What's coming in 7.6

[girish]

In the spirit of quicker releases, we will make an intermediate 7.6 release before the big backup changes in 8.0.

What's coming:

• Update MongoDB to 5.0. Important: this release requires AVX support in CPU
• Turn: add ddos mitigation settings
• api: return json when route not found
• New base image cloudron/base:4.2.0@sha256: 46da2fffb36353ef714f97ae8e962bd2c212ca091108d768ba473078319a47f4
• Email: Add option to enable/disable Virtual All mailbox
• Volumes: allow options to be editable after addition for network mounts.
• app proxy: Host header is set to match the proxy domain instead of the target domain
• Move import/export user/mailbox API to server side
• Fix the docker proxy to allow sharing volumes in jupyterhub
• Fix issue where services configuration is not cloned when cloning apps
• New and complete REST API docs

See https://forum.cloudron.io/post/74309 for why this became 7.6 release and the previous 7.6 was renamed as 8.0 .

I see MongoDB running as a service but I don‘t know which App is actually using it.
My apps:

• Surfer
• Nextcloud
• TT-RSS
• Vaultwarden
• RSS Bridge
• AdGuard
• Stirling PDF
• Snappymail
• ntfy

As my CPU does not have AVX yet, I‘d be could off from the app in question….

@girish Dear Girish, I noticed that backup filename sent to external storage is different from filename downloaded locally.

In fact, backup filename adds also package version, when uploaded to an external backup, but when downloading offline that backup, locally, filename missing the package version.

Can you double check if do you have this problem from your side? It could be interesting to fix this.

This setting should be, in my opinion, "disabled" by default.

I don't agree. Most features should be discoverable (and in that sens on) by default unless there is a very good reason not to. For people that don't like it you can turn it off. Does having it on to start with cause any problems or bug on your end?

I agree with you, but yeah lots of people with Apple email clients have been having issues with it, hence why they want it to be off by default.

[p44]

@avatar1024 Many email clients had a lot of issues with Virtual all mail folders. So, it is in the interest of those who want to take advantage of this function to activate it. But, as I said, this is my opinion and obviously the final choice is made by the developers. Check this thread.

@necrevistonnezr meemo, rocketchat, ackee, wekan & nodebb need mongodb. But the way it's implemented you cannot update beyond 7.5.x . It will just error saying AVX support is needed.

I asked Netcup if they could add AVX support to their VPS offering, but they said:

Sorry, but we can't add the AVX Flag to our VPS, because of the nested virtualization.

But our Root Servers have avx and avx2 available.

https://www.netcup.eu/vserver/#root-server-details

I was going to add to to the initial thread about AVX support but for some reason that has been locked (which I've just discovered also means you can't easily quote any of the posts in it. Odd).

So I guess it's bye bye affordable (and powered by renewable energy) Netcup VPS servers then. Oh well.

[girish]

@jdaviescoates I have unlocked the avx thread. Would be good to know how many get affected by requiring AVX .

I guess there's no easy way to update MongoDB only if needed?

[girish]

@necrevistonnezr yeah, that's not possible (well, not trivially) since we only maintain one db version and the app manifest has a minBoxVersion, maxBoxVersion etc which implicitly maps to the db version. For example, an app relying on mongodb 5 would put minBoxVersion as 7.6.0 in manifest.

@girish i have 2 servers both running in a vsphere in r930s one is ubuntu 22.04 and another on ubuntu 20.04

Ubuntu 20.04 upgraded to 7.6
Ubuntu 22.04 refusing to update due to avx

[girish]

@sufian-mughal maybe it's some vsphere configuration ? Check the cat /proc/cpuinfo output on both VMs. Are they the same?

[robi]

@sufian-mughal you should upgrade the VMware virtual machine version (vm), as too old of a template can be prior to the avx support for that vm, even though the CPUs support it.

So check the underlying virtual hardware rev.

[DualOSWinWiz]

Yes after upgrade vmware on linux it worked thank you

[imc67]

After almost three weeks after “beta release”: when will the rollout begin and will it be marked as stable?

[girish]

@imc67 7.6.1 will be out later this week, but still won't be stable till end of this month. There's a whole bunch of Cloudrons stuck on ubuntu 18 and we are having to help customers upgrade. We don't want to leave them too behind, so 7.6 cannot be stable too soon.
