    @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.

    @jmatres given it's not been updated for 3-4 years, presumably it was removed due to lack of maintenance

    I would like to change some of these already. I want to ask which apps they might like to package in the future, and also what we could do to encourage more packagers to try.

    It seems available only on their development branch, installable using go https://plakar.io/posts/2025-06-27/it-doesnt-make-sense-to-wrap-modern-data-in-a-1979-format-introducing-.ptar/ $ go install github.com/PlakarKorp/plakar@v1.0.3-devel.c7a66f1 I believe the requirement is mainly Go version 1.23.3 (via https://www.plakar.io/docs/main/quickstart/)

    On Cloudron, the only way to share directories is using Volumes . Is it possible to reorg your setup to use Volumes ? You might also have to use https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/#data-directory

    Deploying Anubis (AI Crawler Filtering) on a Cloudron Server

    You could technically place Anubis on your existing VPS as a reverse proxy in front of Cloudron, but you'd need to ensure that the proxy passes headers and SSL correctly to avoid breaking Cloudron services. Have you tested if Cloudron’s built-in reverse proxy supports custom middleware or chaining with another proxy? If not, isolating Anubis to only specific subdomains via your external Nginx setup may be the safer route.

    @cpa If you blacklist heavily, that means you cannot use the mail server anymore, correct? As servers delivering incoming mail cannot connect anymore….

    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.
