Cloudron on a Raspberry pi?
-
Just to keep you guys updated on what's going on: I commented out unbound just to go through (and probably have to come back to it later, but still).
I also switched to installing nginx from the repos instead of downloading a specific package with curl manually, as their version is
arm64and it seems the rpi I'm on isarmhf, which I know nothing about but some nginx-arm64 dependencies were not being met.I switched node to the
armv7lpackage and it went ok.I switched docker packages to
armhf, they intalled okay, but it seems I don't have the overlay kernel module loaded and have NO IDEA how to load it heheh. A few google searches still got me kinda stuck, I'll try again tomorrow. -
Alright, so I learned how to load kernel modules, and the problem now is that the
/partition in this particular provider is over nfs, and overlay is not supported.So, as this is not a problem with cloudron on a rasberry pi, and is particular to this provider, I'm thinking of trying to change the docker driver tomorrow, just to see how far I can get to...

Hey, yall.
So my Raspberry Pi finally arrived, and I could start testing cloudron on it without the hassles I was having with the hosting company. So here are some thoughts and the current bump on the road I'm trying to overcome:
- I was able to install cloudron pretty easily with just a few changes to the
cloudron-setupscript itself, and toinitBaseImage.shandinstaller.shinside the cloudron package that is downloaded from the internet bycloudron-setup - The changes in
cloudron-setupwere just not upgrading the kernel (not installinglinux-generic, like I talked to @girish about earlier in this thread), and not downloading the cloudron package from the website, instead using my modified version so I coud change things and test. - The changes inside the package were pretty much just changing
amd64/x64strings toarm64in all the downloaded packages - Another important change is the boot part, where cloudron changes grub files, and I had to switch things to the
/boot/firmwarefiles - I was able to keep
unbounduntouched, I guess it was a problem with the hosting company
So that was what I had to do, and here are the things I'm currently thinking about this:
- It would be good to have the current architecture in a variable, say
arch, but there's a few questions to answer, like:- The rpi I was using in the hosting company was not
arm64architecture, butarmhf, I think. If there's different architectures for different models, we'd have to test it on others. I currently own an arm64 rpi 4 model B. - Some downloaded packages use
x64instead ofamd64in their names, and stuff likearmv7lfor armhf architecture, it seems. We'd have to map these package names to their architectures in a more explicit way, I think.
- The rpi I was using in the hosting company was not
- We'd have to extract the boot configuration (grub vs /boot/firmware confs) somewhere
I'm now facing ANOTHER problem, which is: it seems my ISP doesn't allow me to forward low ports like 80 and 443, so I can't really host cloudron from inside my home at the moment. I'm starting another thread asking for ideas with that, but I can't test cloudron apart from the installation process (which went smoothly all the way to the domain setup, but then I can't access it because of port forwarding restrictions).
So there it is, this is were I'm at currently regarding installing cloudron on an rpi, I'd greatly appreciate any input, thoughts, ideas, whatever you guys have.
Cheers!

That's fantastic news
I replied here about the port forwarding - https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/3324/testing-from-home-without-nat-port-forwarding-capability -
Stellar effort getting this far, @malvim! It’s sounds quite promising.
-
@malvim arm64 is only available on the rPi 4 as far as I recall.
armhf is for the previous models as they are 32bit ARM chips.It would be cool if both were supported and autodetected, but you should be aware of the arch differences between the different models.
-
@robi Yeah, I don't know much about the different architectures, and at present I don't have access to any earlier armhf model, so I'll keep pushing with what I have for now. Maybe if we can suport the arm64 rPi 4 to start, some modifications (like explicitly handling architecture information, different boot locations and whatnot) will help us deliver cloudron to other models more easily.

Just keeping everything relating to the rpi setup in this thread:
So I finished setting up, went to https://<ip> like
cloudron-setupsays, and started domain setup. As per the other thread, I set up my IP to the interface I'm using (wlan0). I'm using Amazon AWS as a domain provider, and set up the keys and such.So cloudron was able to create the DNS records (using a subdomain, like
pi.mydomain.com, which should - and does - create an A recordmy.pi.mydomain.compointing to my192.168internal IP).Afterwards, though, cloudron is never able to check for the records, as I cannot seem to resolve the
my.pidomain from inside the pi.Other stuff that happens:
sudoalways sayssudo: unable to resolve host ubuntu, even though it does change user to root no problem;ubuntuis the default hostname on a bare ubuntu 18.04 install on the pi;- I can
digother domains that are already hosted on my zone, and get corret responses.dig- ing for themy.pidomain either times out with a "no server could be reached" message, or, when I do it RIGHT AFTER a successfuldigto other domain, returns an "empty" response (with a line indicating 0 answers, like this:;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 1)
I'm a bit over my skill level on this, so if anyone could chime in, id'd be greatly appreciated. Either with an idea on what might be going on, or maybe something I could do/check/run to get mor info on what might be going on.
Thanks!

