    @humptydumpty Let me suggest a great book to read: Co-Intelligence, by Ethan Mollick. I have read 70% of the book and am coming to the same opinion as the author: "invite AI to your work table all the time". Whether its writing an article, marketing study, presentation or report, it can help create the first draft (edit and polish it yourself). It can generate example code (fix, check and correct it yourself). I find AI helps when you are staring at a blank screen wondering where to start. It can generate many ideas, but it is best when you evaluate and refine them. I also found the author presented some great examples of using "prompt engineering" and "personas" to get better results. But there are also subtle reminders in the book about training bias, how AI tries to generate answers that "please us humans", and its inherent limitations and why the same prompt will generate inconsistent responses. Like any tool, it needs to be wielded by a trained craftsman. It can help you get work done faster, but it can also help you get to the wrong answer very quickly.

    @humptydumpty I have an Android phone and I had to convert / transcode videos to get them to play in Firefox when hosted in Immich. I think Chromium browsers worked without issue - I can't remember the details. I don't have time to manually convert every video file I've taken though, so I ended up uninstalling Immich.

    @dsp76 thanks, will adjust the code accordingly. https://docs.ionos.com/cloud/managed-services/s3-object-storage/endpoints says it is a "contract owned" endpoint and it's the future

    I think the best way is just campaigning for more hosts to make it a VPS imaging option. Tech is all about getting a name out there alongside every other related name. Making it a one-click option to try, in the very place target-audience are looking at the most will capture a lot more curiosity, and those users sticking with it will become brand champions to help their friends do the same.

    Just tried out Caddy today! It is extremely easy!!! I deployed Flowise with only two lines of caddyfile code. flowise.riverhill.ai { # Use Cloudflare SSL certificates tls /etc/caddy/certs/cert.pem /etc/caddy/certs/key.pem # Reverse proxy to Flowise reverse_proxy localhost:3000 } This really opened a whole new world for me! I also tried Traefik, but I had to ask ChatGPT to add labels for me. I don't really understand how those lables work... This is a great tutorial. Worth checking out.

    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...
