@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

@girish Nessus is a very old security scanner: https://nessus.org/ No ideas, to be honest... that's why I thought to raise it to you.

You can always receive locally from apps.

From the docs https://docs.cloudron.io/packaging/tutorial/ : The build service app is installed on a separate Cloudron (not production Cloudron) and acts as a proxy for building docker images and also pushes them to your registry. In other words: no difference.

@saikarthik FWIW, I've used and really like the Wordpress plugin, Pressbooks, for such a task. It's handy to have the breakdown of the book handy, it has version control, you can control User access, and by installing some of the backend stuff, you can output a finished book straight to PDF or ebook. https://www.wpexplorer.com/create-books-wordpress/ is a site talking about it, but the link above goes to the .org version. WP also has to be setup for multi-site, too. Not a huge pain, but a step you can't skip.

I currently use both a self-hosted on Cloudron instance of Ghost and also Open Collective. But I'd be great if this Tendenci app was on Cloudron: https://forum.cloudron.io/post/22695 See also Galette: https://forum.cloudron.io/post/1230

@robi aw ok. interesting. both posts are interesting.

As far as I understand its related to the env variable GLIBC_TUNABLES which I don't think its used on Cloudron anywhere, but also had never heard of it before. I checked a few Cloudrons and its not present at least.

Thank you so much guys for your help

FWIW, I just upgraded from Ubuntu 18 this evening. Cloudron's documentation from going from 18 to 20 was quite helpful, re: a collectd edit that I never would have thought to make, plus the specific MySQL Server migration rules. Everything went smoothly, but without the documentation, it wouldn't have. So kudos to the team.

@fbartels Ah, man, it's been a while since I've packaged a cloudron app, of course. My bad. Yeah, then we'd need to rebuild every app, which is certainly a lot of work. What about this: we make cloudron base images multi-arch (should be easy enough) we change the way we package apps that have docker images to use multiple FROM statements, using upstream images to copy stuff to cloudron's base image on the correct architecture Not sure this is the way to go, just a thought. Does this make any sense to you guys? Edit: I might try to package something over the weekend like this just to try it out...

@fbartels thank you very much for this important point. In my answer I completely forgot to point out the potential pitfalls of already existing external apps. So @pbischoff in your requirements concept you should take a closer look at the needs of the external apps. The moment they need something specific like office printers, pictures, phone numbers .... you are lost with the built in LDAP directory server.

@jdaviescoates Yes, tried them all, and found ACF to have the most active development and ecosystem. I think they just brand themselves ACF now, hence saving myself some keystrokes
