As we get Sysbox into Cloudron as a default runc, that will enable many more of these use cases.

we usually find that these extensions are usually very specific and sometimes it is way more work to write a general system than just hard coding it One of the things I recognized right away about the way you guys develop Cloudron is a laser focus on implementing practical, minimal, incremental solutions instead of chasing maximum general power right out of the gate. It leads to a more stable system that I don't have to constantly fuss over -- thank you for that! I agree that this is probably the right approach for matrix plugins as well, at least for now. I think the way issue 569 was resolved is a good example of this. I think it makes more sense to continue the matrix discussion on that thread, which I just replied to. Thanks for taking the time to read and respond.

First, can you upload the jupyter app info to https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron? It seems to be missing. The name is a bit different since it's based on the upstream hub project - https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/jupyterhub-app Are the rest of the questions somehow related to Jupyter? I will try my best to answer them but I am missing the context. If you can give me the use case for each of the questions below, I can help further. Is there some good way to just flag certain directories as to be preserved? Only /app/data is preserved. Even symlinking won't work since the backup logic does not follow symlinks. So far, we are yet to encounter an app that cannot be covered with a single directory. Can we create our own addons? How hard would that be? addons are part of the platform. they are not hard at all, they are just docker containers with a "service" API. But they require quite a bit of work and testing. What new addon are you thinking of? Could a modified version of "proxyAuth" let you spin up separate per-user instances of an app? I think I understand what you are asking for. For example, there are some "single user" apps. Would be nice to somehow spin multiple instances of these "single user" apps. IMO, would be best to somehow make those apps multi-user Given most of the apps are opensource, time can be spent contributing upstream. A workaround is of course install an instance of an app for each user... Is cross-app file sharing a thing? Something like a shared mounted drive? See Voilumes. You can create a directory on the server and create a volume. Then this volume is mounted into any number of apps you want.

@infogulch RTFM myself nice catch, thanks for that.

@girish was that fixed in a recent cloudron update? My dev rig is on 6.1.2] EDIT: nevermind, re-read the release notes

@girish awesome, works perfectly from what I can see!

@nebulon awesome thank you

Was going through my Open VPN development log (since I'm prepping to make this all a reality in 6.1) being all nostalgic and found out when I ran into this issue, what a funny coincidence: https://forum.cloudron.io/post/16266

@nebulon I had an issue with my instance and had to reinstall it and re upload the videos. https://video.lahijiapps.dev/videos/watch/00513e5f-e6b2-479a-af97-eca787cd1380

I will remove the apt installation and make it npm installation because that's what upstream recommends - https://classic.yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install/#debian-stable

@lonk That's a totally valid, effective way to do it. Probably the most instantaneous of all the things mentioned, since it seems speed/latency is a priority for you. Lambda's not that bad to write code for - if you get pretty advanced with it, you can really run nearly any language on the platform, though the officially supported Java, Go, PowerShell, Node.js, C#, Python, and Ruby are the easiest options. You've got a lot of choices there.

@humptydumpty Yes, using firebase indeed means that Google will have access to all the data

I've put a test app and tested this and it works now as expected with the applied fix.

@brutalbirdie it would be great if you can share that setup/script in a separate discussion so people can easily set it up too.

@girish ok, sorry, I think I was reading to fast and recognized wss: is an 503 error in PeerTube. Does the PeerTube app also has these settings?
