Cloudron Forum

I am not so sure if every app would need a specific MCP server written for it, because as I see it, the MCP server should expose only the cloudron-specific functionality of any app, not allow with the app itself. What that means specifically: Using Claude Code, Cursor etc. I could prompt "check the production logs of my app to investigate why the hell this doesn't work". Ideally, via MCP, the AI could execute test scripts that have been uploaded before via terminal, or do similar basic things such as go through files of the app. I would be more interested in app-based interactions rather than the whole cloudron itself, but that use case might differ between people.

I can be a stubborn cuss at times I made a simple iPhone app to record GPS location every XX minutes and submit it to my Seq server. Yep, it's just a log, no fancy graphics, that's Traccar or Dawarich job [image: 1751064772600-img_0358-resized.jpeg] [image: 1751064830965-screenshot-2025-06-27-at-23.36.22-resized.png] Need to test it, but will release it on iOS AppStore if the Apple gods decide it is compliant.

@robi i didn't saw any documentation on that

Hello @jdeighton Yes, that is possible. Here is also part of this in the documentation: https://docs.cloudron.io/guides/connect-mysql/ But! Not documented is the part how to access the main DB, since this is risky and most users should not do that. It is present in multiple forum posts so here. While connect to the root user on the server, run: docker exec -ti mysql /bin/bash and inside the container you can simply run: mysql -uroot -p$CLOUDRON_MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD

Also: interestingly the moment the server started playing up is indeed the moment that I had roughly linked to our latest cal.com deployment. I say latest because this Cloudron server had a previous cal.com app instance that we used as a test a while back - not sure if relevant but maybe it can help inform the situation.

@FalconFour Since you have a very technical custom backup / snapshot solution with BTRFS and you wrote you are missing the Databases in your backup. (hope I did not fly over the text and missunderstood?¿) You can always create a cron-job on the root server itself to dump all Databases into your backup destination. NOTE: I also use BTRFS on my Notebook for fast snapshots before each system update or package installation and also now love the blazing fast snapshot time. But when something breaks with BTRFS the fixing becomes a real pain. And still I see BTRFS snapshots as such, snapshots. Even to a different disk, I would not consider it a real backup. On the other hand when using btrfs send and btrfs receive in conjunction this could be a solid approach. Maybe I should add a btrfs send/receive weekly task to my notebook. Right now I use restic as an incremental backup solution to a Hetzner storage box. Also, here is my approach of bricking my BTRFS snapshots [USER STORY] ICU blocks system upgrade? - I just ignore it! NO, DO NOT!

@Robin do you maybe still have the apptask logs from where it hang? It should give us some indication why the DNS record check didn't succeed during that time. It should show which nameserver returned which IP for the records.

There is only one role: admin. Every user sees every document. There is no whitelabeling No Workflows No conditionals No API A counter on the anonymous start page shows how many documents have been signed with DocuSeal in this instance. All in all, a lot of features that people are interested in. Shame on them that the problem can't be solved by spending money and getting a key/file/license to enable these features on the Floss instance.

@james said in What does it take to use Surfer as a “real” multidomain surfer?: folder function for app elements in the dashboard Hey, now you're on to something. Folders would be great and serving multiple needs For me personally the dashboard filter doesn't really hit the mark. Yes, it does work, so no complaints. But having a folder which I could put all apps for a domain, now that would really help overcome "can't see wood for trees" syndrome. I have 130 apps deployed. In some cases I might want to group apps by ephemeral criteria not available in dashboard filters, such as "fringe". Tags go some way to this, but a folder would be neat.

Hi @james , I am running the stock Cloudron app which was configured during install to utilize the Cloudron's user management. Fresh logs showing the user "USERNAME" trying to delete the group "Accounting".

@crazybrad Ok, and what about backup size? Also, did you already tried to switch iDrive e2 data center?

Thank you for sharing your perspective – I’ll look into this further.

@girish IPv6 is enabled on the server but not "in use", since some domains that are added manually don't have v6 and I don't want to run into troubles. Those are mostly Hetzner Cloud servers.

Thanks! I'm going to play around by modifying an existing app and see how far I get.

@girish Thanks for your explanation, I will add version within the The appStoreId, @james so now I have something pretty robust and will use the following process: All updates disabled by default I will manually check and update Cloudron quarterly, on specific timeframes I will leverage on API to orchestrate each app upgrade individually
