-# Ente Cloudron App Build and Installation Instructions
+# Ente Cloudron – Quick Guide
 
-This document provides detailed instructions for building and installing the Ente Cloudron app, an open-source, end-to-end encrypted photo storage and authentication solution.
+## Build
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/andreasdueren/ente-cloudron.git
+cd ente-cloudron
 
-## Prerequisites
+cloudron build \
+  --set-build-service builder.docker.due.ren \
+  --build-service-token e3265de06b1d0e7bb38400539012a8433a74c2c96a17955e \
+  --set-repository andreasdueren/ente-cloudron \
+  --tag 0.4.5
+```
 
-- **Cloudron CLI**: Ensure the Cloudron CLI is installed and configured on your system. Refer to [Cloudron CLI Documentation](https://docs.cloudron.io/packaging/cli/) for setup instructions.
+## Install
-- **Docker**: Required for local testing or custom builds if needed.
+```bash
-- **Git**: To clone or manage the repository.
+cloudron install \
-- **Repository Access**: Ensure you have access to the Ente Cloudron repository at `andreasdueren/ente-cloudron`.
+  --location ente.due.ren \
-- **Build Service Token**: A token for the Cloudron build service is required (provided in the command below).
+  --image andreasdueren/ente-cloudron:0.4.5
+```
 
-## Build Commands
+## After Install
+1. **S3** – In Cloudron File Manager open `/app/data/config/s3.env`, fill in your endpoint/region/bucket/access/secret, then restart the app from the dashboard.
+2. **Subdomains** – In the app’s *Domains* tab add aliases for `accounts`, `auth`, `cast`, `albums`, `family`. Create matching DNS records pointing at the primary domain (e.g. if the app is `ente.due.ren`, add `accounts.due.ren → ente.due.ren`, etc.).
 
-1. **Clone the Repository** (if not already done):
+Once DNS propagates, use the dedicated hosts:
-   ```bash
+- `https://<app-host>` (the hostname you chose during install, main UI & uploads)
-   git clone https://github.com/andreasdueren/ente-cloudron.git
+- `https://accounts.<domain>`
-   cd ente-cloudron
+- `https://auth.<domain>`
-   ```
+- `https://cast.<domain>`
+- `https://albums.<domain>`
+- `https://family.<domain>`
 
-2. **Build the App Using Cloudron Build Service**:
+Check `cloudron logs --app ente.due.ren -f` or `/app/data/logs/startup.log` if anything looks off.
-   Use the provided build service and token to build the app. Replace `<version>` with the desired version tag (e.g., `0.1.0` or as per `CloudronManifest.json`).
-   ```bash
-   cloudron build --set-build-service builder.docker.due.ren --build-service-token e3265de06b1d0e7bb38400539012a8433a74c2c96a17955e --set-repository andreasdueren/ente-cloudron --tag 1.0.1
-   ```
-   **Note**: The build process should complete within a reasonable time. Monitor the output for any errors.
-
-## Installation Commands
-
-1. **Install the App on Cloudron**:
-   After a successful build, install the app on your Cloudron instance at the desired location (e.g., `ente.due.ren`).
-   ```bash
-   cloudron install --location ente.due.ren --image andreasdueren/ente-cloudron:1.0.1
-   ```
-   **Important**: Do not wait more than 30 seconds for feedback after running the install command. If there's an error, the process may hang, and you should terminate it to troubleshoot.
-   **Note**: Always uninstall and reinstall during development rather than updating an existing app to ensure a clean setup.
-
-## Testing Procedures
-
-1. **Verify Installation**:
-   - Access the app at `https://ente.due.ren` (or your configured domain).
-   - Ensure the Ente web interfaces (Photos, Accounts, Auth, Cast) load correctly.
-
-2. **Check S3 Configuration**:
-   - Confirm that S3 environment variables are set in Cloudron app settings under the 'Environment Variables' section.
-   - Variables to check: `APP_S3_ENABLED`, `APP_S3_ENDPOINT`, `APP_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, `APP_S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`, `APP_S3_BUCKET`.
-
-3. **Monitor Logs for Errors**:
-   - Use the Cloudron CLI to view logs:
-     ```bash
-     cloudron logs --app ente.due.ren -f
-     ```
-   - Alternatively, shell into the app for detailed log inspection:
-     ```bash
-     cloudron exec --app ente.due.ren
-     tail -f /app/data/logs/*
-     ```
-   - Look for S3 connection errors or other issues.
-
-## Deployment Steps
-
-1. **Post-Installation Configuration**:
-   - If S3 is not working, update the environment variables in Cloudron app settings and restart the app:
-     ```bash
-     cloudron restart --app ente.due.ren
-     ```
-
-2. **User Authentication**:
-   - Ente uses its own authentication system. Ensure user registration and login work as expected.
-   - If OIDC integration is desired in the future, it can be configured using Cloudron's OIDC variables (`CLOUDRON_OIDC_IDENTIFIER`, `CLOUDRON_OIDC_CLIENT_ID`, `CLOUDRON_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET`).
-
-## Troubleshooting Common Issues
-
-- **S3 Configuration Errors**:
-  - **Symptom**: App falls back to local storage or logs show S3 connection failures.
-  - **Solution**: Verify S3 environment variables in Cloudron settings. Test connectivity manually using AWS CLI (`aws s3 ls s3://<bucket> --endpoint-url <endpoint>`).
-
-- **Build Failures**:
-  - **Symptom**: Build command errors out or hangs.
-  - **Solution**: Check network connectivity to the build service, ensure the token is correct, and review build logs for specific errors.
-
-- **Installation Hangs**:
-  - **Symptom**: Install command does not complete within 30 seconds.
-  - **Solution**: Terminate the command and check Cloudron logs for errors (`cloudron logs --app ente.due.ren`). Reinstall if necessary.
-
-- **App Not Starting**:
-  - **Symptom**: App shows as 'Stopped' or inaccessible after install.
-  - **Solution**: Check logs for startup errors (`cloudron logs --app ente.due.ren`). Ensure database connectivity and correct configuration.
-
-## Configuration Examples
-
-- **S3 Environment Variables** in Cloudron settings:
-  ```
-  APP_S3_ENABLED=true
-  APP_S3_ENDPOINT=s3.amazonaws.com
-  APP_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID=your_access_key
-  APP_S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=your_secret_key
-  APP_S3_BUCKET=your_bucket_name
-  ```

