    @ei8fdb I work at Cowchain.io, where we're focused on developing Web3 solutions. I think your idea for a survey is really interesting—it would be great to see what kind of users are using Cloudron and their different backgrounds. It’s always a challenge for those of us in tech to break free from the big tools, but getting a better understanding of user motivations could be a key part of the conversation. Here's a link to our company if you're curious: Cowchain.io.

    Well, I've just configured SMTP2Go in my Cloudron. I've got 2 domains managed by my Cloudron. So far test emails seem to have worked, so hoping it'll work going forward. Thank you everyone for your input!

    Well that is interesting.. is should be able to be a web-app since it's written in JS/CSS & Vue. It's being packaged with Electron to be a binary, but I see no reason it can't be an app or even cloud connected app-as-a-service. UPDATE: This issue on their Github answers that question.

    @robi I've been using Servarica since 2020 and have no complaints. I have two of those older Polar Bear servers, and in fact a newer "Black Friday 2024 - UniFied - UniFied FAT" on which I'm running a BTCPayServer due to having 8GB of ram.

    There are a few no-code changes; drop-in replacements for Redis: KeyDB - https://github.com/Snapchat/KeyDB DragonFly - https://github.com/dragonflydb/dragonfly Another capable option is: Hazelcast - https://github.com/hazelcast/hazelcast My question is what would suit Multi-Cloudron 9+ needs down the line where things get more interesting?

    Dedicated servers from OVH are well priced too, worth it in my opinion but it likely depends greatly by region. I’m in Canada and there’s only so many local options, with OVH servers being the cheapest by far but still very powerful. I’d only recommend OVH if you’re a pretty decent sysadmin though because their support is not the quickest.

    To bring up this issue again: With Keycloak there is now another app that realistically doesn't need to be seen by the everyday user - but they still need access to it if login e.g. to a reverse proxied app, etc. is done through it. So it would be beneficial to have the ability to hide apps either by group or at least "non admin users".

    Surprised to find this here! I've been developing apps for this since 2019. Yesterday, I finally made a Cloudron package for the Armadietto server https://github.com/rosano/armadietto-cloudron

    Besides having a dedicated extra service which reacts, I guess this can also be achieved via sieve filters. However to make this useful probably some better sieve script editor/UI is required. I think that part is still much lacking in any of the clients we have packaged so far and Thunderbird's sieve script support is even more ancient as far as I can tell.

    @BrutalBirdie I cant see that ANY German / and or European authority can justify to buy Microsoft products anymore. Microsoft has told authorities, ministries, etc. that their M365 instances are "sovereign" and that something like this CANNOT happen. And now it did. Since authorities are still bound by the "No Spy" Directive of the Federal Ministry of the Interior (https://vergabeblog.de/2016-05-17/der-no-spy-erlass-und-die-folgen-fuer-die-beschaffung-zum-vortrag-im-rahmen-des-1-vergabetags-2016-vom-28-april-2016/), Microsoft *should have a major problem. But since we're in crazy times, probably nothing will happen.

    @necrevistonnezr Yeah, seen some not-good reading on demographic targeting by those capturing system admin permissions for cultural preference/detriment/targeting objectives. Doesn't matter what these company leaders and politicians say or do, we all know the power admin permissions can give for the nefarious, and the power that vast amounts of personal data can give for tracking and algo tuning for mind-bending targets.

    @andreasb you can check the sizes of docker images here - https://hub.docker.com/u/cloudron . But looks like it lists only the compressed size. Size of docker images is not documented anywhere . The 6GB includes many layers and the layers are "shared" across apps (the way docker works). We also hvae images on quay - https://quay.io/organization/cloudron . But I think this requires login, despite images being public . These sizes differ from dockerhub [image: 1747727630514-d133353a-28be-41af-87eb-f9806443b9b9-image-resized.png] [image: 1747727643538-435fe29e-0a7f-4135-9c28-7e1481c34c6f-image-resized.png]
