  • Cloudflare + PTR (rDNS) Settings Compatibly

    @JLX89 said in Cloudflare + PTR (rDNS) Settings Compatibly: Does anyone know if there is a way around this and enable proxying on example.tld with the mail server at the same location? AFAIK, this is not possible since Cloudflare does not support proxying mail. We are using Vultr for the VPS, so rDNS needs to be setup to reflect the server host (EX: example.tld), if pushing the mail server to mail.example.tld, the rDNS would need to be updated to that. Correct. You have to set the rDNS to the name of the mail server in Vultr.

    @niko was there any error restarting cloudron-firewall service or such? This should still work as expected, so maybe you hit a bug somewhere? Also could you share your ports.json config here so we can try to reproduce this? If you don't want to expose your port settings here, you can also send them to support@cloudron.io

    @qwinter said in Having a static website side by side with cloudron vs inside cloudron?: What are the downsides of using surfer compared to say the same server without cloudron using nginx or apache My instinct is to rephrase : what are the UPSIDES of using Surfer .... But to answer the question, downside of Surfer is it does one thing serve files. Having a server with full range of facilities opens up possibilities (which you may not actually need/want) but significantly also carries management and maintenance. If 'set and forget' is what you prefer, then Cloudron and Surfer/LAMP is much better than having a traditional self-managed server. And if the question was LAMP on Cloudron vs traditional server, then again the LAMP will almost all of what you would normally do on a normal server without the maintenance headache.

    The license was moved, sending an email to support@cloudron.io for this was the correct suggestion ( thanks @robi )

    @jdaviescoates Add Hostinger to the list too. I signed up for a basic web hosting plan with them. I created a secondary user account in their admin panel for my developer so he could have access and it didn't work. I contacted support and it took them weeks to get it sorted. Meanwhile, I ended up sharing my main account credentials. I was asked identical questions by different staff (under the same ticket) and I was tossed around like a beach ball in a techno festival. I had better experiences with EIG owned hosts and those guys absolutely s***.

    @JOduMonT Hetzner storage box can already be mounted as Samba/CIFS on Cloudron . See also https://docs.cloudron.io/backups/#cifs https://www.infomaniak.com/en/swiss-backup supports S3, so you can add it as S3 compatible.

    @nebulon Hi! Yea, everything is working great when hitting the server from outside my network. Your hosts file suggestion is a good one and is something I've done before. I'll dig into that. I seem to remember coming across a bit more of a graceful solution that handles internal/external requests. Thanks for jogging my memory!

    @scooke Hi, sorry for the delay. Yeah, @girish was able to solve the problem, which was not a technical one, as usually is the case with these things, heh. The email she uses is an alias, and not <username>@<mydomain>, and she hadn't used it in a while. We're both pretty sure she used to be able to log in with either username only (no '@domain'), or with her aliased email <alias>@<mydomain>, but it seems we're both wrong on this. So I tried to log into her email with <username>@<mydomain> and, lo and behold, it worked. She doesn't use this email at all, so I'm talking to her and seeing if we change her username, since there's only a few apps and email will be the most important one from now on. Thanks everyone for the help!

    @girish No I've not patched manually, I have assumed sorry I assumed the latest update was with the CNAME/A-record fix was live. The thing was that my home server has been offline for a while and when I started it up it updated to from v7.0.4 to v7.1.3 then v7.1.3 to v7.1.4. After that the DNS propagation didnt work any longer, as it had done before.

    @girish This makes a ton of sense, although I'm not quite sure if I'm doing it right. Under what you linked to, the section should be under the Resources tab, although I think it's moved to the Storage tab (no problems with that, I just wanted to make sure I'm handling it correctly). [image: 1649451396640-2dfb1d41-c351-4f45-8352-99a9505b43d2-image-resized.png] [image: 1649451491541-99f01fc2-bf27-42bb-8de1-dc11eaff4e2b-image-resized.png] The part that's a little confusing is how 'App Data' and Volumes tie together in storage (now it seems this may be resolved as you said, since your working on Volume updating at some point in the future). Anyways, App Data says to mount an external EXT4 disk, which I assume is done with the 'Mounts' interface right below it. However, the mount says that you are mounting 'Volumes'. The documentation says 'App Data' is backed up. However, the documentation also says that 'Volumes' are not backed up. So that does leave me a little perplexed as to whether the data will be backed up or not. I think according to your comment, that it will be backed up (because you did say it would no matter where it is on the server). But I just thought I'd check In any case, thanks for your help, and hope you have an awesome rest of your week.

    @humptydumpty thanks for the hint. I have update the blog post accordingly. Regarding the Ubuntu installation, you can already set the server name to the intended dashboard domain and for the username, just use ubuntu or anything besides cloudron-* or yellowtent, to avoid conflict and confusion later.

    @Mastadamus From the earlier screenshot you posted, the issue seems to be "Could not establish chain of trust". So, I would investigate that angle (which is DNSSEC related)

    @LoudLemur AFAIK, you need a new premium license for each server you want to run more than two apps on. The "premium" isn't for the "account" on Cloudron.io, it's for that specific server/vps. I have no idea how to transfer the premium license from one Cloudron to another but I'm sure it's possible. The Cloudron team is working on multi-host but I haven't read anything on how that would work.

    Note to self: Use an external drive that has twice the disk space needed by the apps as a temporary mount point to restore to! Because it will need to download a copy of the whole backup, then unpack and finally bin the download. D'oh! Step 1: Find a disk with sufficient space to restore to (apps space x 2) Step 2: Mount the disk and symlink to the original location in the backup file Step 3: Restore and then reset the storage location (or point it to where ever your new mount point is). Got it all working now. Perhaps it's time to invest in a bigger SSD for my home server
