"Projects under this category should make use of user-generated content on the internet in some way"

Please can someone elaborate on this a little.

Mostafa Said • Apr 13 '22

Hello @georgeisiguzo! in simple English , user-generated content is where a user can generate content on the internet. For example when the user is able to publish an article, upload a picture, submit a tweet, write a review ...etc

teri • May 11 '22

I built an income tracker where the user is able to write on the input field, submit their data, edit and update the document, as well as delete the document. Does this qualify it under the category for user-generated content?

Mostafa Said • May 17 '22

I think so, I'm not sure. According to my understanding, a user-generated content is where a user is able to generate content for others to see not himself. But this is how I understand the concept I'm not sure if that's the right definition. Anyway, Best of luck and well done on your project, It's actually a great idea!

teri • May 17 '22

Thank you, Mostafa

Georgie • Apr 13 '22

Thanks @moose_said

So this means on the app I create, the users should be able to create (or generate) content right?

Thanks again

Mostafa Said • Apr 14 '22

I believe so yes. You're most welcome :)

Riday • Apr 13 '22

Hello,
I have the same doubt. Can someone please explain what that means? Or give some examples?

Thanks!

mshajid • Apr 13 '22

Yes, I need to get an understanding of that, or maybe, if it's necessary keep spaces for user inputs.,

Can I host appwrite in Azure?

Torsten Dittmann • Apr 13 '22

Yes! You can use Azure Virtual Machines :)

Tessa Mero • Jul 31 '23

in case anyone runs into this thread, here's an update for azure and appwrite techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/app...

Jackson Kasi • Aug 1 '23

You're welcome! But this reply is after such a long day. 😄☕️

Aditya Oberai • Apr 13 '22

Hey Jackson
A Standard_B2s VM on Azure is more than enough to get you running Appwrite for yourself. I've tried this one in the past and it works well 😁

Jackson Kasi • Apr 13 '22

really thanks :)

Elsa • Apr 13 '22

please tell me, how can do it?

Aditya Oberai • Apr 14 '22

Can you please let me know till what step you're comfortable? Are you able to create a VM or not?

Elsa • Apr 14 '22

I can create vm. but how to install appwite in ubuntu vm?

Elsa • Apr 14 '22

I can create VM on azure (windows vm or ubuntu vm). but how to install for production level or scalable or maintainable.

Aditya Oberai • Apr 14 '22

Once you create an Ubuntu VM, go ahead and install the Docker CLI.

Once that is done, you can install Appwrite on your system by running the following command in your terminal:

docker run -it --rm \
    --volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
    --volume "$(pwd)"/appwrite:/usr/src/code/appwrite:rw \
    --entrypoint="install" \
    appwrite/appwrite:0.13.4

Elsa • Apr 14 '22

really thanks :) ♥

Riday • Apr 13 '22

Hello Appwrite team,
Are we allowed to do the hackathon in a team? I would love to work on this with my best friend.

Also, for the rewards and swag, will both the members receive the swag (stickers and tee-shirt)? Or only one?

Thanks in advance!

Aditya Oberai • Apr 14 '22

Hi Riday
Yes, all team members will be eligible for swags.

Riday • Apr 14 '22

Thank you so much for the reply!

Mostafa Said • Apr 13 '22

I believe you can but Dev Community will not distribute the prize. If you win, they will give the prize to the one who submitted the project.

Mr. Bud • Apr 17 '22

Hey there, everyone! Hope all of you're doing great on the hackathon.

I'm having a little problem with using Avatars API in Python, I'm using this code to get a favicon for a website but have no idea where the image is stored or ready to view.

from appwrite.client import Client
from appwrite.services.locale import Locale
from appwrite.services.avatars import Avatars
client = Client()

(client
  .set_endpoint('http://localhost:80/v1') # Your API Endpoint
  .set_project('62583fb9e3****') # Your project ID
  .set_key('hey-is-correct') # Your secret API key
)
avatars = Avatars(client)
result = avatars.get_favicon('https://reddit.com')
print(result)

Any idea on that? Thanks!

Vincent Ge • Apr 18 '22

The file returned to result is a binary of the image. You can write this to a string or a buffer to save the image.

