Cloudron 9.0 (beta) bug reports

[nebulon]

@firmansi said in What's coming in Cloudron 9:

@nebulon Please don't forget bugs in reset password for LDAP sign in too yah

not sure I get what you mean by that. Is there some bug somewhere and if so do you have more information on that?

[jdaviescoates]

@nebulon I think @firmansi is referring to this https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/14359/cloudron-9.0-beta-bug-reports/87?_=1762939432122 (not that that is particularly clear to me)

[firmansi]

@jdaviescoates thanks for the citation, yes i refer to that. So, I’ve already upgraded to the latest Cloudron version, 9.07. Now, Cloudron A pulls its user data from Cloudron B via LDAP. I tested the password reset function on Cloudron A by clicking “Reset Password.” After clicking, the password reset window did open as expected. However, after entering the email and clicking the reset button, I never received the password reset email—even though the interface displayed a success message stating that the email had been sent.

Previously, in Cloudron version 8, when I clicked the “Reset Password” button for a user authenticated via LDAP, the system correctly responded with an error message indicating that the user’s authentication source is external (e.g., “The authentication provider for this user is not managed by this Cloudron instance”). Now, in version 9.07, that check seems to be missing or bypassed—instead of rejecting the request early, it proceeds and falsely reports success, even though no email is actually sent.

[nebulon]

ah thanks for the clarification. We haven't looked into this yet. Given that LDAP has no such built-in feature, we probably need some extra API to trigger a password reset on the directory provider (which will of course then only work if it is also a Cloudron). For that case though I think the better approach would be to somehow make that work with OpenID instead of LDAP, but no code has been written for that either.

Possibly a bug - Maybe more of a specification/documentation situation.

I updated one of our servers from v8.3.2 to v9.0.7 yesterday. The overnight S3 backup to a local device failed with the following error:

Backup endpoint is not active: Error listing objects. code: undefined message: self-signed certificate HTTP: undefined

Up until now, the server was configured to backup to a s3-v4 compatible storage location using https and allowing self signed certificate.

While troubleshooting, changing the s3 endpoint from https to http and updating the cloudron config accordingly resolved the issue and allowed for backup to proceed.
To note:

• the (local) address and port of the S3 endpoint have not changed
• I regenerated the self signed certificate and made another attempt but got no luck here either.

I am not clear whether https id part of the s3 specifications or not. However, https with S3 worked fine with 8.3.2 so it is:

• either a bug in v9.0.7
• or a change / normalization within cloudron for which a more meaningful error message (or form validation) and/or documentation would be helpful.

Hopefully this helps.

@firmansi I have fixed this now in https://git.cloudron.io/platform/box/-/commit/29e2be47d0da86e77105db47d6c73b601c0fc472 . I think what you meant is below correct?

[girish]

@Neiluj that looks like a bug. Shouldn't have to use http. https + self-signed is more secure. Maybe something broke when switching over the S3 module. We will try to reproduce it.

[firmansi]

@girish awesome, i believe this will be included in next update.

[firmansi]

@nebulon I’ve actually suggested this before: what if cloudron team added a field so that Cloudron admins like me could include a link or instructions for users on how to reset their LDAP password at the location where their user data is stored? I assume not everyone using Cloudron uses Cloudron itself as their LDAP server—some may use a separate external LDAP server. While adding an extra API to trigger password changes or resets on the external LDAP server is indeed a good idea, it might take some time to implement. So, I was just thinking of a more practical, immediate solution: letting each admin using Cloudron take responsibility for providing their own reset link or instructions.

@Neiluj Fixed in https://git.cloudron.io/platform/box/-/commit/ce15958a9a09c60348f4605736d961f694f293a8 . Thanks for reporting .

Trying to install an app that utilizes Cloudron’s user directory but unable to restrict access to specific users or groups.

[nebulon]

@hakunamatata that has been fixed already with latest patch release

Hi all! Congrats on v9!

One bug I discovered so far - Backup Sites is completely missing from Backups -> Sites and only displays the latest System backups?

[dylightful]

Update: I can briefly see 'Backup Sites' if I refresh the page quickly, however it disappears and only displays the above screenshot.

Browser console issue;

[girish]

@dylightful are you on 9.0.10 ? I thought we fixed this bug.

Can you give the output of mysql -uroot -ppassword -e "select schedule from box.backupSites" (run this on server via ssh, please).

[dylightful]

@girish said in Cloudron 9.0 (beta) bug reports:

mysql -uroot -ppassword -e "select schedule from box.backupSites"

Yep version 9.0.10;
Command response below. Interestingly the backup looks to have been successful, however I still cannot see the 'Backup Sites' section of backups

root@my:~#  mysql -uroot -ppassword -e "select schedule from box.backupSites"
mysql: [Warning] Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.

@dylightful thanks! fixed in https://git.cloudron.io/platform/box/-/commit/c5f97e8bb0368e515027a33721c3b4002de54ff6 . Yes, it's a UI issue and not a backend problems. The UI had a bug parsing that cron schedule (not sure why it has a double space but maybe there was a bug in some old UI).

[dylightful]

@girish Thank you! Looking forward to the next update!

GUI bug?

Event list in Email > Event Log: there is a list of email events but you can't scroll down to older events because somehow it has no focus on mouse over (MacOS -Safari). Only when you open an Event and close it you can scroll down the list.

[nebulon]

huh good catch, I can reproduce that when zooming out to load the view without any overflow, then the scrollhandler won't kick it it seems
