https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/8785/avx-support-in-your-vps-server/ has some background for this topic. It's possible to skip mongodb but so far we haven't found that it's worth the effort most CPUs of the last decade have AVX support.

Like Hetzner, Contabo also offers DDoS protection: https://contabo.com/en/ddos-protection/#what-are-the-limits-of-contabo-ddos-protection From Claude AI: Here are a few key points comparing layer 7 and layer 4 DDoS mitigation for protecting websites that stream audio/video: Layer 7 (application layer) DDoS protection can detect and mitigate more sophisticated application-layer attacks that target weaknesses in the web application code, such as HTTP floods, low and slow attacks, and exploits that abuse APIs. Layer 4 (transport layer) DDoS protection focuses on network and volumetric attacks like UDP and ICMP floods which aim to consume bandwidth and overload infrastructure. For streaming websites, a hybrid approach providing both layer 4 and 7 mitigation is recommended. Layer 4 protects against bandwidth-exhaustion attacks while layer 7 covers exploits at the application layer. Top providers known for DDoS protection services include Cloudflare, Akamai, Imperva, F5 Networks, and Radware. Specific solutions include: Cloudflare Magic Transit and Spectrum Akamai Prolexic Routed Imperva Advanced DDoS Protection F5 Silverline Radware DefensePro Features like behavioral analysis, per-client throttling, SSL decryption, and integration with CDNs and DNS services make these robust protections against network and app-layer DDoS attacks. In summary, combining layer 4 and 7 DDoS mitigation from a reputable provider gives streaming sites the best protection against volumetric bandwidth attacks and application exploits. Cloudflare, Akamai, and Imperva are leaders in the space

Yes, anyone attempting the install, even locally, is useful to grab the log and get a sense of the changes and how the installer might need to be modified. So go ahead, even if it doesn't work, it's useful data. No fear!

No, /app/data is persistent storage and would survive updates and restarts.

@Kubernetes same here, or at least on reboot, like a run once, then on cron. @girish that was the odd part, the dashboard domain had the IP set right, but all other sites didn't and needed re-syncing

Cloudron supports Nextcloud, and now Nextcloud has a meme application: https://github.com/nextcloud/memegen

Auctions are on dedicated hardware servers only. Since Hetzner does not offer dedicated servers in the USA afaik there is nothing to be auctioned on

One article was saying that Hetzner is a South African company, that they existed in a previous incarnation there and are now Xneelo... https://xneelo.co.za/dedicated-servers/

Another interesting sync tool is from Mutagen.io https://mutagen.io/documentation/synchronization They were recently acquired by Docker.

AFAIK, most VPS providers don't have this option. They are all in same partition when you get a server. Maybe one can do this on dedicated servers. But also, Cloudron has various things in OS and home partition. So, this needs some testing to actually make it work/be useful.

@girish Thanks for the suggestion. Sounds like I will need to pursue this idea on an app by app basis, rather than signing on as a Cloudron user. If I am successful, I will share the results so that others can benefit as well.

@RazielKanos I think I know what you mean, one of those "social proof" plugins for ecommerce. I never personally used them, as I'm a bit anti-noise on websites, but it sounds like you have a slightly different need. When browsing the wordpress.org options, it's handy to have this extension installed for seeing how it might perform: https://wphive.com And this for testing, too: https://plugintests.com I try to prefer wordpress.org plugins. CodeCanyon can be great, but there's some reciprocal reviewing going on there, so don't trust lost of short reviews, only those that read as if they are genuine. This looks interesting, if you did have the patience to self-code: https://codewp.ai Sorry it's not a specific answer, but maybe some ideas. Perhaps if that narrows you down to any candidates, I could have a look at them specifically, or to get a better idea for searching alternatives.

@girish and @jdaviescoates Thank you very much for all these precious explanations I understand much better and the different options you have presented to me should do the trick. Thank you for taking the time to be an educator

Great write-up thanks for sharing all those insights, this will surely help users down the line

@dylightful Feel free to add to that thread. As you might imagine Cloudron is relatively full service hence an integration would be needed with the platform which is a bit of an engineering endeavor along with all the other things @staff work on such as app updates, continuous platform improvement and support issues here on the forum and email. If you understand the platform and the app, there is no issue using it knowing they won't interfere with each other, but keep in mind the self-support required. Such has happened with Netdata as well. If you wish, write a guide and support others interested in it too.

@girish said in Why does refreshing Disk Usage take so long?: Are you using a CIFS/Storage Box ? Doing a du -Dsb takes forever on those. Yes, ah. So perhaps it's those that is taking forever anyway, and so adding little refresh buttons just for those probably wouldn't help too much. Ah well, nevermind. No biggie.

@jdaviescoates actually it should work with any cloudron apps that use the mysql addon (and no other database addons)