Try this:

from appwrite.client import Client
from appwrite.services.avatars import Avatars

client = Client()

(client
 .set_endpoint(<your endpoint>)  # Your API Endpoint
 .set_project(<your project>)  # Your project ID
 .set_key(<your key>)

avatars = Avatars(client)

result = avatars.get_favicon('https://reddit.com')
f = open("reddit.png", "wb")
f.write(result)
f.close()

Mr. Bud • Apr 19 '22

it works! Thank you.

Sahil Patel • May 4 '22

Hey there, when I execute the cloud function I get this error. There is only a simple console log in index js file.

TypeError: userFunction is not a function
at /usr/local/src/server.js:38:19
at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:96:5)

Vincent Ge • May 4 '22

Do you mind providing me the code you've deployed? I can take a look :D

Sahil Patel • May 5 '22

It is just a simple console,log("Hello there").

Vincent Ge • May 5 '22

Did you call res.json() or res.send()?

Did you generate the function and deploy via the CLI or through a compressed file?

Sahil Patel • May 5 '22

I tried another example from 30days of appwrite and also from the Appwrite docs. But no luck.

Yes I did generate it and deployed using compressed file on the Appwrite console. And executed as well from there. Yes I did do res.json() and res.send().

Vincent Ge • May 6 '22

That's strange 🤔

If the generated example from the CLI worked fine, then it isn't anything wrong with the deployment or executor.

Are you calling the code in a file outside index.js? Where and how is userFunction defined?

If you want to get quicker responses, I recommend you join our Discord and tag me in your questions @VincentGe

tq-bit • May 3 '22 • Edited

Hello guys,

I'm struggling with Appwrite indexes. Here's my use case:

I have a database table with three columns: id, username and is_public
I would like to use the Web SDK to query:
- All items from a single user (username = user.name)
- AND only items of this user that were made public (is_public = true)

For this, I tried to create a search index. I tried a few names:

is_public-username <- Received error message in the browser's console: AppwriteException: Index not found: user_id,is_public - Link to image
is_public,username <- Does not qualify as a valid index key - Link to image
Any other index name I tried would not work
If I only try and query for a single column, everything works as I would expect it. - Link to image

Here's the part of the FE code that I use to specify the query:

const response = await appwriteClient.database.listDocuments(
        RECIPES_COLLECTION_ID,
        [Query.equal('user_id', userId), Query.equal('is_public', true)]
);

Unfortunatly, I could not find any explanation on what I could do. So my question is:

What name must I give my search index to consider both query parameters using the web SDK?
Am I doing something wrong about the query building? I tried and follow the explanations on indexes and query building with no success

Vincent Ge • May 4 '22 • Edited

Hi, you were reaaallllly close to getting it right. The issue you were having with is_public,username <- Does not qualify as a valid index key - Link to image is that you had a comma in the Index Key. We don't allow commas in the name of an index because that really messes with parsing SQL :P

For example, this is from my project, patina-bot

await database.listDocuments("memedex", [sdk.Query.equal("user_id", msg.author.id), sdk.Query.equal("meme_name", memeName)]);

Here's how I would create a two column index:

Vincent Ge • May 4 '22

And here's what the created index looks like

tq-bit • May 5 '22

thank you so much for your reply. Works like a charm now 🥳

Georgie • Apr 24 '22

Hi everyone! Please I need help.

I'm using an express API to avoid CORS issues. How can I implement session management from the server.

doing sdk.account.createsession(...) doesn't manage session across frontend pages

Thanks.

Vincent Ge • May 4 '22

Hi there, if you're trying to solve CORS issues, add a relevant web platform. We block all cross domain request by default for security, but you can add as many allowed web platforms as you wish.

The Server SDK isn't really meant to be used with end user sessions, they're under an Admin scope. I would just resolve CORS issues and use a frontend SDK :D

Reference => dev.to/appwrite/30daysofappwrite-y...

Georgie • May 4 '22

Thanks. I was using Gitpod and even though I added web platforms to my project, I still get CORS issues.

I'm using digital Ocean now and its working fine

Vincent Ge • May 5 '22

This might be something specific to the way Gitpod routes their requests... But it should work still.

Have you seen Appwrite + Gitpod in this guide? gitpod.io/guides/appwrite-and-gitpod

Asaolu Elijah 🧙‍♂️ • May 7 '22

I was having the same cors issue (with Gitpod), however, changing the host name from the default http to httpsfixed the issue for me.

Vincent Ge • Apr 18 '22

To participate, your projects can be as complex or as simple as you feel comfortable with. We encourage you to build what ever you have the time/knowledge to build. If you're out for the prizes, you might want to do something more novel or cool to catch the judges eyes ;)

Vinit Gupta • Apr 14 '22

I had a question about the storage :
Since there is no cloud version of Appwrite, where do we store the user data like email, password and media?

Aditya Oberai • Apr 14 '22

Hi Vinit
For the hackathon, you can either host Appwrite on your local machine or a cloud VM. In the setup process, Appwrite creates a Docker volume on your local storage. After that, you don't need worry about the user data, Appwrite's APIs, like the Account API (for authentication) and the Storage API (for media), will manage all the rest.

Vinit Gupta • Apr 14 '22

Thanks a lot for the clarification.
Also, even after installing Appwrite using npm, CMD returns :
appwrite command does not exist.

Is there another way to install Appwrite CLI on Windows 10?

Aditya Oberai • Apr 14 '22

Is this issue occuring after running the command npm install -g appwrite-cli?

ikumen • Apr 14 '22

Does restarting the shell help?

Vinit Gupta • Apr 15 '22

Yes it is occurring after that

ngou loic • Apr 29 '22

Hello, I am building my project with appwrite, Can I query database in a cloud function? I keep getting "execution timeout" error.

 const { parcel_title,parcel_id,amount,username} = data;
  const notifTitle = `New offer  for "${parcel_title}"`;
  const notifBody = `${username} offered ${amount}XAF to carry "${parcel_title}"`;


  let parcelPromise = database.getDocument(parcelsCollectionId,parcel_id);


  parcelPromise.then(function (parcel) {
    let userPromise = database.getDocument(usersCollectionId,parcel.sender_id);

    ```

Fabian Reyes • Apr 14 '22

Is it possible to participate with the same application developed for mobile and web in different categories? i.e.:

BOT" application made with Web Technologies and apply in Web2 Wizards.
Application "BOT" made in Flutter and apply in Mobile Moguls

thanks !

Brian Bethencourt • Apr 15 '22

Hey Fabian! When it comes to submitting to multiple categories, we will decide a category for you when it comes time for judging. Typically based on whichever category your project fits best into.

yamit villamil • Apr 13 '22 • Edited

Hello :)
Can i use ReactNative?

Aditya Oberai • Apr 13 '22

Hi Yamit
Yes, you can. Our Web SDK can be used with React Native.

yamit villamil • Apr 13 '22

I checked and it working fine :)

Ad Xt • May 4 '22

First time working with Appwrite and I am trying to add login/signup features. I was able to install it with Docker but things didn't go well on localhost, so I decided to deploy the app with vercel, now I have a 405 Error - Appwrite Exception.

Vincent Ge • May 4 '22

Hmmm, what error did you get on local host?

Were you able to access the Appwrite console on local host?

Ad Xt • May 4 '22

I can access the console on localhost.

Error on localhost:
Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'localhost/v1/account' from origin 'localhost....' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.

Ad Xt • May 5 '22

The error is gone, the "hostname" in console platforms was incorrect.

Vincent Ge • May 5 '22

That would makes sense. The platforms are meant to whitelist cross origin requests. Afterall you don't want someone to spoof your frontend and make requests to your Appwrite instance. They'd then be able to inject code to steal passwords etc ;)

Gourav Singh Rawat • May 1 '22

Hi everyone. I was recently deploying my appwrite application. But where I tried creating a session, it shows cross-origin error.

Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at http://localhost/signup/v1/account/sessions. (Reason: CORS header ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ does not match ‘https://localhost’).

Does anyone knows how do I fix this. I'm used npx create-react-app

Vincent Ge • May 4 '22

What you're missing is adding a Web Platform in the console. Check this out:
dev.to/appwrite/30daysofappwrite-y...

