Cloudron 9.0 (beta) bug reports

[james]

Hello @d19dotca, @Neiluj and @Bedrijfstak14 - thank you for the detailed feedback.

Firstly, I am no web designer by any means, so all my opinions can be discarded if you have a better idea.
And please, share your ideas.

1. and 2. good point!
3. I can second your opinion. Maybe we should give the bar a visible border in the same blue color? Suggestions on styling are very welcome
4. Understand where you're coming from, like spreadsheets where you alternate between white and gray to faster separate each row.
There are many options to make tables more readable.
In my opinion to not clash with the aesthetic of the otherwise clean UI, maybe a visual cue based on hover over might be a good idea?
But the hover over might not be the best for mobile view then.
5. good point

1. I see, you are missing the footer in the dashboard. Maybe this should be re-added. I know some Cloudron hosters that put Need Help? there with a link to their internal support chat. Ah, reading further after your screenshot, you do the same.
2. Nice suggestion this might indeed be a good replacement for the old footer
3. good to think about it
4. good catch, should only be visible if the permission level matches

Thanks for the report, we are looking into it.

@Bedrijfstak14 thanks , that one was already fixed in 9.0.1 - https://git.cloudron.io/platform/box/-/commit/e9318d7f11e1198ab988825fed31b0f42e262718

@d19dotca said in Cloudron 9.0 (beta) bug reports:

The mailboxes list feels like it should be clickable

For all the table views, the idea is to have some sort of "favorite"/"common action" buttons to the left of the "..." . And also some default action . We will have this for 9.1 most likely.

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

While I think it is right that the User Manager does not have access to these options, I think that the options should simply not be visible, rather that to open another / different page. This is likely to create confusion.

Whoops, that's a bug. They should not appear at all indeed, fixed now. User Manager role just has ability to add/remove users and groups and that's about it.

Just updated to 9.0.1, /#/server still doesn't show stats and the trim error got replaced with this one, which is odd, because the disk stats are actually working when clicking on the "Details" button, but the rest of the graphs aren't:

box:metrics BoxError: Could not get disk stats
    at readDiskMetrics (/home/yellowtent/box/src/metrics.js:115:27)
    at async readSystemMetrics (/home/yellowtent/box/src/metrics.js:154:25)
    at async pipeSystemToMap (/home/yellowtent/box/src/metrics.js:425:21)

Browser console says this "Uncaught TypeError: can't access property "blockReadTotal", metric is undefined"

[girish]

@msbt I fixed that issue earlier today morning - https://git.cloudron.io/platform/box/-/commit/41c00eda7468ee27ff5250bdf74f672684b738cc . Should have a 9.0.2 later today .

I'd suggest improving contrast on the app store cards for better visibility. Something like this with stronger highlight on hover.

[Lanhild]

Not a bug per-se, but I believe it would be better to replace this Alert icon by another one, as this makes the user believe there is an error, rather than outstanding tasks to do

[Lanhild]

The application grid container should be vertically aligned with the toolbar header

Currently, there's a visible gutter when resizing the window to a smaller size.

[Lanhild]

Add an autocomplete=off attribute where deemed necessary, e.g the user creation modal email, username, and password recovery inputs.

[Lanhild]

The message makes it as if there is no form validation before authenticating the request. If this is the case, might want to check in on that.

[Lanhild]

Apart from the cursor style, there is no visual cue that the app domain is a link.

[Lanhild]

Email configuration changes can be saved, even if there were no changes. The button should be disabled if the value hasn't changed.

[Lanhild]

The start/stop option is not available in an app's settings toolbar anymore, but only through the "Uninstall" section of it's settings. Not ideal.

Hi,

while testing version 9.0.1 i run into domain limit.
Is this a new limit?

Greetings
Christian

[nebulon]

Wow loads of great suggestions! We will work through those. Keep them coming

edit: A couple of them got already added to https://git.cloudron.io/platform/box/-/issues/855 by now..

