In case you have not yet seen it, I have explained how to query the Cloudron API from Uptime Kuma in this post:
https://forum.cloudron.io/post/46795

I had seen that, thanks. But, yeah, I think perhaps that would cover @yusf use case too.

And, hi @yusf saw your name pop up in some of the cool tech co-op spaces I hang in 🙂

@nebulon Totally fair, thanks. 🙂

Any thought to my earlier suggestion before I asked about the version update? Was suggesting that perhaps TTL can be left alone as you’ve designed it currently; but that it can be updated to Cloudron’s preferred TTL during a manual DNS sync initiation by an admin. Would love to see that be possible.

@LoudLemur
Looks like it but I don’t remember if on purpose or as part of the Ubuntu Server installation 😑 - it’s quite some time ago that I installed Ubuntu Server on this machine

The API style in Cloudron you are referring to is commonly called REST API, although Cloudron does not strictly follow REST patterns. It can be used with a multitude of clients. Some are libraries to be used withing other programs and they exist for all programming languages by now I would guess. Some other clients are browsers or also commandline clients like CURL.

I think it might help you a lot to read up about REST APIs which should clarify things for you.

Just a simple example, without an access token (so using just public API), run the following on a terminal with curl installed:

curl -v https://my.<your cloudron domain>/api/v1/cloudron/status

@jdaviescoates said in Shared Authentication between Apps:

I'd still love a simple way to allow for Open Registration on my Cloudron:

https://forum.cloudron.io/post/5339

I agree that would be great also.

Now I'm hungry for a bag of Doritos.

@nebulon said in List of apps that support LDAP/Cloudron User Directory?:

For a start I have update the appstatus page to include a checkmark for apps which have LDAP enabled at https://www.cloudron.io/appstatus.html

Thanks!

@nebulon said in List of apps that support LDAP/Cloudron User Directory?:

@humptydumpty I do think it might be nice to have a filter directly in the app library listing within the dashboard. I think I will add this for the next release.

Agreed, thanks! 🙏

@girish Cost and complexity is a thing, from domain integration to simply wanting to use your existing server you pay resources for to run an additional app or two.

The assumption backups are needed is false.

Yet, if we take the time to revisit an old idea of additional VM like isolation via Nestybox, (which is a single line code change) we may have our cake and eat it too, with backups at no extra work.

Personally I don't care for any of the benefits of the packaged apps for the unpackaged ones, unless they're no effort as a side-effect of the implementation.

The only thing I can think of we might need more of is control over nginx rev proxy settings and mappings.

Hi Nebulon! 🙂

@nebulon said in Using Cloudron to setup DNS records in new DNS Provider before switching Nameservers on domain. Vanity Nameservers could also be supported if changes made.:

will not allow for adding essentially multiple DNS provider for the same domain

Just to be clear, I'm not looking to store multiple DNS credentials, if I switch it in Cloudron to Vultr from DigitalOcean, I'd assume or expect Cloudron to clear out the old credentials/API keys, so it definitely doesn't need to retain two or more at any given time for a single domain. Hopefully that clarifies that part. Definitely no need to go down the rabbit hole of refactoring, haha.

@nebulon said in Using Cloudron to setup DNS records in new DNS Provider before switching Nameservers on domain. Vanity Nameservers could also be supported if changes made.:

if there would be an option to not resolve DNS records from the Cloudron side, one could change the DNS backend, then hit re-sync DNS in the Cloudron dashboard, then wait for the new nameservers to have all records in-sync and then switch the nameservers for the domain itself.

That's basically what's being asked here... to remove the requirement to double-check the nameservers in the first place before being able to save the API keys on the domain. I understand why Cloudron does it, it's to help avoid DNS propagation issues, however at the end of the day, Cloudron works as a script to populate the DNS records in any provider we give it access to, so it should not be restricted to only doing so if the nameservers are configured correctly. That limitation that exists currently prevents admins from having Cloudron setup the DNS records in the new location first which of course is best practice before switching the nameservers at the domain level, you don't want to be doing it afterwards. 😉 I think a good compromise if Cloudron team feels it's necessary to still check for nameserver pointers, is to warn but allow a user to move past it to freely have Cloudron setup the DNS records where we provide access regardless of nameservers.

Does the above make sense? I can clarify if needed. Basically just hoping that limitation can be removed in the product as it's impeding what I'd think are some important tasks to be able to do before changing nameservers on a domain.

Holy bananas!

I would be interested to know if someone does this outside of Cloudron for their existing business/personal use. Seems like a lot of work (and probably just easier to switch out your NS provider if they are flaky). We use route53 for cloudron.io and AFAIK it has never gone down.

