I've tried traccar, and findmydevice both are a pain to get going, requiring permissions (samsungs at least) challenge and revoke default. They also drain the battery significantly more than the google maps alternative.

yes @james I have also thought of using that. but manually running it on all mailboxes sounds like a pain I don't want to go through. I guess the current way I envision it is writing a script for imapsync that uses the api of cloudron to get all mailboxes and impersonates the users of the mailboxes to auto run imapsync on them. but then again maybe a block of the port is the way to go, so I don't have to write that script. the whole backup and recover process should be done quite quickly anyways. I am wondering though if this is not something others have gone through as well?

I would like to change some of these already. I want to ask which apps they might like to package in the future, and also what we could do to encourage more packagers to try.

It seems available only on their development branch, installable using go https://plakar.io/posts/2025-06-27/it-doesnt-make-sense-to-wrap-modern-data-in-a-1979-format-introducing-.ptar/ $ go install github.com/PlakarKorp/plakar@v1.0.3-devel.c7a66f1 I believe the requirement is mainly Go version 1.23.3 (via https://www.plakar.io/docs/main/quickstart/)

@necrevistonnezr this looks slick, going to look in to when I get a sec

@Robin do you maybe still have the apptask logs from where it hang? It should give us some indication why the DNS record check didn't succeed during that time. It should show which nameserver returned which IP for the records.

On Cloudron, the only way to share directories is using Volumes . Is it possible to reorg your setup to use Volumes ? You might also have to use https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/#data-directory

@cpa If you blacklist heavily, that means you cannot use the mail server anymore, correct? As servers delivering incoming mail cannot connect anymore….

Thank you for sharing your perspective – I’ll look into this further.

Well, I've just configured SMTP2Go in my Cloudron. I've got 2 domains managed by my Cloudron. So far test emails seem to have worked, so hoping it'll work going forward. Thank you everyone for your input!

Well that is interesting.. is should be able to be a web-app since it's written in JS/CSS & Vue. It's being packaged with Electron to be a binary, but I see no reason it can't be an app or even cloud connected app-as-a-service. UPDATE: This issue on their Github answers that question.

@ccfu said in seeking server set up advice: intuitive I like that, thank you @ccfu said in seeking server set up advice: Hetzner I just gave them a serious look and impressed with what I seen, will be looking again tomorrow, thanks again

So has anyone been running cockpit on Cloudron? If so, what has your experience been like?

@robi I've been using Servarica since 2020 and have no complaints. I have two of those older Polar Bear servers, and in fact a newer "Black Friday 2024 - UniFied - UniFied FAT" on which I'm running a BTCPayServer due to having 8GB of ram.

There are a few no-code changes; drop-in replacements for Redis: KeyDB - https://github.com/Snapchat/KeyDB DragonFly - https://github.com/dragonflydb/dragonfly Another capable option is: Hazelcast - https://github.com/hazelcast/hazelcast My question is what would suit Multi-Cloudron 9+ needs down the line where things get more interesting?

Dedicated servers from OVH are well priced too, worth it in my opinion but it likely depends greatly by region. I’m in Canada and there’s only so many local options, with OVH servers being the cheapest by far but still very powerful. I’d only recommend OVH if you’re a pretty decent sysadmin though because their support is not the quickest.