[nebulon]

@CBCUN we had some conservative test limits set and forgot to bump them. Those are lifted now, as before.

When in the /#/system-update view, while editing the values, the hours-dropdown doesn't show the current values and if I select one, it selects them all.

When trying to select a day, the dropdown just disappears and the console shows "TypeError: can't access property "value", item is undefined"

[andreasdueren]

For these new notification settings it would also be nice to send an optional webhook or something. I am for example using ntfy for all kinds of notifications and would definitely prefer this channel over E-Mail.

Here is what I noticed is off:

1. Looks sharp with a few caveats, speed of info being populated. The UI loads first, then the dynamic parts start coming in a few seconds later. Can this be cached? Feels slower than previous UX.
2. The sidebar doesn't appear to be able to dock or minimize to the icons, or be adjusted in width. Makes everything on the right smaller.
3. Still no way to tell how many apps are running from a glance at the dashboard
4. Still no keyboard navigation? Feels slower with the mouse and expanding menus vs old way. It's also off the screen requiring scrolling when all are expanded. Slower.
5. Many dialogs can't be exited or cancelled by pressing escape. For ex: adding a new mailbox user, tab to highlight the domain then Esc doesn't work, same for the next tab down to the next field. Ties in with No 4.
6. When initiating actions the confirmation dialog is way at the top, requiring more time travel mouse wise. Centering it on screen would be good, dynamically placing the dialog at the same level as the previous button on screen would be better, and turning off confirmations (as an option) would be best!
7. While dialog buttons can be switched via tab and better visualized thanks to the white border styling (in dark mode) the highlighted button cannot be pressed/confirmed with space, only enter.
8. In System > Services the cloudron service still has no restart button in the three-dot menu. Yet docker does? I think we should do away with the three dot menu, it's yet another click with no benefit. The instant icon/buttons were great and visually easy. The menu is visually mute and far away fom the previous column.
9. When I click on Backups, I want to see backups, not a dropdown with more options that are not backups. Just include the app archive below the backup information and save space. Come to think of it, why have expanding menus at all? App config doesn't, it just moves to another inner menu with all the options closer to the action. Would be more consistent across the two modals.
10. Server menu could use copy buttons for easier sharing of info during troubleshooting or vanity posts and better formatted. This is what it looks like pasting the last two lines:
    Uptime
    20 hours
    Cloudron Creation Time
    9 months ago
    ^^ O_O that is a human gestation time.. and if you just installed Cloudron 9.. oh wait you upgraded. Nevermind.
11. The size of all the tiles is smaller. It might be nice to have a zoom/size feature to help visually if on larger screens.
12. Almost thought we lost branding, but it's under Appearance. Okay? Why do external links on the dashboard have anything to do with Appearance? It could be a single button +[-∞-] on the Dashboard itself. Move Branding to System.
13. The tile/list toggle button is nice, but then we have the burried three dot menu again. Icons not hidden by the menu are so much better.
14. Why is the label and the location linking to the same external link? Let the label go to the config page and location go to the external link.
15. The list view sort by reverse App Title is a bit broken as it separates lowercase and upper case letters, sorting each as a group, not as a whole list. Ignore the case.
16. There don't appear to be hints hovering the mouse over the red triangles.
17. It would be nice if the Event Log would have a button or links to the app config in question.
18. In the Server menu, why hide the beautiful app list and file sizes? If you don't want to load it every time because of the graphs, have a cached version that updates. The list is not clickable, and I'd want to go to the App settings if I do. An enhancement would be to pull out the Backup Enabled setting for each app, as this view is often what I stare at trying to figure out why my backups are so large.
19. Since there were no notifications, I couldn't test those, but I hope the same pattern applies with links to the App Config being more useful than the external subdomain.
20. Mattermost App tile icon is almost entire invisible in dark mode, and completely invisible on mouseover :-0
