What's coming in Cloudron 9.0 (was 8.0)

[girish]

We started rolling out 6.2 over the last week, I think it will take until mid next week for the full roll out. As a heads up, there are two known regressions:

• Renew all certs button does not work in the Domains view.
• Linode Object Storage backups does not work . Trying to work out a fix upstream - https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js/issues/3404

[humptydumpty]

@girish I was about to post a "bug" about certs. One of my domains failed to renew 13 hours ago. I received an email from my CR about it.

{   "domain": "www.mydomain.com",   "errorMessage": "Unexpected status: invalid" }

I checked the logs and here's the timeline.
13 hours ago - certificate renewal failed
12 hours ago - certificate renewal succeeded
1 hour ago - certificate renewal succeeded (it ran it again?)

{
  "domain": "mydomain.com",
  "errorMessage": ""
}

Checking the cert on the site itself, shows that it did renew it successfully.

Edit: BTW, this is the same domain that I receive random messages saying that DKIM records aren't set properly but I know they are. The message comes back up a few days later. DNS manually controlled for this domain in CR.

We will make another pit stop at Cloudron 6.3 before Cloudron 7 - https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/4723/what-s-coming-in-cloudron-6-3

I know you already have a lot of work, but if the ability to have alias domains could be added to this version, it would be incredible!!!!

I am needing it.

I wonder if there any scope for implementing the restic backend for backups in cloudron 8.0?
See this thread https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/1575/backup-improvements-restic-backend

I wanted to ask something about multihosting in relation to Cloudron licenses.

I will give you an example: the main server has a Cloudron premium license. Two more servers have a free Cloudron license.

Could I control the applications on the free servers from the main server? Domains, apps, backups, emails...

[girish]

I wonder how valid/relevant this post is now, since it's like a year old And all the features except multi-host are now implemented.

@girish true that it's pretty hard for this post to keep up with your coding speed

Maybe we should start a new clean one and you can let us know what you think on some of the newer ideas that were proposed (e.g. this one on my side)

Well done for you amazing work! (and the friendly support I have to say!)

[girish]

@avatar1024 Ah yes, I will add it to the 7.2 list. We are rewriting the backup code to use async/await, it will make it easier to integrate newer backends like restic in the release after that. In the past, I was a bit wary of adding more backends but I wasn't sure how stable they were. But it seems, storage players like https://www.rsync.net/ support them, so they are probably quite stable.

@girish Can you tell me something about this I wrote one month along? Thank you

Same here, restic support could be a great idea for backups as an alternative to rsync.

[girish]

@mdreira Currently, that is not possible. This is what "multi-host" cloudron intends to solve. It will take us a while to get there.

We would love to see the following:

• TURN server support for jitsi (to enable enterprise calls over 443)
• Well Known support - to enable arbitrary well-known configs (not just a predefined list)

I think the OP needs an update with the 7.x series of changes and more 8.x features.

I'm wating anciosly the addon for rabbitmq

[girish]

@matbrgz Given that very no app needs rabbitmq at this point, it's easiest to integrate this into the app itself using supervisor.

For Cloudron multi-host, it may be useful to have the DB data model as a local first concept, then sync with edge nodes.

VLCN does this as an open-source library for state management and sync.

VLCN augments SQLite, giving it the power to merge changes from other peers, notify your application of changes, and traverse remote datasets.

When is this version coming I am excited for the multi host feature.

[girish]

@Thedurancode right... This post is already quite a bit old. We are currently working on 7.4 - https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/8269/what-s-coming-in-7-4 . TBH, I am not sure when we will work on this. We have been removing features from 8.0 and implementing them into more immediate releases.

@girish you guys are awesome! keep up the great work!