+Cloudron Application Packaging System Prompt
+
+  You are a Cloudron packaging expert specializing in creating complete, production-ready Cloudron packages. When a user requests packaging an application, follow this comprehensive process:
+
+  Core Process
+
+  1. Application Research: Research the target application's architecture, dependencies, configuration requirements, and deployment patterns
+  2. Package Generation: Create all required Cloudron packaging files
+  3. Documentation: Provide build and deployment instructions
+
+  Required Files to Generate
+
+  CloudronManifest.json
+
+  - Use reverse-domain notation for app ID (e.g., io.example.appname)
+  - Configure memory limits based on application requirements (minimum 128MB)
+  - Set httpPort matching NGINX configuration
+  - Include necessary addons: postgresql, mysql, mongodb, redis, localstorage, sendmail
+  - Add complete metadata: title, description, author, website, contactEmail
+  - Configure authentication: oidc (preferred) or ldap
+  - Include postInstallMessage with login credentials if applicable
+  - Add health check endpoints
+  - Set proper minBoxVersion (typically "7.0.0")
+
+  Dockerfile
+
+  - Base image: FROM cloudron/base:5.0.0
+  - Cloudron filesystem structure:
+    - /app/code - application code (read-only)
+    - /app/data - persistent data (backed up)
+    - /tmp - temporary files
+    - /run - runtime files
+  - Install dependencies and application
+  - Copy initialization data to /tmp/data
+  - Set proper permissions and ownership
+  - Configure services to log to stdout/stderr
+  - Entry point: CMD ["/app/code/start.sh"]
+
+  start.sh
+
+  - Initialize /app/data from /tmp/data on first run
+  - Configure application using Cloudron environment variables
+  - Handle addon configurations (database connections, etc.)
+  - Generate secrets/API keys on first run
+  - Set proper file permissions (chown cloudron:cloudron)
+  - Run database migrations if needed
+  - Configure authentication providers
+  - Launch application with supervisor or directly
+
+  NGINX Configuration
+
+  - Listen on port specified in CloudronManifest.json
+  - Handle proxy headers properly:
+  proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
+  proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
+  proxy_set_header Host $host;
+  - Configure static file serving
+  - Set up authentication routes for OIDC callbacks
+  - Ensure logs go to stdout/stderr
+
+  Supervisor Configuration (if needed)
+
+  - Multiple process management
+  - Proper signal handling
+  - Run processes as cloudron user
+  - Configure log output to stdout/stderr
+
+  Authentication Integration
+
+  OIDC (Preferred)
+
+  - Environment variables: CLOUDRON_OIDC_IDENTIFIER, CLOUDRON_OIDC_CLIENT_ID, CLOUDRON_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET
+  - Callback route: /api/v1/session/callback
+  - User provisioning and group mapping
+  - Session management compatible with Cloudron proxy
+
+  LDAP (Fallback)
+
+  - Environment variables: CLOUDRON_LDAP_SERVER, CLOUDRON_LDAP_PORT, CLOUDRON_LDAP_BIND_DN, CLOUDRON_LDAP_BIND_PASSWORD
+  - User search base and group mapping
+  - Proper LDAP query configuration
+
+  Cloudron Environment Variables
+
+  Always utilize these standard variables:
+  - CLOUDRON_APP_ORIGIN - Application URL
+  - CLOUDRON_MAIL_SMTP_* - Email configuration
+  - Database addon variables (e.g., CLOUDRON_POSTGRESQL_URL)
+  - CLOUDRON_LDAP_* - LDAP configuration
+  - CLOUDRON_OIDC_* - OIDC configuration
+
+  Best Practices
+
+  1. Security: Never expose secrets, use environment variables
+  2. Persistence: Store data in /app/data, initialize from /tmp/data
+  3. Updates: Handle schema migrations and configuration updates
+  4. Logging: All logs to stdout/stderr for Cloudron log aggregation
+  5. Health Checks: Implement endpoints for monitoring
+  6. Process Management: Use supervisor for multi-process applications
+  7. File Permissions: Ensure cloudron user can read/write necessary files
+  8. Building: use the cloudron build service under builder.docker.due.ren
+  9. Installation: always uninstall and install fresh, never update an app during development
+
+  Build Instructions Format
+
+  Create a markdown file with:
+  - Prerequisites and dependencies
+  - Build commands (cloudron build, cloudron install)
+  - Testing procedures
+  - Deployment steps
+  - Troubleshooting common issues
+  - Configuration examples
+
+  Documentation References
+
+  - Cloudron CLI: https://docs.cloudron.io/packaging/cli/
+  - Packaging Tutorial: https://docs.cloudron.io/packaging/tutorial/
+  - Manifest Reference: https://docs.cloudron.io/packaging/manifest/
+  - Addons Guide: https://docs.cloudron.io/packaging/addons/
+
+Viewing logs
+
+To view the logs of an app, use the logs command:
+```cloudron logs --app blog.example.com```
+```cloudron logs --app 52aae895-5b7d-4625-8d4c-52980248ac21```
+Pass the -f to follow the logs. Note that not all apps log to stdout/stderr. For this reason, you may need to look further in the file system for logs:
+```cloudron exec --app blog.example.com       # shell into the app's file system```
+``# tail -f /run/wordpress/wp-debug.log      # note that log file path and name is specific to the app```
+
+
+  When packaging an application, research thoroughly, create production-ready configurations, and provide comprehensive documentation for successful deployment.
+
+Always Build with the build service (switch out name and version) build with cloudron build --set-build-service builder.docker.due.ren --build-service-token 
+  e3265de06b1d0e7bb38400539012a8433a74c2c96a17955e --set-repository andreasdueren/ente-cloudron --tag 0.1.0
+
+cloudron install --location ente.due.ren --image andreasdueren/ente-cloudron:0.1.0
+
+After install and build, don’t wait more than 30 seconds for feedback. When there is an error during install, this will not finish and you will wait forever.
+
+Remember all of this crucial information throughout the packaging process. Create a file for persistency if necessary to poll from later. 

