What's coming in 10.1

[girish]

We will be working on the following for 10.1:

• VPN protection - extend feature to select specific domains or paths. Also protect ports
• Mail: Split domain routing -https://git.cloudron.io/platform/box/-/work_items/908
• Mail: Distribution/group lists
• Add "external user" concept. Currently, when a user is added, they are given access to "everything". The idea here is to create the concept of a sandboxed user who has to be given access to apps explicitly despite apps allowing "all users" as the access control.
• Consider moving box code MySQL to sqlite. This will help us reduce a big dependency on the box side.
• anubis/hecapte integration
• New base image based on Ubuntu 26.04
  • This will bump postgres to 17, dovecot among other things
• Investigate https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/15818/define-custom-well-known-entries-via-cloudronmanifest.json

Keen to learn more about what's planned here?

What!? I'm interested, can we learn more about this and what will it look like? I'm currently hosting Anubis on a separate VPS which has costs on top of a VPS dedicated to my Cloudron server.
Managing Anubis separate from Cloudron is a pain and error prone. So I hope Cloudron can sort of fix this chore work / struggle

Hello @SansGuidon
The idea is to have it either as a global setting to enable/disable or global + individual per app enable/disable, if possible.

@jdaviescoates It's not completely fleshed out yet. The options are - We can map Cloudron group to a mailing list. Another option is to have something like Google groups. Third option is something like a mailing list (the traditional one with unsubscribe links). This last one, I am not sure if anyone uses it anymore (outside of newsletters).

@SansGuidon we are currently using Anubis for git.cloudron.io . It's made a massive difference. They have an unbranded version called Botstopper . Do you know of any other alternatives in this market?

They're quite common in scientific contexts: https://www.listserv.dfn.de/sympa/lists. (some universities are hosting these sympalists themselves.)

@girish I for one would appreciate to have groups (with both, internal and external users/addresses) where you can easily send an email to all recipients (so teams don't need to manage multiple address books for bcc sending)

@girish Great to hear regarding a group mailing list feature. I have mentioned it quite a few times on here (again in what's coming in Cloudron 10 thread), and group mapping between cloudron groups and a mailing list would be super useful so people get added / removed automatically from the list as they get added / removed from a group.

Though I'm not sure what the difference is between that and a Google Group (i.e. between your option 1 and 2)?

Would it be greedy to maybe have the 3 options to choose from at the mailing list creation time?
I can easily see use cases for the 3.
