@p44 sorry, I think I gave you the wrong script! That is meant only for zeroing out rest of the disk (like we do in 1-click images). To erase the entire disk, you probably have to do something else. My understanding is that atleast for VMs in public cloud, this is done automatically. This came up as a security issue in SSD servers a long time ago. VPS providers were not formatting them because it reduces life span of the disk. I guess as a hack, you can install plain ubuntu on the bare metal. And then, run the script command I posted earlier. Which probably has the same net effect as erasing. You have to run that command in the terminal/via ssh.

@scooke I definitely will! I decided to move when the previous downtime happened because of how they handle things but it's on the backburner until I have some free time. I didn't expect the VPS to go down again this soon. Sigh. I'll keep an eye out for the OVH deals, thanks!

Hi @apkdlpw, this is a very off topic question for the cloudron forum (or are you maybe a spam bot?). I think you can get better help for nextcloud topic in their own forum at https://help.nextcloud.com/.

I see it here atleast - [image: 1678784151144-68508f99-e456-4a22-8f74-861b990bdf6f-image.png] And also when creating a new post: [image: 1678784191989-4d17be8d-9a8b-4f24-a69e-efec46cbda81-image-resized.png]

Interesting, but doubt I'll use it as there aren't any filters for open source/ self hostable so most of it isn't relevant to me. Likely stick to looking at things like https://selfhosted.libhunt.com/ and https://alternativeto.net/ https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/ pretty useful too but I mostly forget about that one. Saying that, I do also sometimes look at stuff like: https://stackshare.io/collaboration https://stackshare.io/business_tools Just to see which tools are popular (and then look on the other sites to find open source and self hostable alternatives for them)

@robi said in Automate video uploads to several platforms?: streaming Streamyard seems to be the leader in this space https://streamyard.com/ But https://restream.io/ claim to stream to 30+ places (but I could quickly find a list of what that includes)

@humptydumpty the cached read -T option is not very useful in this case. Surely helps to have that fast but it is just cached.

@girish It's working now, thank you. I missed the verify link in my email, so it was restricting my categories.

@Santoz Forget Windows. I use a Bitami Wordpress VM. That way it stays on my local machine. No sense having it out there; if it got hacked, kiss ALL my sites bye. Did you have anything else to add?

@BrutalBirdie thank you. I'm not currently using cifs/sshfs for Cloudron. But that might explain something. I've re-configured my connections to the storage box and seems to be working now. Monitoring ...

@robi said in Contabo: New EU datacenter 100% green energy -- Coming 2024: @jdaviescoates You could set up an S3 gateway in front that does support path style with Minio. Thanks, but I'd rather just use providers that do support virtual host style. Very happy with Scaleway for my purposes

RIP current pricing as well, won't be long before it goes up. Lot's going to change over at Linode over the next 12 months.

@humptydumpty it does matter, I remember finding which version was best on servethehome I think. One of the models if I recall wasn’t suggested

@Thedurancode for sure - please email me at support@thedoodleproject.net and I can get you set up.

This is a Cloudron related forum. I know you posted this in the off topic section, but still I am not exactly sure what you are asking for.

@LoudLemur for what it’s worth, all iMacs pre-retina screens can be used as external monitors hooked up via HDMI. You can even use it as a dumb HDMI monitor while the machine itself is doing something entirely different, like being a file server. Probably even if it’s running Linux. The monitor trick is done in hardware.

@Synthesis6117 apps can connect to any external service, including a database. Cloudron pre-provisions a database and configures an app to use the database. This is part of our packaging. This is true for WP developer and WP managed. However, for the LAMP app, one cannot pre-configure the database since it's "user" code. You can configure the LAMP app to use any database. However, the backup/restore functionality won't work when using an external database. The backup/restore can only backup and restore what is on the Cloudron - the code in this case.