@malvim said in Cloudron on a Raspberry pi?:
sudo: unable to resolve host ubuntu
This is expected and has nothing to do with arm. To get over that you have to setup the hostname correctly. In your case the hostname is still set to the default
ubuntuwhereas following your example it has to bemy.pi.mydomain.com -
@nebulon huh, that makes sense, but I thought this was supposed to be done by cloudron during setup? I don’t remember having to manually set the hostname in any other cloudron setup before, but I might just have forgotten...
-
It looks like the blocking issue is the DNS does not work? Does
host my.pi.mydomain.comandhost my.pi.mydomain.com 127.0.0.1work on the pi? -
If there's nothing private in it; could you post your /etc/hosts file?
-
Yup, so I'm testing it again from scratch.
@jamesgallagher, here's the entire contents of my
/etc/hostsright after runningcloudron-setup, but before setting up the domain in the browser:127.0.0.1 localhost # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters ff02::3 ip6-allhosts@girish, the record is already there with the previous IP, and right now I'm just after
cloudron-setup, but beforesetupdns.htmlon the browser. I've ran a bunch of commands, here are the results:host my.pi.<mydomain.com>- not foundhost my.pi.<mydomain.com> 127.0.0.1- not foundhost www.google.com 127.0.0.1- ok (huh, unbound seems to be somewhat working)host code.<mydomain.com> 127.0.0.1(gitea instance on production cloudron) - OK!host my.<mydomain.com> 127.0.0.1(production cloudron admin) - NOT FOUND! (wat?)
And I ran
host my.pi.<mydomain.com>on my local machine, outside the pi, and it works and returns the old record (192.168.0.109from my previous attempt).I'm now setting up DNS in the browser, just to check what happens, I'll re-run the commands and post here.

Okay, so some weird stuff seems to be going on with the DNS lookup thing, I think. Here's what happened after running cloudron domain setup (
setupdns.htmlon the browser):I ran it pointing to a subdomain of my domain (
pi.<mydomain.com>), and pinted it to a network interface (wlan0, in this pi's case), as @girish suggested. So I'm tailing/home/yellowtent/platformdata/logs/box.log, and here's what I see:2020-10-07T23:43:30.489Z box:dns/waitfordns waitForDns (try 20): my.pi.<mydomain.com> to be 192.168.0.6 in zone <mydomain.com> 2020-10-07T23:43:30.497Z box:dns/waitfordns resolveIp: Checking if my.pi.<mydomain.com> has A record at 205.251.196.70 2020-10-07T23:43:30.498Z box:dns/waitfordns resolveIp: Checking if my.pi.<mydomain.com> has A record at 205.251.199.85 2020-10-07T23:43:30.500Z box:dns/waitfordns resolveIp: Checking if my.pi.<mydomain.com> has A record at 205.251.192.234 2020-10-07T23:43:30.501Z box:dns/waitfordns resolveIp: Checking if my.pi.<mydomain.com> has A record at 205.251.195.139 2020-10-07T23:43:35.499Z box:dns/waitfordns resolveIp: Checking if my.pi.<mydomain.com> has CNAME record at 205.251.196.70 2020-10-07T23:43:35.501Z box:dns/waitfordns resolveIp: Checking if my.pi.<mydomain.com> has CNAME record at 205.251.199.85 2020-10-07T23:43:35.503Z box:dns/waitfordns resolveIp: Checking if my.pi.<mydomain.com> has CNAME record at 205.251.192.234 2020-10-07T23:43:35.504Z box:dns/waitfordns resolveIp: Checking if my.pi.<mydomain.com> has CNAME record at 205.251.195.139 2020-10-07T23:43:35.516Z box:dns/waitfordns isChangeSynced: NS ns-1094.awsdns-08.org (205.251.196.70) errored when resolve my.pi.<mydomain.com> (A): Error: queryCname ENODATA my.pi.<mydomain.com> 2020-10-07T23:43:35.516Z box:dns/waitfordns waitForDns: my.pi.<mydomain.com> not done ns: ["ns-1094.awsdns-08.org","ns-1877.awsdns-42.co.uk","ns-234.awsdns-29.com","ns-907.awsdns-49.net"] 2020-10-07T23:43:35.525Z box:dns/waitfordns isChangeSynced: NS ns-1877.awsdns-42.co.uk (205.251.199.85) errored when resolve my.pi.<mydomain.com> (A): Error: queryCname ENODATA my.pi.<mydomain.com> 2020-10-07T23:43:35.629Z box:dns/waitfordns isChangeSynced: NS ns-234.awsdns-29.com (205.251.192.234) errored when resolve my.pi.<mydomain.com> (A): Error: queryCname ENODATA my.pi.<mydomain.com> 2020-10-07T23:43:35.635Z box:dns/waitfordns isChangeSynced: NS ns-907.awsdns-49.net (205.251.195.139) errored when resolve my.pi.<mydomain.com> (A): Error: queryCname ENODATA my.pi.<mydomain.com>So I go to my LOCAL machine to check the records:

EVEN ON MY LOCAL MACHINE! I have no idea what might be going on. Then, going back to the pi:
$ host my.pi.<mydomain.com> ns-1094.awsdns-08.org Using domain server: Name: ns-1094.awsdns-08.org Address: 2600:9000:5304:4600::1#53 Aliases: my.pi.<mydomain.com> has address 192.168.0.6 $ host my.pi.<mydomain.com> 205.251.196.70 ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached $ host my.pi.<mydomain.com> 127.0.0.1 ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached $ host my.pi.<mydomain.com> localhost ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reachedSo... Yeah, this is where I'm at right now. Totally at a loss hahah! NO IDEA what might possibly be going on now...

@malvim Check the unbound logs maybe? I think in
journalctl -u unbound -
@girish meh, I can't see anything wrong

-
I'd love to test it on another network, but can't really go anywhere else right now...
-
So I found this code in
start.sh:echo "==> Setting up unbound" # DO uses Google nameservers by default. This causes RBL queries to fail (host 2.0.0.127.zen.spamhaus.org) # We do not use dnsmasq because it is not a recursive resolver and defaults to the value in the interfaces file (which is Google DNS!) # We listen on 0.0.0.0 because there is no way control ordering of docker (which creates the 172.18.0.0/16) and unbound # If IP6 is not enabled, dns queries seem to fail on some hosts. -s returns false if file missing or 0 size ip6=$([[ -s /proc/net/if_inet6 ]] && echo "yes" || echo "no") cp -f "${script_dir}/start/unbound.conf" /etc/unbound/unbound.conf.d/cloudron-network.confIt says unbound sometimes doesn't resolve names if ipv6 is not enabled? I had it enabled, and then disabled it thinking it might pose problems... The code seems to just set ip6 variable and nothing else, not sure whether this might be related to the problems I'm having or not.
-
@malvim I don't think IPv6 is the issue. IIRC, unbound won't even start without that flag. In your case, unbound is running.
So, I would debug this step by step: First, is DNS working at all? You can do
host my.pi.domain.com 8.8.8.8. This uses Google DNS and skips unbound altogether. Does this work? If not, we have to fix this first. Are you able to run the above command on other machines on the same network as the PI? -
@girish said in Cloudron on a Raspberry pi?:
I'm in the middle of running installation without unbound, and everything worked. I'll re-run it now with unbound again, but
host my.pi.domain.comdoes NOT work from any machine inside my home network, and does work from my main cloudron server, so I think there's more to debug here, unfortunately.
host my.pi.domain.comDOES work from my local machine, but not using Google's server, which is kind of weird.I guess I'll have to solve this issue (maybe with my ISP?) before proceeding with cloudron on the pi. Sucks.
-
Okay, so this was related to my ISP. After a few calls with tech support and buying a new router, DNS issues are gone and I was able to install cloudron from start to finish!
Now I ssh into the pi and, as expected, the first containers (mysql, turn, sftp, graphite) are continuosly restarting, since they're installed from the production amd64 images which won't work.
So now I'm thinking I'll just clone, say, the mysql addon (from
https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/mysql-addon.git), try to build it for the pi, publish the image on my repo and try to use it, see if mysql works, and go from there. I'll try to do that tonight and get back to you guys.What do you guys say? @girish ? Is that the right path to start on?
Baby steps.
-
@malvim w00t, awesome progress. If you can create a branch of your box changes, that will help others as well. Yes, starting with one of the addon containers is a good start. They all have automatic tests, it's easy to run them as well.
-
Ah, just noticed I might need a new cloudron baseimage, right? Hahah! This is gonna be fun
-
Hey,
So I'm building
docker-base-imageand the other initial docker containers, but I can't seem to find them on cloudron's git repo.I found this code in
infra_version.js:'images': { 'turn': { repo: 'cloudron/turn', tag: 'cloudron/turn:1.1.0@sha256:e1dd22aa6eef5beb7339834b200a8bb787ffc2264ce11139857a054108fefb4f' }, 'mysql': { repo: 'cloudron/mysql', tag: 'cloudron/mysql:2.3.1@sha256:c1145d43c8a912fe6f5a5629a4052454a4aa6f23391c1efbffeec9d12d72a256' }, 'postgresql': { repo: 'cloudron/postgresql', tag: 'cloudron/postgresql:3.1.0@sha256:261c38d332a20cd4160930d7395fd342496159e94c522d92fde8163c680adc98' }, 'mongodb': { repo: 'cloudron/mongodb', tag: 'cloudron/mongodb:3.0.0@sha256:59e50b1f55e433ffdf6d678f8c658812b4119f631db8325572a52ee40d3bc562' }, 'redis': { repo: 'cloudron/redis', tag: 'cloudron/redis:2.3.0@sha256:0e31ec817e235b1814c04af97b1e7cf0053384aca2569570ce92bef0d95e94d2' }, 'mail': { repo: 'cloudron/mail', tag: 'cloudron/mail:2.10.0@sha256:3aff92bfc85d6ca3cc6fc381c8a89625d2af95cc55ed2db692ef4e483e600372' }, 'graphite': { repo: 'cloudron/graphite', tag: 'cloudron/graphite:2.3.0@sha256:b7bc1ca4f4d0603a01369a689129aa273a938ce195fe43d00d42f4f2d5212f50' }, 'sftp': { repo: 'cloudron/sftp', tag: 'cloudron/sftp:2.0.2@sha256:cbd604eaa970c99ba5c4c2e7984929668e05de824172f880e8c576b2fb7c976d' } }And I could find the database addons (

