Cloudron Forum

@SolarSimon I've always just gone to /settings/apps/updates to see available updates for Nextcloud apps amd have never noticed anything about them in /settings/admin/overview nor anything about "Stable" apps (but there is a "Featured" label on some apps)

yes, maybe try to avoid pasting AI answers without proper vetting as such into the forum. And if so probably much better to only paste the relevant parts. There is little benefit in duplicating AI output here.

Sounds great, thanks for sharing! Sounds like whilst there is a web app it's mostly a local app though: Check out the web version even though it is a bit limited: Time tracking only works if the app is open and for idle time tracking to work, the chrome extension must be installed. I guess it would still be nice to have that on Cloudron

@vitalymp I'm sorry I replaced freescout with chatwoot a while ago and deleted the associated n8n workflow with it. Which part of the integration are you struggling with?

@joseph I just tried "App -> Repair -> Try task again" ... and it fixed both apps. ... Is now a good time to feel stupid? Asking for a friend...

Hi, @james! Yeah, I think you got it perfectly. Except I don't think the app-proxy would need to use OIDC instead of proxyAuth. Maybe It could be an option: You either use proxyAuth for authentication-only if your proxied app doesn't have auth capabilities, or you use OIDC and the proxied app would use cloudron as an OIDC provider. I understand there are a few technical hurdles to jump, but I'm thinking they might be feasible. The main one, as you suggested, would be to have the OIDC-related configurations in the manifest dynamically configurable. This feels like it would demand some work, but as I understand it, there's already something along these lines in apps like gitea, where the SSH port is declared in the manifest, but customizable via the web ui. IMO, this would make for a few more nice usecases for app-proxy, like testing apps, or even hosting them elsewhere (like a homelab in my case, or another machine), but accessing them through cloudron and benefiting from its user management. Also, I don't think it would "compete with" or "exploit" cloudron in any way, since these proxied apps would not benefit from cloudron's other great features like automatic updates, backups, external volumes, etc. All the management ease and just general peace of mind that cloudron brings us. Would be a nice use case, though, I think.

If it matters (for the outbound firewall configuration) : ping is ICMP traffic , DNS is UDP port 53 .

@james I restored to a previous image, downloaded the backup of my apps. Completely wiped the server, deleted my linode and its disk image backups. then switched host providers. Maybe this information will help if some one else runs into the same problem. This server was a cloud image install, through Linode. I never did any manual configurations, always followed official docs. Never had a problem. Was solid for 3 years. Server updated on its own from the last 8x version to 9.0.11.

Absolutely. That's an excellent and thorough answer, @james . Many, many thanks. Possible text: This add-on is intended for applications that already support OpenID Connect-based (OIDC) authentication. Apply this add-on to use Cloudron as an OpenID provider with an application that supports OIDC-based authentication. Possible improvement for proxyauth: The proxyauth add-on allows you to put an authentication wall in front of an application. This is useful in situations where the application has no authentication mechanisms of its own, or where there are features that you cannot easily turn off (for the general public), and you want to restrict access using Cloudron's built-in user and group management tools. I think the idea being that, in both cases, a bit more "why" might help. Either way, thank you. All of my questions are answered (including "oh, hey, there was an app packaging topic!").

Hello @james, Thank you. My bad I completely overlooked the documentation Alright I'll give it a try

Hello @archos This was already discussed here https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/8289/changing-the-pixelfed-logo-s-link

Hello @scooke Since the app element is just a front-end for matrix, the user-management of the matrix home server is the one you are actually looking at. I installed element at https://elm.cloudron.dev and 2x matrix home servers. 1x allow all cloudron users at https://moidc.cloudron.dev 1x Leave user management to the app at https://mself.cloudron.dev. OIDC - moidc.cloudron.dev When I configure element to use moidc.cloudron.dev as the home server, I correctly get the Cloudron user management when trying to register or log in: [image: 1764072459374-332f90b8-b432-4237-851c-347183afb0f8-image.png] Self Managed - mself.cloudron.dev When I configure element to use mself.cloudron.dev as the home server, I correctly get the user management of matrix itself when trying to register or log in: [image: 1764072395122-48ceb83e-f8b6-4be9-bb25-cb02db6f10d8-image.png]
