    • RE: Testing Requested for the New OpenStore Website

      @messayisto Thanks for letting me know! I agree with @MrT10001 that the app should be sufficient, but it is hard to justify launching the new site if it doesn't work on Ubuntu Touch 😄

    • Testing Requested for the New OpenStore Website

      Hey friends! I've been working on a new version of the OpenStore website and I would love to get some feedback and testing on it. It should be more-or-less feature complete with the old website at this point. You can find the new site here: https://next.open-store.io/

      If you find any issues or have feedback, feel free to use the GitLab Issues to report it.

      Thank you all in advance!

    • RE: OpenStore Planned Downtime April 18th

      I got an early start on this and the maintenance is now over. It was a very painless Ubuntu upgrade 🎉

      Reminder: This will be happening later today (in my timezone). As long as I don't forget, I'll post an update here when it has been completed.

    • OpenStore Planned Downtime April 18th

      Hello all! The OpenStore server will be going down for maintenance April 18th around 2 UTC. I'll be upgrading the OS. As long as all goes well it shouldn't be down for very long.

    • RE: OpenStore Stats for 2024

      @Schlicki2808 those apps that appear on the home page of the OpenStore are manually chosen which is why you might not see all apps that you would expect.

    • OpenStore Stats for 2024

      Happy new year everyone! I have the latest round of stats pulled from the OpenStore for your enjoyment. I don't think there is anything crazy in there since last year, but it still shows steady growth.

      Also, while I have your attention I invite you to check out the preview for the next iteration of the OpenStore's website: https://next.open-store.io/ . If you run into any issues or have any suggestions I invite you to report them over on GitLab.

    • RE: Publishing updated app from another maintainer

      There currently isn't a way to share an app with multiple users. However, you can have a shared account or setup CI to automatically publish changes (for example, see my blog post).

    • OpenStore Planned Downtime May 28th

      Hello all! I just wanted to inform everyone that I am going to take down the OpenStore for maintenance on Sunday, May 28th around 23:30 UTC. I'll be upgrading the OS and using a new Ansible playbook for setup. It'll be switching to a new server, so if things go horribly wrong I can just switch dns back to the old server. I don't expect it to take very long, but Murphy's law could apply here 😂 .

      @nero355 no, the OpenStore isn't tracking any of that data. However the push notification server might be able to give a better idea about that. Maybe @Flohack can post some.

    • RE: Submitting an App

      Hi @dremonon , it sounds like you got the app uploaded & published successfully, congrats! To answer your question, the .click file is the packaging format (similar to an apk or a deb) and you are correct that the .click file is what you need to upload for your app to be on the OpenStore.

      @007fred50 I'm fairly certain it's not an issue with the OpenStore. Can you send me the click you are attempting to upload? As an admin I can see about uploading it on your behalf.

    • RE: upload an App to Open Store - Error

      @007fred50 It looks like the name of your app is LockAppStore.007fred50 (from this: https://github.com/007fred50/lockAppStore/blob/main/manifest.json.in#L2 ) and the app you are trying to upload to on the OpenStore is just lockappstore. You'll either need to change the name of the app in your manifest.json or create a new entry on the OpenStore under the correct name.

    • RE: Let's encrypt internet certificate situation

      You can fix this on the server side by running: certbot renew --force-renewal --preferred-chain "ISRG Root X1" (ref). This is what I did to fix the OpenStore app being broken.

      Otherwise I hear you can blacklist the certificate. Or just wait for the fix for Ubuntu touch to land in an OTA.
