How to set up backups after "noop" selected?
-
I had an expensive backup bill and selected "noop" to prevent data from going to my backup provider (digital ocean).
Now, however, I can't seem to choose anything to get it back to a working backup state. There used to be a dropdown menu (which is how I selected "noop") but now there is just a text message.
How do I configure my cloudron instance to do backups again?

While investigating this issue, I discovered a small bug in the "noop" code:
/home/yellowtent/box/src/backupformat/tgz.js:28
If you'll note, at line 28,
fileType
is not yet defined, and therefore throws an error.Unfortunately, this does not fix my issue. The dropdown box is still missing.

BTW, for now, I have resorted to modifying the box db (settings table) directly in order to restore backup capability. The dropdown still does not show itself.

looks like its in some inconsistent state then if the UI does not show the appropriate fields. Also I noticed that in your initial screenshot the Location is empty, which seems like you hit a bug we had in the past. Maybe you could enable remote SSH support for us and send a mail to support@cloudron.io with the Cloudron details and we can check this directly.

Done, thanks.

For the record, the resolution was that I had two accounts, one an admin and one a superadmin (both with a similar username). I believe that my logging into an app as the admin caused my current account in Cloudron to also become admin. This hid the "Configure" button in the Backup section--while admins can see the backup settings, only the superadmin can change them. Logging out of the admin account immediately gave me access to superadmin again.
