Cloudron Forum

@necrevistonnezr I am just curious how you would go about attaching a static webpage to Nextcloud. Do you think there is a way to have the Nextcloud display one as a landing page instead of the login page?

@LoudLemur said in How to record teleconference in Nextcloud Talk?:

However, I imagine you have the same version, and that is why you are asking, in which case, I don't know.

Correct, ok thanks.

Great! Thank you so much for the detailed and helpful answer 🙏

@whitespace I see that earlier in the thread you said you had no backups. But just wanted to double check, if you had any (even ancient ones) ? The reason is config.php has passwordsalt and secret which is what is used to hash the db entries. https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/34780 has some suggestions which may or may not work .

As for your question, not a nextcloud expert, but if I had to guess user settings and password will be reset since the data files is only the files.

Setting up the sieve rule means I have to have the password and set all of that up.

Using the "mailing list" settings means I don't have to do any of that, don't need to create an inbox, and it doesn't need to be owned by any accounts (and cloudron users with email admin / admin / superadmin can modify as needed).

So I guess I answered my own question 🙂 I'll write it up. for people who ask in the future. "How do I set up email forwarding to external accounts without having to provision Cloudron accounts" == mailing list.

@luckow thanks for the SoGo -- looks like that does take care of everything.

@girish said in All previous folders and files have disappeared after migrating Nextcloud to a different Cloudron server:

Alternately, you have to wait for us to investigate if the situation has changed wrt migrating users from uid based installations .

Out of interest (because it came up again here did you ever get around to investigating this?

And re "uid based installations" - is that some legacy thing? i.e. are there non-"uid based installations" - and were you referring to installations of Nextcloud or installations of Cloudron? 🙂

I'm thinking/ hoping that perhaps you meant uid installations of Nextcloud and that was a legacy thing and now they aren't like that and perhaps Nextcloud is portable from one Cloudron server to another? But I'm not at all clear 🙂

@girish said in Social Well Known:

I tested this out quickly. Indeed, the app auto creates an id of the form @nc.domain.com . After domain change, it doesn't adapt. But I don't think this is a bug in the app. Most of the federated apps (even outside nextcloud) cannot change their domain post installation.

I thought the same!

It seems to be a bit of a bugger that, on the other hand, I located the folder for well-known but nowhere does it show the URL in the files in the well-known folder for the app.

I have messaged the developer of the app to see if they could put in the description to only install on a URL that will not change or find a way around it but I don't think the developers of federated apps have it high on their priority to make domain name changes possible.

@marcusquinn Thanks.

In the recent Hub5 presentation, NextCloud's CEO showed clear commitment to data sovereignty for users. I think it is great how Nextcloud could as easily help individuals and families as much as businesses.

@jagan And I restarted the whole cloudron server and lo and behold, the app came back online.
I was watching the logs, it sputtered and crackled, but in the end, came through.
Thank you Cloudron for all this magic.

This topic can be marked as closed. I decided to buy an instance with more memory and it worked well.

@LoudLemur I use cryptomator to encrypt sensitive files that I have on my nextcloud. Your use case is a bit trickier as you have multiple people working on the same file simultaneously. Take a look at the existing apps in the App Store like collabora, onlyoffice, and cryptpad. Cryptpad might be your best option though as it’s end to end encrypted.

Edit: There’s also baserow and noco. I’m not sure if the databases are encrypted.

To get this working, you have to login to the collabora app on your Cloudron (we have added a small config UI for that purpose) and then configure which origins can connect: https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/collabora/

@andreasdueren said in How to recover TURN server secret?:

@3246 Just restart the app, it should automatically reconfiger itself. Unfortunately…

D'oh! So simple that I totally forgot about it doing that 😆

Thanks!

@pbischoff thanks, I have fixed the link.

@3246 said in [💡 Guide] How to install Cloudron/Nextcloud with LUKS full disk encryption on Hetzner cloud server:

@Stardenver yes it is. I also have it running on baremetal at home/office.

My new set up has a main drive that's encrypted and another for local backups, which is also encrypted but unlocks after decrypting the main boot/data drive.

Happy to expand on this if folks find it useful 🙂

Thanks again for your setup guide. Just got a new server and its up and running. May I ask how you'd setup your system, so that additional drives are also encrypted and unlock after decrypting the main drive?

@girish to be honest RC4 is horrible but yeah... thanks 🙂

@jdaviescoates Yes, the latest app update has resolved the issue!

Thank you for your help with this, though.

Also, the reason for nextcloud update is that it has some slightly tricky optimization to change ownership of files carefully. It also changes the default data directory of newer nextcloud installations.

@nebulon can you maybe have a look into the other thread, I am a bit stuck but it would be important to get this right for a porject of mine.
