By default, GitLab allows external people to sign up. This can be disabled to restrict use only to Cloudron users as follows:

GitLab > Admin area > Settings > Features > remove the check mark "Sign-up enabled"

Maybe it can't detect your cloudron status

Hello @nostrdev and @timconsidine
Signup to the git.cloudron.io instance was disabled due to an overwhelming amount of spam accounts.
@nostrdev I will take this as a request for an account and access rights to create repositories.

The @staff will create your account with the e-mail address used here in the forum.

@nostrdev I have created an account nostrdev and the email on this forum . Can you password reset?

[nostrdev]

done! What next? Copy across the two repos under our own account? Or in the playground? We got an email about the packages group but it doesn't appear in the dropdown when trying to add a new repo.

[timconsidine]

@nostrdev I normally set up git.cloudron.io as an additional remote on my dev device, then create an empty repo in git.cloudron.io through the UI dashboard, and then commit/push the app source to it.

Twice (2 repos!)

[nostrdev]

Ok - pushed both repos to the playground (seemed the most suitable place) and raised first PR (looks like push to main is not possible, nor is merging)

@nostrdev hey thanks! you should be the maintainer of the repo now.

At some point , someone in the team will have to have a look at the package . I have no ETA for this atm but there is a task for @vladimir.d internally for this.

BTC Pay Server - what is the latest? We need it!

@timconsidine, is this application on your radar?

[timconsidine]

@LoudLemur I’m lacking decent internet for a week but will look when I can.
If @vladimir.d is on the case, I’ve every confidence he will do a great job

[nostrdev]

We updated the btcpayserver repo today to use the latest version (2.2.0) and fixed a CSP issue in the nginx.conf

@nostrdev I added btcpayserver to the list of custom apps that can be deployed using https://ccai.appx.uk.

It installed fine, but I am getting a blank screen when I first visit the domain and am routed to /register.

Cloudron logs for the installed app show :

ug 24 22:07:24 fail: Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.Kestrel: Connection id "0HNF3A7ITPD1Q", Request id "0HNF3A7ITPD1Q:00000001": An unhandled exception was thrown by the application.

Aug 24 22:07:24 ---> System.IO.IOException: The configured user limit (128) on the number of inotify instances has been reached, or the per-process limit on the number of open file descriptors has been reached.

Any thoughts ?

Microsoft code?

[nostrdev]

We suspect this is an issue with the host machine

You can test by running the following (will reset on next boot):

sudo sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_instances=512  # Or higher, e.g., 1024
sudo sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288  # Increase this too if needed

For permanent fix:

• Edit or create /etc/sysctl.conf

insert / update:

fs.inotify.max_user_instances=512
fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288

Then apply:

sudo sysctl -p

That web app looks cool! Is it self-hostable? Thanks for adding btcpay..

Remember that BTCPay also requires BTC Core (or Knots), or at least access to an instance somewhere

Yes, if you're referring to CCAI
You can actually use the deployed version at https://ccai.appx.uk to install CCAI onto your own Cloudron server.
Or you do it manually (docker build, docker push, cloudrin install) by cloning the repo

Thank you.
Will investigate
