    @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.

    @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 🙂

    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.

  • WordPress Dev or LAMP? Externally connect to database

    @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.

    @jordanurbs I can't really help other than spreading the word, but I LOVE this!

    I remember seeing a similar proprietary tools years ago and I've been wanting an open source alternative ever since!

    I really hope this gets picked up by someone! Thanks for sharing! 🙏

    @luckow said in FOSDEM 2023 4 & 5 February 2023:

    If anyone is nearby (Brussels), they should visit the openHAB booth and find out about the new app in the Cloudron App Store (sorry - I don't have a booth number at the moment).

    I am one of the hosts at the booth. We can always talk about other topics as well 😉

    https://www.cloudron.io/store/org.openhab.cloudronapp.html

    https://fosdem.org/2023/news/2022-12-08-accepted-stands-fosdem-2023/

    Since the event is near Brussels, there might be quite a few Odoo supporters there. Support for Odoo and Flectra on Cloudron seems to have floundered. It never quite made it to the supported applications, but perhaps there might be some there who would find it useful...

    Not exactly what looking for, but this is a pretty cool little project run by a friend of mine:

    See also mapping stuff being done by this great co-op

    That is indeed very cool. Good project.

    @timconsidine have you not visited their website?

    Networking is no different as they're still docker containers, now running the sysbox-runc runtime.

    All your questions and more are answered there 😏

    Just terminology, not winning and losing in the sense you think. ICANN refers to the registrar you are transferring away from as the losing registrar and the other as the gaining registrar.
