Cloudron Forum

@DualOSWinWiz yes, correct. This looks like some kernel related issue or some missing ubuntu package. Can you try to make the NFS mounting work with just the CLI . This will remove Cloudron out of the equation. I think it is possible some missing package or miscompiled kernel.

@Neluser It's always appreciated when solutions are posted because eventually someone has a similar or same question. Thank you!

It seems that one can setup an "automount" that will make systemd automatically mount when a mount is accessed . It's unclear if this also applies to mount failures or just "not ever mounted". If someone wants to try, I think we need something like this:

The systemd unit file must be named systemd-escape -p --suffix=automount <HOSTPATH>

Then, create a file /etc/systemd/system/<unit_filename_from_above_command>:

[Unit] Description=Automount of hostpath [Automount] Where=HOST_PATH_HERE [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target systemctl enable <unit_filename>

If that works, I can put this in our code (for volumes and backups).

This was indeed a bug. Fixed in https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/-/commit/2434e813836e7837162c1798794d04655227d9cf . Thanks a lot @avatar1024 . It will be part of 7.1.2

Amazing, and makes all the difference!

Hello!

Is it possible, that you describe your way of connecting Cloudron with Truenas?

I'm using Cloudron on a VPS. In addition, I'm using TrueNAS at home. I want to use TrueNAS as backup space for Cloudron. Like you, I was thinking about NFS.

I'm wondering, if this connection is transport encrypted. Which port have you set in your firewall or are you using VPN? What user information have you set in TrueNAS?

I have experimented with Syncthing, to send my backups to Truenas. This works mostly fine. However, after a few days, I'm getting problems with permissions.

@girish Yeah I was starting to think that as well. I'll give it a shot and report back. Thanks!
