    @jdaviescoates said in Usability - Can't find current Cloudron version on my.domain.tld: But, I still like my preferred solution here: https://forum.cloudron.io/post/15541 Would keep everyone happy, no? (and also has 4 upvotes ) Five now, we already have a "Footer" section to change the footer text, a checkbox for "Add version number" isn't too crazy I think for those of us that liked it (I did personally).

    @girish kinda makes sense when you explain that. Maybe start with what I said above, then we can see how that website UX can feel.

    Personally, I'm migrating away from GMail, and wouldn't recommend it, although I appreciate it's difficult to cut those ties for some. Another possible solution: would be to forward to any other email service that does support POP3 but doesn't have spam filtering. That way, you're not sending email to GMail, it's pulling and filtering. Appreciate that a 3 mailserver setup is odd though, but then so is GMail. I think it's worth just having a POP3 post in Feature Requests though, purely as a way to allow for any other 3rd party email someone wanted to do this with. I can see privacy advantages in POP3 as well, if one didn't want emails stored on their Cloudron and just locally. I wouldn't like to see POP3 ignored as without advantage, when if privacy is a concern, that could be a legitimate use-case.

    @robi I haven't looked into that since I'm literally the only person that uses my own apps (I'm participating in this thread because I care about the Cloudron Communities Growth, not because the feature interests me). So, thank you for the offer, but I think I grasp the idea. But if anyone else needs it, let robi know guys! ️

    Since @girish has setup the ci pipeline in Gitlab for our docs to push into a surfer instance, such changes are so easy now! So https://docs.cloudron.io/custom-apps/manifest/#configurepath is up.

    @girish There's was a lot of times I didn't want to uninstall to re-install (just re-start with some box changes), but when "restarting" them I had to wait for them to finally "Not Respond" at certain points to restart my test of it connecting apps. Obviously because I was working in box out of necessity, my specific situation was a little weird.

    I'm with @nebulon, I see this as difficult to support, harder to code for - and more user friction. I usually never support more user friction unless it's dire. I think configuring after installation is more than acceptable. It's not like we can't write scripts using their API to macro your suggestion too, but I digress.

    @girish domain expiry is more of a calendaring function IMO but a whois query at domain setup could get you that date which Cloudron could remember and prompt during that month via notification.

    @nebulon Amazing, thanks ! Yeah, a better solution would be welcome on a longer term. But even just showing that there is an error is an enormous enhancement. I just had to go through a good dozen directories to check that each upload worked correctly ^^ If you need any help / tests to further debug the underlying error, don't hesitate to ask ! Thanks again for the amazing responsiveness

    The file manager is in its early state UI wise. I also have further ideas how to improve that, at the moment we focus on other areas like apps for a bit. But let those ideas be discussed I'm the forum and I will pick them up later. Best to break up in individual feature requests though.

    @girish Cool - top-level works. "Help" kind of implies unpaid - but so that's up to you - maybe people will use it for initial free help and moving the conversation to renumeration if it were more respectful for the amount of help being provided or requested. Either way I think the spirit here is good. Thanks for this, I hope it helps match-making needs & offers. There's huge value in this community, and I hope those helping and benefitting find it profits them both in every way.

    For tgz, what we found is that the slowness is mostly because of the gz part and most of the cloud VPS are not very fast at this. And the whole tgz by it's nature is single core. For rsync, parallelism and buffer size were indeed a constraint. But these are both now configurable in the 5.5 and 5.6. Note that the concurrency her also depends much on the storage backend. For example, DO can handle only 20 at a time. But S3 can handle 1000s at a time. One has to experiment with the values a bit to figure the right number. Mostly s3 connectors don't publish ideal sizes and concurrency unfortunately.
