    We had filerun already as a package, even built from the upstream developer, but since it got never updated we had to remove it for the time being.

    I see.

    @nebulon said in Filerun - Self-Hosted File Sync and Sharing:

    since it got never updated

    Do you refer to the codebase of the app or to the Cloudron package?

    The app package. The upstream author didn't show much interest in keeping it up-to-date and it wasn't easily possible for us to do so. Which is fine, but disqualifies it to some extent from being supported by Cloudron, as apps sometimes also have to be re-built for critical base system updates for example.

    Looks interesting as a lightweight Nextcloud / Google Photos alternative:

    See what you mean about activity though:

    • https://github.com/filerun/docker

    @marcusquinn AFAIK FileRun is not open source and the free version is somehow crippled. Free version is limited to 3 users and directory (LDAP) authentication seems to be missing --> https://filerun.com/enterprise. Even if I would prefer a leaner nextcloud that really only takes care of files and sharing, Filerun does not seem to be a good starting point.

    @subven I’m also looking for a leaner Nextcloud. Ping me if you find it, will you? šŸ™‚

    @yusf sftp? šŸ˜‚

    Gitea & https://www.sparkleshare.org/ may also be an option.

    There seem to be some major updates, including a 10 user free version.

    @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.

    @girish Thanks for the info. I will try to install it in the LAMP app, although I fear it is probably above my competency level. Either way, I will give it my best shot.

    @hakunamatata If you're able to install Cloudron, then this should be fine. There is the small step of installing Ioncube, but it's possible. Filerun has actually been one of the easiest to use php apps for me over the years. You can add files through SFTP and Terminal and the software will still see the new files and recatalogue. Updates are automatic and basically seamless. A few versions ago there was some glitch, but ever since, upgrading from within the app (no need to move/replace current files/folders with the new ones, like Moodle or Sendy) is as smooth as butter. I really like it. I do use it on it's own VPS though, just so it can use the whole server.

    @scooke Thanks for the encouragement. I tried following the instructions here (both option 1 and option 2) but without success. šŸ˜ž

    alt text

    Regarding Ioncube, the Cloudron docs say it comes installed with the LAMP app... or is this not the case?

    @hakunamatata I just gave it a try and it went smooth as butter.

    I used method 1 from https://docs.filerun.com/install_on_php#upload_to_your_server. (I've never used this method, I usually just upload the zip to my server, then move the contents to its webserver directory, but since this is Cloudron and Docker, I thought I'd try this method since it's all through the built-in SFTP and browser.)

    I downloaded the Filerun.zip (and renamed it to FileRun.zip), as well as that other file, unzip.php, which, as far as I can tell, is not nefarious.

    I uploaded both to the public directory on the LAMP app (/app/data/public), which you can navigate to using the Menu in the apps window in Cloudron:
    3d606626-09c1-4ba4-bc74-a5523bd25edc-image.png

    You will need to delete or rename the existing index.php.

    Two spots where you may have gone wrong:

    1. I used a regular domain, as you can see in the screenshot. I did not make a folder in which to place the FileRun zip nor files. So, my FileRun is running in the root of the domain. So when I ran the command to install, it was https://filerun.example.com/unzip.php.

    The installation went smooth, using the DB info found First Time Setup, in the apps dashboard:
    5d34b1f8-29a3-47dd-8aea-ec7bc3833172-image.png

    1. The second place you may go wrong (as I have plenty of times) is that whereas MySQL DBs are often located at 'localhost', on Cloudron they are usually at "mysql". So, when FileRun is asking for the DB info, replace localhost with mysql.

    Everything installed fine, and the final step is a pop-up giving you the superuser name and password. Copy that!!!!

    Login, and the app prompts for the first superuser's data directory. I just chose /app/data/filerun, and pressed, "Create" in the dialogue. The 'dialogue' I mention is a series of pop-up walk-throughs, so read them carefully. Once you've made the data directory, you're gold.

    Where do you think things didn't work for you?

    EDIT: I gotta say, this is super speedy on my server, too!!
    EDIT 2: I've turned off the app for now, too.

    @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.
