@marcusquinn Thank's Marcus, I'll follow your advice to check the reputation BEFORE, and if reputation is poor, just delete and purchase new one.

Should be interesting that ISP's do themself this control and tell BEFORE the IP reputation.

This is covered to some extent in this video presentation by @girish

https://videos.cloudron.io/videos/watch/206fc4b7-9641-4453-8be0-67450f2574b1

Here are the relevant parts of my notes on that:

@jdaviescoates said in How does Cloudron work? What does it do? etc 🙂:

== App Lifecycle ==

Install
-- Configure DNS
-- Downloads docker image and manifest file from the Cloudron app store
-- Sets up addons
-- Logrotate, Collect (stats about the app, how much CPU, memory it using etc), Firewall
-- Runs the docker container
--- Dynamic configuration (giving the app db credentials, SMTP credentials to send email, e.g. for WordPress it creates the wp-config.php file with all the relevant credentials)
-- Gets SSL certificates from LetsEncrypt (and set-up reverse proxy, i.e. when blog.domain.com is visited forward to this container)

Updates
-- Read only and stateless app containers (all apps are read only - apps cannot write to their file system, if they could then users could add all sorts of random files and it wouldn't be possible to update smoothly, the code cannot be modified. This means when there is an update we can just throw away the old container and get in the new container. So where does the app write stuff it needs to? We let the app write in 3 locations 1) /tmp for temporary files 2) /run which contains runtime files which an app needs to communication across various processes, 3) app/data/ where the app will put images, files uploaded etc - everything in app data is part of the backup, /tmp and /run is not backed up)
-- Rolling updates
-- Signed releases
-- Selenium based tests (test that everything actually still works)

@wexlerj I was mistaken. The WP package still doesn't have the multi-domain flag, I will push it out later today and leave a note here.

@girish in my case it's even easier because I my router (fritzbox) has a setting that bypasses NAT completely and my machine (only one) is exposed in the internet.

tldr; I don't have any problem with the way it is; everything is working fine for me. This is just a feature request for the future. Not a necessity, but a nice to have.

@ryan thanks! Glad you like it!

@marcusquinn Totally agree! The only missing big feature is ability to save password for web logins...

@fbartels anything on K8s is a microservice, hence it works without it too.

@marcusquinn said in Consider renaming Cloudron Tiers:

I don't know that I'd remove Cloudron features for that

+1

@humptydumpty Mostly agreed. The changes suggested are just renaming what's already there.

"Help Offered or Wanted" I think should be a top-level section. I think it was, so not sure why that changed. I also think "Worked Offered or Wanted" would be more appropriate, as that was the hoped intention of that section. I know Girish said he doesn't want it to become a jobs board - but I kinda see that as inevitable as there's so many skills needed online nowadays that we can't all know or do everything but often can network those skills and needs on our travels.

I think it you're looking at self-hosting apps, whether for home or business, you're already very technically competent, so I can't see it ever being SaaS level easy, but maybe as time goes by it will, and certainly a good community of contributors is essential to that.

It's hard to know usage and user-needs without the passage of time and watching what happens, so I'm sure that's being studied and learned from as we go. I can only suggest as it's not my product, but then the best products are usually ones that customers feel an affinity close to ownership.

Growth is always a blessing and a challenge, so just hoping my suggestions can make it more scaleable without getting unhealthy for time-needs, and please most of the people most of the time.

Thanks for the heads up. We don't really use any of these tools but something to keep in mind. We do use ipset for the firewall block list, but it seems to work fine with Ubuntu 20 though.

@subven said in Recommendations for automatically Shared Calendar:

Does SOGO automatically displays shared calenders? If so you could do the same there.

SOGO definitly do that

@girish Thanks,

Love to see your email coming!

Hey guys, still alive over here. 😂 Busier than usual this time of year, but happy to help out if you guys need anything. I don't have time to read the whole thread but if anyone has any questions or needs the latest OpenVPN Client (Beta), let me know and I'll package something up for somebody with instructions for the hot fix using the semi-official hot fix tool.

I haven't posted in here in awhile because I need to update my hot fix for 6.0 and until I do that, it has to run on v5.6.3 so I've just been waiting to find time to update the hot fix. Though ideally @girish and I will make have a solid game plan as to how he wants the VPN Client integrated in Cloudron whether as an app itself or an app setting a file chooser to pick a .ovpn file to "connect" an app to (admittedly I think this gives users the most conveyance of the feature - it's up to @girish and @nebulon on that decision, but I'll go in either direction they want).

We love NodeBB 🙂 The only real issue I have with this forum is managing spam accounts. This is despite reluctantly enable captcha. Would be great if there is some auto delete account feature if a user has never posted anything or behaves like a bot. I should probably report this to @julian in their forum. https://forum.cloudron.io/users is quite a mess because we have real humans signing up and just creating crap content non-stop.

@girish I am referring to any that don't need to be written to disk.

You can use the lines for what you need in memory.

@jodumont I cloned your repo, and spliced in some bits from the linuxserver Dockerfile with the net result that I could get Sonarr v3 (the beta version) to run on my cloudron. My code is here, if you want to review or play with.

@girish Yeah, we were back up about 2:30pm UK time today.
