Cloudron Forum

Out of curiosity I've built what @luckow suggested, only with Cloudron API (notifications endpoint) -> n8n -> some magic -> ntfy.sh-app and it looks like this:

f036453c-4190-48d2-bae2-33c5e16133b5-image.png

Action gets triggered (either automatically or manually), n8n checks the cloudron api https://my.example1.com/api/v1/notifications (create a readonly access token in your profile and update the Bearer token with it) with the parameters acknowledged = false, so only unread notifications are collected.

The code-node does the following (filteredTitles because I don't care about app-updates, only actual issues, can be adjusted of course):

const notifications = items[0].json.notifications; const types = notifications.map(notification => notification.type); const titles = notifications.map(notification => notification.title); // Filter notifications to remove those with type "appUpdated" const filteredNotifications = notifications.filter(notification => notification.type != "appUpdated"); // Extract titles of the filtered notifications const filteredTitles = filteredNotifications.map(notification => notification.title); //return [{ json: { types, titles } }]; return [{ json: { filteredTitles } }];

This will result in an array of current notifications, e.g.

[ { "filteredTitles": [ "Email is not configured properly", "The app at cms.example.com ran out of memory." ] } ] The if-node checks if there's actual content. If it's empty, nothing will happen, if it's not, it will make a http request to your nfty instance and topic of your choice (saved credentials in n8n) and send the notifications:

Since I was working with readonly tokens, I had no intentions of marking the notifications as read after sending out the message. So there's room for improvement, but I thought I would throw it in here as a PoC 🙂

I threw out a module last minute, so hopefully no oversights in there. Improvements are welcome! 😉

TL;DR: Adjust the URLs to your Cloudrons, create and add readonly tokens, add a ntfy token to your n8n credentials and adjust the URL to your ntfy instance.

I would like to be able to leave a note alongside a particular application backup, too.

@zonzonzon It's the best FOSS you'll find. Don't know your other experience, but you can pretty much get Espo to do anything you please. If you need accounting done for you, though, Odoo is also a consideration, and their SaaS pricing ain't too bad for what you get.

Sadly, this is the way cal.com works. When you self-host it, you need to provision the apps you want your users to be able to use, which cannot be done after the initial install it seems. It might be worth asking upstream in their Github about options do amend this via CLI or otherwise.

NocoDB does nice forms.

If only we could mark this "Solved - Permanently"!

@girish Sorry for the delayed response. My server is also hosted in Singapore (by Hostinger). I've noted a couple of seconds delay to open Cloudron's app store but it is definitively back. Thank you again for the support 🙂 !

@girish
Thanks, that makes sense. Have setup external monitoring for port 25. Appreciate the speedy response as always.

no sorry. Just coincidentally having a similar issue with backups, at the same time I think. I can see why you'd think that, I kind of jumped into the conversation.

I have changed the error message now to this:
