March 13, 20224 yr Currently xml templates seem to be required to be hosted on Github. When I tried to add my xml template repo from Gitlab the template never showed up, but when i cloned the repo to gitlab it worked. I prefer Gitlab and many other developers do too, would it be possible to support Gitlab for hosting xml?
March 13, 20224 yr Due to the prevalence of Community Applications, starting with 6.10, the template repositories page doesn't exist at all. Your options for this are https://forums.unraid.net/topic/112170-allow-template-repositories-to-be-hosted-from-other-sources/?tab=comments#comment-1021630 In other words, Gitlab support on template repositories will never happen. For stuff to be published for the Apps tab it's not a hard "no", but would need to be investigated

For stuff to be published for the Apps tab it's not a hard "no", but would need to be investigated Oh, i didn't know it was going away.... Why bother removing a feature at all? I find the ability to add custom repositories nice, i used it a lot to test how my template would look to users who first downloaded it. Taking away perfectly fine functionality seems like a miss, couldn't Limetech just have hidden it behind an "advanced" toggle? I'm not even sure how template authors are going to test their template easily now. Thanks for the info i guess, it doesn't feel great that CA apps xml must hosted on github; in fact, it feels a little odd to ignore Gitlab and Bitbucket considering they still have a huge market share and many developers prefer those to Github. I would understand if Unraid had a central gitlab repo for all it's CA apps, but that's not the case. Edited March 13, 20224 yr by silman

It's been my mission for 6 years to remove it Ultimately its a feature that has had multiple bugs in it for a couple of years (look at the select container dropdown - not *quite* organized the way it's supposed to, only master branch supported), and with valid and easy to use alternatives (CA Managed private or just dropping the xml into templates-user) its basically redundant to begin with. And I never said CA apps MUST be hosted. Said that I would investigate the alternative if someone insisted on it. I couldn't care less, and both CA and the docker system doesn't care where the actual container is hosted on. Both support any valid repository hosted on any valid container registry.

I guess testing templates will just be more manual given they need to be copied to that location.
