• umbrelOS on Linux VM

Hey @nmfretz

Just for your information: The developers of Cobalt didn't provide a Docker image with UI support, so I built one myself. The app is truly amazing, and I’d love to see this PR merged. 🚀

Port mapping to 9000 is needed. External access is required to this port because it is not proxied by the app_proxy.

Thanks for reviewing!

Hey @dennysubke! Another great submission!

Added some points that should be changed. Also I think you can remove the directory as the cookies.json would not make a lot of sense now.

Tested it without it and everything worked just fine.

Use the tagline from their repo.

All changes have been made now! Thanks again @al-lac for your help and feedback! 😊

Excellent, thanks @dennysubke. Great initiative creating the image 👌. And thanks for reviewing @al-lac.

I've changed the API to the nearest free port (9013). We'll make the equivalent change in the gallery image. Great idea including the important config instruction as a gallery asset.

Something to consider: how do you feel about moving the note about the processing server config higher in the app description? This way it's not hidden until the user clicks "read more" in the app store. If the user doesn't set this then they'll be using cobalt's server instead which may not be clear to the average user.

If we don't want a ⚠️ symbol to be the first thing shown in the app description we could just use a settings cog ⚙️ or tool icon 🛠️ instead. Something like:

⚙️ In order use your own cobalt instance, go to settings > instances > and toggle "use a custom processing server". Add http://umbrel.local:9013 as your server.

Thanks for the feedback and suggestions @nmfretz! I agree with moving the note higher in the app description to make it more visible. Also, I think using a settings icon ⚙️ instead of the ⚠️ symbol is a great idea for a cleaner look. I've made the necessary adjustments.

Linting Results

Severity	File	Description
ℹ️	cobalt/docker-compose.yml	External port mapping "9013:9000": Port mappings may be unnecessary for the app to function correctly. Docker's internal DNS resolves container names to IP addresses within the same network. External access to the web interface is handled by the app_proxy container. Port mappings are only needed if external access is required to a port not proxied by the app_proxy, or if an app needs to expose multiple ports for its functionality (e.g., DHCP, DNS, P2P, etc.).
⚠️	cobalt/umbrel-app.yml	"icon" and "gallery" needs to be empty for new app submissions: The "icon" and "gallery" fields must be empty for new app submissions as it is being created by the Umbrel team.

Thanks again @dennysubke. I'm sending this live now with 4 of the gallery assets and then will add the 5th one with port 9013 instead of 9000 soon.

Thanks @nmfretz! Do you want me to take care of adding the 5th gallery asset with port 9013, or do you already have it covered?
