    https://github.com/TheWorms/nodebb-plugin-embed doesn't work. I haven't found a working plugin for this.

    @jdaviescoates I have apps restricted by groups, absolutely. I would just like to have responsive functionality for app labels such as Website-Cust. Name

    @girish Thanks for looking into it and I tried again with the Amazon S3 backup option in my server, and it started working for me as well (after you said that you enabled it within your AWS Account.

    I think that might have been the main issue as the error message called out that it couldn't object cloudron-testfile (which it might do through the Cloudron AWS Account if it exists*), so if the region wasn't enabled within that account, it wouldn't be able find the correct endpoint to use for that test file and hence wouldn't know where the correct endpoint is.

    I say that with the typo that you identified in the backup config code and enabling the AWS Melbourne region within your AWS account, that managed to get it working. In any ways, thanks for looking into this and getting it working for me 🙂

    @jayonrails Cool. I recommend sticking to Tarball. Faster and takes up less space overall.

    @rossmaclean ah right for this the build service app works well, after setup you can just run cloudron build in the package repo without having to commit/push in the repo. If you have it installed on the same server as you are testing the app, then this has the benefit that the image is already there and thus speeding up the process.

    @gobenizzle unfortunately, no. I was just re-reading this thread. What is your use case for this (sorry, if I missed this).

    @tamayers you said use case is "A reason for this (such as my use case) is that you might have inboxes for employees using Google Workplace, Microsoft Exchange, or Cloudron email for user account and then support inboxes for customer inquires or sales that you do not want handled on the same system." I am not sure why this is done, is this to save money because exchange/workspace charges per mailbox?

    @jdaviescoates said in Force logout after browser close and/or certain duration:

    I guess is this is a real security concern for you, you could manually logout beforehand?

    True.

    My main reason for requesting this feature is that the administrative controls are only a few clicks away. I suppose I could create a separate non-admin user account for myself and run my apps under that account.

  • MariaDB Addon

    @girish I have figured out a solution that doesn’t require admin permissions to ERPNext. It’s just that they use MariaDB specific commands here and there. That’s why MySQL addon is not useful at all.

    Multiple databases works kinda fine but needs patching the source because ERPNext likes to use the same value for db-user and db-name; in fact there’s no way to give it the db-user. The name of the database is itself is considered username.

    While building this addon, I would recommend setting the user’s name and database the same - ie. without prepending the same string with ‘db’ or ‘user’

    Multiple databases isn’t required as ERPNext doesn’t work really well as a multi-site ERP anyway.

    @Mastadamus not yet, no. I think it's quite low priority, it needs a lot of testing/changes to support http. Cloudron is designed everywhere to be secure (https) by default, making this complicated.

    @d19dotca yeah, I noticed this recently too.

    Would be really useful to be able to let users manage their own domains but not everyone else's.

    @girish said in Add Pre-Backup and Post-Backup Hooks:

    Seems to not make sense.

    That's normal for ERPs, almost all ERPs require full access to their database.
    This is mostly due to the Modular idea for modern ERP, which implements different DB for each module like a microservice.
    And communicate between with API or Functions Hooks

    @d19dotca ah thanks, I understood the issue now (it's to do with aliases not easy to find) . Created an internal issue - https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/-/issues/815

    @roofboard said in More control over DNS features.:

    Is email enabled.
    Yes, my primary inboxes are google inboxes, but I have configured gmail to use cloudron as a catch-all email server using routing rules.

    I think this is what is confusing Cloudron code. Email is hosted outside Cloudron but Cloudron is also enabled as email server.

    Do you think you can a post a screenshot or equivalent of how one configures gmail to use Cloudron as catch-all email server ?

    Also, why exactly do you do this setup? Like one has to remember which mail server a mailbox resides in to login now?

    @girish said in Add delete backup Action in Backup List:

    @robi i think users expect the box backups (the ones listed in the backups view) to be complete backups. If one of the apps is missing, it would be unexpected.

    Yes, unless one goes and edits them.
    Why would that be an expectation problem? If I remove an app from a backup that means I don't want to restore it either.

    Of course, alternately, we have to set expectations... When you restore from such backups, the apps will start our empty or something.

    Uhh, why not leave it out completely? Just skip that app from the restore, it's been removed, right?

    The backup, after the app removal, should decrement the app count, right?

    Neat and tidy.
