What's coming in Cloudron 6.3
-
The last change remaining in 6.3 was related to notifications and most of it had landed yesterday.
-
Common issue is that a notification like a cert failure or restart required etc is essentially spammed to all admins and this causes great distress for all. So, we have now moved notifications from being per-user to be instead "system" level. The notification system is thus shared by the admin team and they can figure how to collaborate with other tools instead of Cloudron trying to have some sort of "read" indicator for each one of them.
-
Apart from failed backups and cert renewal failures, no emails are sent anymore. You have to visit the dashboard to see notifications since most of them are really not urgent or actionable.
-
Cert renewal notification + email is only raised if only 10 days are left to go for existing certificate to expire. The renewal itself will start 30 days in advance. So, we should see this very rarely from here on. Backup renewal notification will only be sent if 3 consecutive backups fail. This way we allow for "external services" to fail now and then without being too aggressive about notifying user.
There's more notes at https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/-/commit/73917e95c9473ec8fc11216fd78607b0a256df7d . There's other minor visual changes as well, I will post a screenshot tomorrow once I complete the UI side.

The going is slow... Having to support 3 ubuntu versions takes a lot of testing time
The tests currently pass for ubuntu 18 and 20 but not for 16 yet. But we are close! Looks like failures are related to older versions of unbound not supporting sd_notify correctly.
-
@d19dotca Manual testing of volume mounting revealed a lot of bugs, so we had to rework it a bit. The rework is done (as you can see from our git commits). I have started another e2e run just now.
Also, since we are now in the Vultr marketplace, we have gone ahead and added Vultr DNS and Vultr Object Storage as well in this release.
-
I pushed out 6.3.0. We hit a few migration issues, so it became 6.3.1. There are some minor issues being fixed, will be pushing 6.3.2 shortly. Please hold before you update to 6.3.
(to clarify, new installations get 6.3 but updates from 6.2->6.3 will give you a warning that it's unstable. please heed the warning
).
-
@msbt it should mostly be OK but there might be some regressions. Did you happen to hit any? Let me know so I can get it sorted out for 6.3.3 . So far, I haven't heard of any from the new installations and all the Cloudron we have access to seem to have updated OK.
-
@girish the only things that happened were the logo from the branding disappearing and the app-update icons were misplaced (top right corner ). After updating to 6.3.2 the arrows are back where they belong (although on the left side, but this is by design I reckon). The logo I just reuploaded. Other than that it all seemed fine

@girish - I see that the mailing lists aren't forwarding spam anymore and see it in the "Denied" categorized email logs which is great and helps a huge amount for many of my mailing lists. But... how do I overwrite this for certain mailing lists which are too sensitive to do spam filtering on? I don't see a way to modify this and one of the mailing lists are getting too many false-positives from one particular email I can't whitelist. Am I perhaps missing the checkbox to disable/enable the spam filtering for the mailing lists?
I have a bit of an urgent issue here that I need to resolve since I have a doctor who's not getting emails from a particular patient due to this. How can I resolve this?
Side note: It'd be awesome if the log entries showed which spam rules were triggered to mark it as spam, so that if it's a false-positive like it is then I can review and tweak as necessary. Also whitelisting emails and so many more things we really need in the email functionality.
Please and thank you. I know the last few won't come until future versions, but in the meantime if I can somehow get around the mailing list spam filtering for a particular mailing list or if there's even a temporary way for me to whitelist/allowlist the email address being blocked, I'd really appreciate it.
-
@d19dotca There is not option to ignore spam rules per forwarding list. A work around is to simple create a mailbox and then create a forward (this forwards everything). Let me look into adding an option per mailing list for 6.3.4. This will take me a day or two, so hopefully the workaround of creating a mailbox and a sieve forwarding works in the intermiitent time.
-
@girish Yes please. Spam filtering should never be forced without any option to bypass it, so it should definitely have always been an option to toggle on or off for mailboxes and mailing lists (likely defaulting to on I suspect). Thanks Girish if you can add it in the next release.
-
@girish I'll have to see, in case that other issue is applicable still when I convert it back to a mailbox again where spam isn't really handled in any sieve filters. I'll try to get this sorted out in the coming hours and confirm. I'd suggest this may apply to others than just me though so the sooner the better to fix that please.
