    Never heard about this. Besides, I don't think adding Google Analytics is something that would be welcomed by the Mastodon community.

    @mhgcic said in Cloudron + Mastodon + Akamai s3:

    We added this solution already and did not work.

    S3_ENABLED=true
    S3_BUCKET=bucket-name
    AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<key_id>
    AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<secret_key>
    S3_REGION=<region>
    S3_PROTOCOL=https
    S3_HOSTNAME=<hostname>

    You seem to be missing the S3_ENDPOINT

    @dsnradio We do that to prevent source code from being changed either intentionally (user) or malicously (hacker). For the former case, it's to make sure apps can be updated reliably. For the latter, it's for security.

    If you want to modify an app , you can build the package yourself - https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/mastodon-app/ and do whatever changes. Of course, you have to take care of updates as well for the custom installation.

    @nichu42 good link...

    I had a look at https://codeberg.org/Fedimins/mastodon-maintenance-tasks . I couldn't run the script directly because there's a bunch of hardcoded paths in it. Found some commands that maybe we can incorporate. Many of the commands are already in our cleanup script.

    tootctl accounts cull --concurrency xx - removes remote accounts that no longer exist tootctl accounts prune - remove accounts that have never interacted locally tootctl domains purge <domain> - https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/tootctl/#domains-purge run_tootctl statuses remove --days=xx - https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/tootctl/#statuses-remove tootctl media remove --days <days> --concurrency <concurrency> - https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/tootctl/#media-remove

    non-answer: we recently got cloudron.social and intend to move there. I haven't heard to scaling issues. But in any case, you are able to move things in and out of Cloudron Don't think there is anything that is as mature as Mastodon. Some alternatives: https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial , https://akkoma.dev/AkkomaGang/akkoma , https://github.com/jointakahe/takahe , https://pleroma.social/

    @DeBossNow
    The path mentioned by @girish is like he said:

    @girish said in Can not locate Mastodon app core folders:

    in a container and thus each app's filesystem is independent and separate

    So your statement:

    @DeBossNow said in Can not locate Mastodon app core folders:

    I have sftp access to the root of my entire website linux volume, which contains all of the folders of dependencies. I see the Cloudron installation and its dependencies. The entire file structure of my website server is open to me. There is no other volume adjacent to this Linode volume. Nothing can exist outside of this root in my server volume.

    Is still factually wrong, since you seem not to know or understand that each container has their own filesystem in their isolated container environment.
    So even if you have root access to your server, you will not find /app/code in the servers filesystem.
    Since there are isolated and it's inside the container and read-only.

    And yes you can still access each container like he even explained to you how you can access the filesystem:

    @girish said in Can not locate Mastodon app core folders:

    To navigate the filesystem of the app, use the web terminal. Usually, the package keeps the code in /app/code by convention. Note that code is readonly in Cloudron, you cannot change it.

    What do you wish to achieve here?
    There is a big documentation for Cloudron: https://docs.cloudron.io/ which explains almost everything.
    Adding to that the Forum has many resources which already answer almost any of your questions.

    And yet it seems to me, you simple choose to ignore all the provided resources for self education and demand support on a level which is unreasonable for a forum request.

    Personal note:

    The community behind Cloudron and FOSS in general is very forgiving when you show the effort, and when you reach out for help, they almost always respond. (not always in the nicest way, since they maybe seen this question for 50x time, but they still respond to help out.)

    So I recommend to you, show some more effort or at least write your request in a more descriptive way.

    What is it that you are trying to achieve What did you do to get to your current state Provide a step by step level so people can understand what you do - maybe use a service like https://asciinema.org/

    Since I preached about resources and self education - here is some material:

    About the Cloudron Filesystem:
    https://docs.cloudron.io/storage/

    About the Mastodon app and federation:
    https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/mastodon/

    The Mastodon Cloudron Forum category:

    @DeBossNow I think maybe something is getting suck in the setup. Can you check /home/yellowtent/platformdata/logs/box.log ? You can do a systemctl restart box in another terminal and check what the logs are saying.

    @jaschaezra I understand the urge for this, however unless the app has a solid plugin or extension system for this, we can't really support this, as it will make it impossible for us to test for updates and thus will introduce another maintenance hassle on top, which in our experience leads to various side-effects which are hard to debug and cause quite a lot of support burden.

    @nebulon i've identified the issue and it was my S3 configuration.

    The endpoint and hostname should never have the bucket name.

    S3_ENDPOINT=https://s3.us-west-001.example.com
    S3_HOSTNAME=s3.us-west-001.example.com

    @alwynispat sure of course:

    Puma

    export WEB_CONCURRENCY=4 # number of worker processes
    export MAX_THREADS=5 # the number of threads per process

    Streaming API

    export STREAMING_CLUSTER_NUM=2 # number of worker processes

    Sidekiq

    export SIDEKIQ_THREADS=4
    export DB_POOL=25 # must be at least the same as the number of threads
