Add cobalt script #1245
Conversation
This script installs necessary dependencies, Docker, and Cobalt Docker images, then starts the Cobalt services.
|
No docker, only bare Metal |
Updated the installation script to include pnpm installation, clone the Cobalt repository, build Cobalt API and Web, create a systemd service for Cobalt API, and configure Nginx.
Updated the Cobalt service management script to stop services, update Cobalt, and start services without using Docker commands.

No git clone, we have a function to pull the latest release: fetch_and_deploy_gh_release in tools.func Line 1688. You also need to use that in the update script as well. But as i see it the App dose not have a tagged release. @MickLesk and @CrazyWolf13 Should we even consider adding it then?

No, I think that's a blocker then, see our requirements, these have been added to the PR template: https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVED/blob/main/.github/pull_request_template.md#-application-requirements-for-new-scripts
Maybe you can request tagged releases at the upstream, but as long as there are no tagged releases, we can't add the app to our repo, we had so many issues reported, back when we used git clone, if the upstream broke users always came to us, so we only allow tagged releases now.

Thank you for the feedback ! I understand the requirement for tagged releases.
I've opened a feature request with the Cobalt upstream project to implement GitHub Releases with version tags : imputnet/cobalt#1498
The issue explains the need for semantic versioning and tagged releases for integration with automation tools like ProxmoxVE Helper Scripts. Once they implement this, I'll be able to update the script to use fetch_and_deploy_gh_release instead of git clone.
I'll keep this PR open and update it once Cobalt has proper releases available. Thanks for your patience !
