Process:
- Find/create a docker-compose file for the one click app
- Convert yaml file to json
- Copy the content into the one-click app structure. See this for the reference: wordpress.json
- Variables are prefixed with
$$cap
- Variables can be anywhere in the JSON and they will be replaced by what user enters
- There are 2 special variables called
$$cap_appname
and$$cap_root_domain
which exist for all oneclick apps. If your app needs an enviromental variable that needs to point to the URL of the app, you can use$$cap_appname.$$cap_root_domain
which resolves to something likemyappname.rootdomain.com
- Each custom variable must have
id
,label
. They may also havedefaultValue
,validRegex
,description
. - Other than
image
,environment
,ports
,volumes
,depends_on
, other parameters are currently being ignored by CapRover. Make sure they are not crucial. - Instead of
image
property in a service, you can usedockerfileLines
which is an array of strings. - Some webapps, use a non-standard HTTP port. For example, Adminer's Docker image uses port 8080. In this case, add
containerHttpPort
to the service. See adminer.json for example.
After creating your One-Click app json, like this, you need to test it before creating a Pull Request. Here is how you test it:
- Login to your CapRover dashboard
- Go to apps and click on Create One Click App
- Select the last option from the dropdown list "TEMPLATE"
- Copy and paste your JSON there, and click NEXT.
- Enter values and make sure it's working as expected.