Fix this packaging of ente for cloudron: 
+
+https://github.com/ente-io/ente/tree/main
+
+There is documentation about self-hosting here: https://github.com/ente-io/ente/tree/main/docs/docs/self-hosting and here https://github.com/ente-io/ente/tree/main/server
+
+Use Caddy as a reverse proxy. More info on setting it up: https://help.ente.io/self-hosting/reverse-proxy
+
+Set up all web-apps (public-albums, cast, accounts, family). Use a path (/albums, /cast…) and not sub domains.: https://help.ente.io/self-hosting/museum
+
+
+Stick to the original maintainers setup as close as possible while adhering to cordons restricti0ns. Use cloudrons postgresql as a database and an external s3 instance for object storage. You can use the following credentials for development but never commit these to any repository: 

+  primary-storage:
+    key: "bbdfcc78c3d8aa970498fc309f1e5876"           # Your S3 access key
+    secret: "4969ba66f326b4b7af7ca69716ee4a16931725a351a93643efce6447f81c9d68"        # Your S3 secret key  
+    endpoint: "40db7844966a4e896ccfac20ac9e7fb5.r2.cloudflarestorage.com"      # S3 endpoint URL
+    region: "wnam"        # S3 region (e.g. us-east-1)
+    bucket: "ente-due-ren"        # Your bucket name
+
Here are the instructions as to how to use an external s3: https://help.ente.io/self-hosting/guides/external-s3

 Your Ente installation is almost ready!
 
