I appreciate your responses and apologize for my ignorance, I indeed mistook the command output for the command itself and was trying to enter wrong lines!
Now everything works and my email has been changed successfully, thank you very much!

The package with OpenID integration for Cloudron SSO is released. However this currently only works with new app instances.

I needed to comment out a number of lines in the site_settings.yml file before Discourse would finish starting up.

Specifically, I commented out the following:

users.min_username_length: min line and max line users.max_username_length: min and max basic.categories_topics: min and max

After doing this, everything appears to be running smoothly!

oh neat !! I'll wait, this is nothing urgent, just curious to see what forums/activitypub could do in the current reddit mess 🙂

I guess installing the ActivityPub plugin in the cloudron context will face similar issue than this here @murgero

Many thanks for the feedback!

@girish thanks, I guess.

But really it was the the " long standing plugin installation issue" I was actually wondering about not 2.8.14 (despite that being the topic of this thread).

Although now of course I'm also very interested in getting my hand on 3.0! 😄

@nebulon thanks! I'm not getting my hopes up too far, but hopefully this will somehow also resolve all the issues that loads of the official plugins have when trying to install them on Cloudron...

This happens every time I rebake posts too

sudo -E -u cloudron bundle exec rake posts:rebake

@jdaviescoates said in Plugin folders need ownership change after installation:

I'm very bemused by this.

The first time I installed a plugin (the Akismet plugin) I didn't have to change permissions on the /app/code/plugins/discourse-akismet/ folder from root to cloudron

But every other plugin I've installed after that has required me to open the File Manager and change the ownership from root to cloudron.

Why?

Because the first time, when I installed the Akismet plugin, I restarted the app before looking at the File Manager, and seemingly restarting the app fixes the permissions.

I deleted the chat-integration plugin and reinstalled the checklist plugin and now I am able to see /admin/plugins again.

Seems the proposed method is indeed to just delete the directory:

@girish said in How to deinstall plugins:

I think just deleting the plugin directory inside /app/data/plugins and restarting the app will do it.

@staff that info should be added to the docs 🙂

But, also, does removing the directory actually make Cloudron then edit the app.yml file to remove references to the plugin?

Because that is what is supposed to happen as per:

https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-completely-uninstall-remove-a-plugin/55034/18?u=jdaviescoates

This issue has not been solved.

The issue appears to be Cloudron specific and so clearly @Staff need to do something to make Discourse plugins install/ work as expected.

If I can't install the discourse-calendar on my Cloudron Discourse app then the Cloudron Discourse app is completely useless to me 😞

See e.g. https://meta.discourse.org/t/migration-failed-on-update-calendar-plugin-to-last-commit/239437/6

And https://forum.cloudron.io/post/55230

Thanks @girish ! It worked. The changes took effect when I ran the job manually.

@LoudLemur Right, it will be like so:

bundle exec rake plugin:install_gems['discourse-calendar']

New update was 1.17.3-1 and worked perfectly. Thx !
