What's coming in Cloudron 9

[makemrproper]

Multiple backup destinations will be awesome. I have so much disk space reserved for resilience!

Is there any estimated timeframe for the release of 9.0?

I once post in the forum that I hope in the next version there will be feature to customize reset password link (and text if possible) in case the cloudron instance user directory linked to another cloudron or other user directory providers. The latest version of Cloudron lack of this feature which I think is important to make it easy for regular user who dont remember the user directory url (which mostly dont remember)

Since many IPv6/PTR issues have been reported, I revisited the code to double-check.

I found two biggish bugs:

• There was a typo in the IPv4/IPv6 caching code Because of this IPv6 will sometimes be returned as undefined
• On versions less than Ubuntu 24, unbound was configured to use IPv6 . Zen SpamHaus is not replying IPv6 queries for most of the public VPS providers . I made a fix to make unbound use IPv4 to query SpamHaus.

Finally, I also added IPv6 DNSBL checks . Also, double checked that SPF record "a:" includes AAAA .

I am hoping this helps the situation. If not, we can add a flag in 9.1 to make the mail server not use IPv6 at all.

Also, still don't have an exact date for Cloudron 9 but the testing has been going on very well. I am hoping mid July we can publish the unstable.

I don't see much in terms of new networking features - is there anything on the roadmap, for example multiple NIC support?

(would be a great way to separate local apps like home assistant or immich from externally reachable apps, using just the GUI)

Looking forward to the new backup capabilities, thanks! : D

With some much needed Mail improvements, I just wanted to raise this one to your radar in case this can make it in for 9.0 at all. I’m surprised this isn’t making bigger headaches for people, likely just a particular set of circumstances, but I think this is an important fix or improvement to include if we can.

Hi Girish. How's it going?

[girish]

@humptydumpty Getting there... Last week we landed the support for multiple backup destinations with independent backup schedules. Backups also now link internally to the backup destination. This way, if you delete a backup destination, it's clear that Cloudron has lost track of backups that were made in that destination i.e those backup entries are removed and are not listed in the UI (unlike now where they linger but it's actually not possible to restore).

Currently, working on adding integrity checks and better progress. With that we are done.
