High Performance Back-end for Nextcloud Files
-
@eganonoa I have to read more on that this service is , but we have to use the apache config - https://github.com/nextcloud/notify_push#apache .
BTW, why is this just not part of nextcloud itself? Seems complicated having to maintain this as a parallel system outside of nextcloud.
"I have to read more on that this service is , but we have to use the apache config - https://github.com/nextcloud/notify_push#apache".
The way I did it was to set it up via the nginx config in the main cloudron server and then use the direct IP when running the binary in order to bypass the second proxy. So I didn't touch the apache config in the Nextcloud app (I understand it goes through both the Nginx proxy on cloudron and the apache on the Nextcloud container, right?). As of now everything works perfectly and if you don't add the block into Nginx it will fail. That's why I think it would be useful to automatically have that block in there (it redirects [NEXTCLOUD URL]/push).
"BTW, why is this just not part of nextcloud itself? Seems complicated having to maintain this as a parallel system outside of nextcloud."
Indeed it does. Given that it is just a simple service in the end, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Probably because it's ultimately all about desktop sync speed (with notifications a bonus) they keep it out of the main one for those who only use the web-interface or to keep overheads lower for people who either don't care about speed or would rather not add overhead to their nextcloud offerings (I'm thinking of those who might be providing it for free or for very low cost).

@eganonoa that all sounds great, thank you for working this out. I've not closely followed the whole thread, but it sounds like we're getting close to be able to say: it you want to enable Nextcloud's High Performance Back-end for Nextcloud Files do this: ....
I'd really love to be able to use the HPB with my Cloudron Nextcloud!

I think now we're close enough to be able to say that indeed, and you can use the HPB with your Nextcloud without too much hassle. Once the change to Cron comes through, I think we're in good shape. Indeed it would be useful if others would try out what I have above so that we can be sure it's not just some fluke on my end!

Noticed that the app-level nginx conf is getting overwritten daily, breaking the backend. Am trying the fix suggested by @girish here.
@girish Just to say, still no half-daily overwriting of the ngnix config since I made that change, as per the link. Everything moving smoothly. So indeed this change appears to have worked. Not sure its something you intend to incorporate into a coming release. But thought I'd give you that feedback in case you do want to.

@eganonoa thanks for the notes! I will test this out once we have get 7.2 out and see how we can fix up nextcloud.

Awesome. Thank you. Glad I've been able to help out somewhere. Cloudron is a very important business to us.

@eganonoa Looks great! The cron stuff should be released with the next release in the coming 2-3 days.
@girish I've updated to 7.2.2 just now and cannot seem to get the binary to run with @reboot. I have tried in the crontab:
@reboot /app/code/config/notify_push.sh
and
@reboot sleep 60 /app/code/config/notify_push.sh (just in case a delay is necessary)
and watching the logs I can't seem get the binary to run.
Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong.

Is this path correct? For a start you can just put an
@service echo "Push service running"just to double check that the cron configuration is picked up. -
Is this incorporated now?
We're having issues with speed in Nextcloud Talk (just the text chat, not calls) specifically.
Wondering if this is a solution, or these threads ending in 2020 are still relevant advice: -

@girish Hi Girish, I wonder if nowadays there is a way to get this working? It seems like you all got quite far a long a while ago but I can't see any updates. Would be great to get it to work, especially client push!
@avatar1024 Still can recommend this one https://forum.cloudron.io/post/76397
