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

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?

I indeed am running 7.7.2 on one, but 7.5.2 on another.

[eddowding]

I'm on a non-avx server -- will we receive a v8 update notification?

[scooke]

@eddowding This is my situation. I am at 7.5.2 on a non-av server, and the only upgrade notice I get is for 7.6.1, with the warning:

Update MongoDB to 5.0. Important: this release requires AVX support in CPU

Read @nebulon's comment a few above these ones. I think I will just reinstall, straight to 8, and skip the hassle of trying to upgrade.

[nebulon]

@eddowding there is no extra update notification for this. If you have a Cloudron without AVX please send a mail to support@cloudron.io with Cloudron details and remote SSH support enabled for us, so we can hotfix those. We expect only few Cloudrons on that path so a full release testing only for this didn't seem too useful for the moment.

[eddowding]

What's the best way for me to see when it's our of beta? Is there a changelog page?

[nebulon]

There is no hard cut point in time for releases. We usually stretch the rolling out over quite some time. Currently, all new installations are v8 already since a week, but we haven't started to roll it out for autoupdates yet. This is just being cautious on our end as it is not a security sensitive release. We do work on v8.1 with some minor fixes and improvements over v8.0 so unless you really need a feature already there you might as well wait for that. That being said so far the release has went quite well.

w00t, I have fixed the long-standing issue of backups getting stuck (usually, it would says @0Mbps) . Fix is in 8.0.1 (not released).
