What type of hardware are you using: VPS bought online What YunoHost version are you running: 12 What app is this about: Cinny
Describe your issue
Cinny v.4.2.3, currently available, will only support install on a dedicated domain, whereas v 3.2 allowed installation on a subdir/subpath of the main YNH web domain.
I then decided to uninstall and reinstall… no data lost on the server… but this has the side effect of disconnecting all users from their sessions and reconnecting to Matrix and revalidating sessions is a pain for regular users… so it would be preferable not to change much, if that’s even possible, protocol-wise in matrix…
I also installed the Redirect app to ease with the transition for non-authenticated users, to redirect them from the old subpath URL to the new dedicated domain.
So it is possible to install into subpath, but requires building the app after the subpath has become known. You can make it work for your installation, but it would mean much more work for the Yunohost-packager to provide it as an installation option (the Yunohost framework supports building apps from source, but I’m not sure whether it supports mixing in path data in this fashion)
I was using Cinny v3.2 on a YNH 11, using a subpath, which was a valid option in the setup at install through the standard Web interface for installing/configuring a new app.
Now that I have updated to YNH12, I tried upgrading Cinny to the current version (4.2.3), and the only possible option proposed by the interface is a subdomain.
Nothing more complex.
While it may technically be possible if one is interested at what upstream provides… that wouldn’t really count until this is possible, given the options provided by YNH out of the box, IMHO.
But that’s good to know anyway… even just in case the packagers aren’t themselves aware, who knows
