Paperclip now has one-click deployment on Cloudron

[OrcVole]

Thank you for Paperclip. We have packaged it for Cloudron, the self-hosting platform, so anyone running a Cloudron server can now install it in one click and keep it updated automatically.

What it is. A community package that runs Paperclip on Cloudron with its PostgreSQL database, automatic backups and one-click updates handled by the platform. It is unofficial and community maintained, and we are grateful that Paperclip's MIT licence and clear build made it possible.

Local coding agents, kept contained. The part we spent the most care on is running Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode inside the app safely. A Cloudron app is a single container, so the package gives the agents their own unprivileged user, reached only through a small wrapper, with a firewall that lets them reach the internet, their workspace and Paperclip's own API, and nothing else on the server. It works with a Claude or ChatGPT subscription, an API key, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint.

Install. In a Cloudron dashboard, choose Add custom app, then Community app, and paste the package's CloudronVersions.json URL.

The package source is at https://github.com/OrcVole/paperclip-cloudron and pull requests are welcome.

Two small asks, if they fit your plans. First, would you consider listing Cloudron among Paperclip's documented installation options? The wger project did exactly this with a short page in its installation docs, and it is the most useful thing a self-hosting reader finds. Second, a setting to move the workspace and project directories out of the instance directory would help any packager that keeps large, changing data outside the backup.

We would be glad of any feedback, and happy to co-maintain the package with you. The Cloudron forum thread, with install details and notes for packagers, is here:
