    @savity you have to reboot the server using your VPS control panel or "reboot" via SSH. Do not use the reboot button in Cloudron dashboard, it doesn't work. We will make a new release most likely end of this month (6.4) where it will get fixed.

    @debossnow Do I have to install a particular ADMIN PosgreSQL tool in my Cloudron application to see & administer this Mastadon database? You can use the Weberminal to get shell like access. On the top there will be button for Database access. And to see all my files & their paths in a UI do I need to install a separate directory or file browser in my Cloudron application? Like the Web Terminal you can use the File Manager to see your files. The path in the File Manager is always /app/data/.

    @fbartels said in Backup Preference: Snapshot vs S3?: Hi @jordanurbs, the viability of snapshots for backup has for example been discussed in https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/4161/disc-snapshots?_=1628139201934. Yes, and to quote what @nebulon pointed out there: @nebulon said in Disc snapshots: Disk snapshots or VPS snapshots don't work well with Cloudron, since backups are per-app and not per-server on Cloudron. This is to be able to rollback/restore individual apps without interfering with the system or other apps running on it. Still for a secondary fallback backup solution this can still be recommended. That's what I do. I do Cloudron backups to a Hetzner Storage Box, plus pay Hetzner for their automated backups, plus occasionally do a snapshot too. Although really I ought to backup to another provider too, to avoid the potential issues @girish once had with DO. I'll probably choose another eco VPS provider to do that at some point https://ud.coop/ecovps

    @qimmiq Just quickly reading the upstream docs at https://www.namecheap.com/support/api/methods/domains-dns/get-hosts/ and also the code, it looks like maybe the issue is that the domain is completely empty in namecheap? Can you add a DNS entry in namecheap (any dummy entry is fine) and try if it works after that? If it works, then I think we have to fix our code.

    nginx configs became corrupt. Once we got nginx up, it uninstalled. I am putting notes on why nginx configs were corrupt at https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/5457/site-is-not-reachable

    @mdreira probably a long term solution to embed images is to also embed it inline in the html. You can use a tool like https://base64.guru/converter/encode/image/png

    @shlomi I assume you mean the web server is installed on another server (and not on the same one as Cloudron). If that's the case, then it's fine. Otherwise, we don't support running additional applications on the same server as Cloudron. (why is cloudron not using DNS-level validation for SSL so we will not need to open posts if we do not want/need. ) This is the case already. You have to use one of the programmatic DNS providers (and not manual or wildcard). If you do this, you don't need to open port 80. Please see https://docs.cloudron.io/certificates/#port-80-requirement

    @michaelf I put some notes on how to read the logs at https://docs.cloudron.io/backups/#cleanup-backups and also replied to your support ticket. Do you see any backups in linode object storage that are not listed in the logs? Otherwise, the logs do look fine to me.

    @humptydumpty That's right. No way to get wildcard certs with wildcard DNS. To get a wildcard certificate, one needs to be able to program/automate the DNS. Let's Encrypt (acme) protocol requires one to programmatically setup TXT entries as part of getting the certificate. With a wildcard DNS, we have to now way to automatically setup those entries. The protocol for normal certificates has a "http" based flow which allows it to work with a single wildcard entry.
