Community Download Installation

Confluence User - 23 Jul, 2023

Hi,

I am totally new to this low-code thing and hope that you can help me. From the first impression joget looks VERY promising to me.


I want to create for small companies, mainly my friends, apps which they can install on their Windows PCs.

For this I want to use the Community Download edition.

As I understand it I can download and install it on my Windows PC. Do I need for this additional software on my PC?

When I then created an app, how can I send the app to the user so he can install it on his PC?

I don't know if everything above is possible? Perhaps I do not wholly understand the whole process.


So, please help me on my first steps to overcome the first hurdle. Perhaps there is a tutorial for this.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards

Albert

Hi Albert,

It is very easy to set up Joget DX to be used by your friends/company. By using Joget on-demand service, users dont even need to install Joget on their computer. They only need to go to the website link provided when setting up the cloud service. Administrators can directly configure and develop Joget apps directly on the cloud, just as if it is set up on their Windows PC (Local server).


For more information, visit the Joget on-demand website.

https://www.jogetcloud.com/on-demand.html


For tutorials on how to operate and use Joget DX, visit Joget Academy.

https://academy.joget.org


Hope this helps. Do reply to this thread if you have more questions.

Thanks Albert!

But I want to use the Community Download to have joget on my own premise.

I think all my above thinking is bullshit! To be able to send my customers an app which I created for them I would need to send them a package which contains the app and also the server and the database. My thought was, that they then only have to click on the app icon and can then enter data and use this data for their special needs. Bullshit!

So, I would have to offer them access to my server where they can access their apps which I created for them. This of course would not be possible with my PC and Windows. Which environment would I need for this? And could it be free of cost? What about the joget cloud? Would it be free of cost?

Is the last paragraph doable or also bullshit?

The free 3 users on the run on demand/cloud free tier are these the administrators only or also the end users?

You dont need to send the whole Joget package for other users to use, they just need to connect to where ever you are hosting your Joget server.

Joget is a web-based workflow software. so users would only need either firefox, chrome, or any browser to be able to use. If they have the link to your joget workflow, they can connect anywhere anytime as long as they have an internet connection and the URL to the Joget Workflow. There are many ways to host your Joget server. It is possible to host your own Joget server with your own PC and Windows, though this would mean needing to set up Port Forwarding and configuring SSL on your tomcat server. Here is an article that could help.

Setting Up SSL on Tomcat

Another way to set up Joget server is by using 3rd party web hosting services, here are some articles on this solution.

Another way is like what I mentioned in the previous reply, which is to use Joget on-Demand cloud service. Which automates the process of hosting and lets you directly distribute a URL link to your already hosted Joget Workflow. 

Hope this helps.
