    @scooke Thanks alot of the guide! I was able to install it successfully this time. The issue seems to be that I was previously trying to install the files in a newly created /my-files/ folder vs in /public/. Things went smoothly thereafter and I have tweaked some of the settings to fit my use case.
    Have you been able to get email working? When I try to configure the smtp settings, the admin panel just hangs and the only way out is to restart the app.

    But overall the product is looking really good and lightning fast as you say! 😁

    Thanks again!

    @hakunamatata Good to hear. Are you using an email address whose domain is hosted on Cloudron, in which case I think you should be able to use the Email notifications box and enter your Cloudron-based email. Or something else, in which case you need to check the box for Use a SMTP server.

      @hakunamatata I just discovered that setting a Rule for email notifications is available only in the Enterprise Edition. Is that what you are running?

        @hakunamatata One last reply... I filled in the SMPT settings, and tested it, and it worked with my Cloudron settings, and I could save it, no hanging, BUT, it seems like it's useless anyway since I can't setup Notifications since I don't have the Enterprise edition. Sorry I can't help you with why your admin email panel hangs.

          @hakunamatata FileRun's owner Vlad took a look at packaging for Cloudron recently. Cloudron's update model and FileRun's update model are at cross roads , so it was decided to revisit publishing this to app store at a later date. For the moment, the best way is to deploy FileRun using the lamp app and manage FileRun updates from inside the app itself.

          Great, though I believe it should be reminded that this package is not open source and, AFAIK, seems to be running encrypted files on the server, plus the 'free' version runs only with limitations in number of users, which is only 3 plus 10 if you somehow ask for it, and features.

          I think it would also be a good idea to 'mark' in a way or another these type of apps from the repository so one knows in advance the software is not open source, and even when it uses encrypted files set.

          All IMHO, of course. Cheers!

            @scooke Silly me had entered the wrong port and the admin panel freezes instead of displaying an error. Seems like it may be a bug in Filerun. But everything is working for me now.
            I don't have an enterprise license, I am just evaluating the product.

            While I am overall quite impressed with Filerun, it is not open source as pointed out by @micmc so I am hesitant to committing to it just yet. My preference is always to put my money towards the development of FOSS projects when possible. I recently hired a developer full-time to work on some projects for me and I am considering having him help out with the development of Cubby during his "down time" or a certain number of hours per week, assuming he has the skillset. We shall see how this unfolds.

            Thanks again for your assistance with getting Filerun set-up!

              I gave this a shot in the LAMP app as well and have replaced my need for Nextcloud with Filerun.

              Since I don't have a need for any of Nextcloud's apps using Filerun just makes more sense. Filerun is compatible with the nextcloud mobile and desktop apps for file sync as well!

              So far it's much faster for that too - however there are no Nextcloud apps / plugins. (But I don't need them, like I said above so it's not a big deal to me.)

              If you need Nextcloud but only need to do file sync, and don't need apps, Filerun is really worthy of recommendation and consideration.

              Not sure how to package this for cloudron, but in the LAMP app it works as expected.

                  @robi The webdav server that filerun uses is compatible with Nextcloud's desktop and mobile apps (as in the sync tool for nextcloud, not the apps you install in nextcloud)

                    @murgero Got it, thanks, had a feeling that was webdav related!

                    That also means it should be easily mountable as a network drive in Windows/MacOS.

                      @robi Hopefully easier than Nextcloud for WebDav mounting too, as I still have an issue that makes it useless with Windows:

                          @marcusquinn So far it has not given me that issue (webdav issue you are having) - seems fine so far.

                                    @WiseMetalhead Oh I didn't even see those! I'd assume it works if you can install it

                                        @necrevistonnezr Yes, I noticed the same. Very snappy and a joy to use compared to similar interfaces. 😹

                                        I wondered if the dev used some neat tricks more devs could learn to use too.

                                          @robi Compared to other similar apps, I've always appreciated that I could easily install this one* because it is basically just a php app run on Apache. So many others have extra steps or software, like RoR for Redbooth (or whatever it was before), weird installs like using Dazzle with Sparkleshare, Pydio and it's own executables, NodeJS or Java apps which I could never get to run, or even a few whose names I forget that use Python (about which I would always, of course, forget about activating the env). The day I discovered FileRun, gave it a try, and it installed and ran was one of the happiest days of my life, superceded only when I discovered Cloudron.

                                          (*That said, I also like ResourceSpace though it's slower than FileRun.)
