Cloudron won't update - No backup site for update

[potemkin_ai]

I'm still getting this error... =/

[nebulon]

can you double check if any of your configured backup sites have that app included and also have set the checkbox to use for automatic updates?

[potemkin_ai]

ahm... there are no backup sites...

[nebulon]

that would explain it, then you have to first add a backup site. Any auto-update will only work if a backup can be made.

[potemkin_ai]

but I don't need a backup for that site... any way to specify some kind of /dev/null for such a case?

@potemkin_ai you try local?

[potemkin_ai]

apart from the fact that it's not needed - there is not enough space for that

[nebulon]

So Cloudron will always require a backup for auto-updates, there is no way to skip that unless you update manually.

[potemkin_ai]

Ok... it's a pity thought...

@potemkin_ai Idea: Use Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive. Its only 1$ per 1TB. Adds some more cheap Backup.

Or local should work, just exclude your Apps and only backup Cloudron. Its small.

@joseph , thank you! It's not that I don't have space (I have a few TBs idle) - it's that I don't need it.

Local won't work - because the server has not enough space for the local. And Amazon is only cheap, unless you really start to use it

@potemkin_ai then install rustfs, minio, or seaweedfs on another Cloudron with space and do a backup. Easy peasy.

Even as a one time thing the demo server can help.

[potemkin_ai]

@robi like I’ve told - I do have where (few TBs served via S3).

It’s just that I do not need a backup for that.
Given that I can do update skipping the backup, an artificial limit on automatic backup is something I’m not clear about.
