    Yeah, currently it is very basic but we will improve it as we go. Looks something like this:

    daa979e0-3d01-417c-a6be-568aac242b97-image.png

    Clicking on the files will help edit and save. The UI/layout will change the next few days.

      Hi All,
      Small change in plans for the Cloudron releases. Previously, we had announced that next release will be Cloudron 6. It turns out some of the features are in good shape already and we just want to get it out instead of waiting for everything to get done.

      So, there will be a 5.4 release, hopefully later this week, with the following features:

      • Dark mode for dashboard
      • File manager UI to edit the files inside apps. For the initial version, one can only view and edit the files under /app/data (i.e one cannot view the files in the read-only parts of the file system. this is because of some technical reasons)
      • Allow admin to lock email and display name globally. This essentially makes the LDAP directory non-editable by normal users.
      • Mandatory 2FA - this is new feature that wasn't announced as part of 5.4! This will require users to setup 2FA before accessing the dashboard.
      • We are moving nginx to latest upstream packages instead of ubuntu ones since they are lagging behind a lot.
      • Backblaze b2 provider - also new

      @girish Like it. Thanks! Faster incremental improvements for the user base rather than waiting longer for bigger changes. Good call!

          What is with darkmode? I see it shows in change logs for 5.4.0 and 5.4.1 but I see nothing yet on it.

            @toxicdorito Currently, Cloudron follows the OS setting. For example, https://www.howtogeek.com/360650/how-to-enable-dark-mode-for-google-chrome/

              This not really Cloudron related, as the Cloudron dark-mode uses https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/prefers-color-scheme but depending on which OS, in Firefox dark-mode can be forced by setting ui.systemUsesDarkTheme to 2 in about:config

                Ah! I actually have set everything to dark mode on my PC at home, just haven't been home yet. I will try that! Thanks!

                  Very much enjoying Cloudron with Dark Mode now 🙂

                  Just wish NodeBB would do the same 🙂

                    is boolean, so "2"?

                      that value should be a number

                        @Hillside502 In programming a boolean can also be shown as a number:

                        1 being TRUE
                        0 being FALSE

                        In this case, Firefox could be looking for 0, 1, or 2 to override this specific setting, 2 being FORCE dark theme.

                          Out of curiosity, what is the difference between 5.4 and 5.4.1? The release notes seem to be identical, unless I missed something.

                            @d19dotca There is a quirk in our "changelog" system. Let's say we are in release 5.3.4 right now. What we do is make a release 5.4.0 and release it to a bunch of people. Bugs are found. Then we release 5.4.1. The people directly updating from 5.3.4 to 5.4.1 need to see the full changelog since they never update to 5.4.0. So we copy/paste the changelog of 5.4.0 into 5.4.1 even though that is not the real changelog. People updating from 5.3.4 to 5.4.0 to 5.4.1 will see the same change log twice (like you did). Not ideal, but so far it's been low on our priority list to fix this since most people auto-update and don't really see the changelog at all.

                            The real change log for 5.4.1 is that it fixes crash in the File manager when you navigate a symlink.

                              @girish Okay that's fair, thanks Girish for that explanation. It'd definitely be nice for those changelogs to be more accurate but I can totally understand why you do it the way you do it now. All good. 🙂

                                    @Hillside502 Ah that explains why the value of 2 never worked for me till I changed system settings.