-## Required: S3 Storage Configuration
+## Required: External Object Storage
 
-Before you can use Ente, you need to configure an S3-compatible storage service:
+Before using Ente, configure an S3-compatible object storage provider:
 
-1. Go to your Cloudron dashboard
+1. Open the Cloudron dashboard and select your Ente app.
-2. Click on your Ente app
+2. Launch the web terminal.
-3. Click on "Terminal"
+3. Edit `/app/data/config/s3.env` and provide values for **all** required keys:
-4. Edit the S3 configuration template:
+   ```bash
+   nano /app/data/config/s3.env
    ```
-   nano /app/data/config/s3.env.template
+4. Save the file and restart the app from the Cloudron dashboard.
-   ```
+
-5. Fill in your S3 credentials (AWS S3, MinIO, DigitalOcean Spaces, etc.)
+Supported variables:
-6. Save the file and rename it:
+- `S3_ENDPOINT` (e.g. `https://<account>.r2.cloudflarestorage.com`)
-   ```
+- `S3_REGION`
-   mv /app/data/config/s3.env.template /app/data/config/s3.env
+- `S3_BUCKET`
-   ```
+- `S3_ACCESS_KEY`
-7. Restart your Ente app from the Cloudron dashboard
+- `S3_SECRET_KEY`
+- `S3_PREFIX` (optional path prefix)
+
+## Required: DNS Subdomains
+
+Ente now serves supporting apps on dedicated hosts. Create DNS records (CNAME or A) for:
+
+- `accounts.<root-domain>`
+- `auth.<root-domain>`
+- `cast.<root-domain>`
+- `albums.<root-domain>`
+- `family.<root-domain>`
+
+For example, if you installed the app at `ente.due.ren`, create records for `accounts.due.ren`, `auth.due.ren`, etc., all pointing to `ente.due.ren`. After adding the DNS records, open the Cloudron dashboard → Ente app → Domains tab and add each hostname as an alias. DNS propagation must complete before the `/accounts` and `/auth` apps will accept sessions.
 
 ## Next Steps
 
-1. Once S3 is configured, visit your app URL to create an admin account
+- Visit the app URL and create the first administrator account.
-2. Configure your mobile apps to use your custom self-hosted server (Settings → Advanced → Custom Server)
+- Configure the Ente mobile apps to use your custom server (`Settings → Advanced → Custom Server`).
-3. Enjoy your private, end-to-end encrypted photo storage! 
+- Optional: set the environment variables `CLOUDRON_OIDC_IDENTIFIER`, `CLOUDRON_OIDC_CLIENT_ID`, and `CLOUDRON_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET` to enable Cloudron SSO in the generated Museum config.
+- Administrative CLI tooling is available inside the container. Open a terminal and run:
+  ```bash
+  cloudron exec --app ente.due.ren -- sudo -u cloudron ente --help
+  cloudron exec --app ente.due.ren -- sudo -u cloudron ente admin --help
+  ```
+  The CLI stores its state at `/app/data/cli-data` (inside the container it is available at `/cli-data`). Consult the upstream CLI guide for per-command usage, including storage quota adjustments.
+
+## Administration Helpers
+
+- The Ente CLI binary is shipped at `/app/code/ente`. Run it via the Cloudron web terminal.
+- CLI configuration lives at `/app/data/home/.ente/config.yaml` and already points to `https://<your-domain>/api`.
+- The main Museum configuration is generated at `/app/data/museum/configurations/local.yaml`. Delete this file to regenerate it with updated environment variables.
+
+Logs are streamed to the Cloudron dashboard. For deeper inspection use:
+```bash
+cloudron logs --app <location> -f
+```

+### Cloudron Admin Notes
 
-- S3-compatible object storage
+After installing on Cloudron remember to:
+
+1. Open the File Manager for the app, edit `/app/data/config/s3.env` with your object storage endpoint/keys, and restart the app.
+2. Add alias domains for `accounts`, `auth`, `cast`, `albums`, and `family` in the app’s **Domains** tab (create matching DNS records pointing to the primary hostname).
+3. Use the bundled Ente CLI for admin tasks via `cloudron exec --app <location> -- sudo -u cloudron ente --help`. The CLI stores its state in `/app/data/cli-data` (exposed inside the container at `/cli-data`) and already trusts your app’s API endpoint.
+
+The main photos UI continues to live on the hostname you selected during installation.
