YunoHost application catalog

Here you will find the repositories and versions of every apps available in YunoHost's default catalog.

It is browsable here: https://yunohost.org/apps

The main file of the catalog is apps.json which contains references to the corresponding git repositories for each application, along with a few metadata about them such as its category or maintenance state. This file regularly read by list_builder.py which publish the results on https://app.yunohost.org/default/.

Where can I learn about app packaging in Yunohost ?

• You can browse the contributor documentation : https://yunohost.org/contributordoc
• If you are not familiar with Git/Github, you can have a look at our homemade guide
• Don't hesitate to reach for help on the dedicated application packaging chatroom ... we can even schedule an audio meeting to help you get started !

How to add your app to the application catalog

N.B. : the Yunohost project will NOT integrate in its catalog applications that are not based on free-software upstreams.

To add your application to the catalog:

• Fork this repository and edit the apps.json file
• Add your app's ID and git information at the right alphabetical place
• Indicate the app's functioning state: notworking, inprogress, or working
• Do not add the level entry by yourself. Our automatic test suite ("the CI") will handle it.
• Create a Pull Request

App example addition:

    "wallabag": {
        "url": "https://github.com/abeudin/wallabag_ynh",
        "state": "working"
    }

N.B. : We strongly encourage you to transfer the ownership of your repository to the Yunohost-Apps organization on Github, such that the community will help you with keeping your app working and up to date with packaging evolutions.

N.B.2 : Implicitly, the catalog publishes the HEAD of branch master (this can be overwritten by adding keys branch and revision). Therefore, be careful that any commit on the master branch will automatically be published. We strongly encourage you to develop in separate branches, and only merge changes that were carefully tested. Get in touch with the Apps group to obtain an access to the developer CI where you'll be able to test your app easily.

Updating apps' level in the catalog

App packagers should not manually set their apps' level. The levels of all the apps are automatically updated once per week on Friday.

Helper script

You can use the add_or_update.py python script to add or update your app from one of the 2 json files.

Usage:

./add_or_update.py apps.json [github/gitlab url OR app name [github/gitlab url OR app name [github/gitlab url OR app name ...]]]

How to help translating

Update on Nov. 2020 : this part is broken / not maintained anymore for the moment...

We invite you to use translate.yunohost.org instead of doing Pull Request for files in locales folder.

How to make my app flagged as High Quality ?

A High Quality app will be highlighted in the app list and marked as a level 9 app. To become a High Quality app, a package has to follow the criterias listed here.

Once the app is validated is "high quality", the tag "high_quality": true shall be added to the app infos inside the catalog (apps.json).

Apps flagged as not-maintained

Applications with no recent activity and no active sign from maintainer may be flagged in apps.json with "maintained": false to signify that the app is inactive and may slowly become outdated with respect to the upstream, or with respect to good packaging practices. It does not mean that the app is not working anymore.

Feel free to contact the app group if you feel like taking over the maintenance of a currently unmaintained app!
