@malvim said in Backup Improvements: Restic Backend:
@necrevistonnezr how have you been testing backups? I have a raspberry pi at home, set up with restic/rclone backups as well. Once in a while I mount one of the latest snapshots and check a bit randomly if things "look ok". I'd like to have a better system to check if backups are okay, so any pointers would be appreciated.

and, as I said, spot checks for files with restic-browser.
@avatar1024 said in how can I use the Cloudron Groups in Nextcloud?:
are Cloudron groups not LDAP
Yes, Cloudron groups are not in LDAP currently. Currently, if you want to restrict to a group, you can do this already. But if you want groups to sync, that's not implemented. Feel free to open up a feature request to implement this and we can guage the interest.
Oh, wanted to mention - despite PHPMyAdmin being worked on rn; if anyone has an interest in connecting a remote SQL client app (like Sequel Pro) to Cloudron apps on an app-per-app basis. Here are instructions to do so here: https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/3237/remote-sql-support-on-a-per-app-basis
In my experience this is a much better, faster way to work with databases than PHPMyAdmin could ever dream to be.
Maybe we could at least introduce an optimization of the databases from time to time. The size of the referenced "ttrss_entries" table went from an insane 1,238 MB (!) to 583 MB after optimization.
The following command, maybe via a button, should to the trick:
mysqlcheck -Aos --user=${MYSQL_USERNAME} --password=${MYSQL_PASSWORD} --host=${MYSQL_HOST};
@necrevistonnezr Still evaluating what is the best option to update existing installations. Most likely we won't do dist-upgrade automatically. Also, new installations will default to 18.04.
This would go well with a secondary backup facility for all things Cloudron doesn't currently back up, which is valuable, such as Volumes.
Add a few protocols for this such as FTPS, SFTP, RCLONE, RSYNC, etc..
