What's coming in 8.0

[girish]

deSEC integration is now implemented.

[girish]

Couple more features have landed:

• Ubuntu 24.04 LTS support
• Removed unbound as system resolver. unbound is still used internally and will get totally replaced in some future release. systemd-resolved will be the resolver for all the addon and app containers. mail container will continue to use unbound for DNSBL lookups.

Regarding Dashboard features - can we get pretty much everything that https://dashy.to/ is doing? Really good reference

I hope this will make things easier for you as a non-running unbound seems to be he source of so many reported errors in this forum….

Now just ban Firefox and you‘re all set

[girish]

@necrevistonnezr yeah, the top 3 issues are backups, unbound and graphs. Hopefully, we fix it all in 8.0 and we can retire

since we mostly use Firefox here, it is more related to those security/privacy extensions which are sometimes just too aggressive. Similarly the various privacy related chrome variants cause much side-effects

@necrevistonnezr whats wrong with firefox ?

[necrevistonnezr]

@AartJansen
A few of the many examples of bug reports that turned out to be Firefox: https://forum.cloudron.io/post/74973

@necrevistonnezr
If they ban Firefox they have lost a customer.

[necrevistonnezr]

Oh, I guess the subtlety of the irony here was just too overwhelming

Also: I don't speak for the team, I'm just a customer.

Very unlikely we would do such a thing. I only use Firefox in fact. Issues with browsers are mainly due to privacy extensions not so much the browser itself. I guess Firefox users just happen to use more of those which makes it look like the browser has issues.

Hi,
I know developers rightfully hate nothing more than "are we there yet/when are you done" questions, but could you give a rough guess how far 8.0 is away currently?

We will need to move two servers and while we still got a bit of time a rough guess would enable us to decide if it's worth installing the current version or wait for 8.0 and do a clean Ubuntu 24.04 LTS(which would make a few other things easier for us). We are totally happy to wait (it's done when it's done), but I would hate to install two new installations and then 8.0 comes out 3 days later.

Dark-mode for the filemanager has landed now for 8.0 also:

Hopefully it will be easy to fix and it's only on my side; but ...
after an update, which seams to be done successfully

my apps runs but I have no Cloudron Dashboard
my.domain.tld is blank; even with Chrome and Safari (which I never use)

Server: Ubuntu 22.04LTS
Cloudron: 8.0
rebooted after update

[nebulon]

@JOduMonT is there anything in the log file at /home/yellowtent/platformdata/logs/box.log which might hint at an error? Otherwise, maybe you can send us a mail to support@cloudron.io and enable remote SSH for us to debug this directly?

We are working on the following for 8.0

Support servers without AVX again.

I have 2 servers running 7.7.2. Will I be able to upgrade from this straight to 8.0?

[nebulon]

Currently, we don't plan on creating a release which allows those Cloudrons to "jump" releases as this is hard and time-consuming to test for us.

But we will manually update those Cloudrons if you send a mail to support@cloudron.io and enable remote SSH support for us.

[AartJansen]

Isn't 7.7.2 the current live version? Are there more versions between this and 8.0 ?

Good point! Indeed it is!

Perhaps @scooke is actually running an older version but wrote 7.7.2 in error?
