    Have you tried to setup the DNS records as suggested by the Cloudron dashboard? Mostly from your screenshot this seems like you have to add the Cloudron in question to the SPF for sending out mails and fixup the PTR pointer. Lastly it appears your IP is on a blocklist, so you should try to get yourself off that by contacting the blocklist provider. Alternately you could of course also setup an outbound mail relay as @joseph earlier suggested.

    @girish said in Completely baffled with email forwarding /aliases: @JohnBee ...I tried to look into mailcow docs as to what aliases mean but I didn't find any relevant docs. Do you have a link where we can read more? Unfortunately, Mailcow isn't very good on documentation - though as I keep a staging server on tap, I can provide screenshots, or even access should you fancy a closer look at the interface etc. [image: 07262024_6_52PM.png] PS, as much as I love Mailcow's creative approach to a turn-key mail server/service, I came to appreciate(the hard way), the inherent risks of using open source software in live environments

    @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...

    @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).

    @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!
