@girish maybe it's reputation he's lacking

When you say 'source code all websites', maybe you mean WordPress and LAMP websites? If so, ignore this comment. But source code of all cloudron packages and the final built images is all public - https://hub.docker.com/u/cloudron . you don't even need server credentials or install Cloudron for that matter to see the source code of apps. For WP/Lamp, I consider the websites themselves as "data" and "configuration" and not "source code".

@eddowding the closest is the RSS feed in the announcement category https://forum.cloudron.io/category/1/announcements . You can watch that category.

Peertube seems to have a guide at https://docs.joinpeertube.org/maintain/migration which involves db based migration, so you have to try it out.

@jagan from a quick reading, this doesn't apply to Cloudron, since we don't use fpm for WordPress (we use modphp)

Yes, a username is mandatory requirement. My idea did not get through, let me try again please. On some platforms, the email and the username are automatically set to be the same. This is not ideal, although the email would be unique. However for cloudron, please consider this: On Cloudron, the system already generates a 'From Email' on its own. I wish to propose that this email or the first part of it (before @) be used as the username. Mail FROM Address [image: 1717652658894-7ef27f4c-4c24-4544-a669-4b95371552ca-image-resized.png] Anything but 'admin' would be great.

@LoudLemur are you using a VPN? I noticed it causes issues for me too while on mobile mostly. Seems to work fine on desktop.

Thanks! I fixed the grammar in the docs. Adjusted the text for backups as well.

@CBCUN you can see the https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/8153/activesync/ thread

Unless mistaken, this was already mentioned here See @girish response: we have introduced a new environment variable (just last week) in next release - https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/-/commit/daa8a60da282fc3c8bbccd4b2b1a4920c2b06812 . After the release, we have to adjust the apps to use the text in the environment variable. And then, Branding view will set that variable. So it seems, it is coming.

@humptydumpty the main pitfall is that it cannot be reached from IPv4 only networks. There are still many networks out there like cafes, public wifis etc which are IPv4 only.

Sure @timconsidine I'm planning on keeping the Kimsufi server as my main backup, but I need to reinstall the OS totally, thus losing everything. So, on the off-chance that something happens to my Cloudron during these few days while I get this done, I've used the Servarica server (which already had my 2nd Cloudron install) as my interim backup, using the Cloudron Minio app. But, I'm trying to keep the Servarica server strictly for media (thus the Nextcloud install), and as we all know, Cloudron backups, especially things like Mastodon, add up quickly, so this is a one-and-done backup to that Minio. I'll keep it for a week or so until there is a safe amount of backup on the reinstalled Kimsufi server. In the next day or two I'll reinstall to Ubuntu 22 on my current main backup, install Cloudron (since I'm not using the current CapRover for anything other than its Minio), then Minio, and resume using it as my main backup destination.

@girish Yes but many hosting providers have port 25 unblocked. And although you no longer have full local custody of your setup, at least you still have full custody of your apps and data. I don't mind creating a DO Droplet just to forward traffic to home. I just need to learn how. Information out there is lacking.

Loomio and HumHub are also possibly other contenders here (which atleast are seemed to be designed to be 'private'). Never operated a truly private forum, but I would definitely also look into some sort of network blocking/VPN to truly make it private.

Also stumbled on this one last week: https://web-check.xyz/ Selfhosted: https://github.com/Lissy93/web-check And a little explanation on how this works: https://www.helpnetsecurity.com/2024/02/26/web-check-website-open-source-intelligence/

@marcusquinn Yes, I've got the full number allowed! I often almost forget what the main email is!

@girish said in Immutable server os: There goes my weekend to investigate... I am sorry for that but to be honest I have also spent good amounts of past weekends diving into this topic. @girish said in Immutable server os: I had great hopes for CoreOS Yes, fcos is actually the successor of this, but has meanwhile gotten a bunch of new components such as the usage of ignition instead of cloud-init. I forgot to mention one other cool this about fcos. Once you have generated your ignition file you can use the coreos-installer to bake it into an iso file. I don't know if there is an easier way to generate a software appliance out there. And inside of the ignition file you can merge or even completely replace it at runtime with files it can fetch from the internet at runtime. https://major.io/p/coreos-as-pet/ is another blog that highlights some of the potentials of fcos outside of the usual Kubernetes usage.
