Home page missing
-
@BrutalBirdie Changing the port to start at 40100 solved that problem. I ran into another (after changing the admin password). When I tried to create a user, it would not allow me to save the user because of a missing Home directory. I tried to update the sftpgo.json file and add a key in the common section like this: "users_base_dir":"/app/data" to establish a default. I'm not sure if that is the correct absolute path, but after restarting SFTPGo with the new config, I ran into the same "Home page missing" error. And there does not seem to be a place in the interface to create one when adding a user. What am I missing?

So per https://github.com/drakkan/sftpgo/blob/d4ea6adcc30bf095d3f4bd8084ddad95991086f5/internal/dataprovider/dataprovider.go#L410 , you should set to users_base_dir to say /app/data/user_files . Then, a user logging in would save things in /app/data/user_files/<username> .
cc @girish , maybe we set something by default

@joseph Really helpful, thanks. That was the missing link for me. I now have a working user who can log into the SFTP server. Uploading a file worked. All is right with the world (or a least this small corner). Appreciate your efforts, @girish and especially @BrutalBirdie for making this available.
I think your suggestion of setting up a default mount point for user_files is excellent. Making sure it integrates with Cloudron backup (see question below) would be great. Lastly, a mistake I made (but quickly rectified) was the default SFTP port. Standard is 22, but SFTPGo chooses 2022 (good idea) but it is easy to miss. Perhaps adding a note to the app documentation that SFTPGo does not use standard service ports?
A couple of follow-up questions (still learning a lot about Cloudron):
- Is Cloudron the correct owner for /app/data/user_files or is yellowtent or www-data more appropriate?
- What is the difference between these 3 owners {Cloudron, yellowtent, www-data}?
- To have /app/data/user_files (and all user folders underneath) backed up as part of the normal Cloudron backup process, what (if anything) in the way of extra configuration is necessary?
- This app seemed to allow Cloudron users and groups to be assigned access but logging in using a user with access permission did not work. Is there a configuration change required? Or is the linkage only via LDAP or OIDC?

What is the difference between these 3 owners {Cloudron, yellowtent, www-data}?The
yellowtentuser is only for the server and not applicable to the (containerized) apps.For apps, each app is containerized differently and the username has to be guessed. A good place to start is just look at the other files in /app/data . In all cases, if you just restart the app, it will fixup to the correct permissions since the container start up script always changes permissions. As a general rule:
www-datais a non-root user in mostly apache/php apps
cloudronis a non-root user in most other apps
I think there are also cases wheregitand maybe something else is used. -

Maybe @BrutalBirdie knows about this. Are you referring to OIDC login though? That works for me atleast . It's slightly confusing btw that admin and user login pages are styled very similarly!

Nothing extra needed. Everything in
/app/datais fully backuped by default.@crazybrad said in Home page missing:

Are you writing about Cloudorn Groups and permissions beeing synced into SFTPgo?
-
@BrutalBirdie Yes. Are Cloudron Users and Groups "synced" into SFTPGo? BTW, I checked and backup is working perfectly. And it's funny how life works sometimes. I wasn't sure that I would use SFTPGo. Until I found out that one of my vendors was not properly backing up a server. Their preferred solution: providing an external SFTP server. And voilà... you packaged SFTPGo. And it just works. And it integrates with Cloudron backup. Many thanks!
