What's coming in 7.0 (was 6.4)
-
To give an update here, we sidetracked a bit and decided to modernize our codebase. Specifically, we moved from callback based programming to more modern async/await. Much of that work here is done, so we will post updates on features as we implement them.

Great ! Honestly, that was long overdue ^^ I think it is a great time investment, as it will definitely speed up future developments significantly.

A quick update on this. The "rewrite" is done and our CI tests pass, so we can now proceed to implement new features.
Some changes that are already done:
- For privacy, do not use Gravatar as default avatar option
- wellknown: respond to .wellknown/matrix/client
- Make new login email translatable
- Require cloudron.io email to be verified to open support tickets
- external ldap: If we detect a local user with the same username as found on LDAP/AD we map it
- add basic eventlog for apps in app view
- Enable sshfs/cifs/nfs in app import UI
- Require password for fallback email change
- Make password reset logic translatable
- Logout users without 2FA when mandatory 2fa is enabled
-
Operator role is now implemented. An admin can set user(s)/group(s) as app operator:
The operator is then able to do app configuration and maintanence. They will see the gear icon on their dashboard:
Operator's app UI:
Note: An operator who is not an admin cannot uninstall an app, change it's location or clone it.

Added an Event Log section in the apps view.
-
- Added UpCloud object storage integration
- Added UpCloud object storage integration
-
Some email related changes:
- Email data is now viewable via the File manager (a new icon on the top right in the Email view).
-
Email data is stored separately from box data. A new mail.tar.gz (or mail directory in rsync mode) is created now at the top level. In theory, this makes it now possible to create backups, list backups and restore the Email data separately just like we have for apps. Maybe we will implement that in some future release as use cases arrive.
-
Mailbox backup / restore - There is no special UI for this. But one can now "restore" a mailbox by just uploading old mailbox from a backup and uploading it into the new mailbox via the File manager UI. Mailboxes are in the "vmail" directory in the above screenshot.
-
Custom cron commands can be added per-app:
Output of commands will nicely appear merged in the app's log output:
-
There is now a "recovery" flag for the addon containers. It behaves similar to the app recovery mode. The addon container is put in read/write mode and will "sleep". One can then ssh and exec into the container to fix the database. It's fairly geeky but is needed when database becomes corrupt.
-
-
Any ETA for 6.4? Wanting to test the migration issue defect that was identified in https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/5683/data-argument-must-be-of-type-received-null-error-during-restore-process when it’s ready. Would it be this week perhaps?

recvmail addon is fixed now. we will have to fix the apps after the release.
Does this mean you'll be able to fix apps like Discourse so they can receive posts by email? Think / hope so!
-
@jdaviescoates yes. But for discourse, we also need pop support it seems.

Unless you use the API instead:
-
Impersonate user feature:
You can click on the impersonate button (second button from left):
This will create a temporary password that you can use to login to apps or the dashboard. This will help admins to pre-setup things on behalf of the user. Importantly, this does not reset the user's existing password, this is an alternate password.
-
There's a link in the profile page now to send password reset request:
