@AartJansen said in Can I use ldap to authenticate a debian (or whatever linux flavour) desktop login?:

do the dockerised apps need to be kerebos aware/integrated too ?

Kind of. Either the applications need to support it directly or you chain it to something else. There is native support for saml already for quite a while, but also openid can be used nowadays.

If you want to Kerberos compatibility I would rather start there, than trying to extend the (afaik intentionally simple) ldap server of Cloudron. Possible solutions could be https://www.freeipa.org/ or https://www.univention.com.

Had to look this up - IPB means Invision Power Board https://invisioncommunity.com/

@jdaviescoates said in more posts about cloudron:

2 x 512 GB SSD Drives

I believe configured by default as RAID, so for those skim reading, be aware that it is 512Gb available for use, but with some data protection.

And yes, much better value than the standard offerings.

@girish o. sorry.

@girish said in Anyone else see many connections denied due to "Mail from domain <domain> is not allowed from your host" repeatedly from spammy IPs?:

@necrevistonnezr Ah, sorry! I misread. In my case, the sender is just spamming the hell out of me for video content. Sender is not trying to spoof. I guess you have to block by IP in the network firewall.

Yeah, well, those IPs are never the same (see above) and even ranges are difficult to ascertain. Maybe an easy way to subscribe to a blocklist would help? 🙂 (as suggested in my old topic linked above…)

@jdaviescoates said in Cheap Good and Fast Block Storage Options:

What do you actually want to do?

Thanks for asking! For Cloudron backups, that is no problem. What I want is storage for app data, for example, the images in a gallery application, or the videos in a video application. From what I understand, these have to go to a block/object storage with the same VPS, as Girish explained here:
https://forum.cloudron.io/post/71151

Basically, if I understand correctly, with Cloudron, your VPS provider has to also offer block/object storage too, if you want to backup your application data on a different server. For example, Hetzner storage boxes would only be useful for app data storage if you are running your Cloudron on Hetner, too.

@ruihildt Great take on it.

As an aside: There's other ways to contribute towards open-source, than with code or money.

Just using it and reporting issues and feature suggestions is also free labour, that closed-source projects would have to pay for, same for security-testing.

The way I see it is, I pay for things with my time, attention, faith, and opportunity-cost, and risk-taking. If I was making money from something, then I also pay with money.

There's many ways to be a free user and benefit a project, this whole community is also a great example of that symbiotic relationship.

@girish thanks. i plan to do more talks about cloudron, mainly tutorials. my next tutorial i think is gonna be how to use cloudron as sso for cloudflare access authentication. have'nt decided indefinitely yet. its either gonna be that, or i might start simple in user configuration and stuf like that.

@necrevistonnezr Nice, I didn't even notice that. I'm gonna correct my post in case someone sees it in search and doesn't bother to read the thread, if that's okay. Thanks 😄 .

Thanks for the input y'all. I did some further testing and found out something strange. When I change the CPU resources for each app, and it doesn't matter if I increase or decrease the resources and then checking the disk speed again it went up. Also wenn I stress test my website (did that with the siege command line tool) the disk speeds went up. Seems like Contabo does allocate resources when there is stress on the system and decrease resources when it's idling? So I could reach speeds of around 300 MB/s to 1 GB/s on SDA3. Same with SDA2.

I think I'll ignore the numbers for now as I don't feel there are real world problems on the VPS. And I guess if I really need to upscale performance for whatever reason I might switch to Hetzner or something else.

To answer the original question: I think root user is the first/admin user that you signed up with Wasabi. If you create users after that, they are called sub-users. Depending on your setup, you have to create a key for the root user or sub user. I guess you can just create the key for root user if you are not using sub-users. See https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/creating-a-user-account-and-access-key

We can start packaging GUI apps too!

@samir thanks for sharing! Wish I could actually speak French!

@jdaviescoates I send nowhere near that limit. I use it for business and personal email accounts because of the deliverability issue. The monthly cost is trivial compared to the time wasted trying to troubleshoot issues.

@crazybrad thanks, but I think I'm going to take a leaf out of @luckow's book and try self-hosting FreePBX on a cheap dedicated VPS and see how I get on 🙂

girish sorted it remotely. there was some corruption. needed to restore from backup. Glad to have the support subscription.

@girish yep will give it a try. What about the networking graphs, or even the stacked ones? Is that a realistic feature to ask for? 🙏

@crazybrad said in Advice on Cloudron Mail Server Config and Sizing:

@BrutalBirdie Great point. In fact I am wondering whether outgoing SMTP can be disabled and a transactional email service such as Postmark be configured for outgoing emails. This way the IP address does not get a bad reputation (or any reputation). Is this possible with Cloudron mail?

yes