We block CORS request by default for security, you just need to allow them through adding a Web Platform.

Gulshan Aggarwal • May 2 '22 • Edited

Help Required!✋

My one of the document field path is going to be like array of objects, nested objects in the image shown below but I'm confused is this possible with appwrite because appwrite only supports attributes such as string ,float, integer, email, ip, enum, boolean & url.

Vincent Ge • May 4 '22

You have a few options, document attributes can be made into arrays, or you can save your JSON as a string.

These wouldn't result in queryable data, because querying unstructure data is terrible for performance.

If you want to create something like this that must be queried, creative relational DB design allows you achieve much the same.

Gulshan Aggarwal • May 4 '22 • Edited

It means it's not possible with Appwrite ? Thanks for the detailed solution but now I have decided to use Firebase for database and Appwrite only for login service in my current project.

Tamal Das • Apr 15 '22

How do i deploy a web app which uses Appwrite, like normally i deploy a react app to vercel, is it the same way for Appwrite too ?

Or are there some changes you need to make to the .env files and declare environment variables in vercel ?

I am totally new to these stuffs, i'll be glad if ya'all reply !!

ikumen • Apr 15 '22

Appwrite is the backend (e.g, database, storage, user, functions) that you self host where ever you like (see appwrite.io/docs/installation one-click section). The 30 days of appwrite is good place to start, helped me a lot in understanding how it all works.

Tamal Das • Apr 15 '22

Thanks a tonn !!

dev.to/appwrite/30daysofappwrite-a... <-- This was what i was looking for !!

Priyanshu Singh • Apr 13 '22

Hii, I'll try Appwrite for the first time. So would basic projects that use Appwrite be considered as a valid project??

Mostafa Said • Apr 13 '22

Well, I will try appwrite for the first time too. I believe if you think of any idea where a user can generate content on the internet. User-Generated content like making a tweet, publishing an article, uploading pictures... etc

Eldad A. Fux • Apr 14 '22

Yes :)

ngou loic • Apr 30 '22

Hello, I hosted appwrite on my vps, I am query the datase inside cloud function, But I got an error in logs : Executionn timeout.

ngou loic • Apr 30 '22

Vincent Ge • May 4 '22

I would sanity check that you've passed in all the required environment variables.

We pass in project ID by default, but you have to add your project's endpoint and API key in the settings of your cloud function :)

ngou loic • May 5 '22

Yes, I passed required parameters: APPWRITE_FUNCTION_ENDPOINT and APPWRITE_FUNCTION_API_KEY

Vincent Ge • May 5 '22

Do you know how long it takes to execute the query outside of cloud function? If you're getting a timeout, the query might be really large and slow. I would also try to do a simple write to a collection to see if your client is initialized correctly and your API key has the correct permissions.

By default, the function times out after 15 seconds. If you're getting a timeout error, consider increasing the timeout in the settings of your function.

ngou loic • May 6 '22

I tried debugging the first getDocument request, it failed, I tried the same request on postman it worked, then I tried to use axios manually, it did not worked, maybe there is something in cloud functions environnement that prevent execution, I am not experience enough on Docker to watch there..

Vincent Ge • May 6 '22

You should certainly be able to use the SDK just fine in a cloud function... There's a few things you can look at for reference:

Nevermind. Fixed by changing my domain from mydevcorner.vercel.app to mydevcorner.vercel.app

gersondi • May 10 '22

Appwrite when installed locally has it's endpoint "locahost". I have Appwrite on Gitpod then what will be my Appwrite endpoint?

Brandon Roberts • May 10 '22

Your Appwrite endpoint is in the settings for the project. Go to your project inside the Appwrite instance, and go to Settings, and the API endpoint is there.

You need to use https instead of http.

For example, using our integration repo gitpod.io/#https://github.com/appw... with a new instance. An example Appwrite endpoint URL would be:

https://8080-appwrite-integrationfor-ljtmw6hfg51.ws-us44xl.gitpod.io/v1

gersondi • May 11 '22

Got it. Thanks!

Mostafa Said • Apr 30 '22

Does a not deployed project has less chance to win in the hachathon?

