@ekevu123 yes, it seems self-hostable. https://github.com/netdata/netdata https://www.reddit.com/r/netdata/comments/1cjo9za/self_hosting_netdata/ I'm not sure about the technical details, but I don't believe it processes the apps logs indeed. It's more about monitoring of the system that is common for all computers. Although I noted it does check individual processes, like one of my Cloudron App was relying on Postgres and it notified me when the RAM about that particular process was too high, which helped me increase it (for that process) before running out.

I looked into this further and have seen that Postmark provides the opportunity to avoid storing the body in their logs. I think that is reasonably safe. And since I already have a business account with them, I am going to attach my private e-mail account there as well. Thank you for your assistance in this matter!

I guess first try to get the restore working and then it may make sense to think of some backup location which is not in the same physical location or at least not connected to the same device (some power malfunction could brick it all at once, or otherwise a software bug wiping disks unexpectedly)

In Ubuntu 24.04 the restart does not work with "systemctl restart sshd", but only with "systemctl restart ssh.service".

Also, https://docs.cloudron.io/backups/#file-format has commands to decrypt the filenames . I should probably add that note to the guide that @fbartels linked...

@svtx said in Video chat and conferencing options: Using Nextcloud Talk everyday without issues. Same here. There are occasional connection/hardware issues but nothing mayor or different from using zoom or Teams

Thanks for your help on this Joseph.

Thanks for reporting... Fixed in https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/-/commit/d97d82b225195f4323fe0f0af947358c49e18c63

@adhodgson no, do not use Cloudron's unbound as the resolver for AdGuard, that is just asking for trouble. unbound is mostly an internal implementation detail from Cloudron point of view. In Cloudron 8, it's role has decreased a lot. In future, we will most likely completely remove it. It's best to use some other resolver on your network.

LDAP uses a custom port and won't be compatible with Cloudflare. Cloudflare only proxies HTTP. OIDC should be compatible with Cloudflare though .

@girish yes it makes total sense, I thought there would be a way like with portainer where it just tells you ip:port but i get this is a bit more complex. I got it to work with @murgero tip and an nginx reverseproxy. Thank you both

It seems there was lingering yarn cache. Removing it cuts the size by half.

@ekevu123 said in Backup settings: which blogs installing and updating other apps, and sometimes I need that A fix for this is coming. Backup had a global lock which is being removed. As for the bigger question, there is no clear answer. Backups take time, it is supposed to be something in the background and taking less resources. Not something actively monitored. Even in AWS and DO where they have complete control of their servers, if you take a snapshot of a 100GB machine, it takes a LONG time - they suggest 1 to 3 minutes per GB . It just the way it is. (240GB is worst case 720 mins or 12 hours where they have complete control of disk and server).

@murgero said in home server not accessible from guest wifi network.. why?: works for in-app ads on phones too. That’s great to know. I’ll give it a try soon. Thanks!

@timconsidine Thanks for the tip, but I'm not confident in my own ability to maintain this kind of manual thing across a range of servers. I spent my Saturday experimenting with various monitoring solutions, and found Netdata to be exactly what I needed. I wrote a guide about it, and I hope you'll find it useful!

Well just gone through the upgrade process on a fresh instance through Hetzner to Ubuntu 24.04: Upgraded to Cloudron 8.0 and took backup to storage box. Downloaded the backup metadata file. Wiped server with ubuntu image from Hetzner and apt failed to do upgrade, moaned about missing files on the mirror. Tried to resolve but I wanted to try out an iso installation from Ubuntu directly rather than using the Hetzner images anyway so gave that a go. Installing from ISO is actually easier than I thought it would be, there was no messing around with the routes as discussed in Hetzner docs. IPV4 works out of the box, I decided to take the netplan config file supplied by Hetzner's imaging process for my server and used that on the fresh Ubuntu install to get IPV6 working. After wiping and reinstalling the new system I changed the SSH port and then ran Cloudron-setup. It installed 8.0 for me as it detected a Ubuntu 24.04 install. In the setup wizard clicked on the restore option and supplied the file. Realised then I didn't have my storage box password so had to change that in the interface. However once changed the restore happened and all my apps were back in around 15 minutes. Nice work guys, and I've always wanted to test the bear-metal restore from backup.

Vaultwarden/Bitwarden actually has a few mechanisms for that. For the second factor you will get a "recovery code" that they ask you to store in a secure location. This is a letter and numbers string that can be used to override all configured second factors. If you have lost your master password, or you're simply no longer around to give it to someone else then Vaultwarden has a feature called "emergency access" where you can designate another user to gain access to your safe after a configurable wait time (so you could still object and prevent misuse). https://bitwarden.com/help/emergency-access/ For me personally I have added my wife as my emergency contact, but since I know that she is not really a technical minded person I also have a backup yubikey at a secure location that has my master password stored as a static key and the above recovery key written down next to it.

I've tried for a while to get a good UK based VPS as I moved away from Bytemark a while ago and haven't found anything as good. I'd love to go with Mythic Beasts but they aren't competitive. I use Hetzner right now but there was doubting voices about them on Mastodon a couple of months back when they failed to stop some abuse, not sure what was exactly going on there.
