oh, this one fo sure was mentioned on one of the conversations on the direction of NS8.
thats why there was a lot of talks on Modules, and i requested the call on actually running apps on nethserver 8.
I even posted how to run normal generic docker image here, and its very different from normal case.
so, unless its a NS8 module, do not install other applications on the server, least you brick things(ok this part is my own)
