Cloudron Forum

@nebulon You try to make things easy for us but we'll screw it up somehow. ; )

@guyds said in Single domain, multiple cloudrons?:

I suppose each Cloudron needs a unique domain name because of the DNS records that are being created when installing a Cloudron: DKIM, SPF, DMARC?

Yes, and also because we need a unique location to access the dashboard.

what if the domain that's being used for a Cloudron already has e-mail related DNS records, for example when it's already configured for use with G Suite or Office 365? Will Cloudron modify those records, override them or just ignore them?

If you have an existing DMARC, it don't touch it. Otherwise, it will put the default strict DMARC policy. DKIM uses a unique selector domain, so it won't affect other DKIM entries. The SPF is modified with "a: my.<domain.com" into the existing SPF.

Ah .. ssdnodes can also be ip6 only. ip4 adds a fair chunk of money these days.

Haha, well glad you managed to resolve it now and thanks for sharing the detailed resolution, might give others in the future some pointers where to look for as well.

@girish it's been solved. I did a docker logout and tried again. Got the error again but this time the error was a bit more detailed. Tried it again and it worked.

Thanks!

@atrilahiji said in Installation gets stuck in "checking DNS" step:

@jakobgreenfeld Oh I missed the bit where theres only a txt record. Add an A record pointing my.domain.com to your IP. I've had nothing but trouble with Namecheap's API for configuring everything so I've started doing this:

A record for *.domain.com
A record for @

That did the trick! It's working now. Thanks!

@zjuhasz1 Right, this is also fixed. The packages were installed because we use apt without --no-install-recommends. You can remove those gnome packages by hand for now if it bothers you but it doesn't run any daemons, so it's mostly harmless.

@nebulon Probably not anytime soon. Nexus Bytes' minimum billing period is monthly, and I usually wait to see if they offer discounts before getting one.

I was mistaken, it doesn't install it (not collectd anyway). This is the dep graph of collectd.

And gnome desktop is not installed:

root@my:~# dpkg -s ubuntu-gnome-desktop dpkg-query: package 'ubuntu-gnome-desktop' is not installed and no information is available Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files.

@tx-hermit Ah, here's the explanation - https://serverfault.com/questions/1024770/ubuntu-20-04-time-sync-problems-and-possibly-incorrect-status-information . Uninstalling/disabling ntp service does the trick! I will make a fix for next release.

I think we won't change the minimum requirement tested for in the cloudron-setup script for now. It seem quite the edge case to have that little storage available, however it is good that we know there is a possible workaround for those cases.

@mehdi you're right, my poor choice of words..

apt is a binary that can call libapt-pkg libraries and provides a subset of interactive options and commands for apt-get/cache by default.

apt-get is not limited to those options.

@robi Installing apps from the store en masse can't be common. I think rn it's flow is best for an average user, but it could be a little more mobile app store like with an "installing" progress bar while you discover other apps, and then it pops up with "installed, click to open" or something via Notifications. I could see it, but again - installing apps isn't common enough I don't think to worry about this since installing is a one-time task.

But I'm glad you brought it up because it would add a bit of polish to have a more "app store" feel to it. Still allowing app discovery while an app's installing. I think Cloudron should be able to do that one day even if it doesn't feel like a priority rn.

@scooke said in Installation on an AWS EC2 server (T2.Micro) at AWS China hangs:

@andreas True, it doesn't matter where the host company, or head office is located. Anything in China, for China, is going to be under lots of scrutiny.

Unfortunately true, we must accept this learning curve.

@girish kinda makes sense when you explain that. Maybe start with what I said above, then we can see how that website UX can feel.

@msbt said in Cloudron install failed when motd-news don't exist.:

had the same issue, @nebulon already fixed that two days ago: https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/-/commit/23474c97528893dbc25b47d68441d3cc0c6de6b3

Thank for the reply, it is always nice to not feel alone with specific issue 🙂

Girish's note is also documented (though not super obvious) here at the very bottom of the page: https://cloudron.io/documentation/backups/#move-cloudron-to-another-server

@girish said in Install Link 404 Error:

@woke You caught us in the middle of a transition of our server. Can you try again?

It is working now, thank you!

@joerodge I guess you got this sorted out by the time I approved your forum post? I can access your dashboard here:

@terrygogo try static ip from your provider.