Gotcha! 👍

Ansh Saini • Apr 29 '22

How can I access the currently logged in user's ID on my next js server? If I create an API with next js, I need to know the credentials of the user who is using the API.

Aditya Oberai • Apr 29 '22

After you create an account session (log in a user) using the Accounts API, the userId of the logged in user is available in the session object returned as the response from theSDK.

Ansh Saini • Apr 30 '22

Session is created by the frontend. I want to identify the user on the server.

Aditya Oberai • Apr 30 '22

In that case you can create a JWT. The user details should be identifiable in the payload, which you can pass to and check on the server.

Ansh Saini • Apr 30 '22

Someone answered this on discord.

It will, but its been outdated for a few good versions, it will be a challenging task 🙂

Ansh Saini • Apr 16 '22 • Edited

"Projects under this category should make use of user-generated content on the internet in some way"

Does this mean we have to scrape already existing content from the web and create an app that makes use of that content? (for example fetching a user's tweets using Twitter API) OR,
Does this mean that users should be able to post NEW content on the app we build?

Mr. Bud • Apr 14 '22

Hey there! Does any buddy here know how to open AppWrite console in Python? I have installed AppWrite but have no idea about opening the console.

Once you've installed Appwrite on your local system, the next step is to run http://localhost/ in your browser.

Yongchang He • Apr 14 '22

Hello, I have installed Appwrite console, and would you please let me know where I can find the 'Appwrite console'? MacOS. Thank you.

Will a react native mobile app that does not use of user-generated content fall under the Mobile Moguls category or have to fall under Web2 Wizards since it would be making use of the Web SDK ? It is finance based

Hey guys, What is the use case of node js server sdk of appwrite. I think the web sdk can do almost everything. Just curious to know the difference between them for JAM stack development.

Christy Jacob • Apr 15 '22 • Edited

Great question...
The Node JS SDK is a Server SDK whereas the web SDK is a Client SDK

They have different powers ( if you may ).

You can refer to this article which explains the differences

Hello there, just a question regarding deployment. Is it possible to deploy Appwrite to Heroku? I'm totally new to Appwrite and I've been struggling with this for quite some time now.

Vincent Ge • May 6 '22

Ah, yes. You're not alone. Heroku should be possible in theory, but I've seen similar complaints. It seems Heroku doens't play nice with Appwrite at the moment. I would recomment a DigitalOcean droplet, GCP VM, Elastic containers from AWS, or similar VPCs (like azure, vultur, alibaba cloud, linode, etc).

Menard Maranan • May 6 '22

Thanks for answering!
Actually, I just went for digital ocean after struggling with it for quite some time.

Fatih Küçükkarakurt • Apr 22 '22

You can have whatever you'd like in there :)

jafzak • Apr 25 '22

In the mobile moguls category, is there a particular category of apps to create, or can we create any type of app as long as it uses the appwrite SDK

Vincent Ge • May 4 '22

You can create what ever you wish :) I wouldn't worry about the exact category of app you've created. If it's cool enough, we'll figure out something for you!

Focus on building something interesting, fun, or cool!

jafzak • Apr 25 '22

For the mobile moguls category, what kind of apps are we supposed to make, also does the app have to be fully functional?

Georgie • Apr 20 '22

I have limited space on my PC. Can I install Appwrite on digital Ocean instead?
Is it allowed?

Hello! Unfortunately, DEV hackathons are currently only open to community members 18 years of age and older. We would absolutely love to open this up to younger community members, but we are legally unable to at this time. We revisit the topic frequently as a team and intend to open up our challenges to younger folks if and when it's possible for us to do so. I'm so sorry to bear this news. We really value having all of you as part of DEV.

Hey @nikolayadvolodkin
For your submission, we'll definitely need a public code repository for your project. Aside from that, we would appreciate a video recording or screenshots of your project too.

As far as judging goes, we'll be looking at the project you build and how it leverages Appwrite to solve your problem.

Rohit Patil • Apr 27 '22

I want to deploy my app on vercel, how to do that?

Vincent Ge • May 4 '22

You would have to deploy your frontend app on Vercel, then deploy Appwrite on a separate VPC or container somewhere. Make sure you add a web platform pointing to the vercel deployment to allow cross origin requests!