Cool, I'll get around to following everyone next week. I'm @shane@social.futurnumerique.com! (My site at futurnumerique.com is down because I'm moving from its Yunohost home to Cloudron.)

@necrevistonnezr Great questions! I'm still pondering this myself, but got delayed with some other projects.

I don't have an HA setup yet, but I'd assume the easiest way to achieve it may be to duplicate the server (i.e. restore Cloudron backup on a new server), then use rsync to keep them in sync on the boxdata directory for example, then use DNS for failover where the MX server address on the other server can be used with a higher weight to be last in the selection and thus only used if the first MX server isn't responding.

Just my initial two cents anyways, but haven't thought it out thoroughly yet. Will probably give it more thought once the Cloudron multi-server management feature is in-place as it may make things a little bit easier.

I will probably end up with a different solution

I teste FileRun in a LAMP app (after reading @scooke reply here) and it does exactly what I need without all the added bloat and unpolished UI of Nextcloud.

✔ It sorts pictures by date taken
✔ Has a better UI than NextCloud (personal opinion)
✔ It is a lot faster in previewing images
✔ Works with the Nextcloud desktop and Android client (or any other app that supports webdav)
✔ Can organize photos in albums and collections (I am not really interested in this, but it's a nice to have)

I hope that it will officially come to Cloudron at some point.

@necrevistonnezr excellent catch! I think I searched “email” when I should have just searched “mail”. 😇 There may be a couple others I missed.

@BrutalBirdie Sorry have been busy and thanks for documenting my steps 👍 👍

The docker part is done on the /etc/crowdsec/acquis.yml
I'm not entirely convinced my regex call works appropriately
or even that in the cloudron context this is entirely needed (I have one cloudron with & without not seeing much difference)

# Docker context source : docker container_name_regexp: - ^[a-zA-Z0-9_.-]*$ labels: type: log_type ---

added command to list all available snapshots to original post

@3246 Are you backing up /snapshot/ or the parent directory?
/snapshot/ is sufficient for a daily backup as it holds the current status of all files - versioning etc. is done by restic.
Also, how did you calculate these dirsizes?

@ianhyzy said in running many WP installs on one cloudron:

@d19dotca thanks! mind sharing any of your php tweaks? I'm curious what other people are doing here

Certainly! The values change periodically for me based on various circumstances, however here's the current values I'm using in the php.ini file for WordPress...

default_socket_timeout = 300 max_execution_time = 300 max_input_time = 60 max_input_vars = 3000 memory_limit = 256M post_max_size = 128M upload_max_filesize = 128M

The top are the values needed usually for best performance from certain page builders and important plugins in WordPress, plus I have a few sites that host videos / other large files so I keep the sizes somewhat large too and tweak as needed for each customer website.

Also, on the wp-config.php file, I also set the following property which allows the WordPress memory limit to match that of the php.ini file, rather than keeping them separate. But in some cases it may be wise to keep them separate too, it's really a case-by-case basis, I just find I often keep them the same so doing it this way means I only have to set it in one spot and removes the risk of keeping them separate unintentionally...

define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', ini_get( 'memory_limit' ) ); // sets memory limit to match php.ini

Then for the actual application itself, I currently set a 1 GB memory limit on each one.

Alright, I have set the limit now to 50.

@LoudLemur said in How To Sell Digital Goods with Cloudron:

Anyway, I hope you are all doing well @timconsidine .

👍 thank you

@robi Haha! Thank you, @robi!

@ApplegateR Have you tried https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/security-issues ? I think you request a review inside it.

I am not 100% sure why some sites end up in the unsafe list. Did your domain expire for a short time and maybe some parking page was there for a while? Also, I see that your domain comes up in first page of Google Search (https://www.reddit.com/r/jailbreak/comments/eodhqp/release_sileo_remover_and_my_repo_is_up/) and the links there are broken now. Maybe google penalizes all this, I am not sure.

@nebulon said in Increase the RAM of the demo machine:

@LoudLemur and @robi just to add here the option to run hdparm -Tt /dev/<youdisk>, which will measure a few things for disk I/O.

That requires root and for hdparm to actually be available and installed.

Hence I use:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/test1.img bs=1G count=1 oflag=dsync ; rm /tmp/test1.img

@girish said in How does Cloudron work? What does it do? etc 🙂:

@robi Would be interesting to know what systemd-detect-virt prints for nestybox

That's easy to test, just change one line in the docker config or specify it on the CLI and bring up a container using sysbox, then run the tool.

Having it upstream fontawesome would be quite an achievement 🙂 But https://github.com/mlwilkerson/fa-custom-icon-demo has a demo on adding custom icons inside a custom app.

@LoudLemur it is so easy to do it yourself 🙂