mysql-addonon top of my arm64 base image, but can't seem to find the others in order to keep going. Are these Dockerfiles somewhere else we have access to? -
@malvim said in Cloudron on a Raspberry pi?:
Thanks for the replies, guys. I'll take a stab at it, tomorrow or on Friday, and see what it looks like.
I honestly had about 0 confidence that we could go from there to :
@malvim said in Cloudron on a Raspberry pi?:
I was able to install cloudron from start to finish!
in like a month...
Hat's off
-
The mysql-addon repo is at https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/mysql-addon and according to that repo naming convention also the others.
The sftp addon is at https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/docker-sftp (not sure why that repo name ended up like it is)
On a side topic, does anyone know of some good naming convention for docker images when it comes to supporting multi-arch?
For example:
cloudron/mysql-amd64:2.3.1(amd64)
cloudron/mysql-arm64:2.3.1(arm64) -
@nebulon said in Cloudron on a Raspberry pi?:
On a side topic, does anyone know of some good naming convention for docker images when it comes to supporting multi-arch?
I think the preferred way is to not have the architecture in the name or tag, but rather populate the manifest properly: https://www.docker.com/blog/multi-arch-build-and-images-the-simple-way/
-
@malvim we build images manually using docker build and push them out. When building you have to tag it locally as cloudron/mysqladdontest (just
docker build -t cloudron/mysqladdontest.). Do the tests work? -
@nebulon thanks! I was able to find most of them, but still missing graphite, turn and mail. Are those regular docker containers as well, and if so, are their dockerfiles published on git.cloudron? A search for those terms did not yield any meaningfule results for me.
On your side topic: I went looking for the arm64 version of the base ubuntu image, and it's published as multi-platform, so I guess there's no need to publish under another name, like @fbartels already answered. What I did have to do, though, was to strip the sha256 hash from the
FROMstatement. When I tried building on the rpi keeping the hash, docker selected the amd64 version of the image. Not sure how we'd go about making sure the image passes the integrity check (which I assume is why the has is there in the first place) while also being able to build for different architectures.@mehdi Man, I appreciate it! It was almost about a month just to get my hands on one, then weird networking stuff, trying to sneak in a few hours of banging on this problem in between work... Haha! A lot of fun though! So thanks for the kudos, they're highly appreciated, especially coming from you!
@girish yeah, I'm publishing to a private docker container (which I packaged together with verdaccio in a custom app just to have docker and npm private registers haha), so that part is good, I'm tagging them pointing to it and it's all good.
Haven't run the tests yet, though.
-
Okay, so another question: Do we depend on mongodb being 4.0, or can we upgrade it to 4.2?
It seems mongodb 4.0 on arm64 only has support for ubuntu 16.04 (as per https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/administration/production-notes/)
-
https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/turn-addon is the turn addon and https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/docker-graphite/ is graphite (the names are a bit here and there). The mail server is not open, I have sent you an invite though.
-
@girish Thanks, I'll check them out!
-
@malvim said in Cloudron on a Raspberry pi?:
Okay, so another question: Do we depend on mongodb being 4.0, or can we upgrade it to 4.2?
yeah, we can bump it. But it requires the usual round of testing against all apps.
-
@girish Cool. I'll bump it to 4.2 (4.4 needs ubuntu 20.04) and keep pushing hehehe. I'll ping people here when I have something we can run tests on.
-
@malvim Are you using buildx? We bumped 5.6.2 to have docker 19 so we can have buildx
-
@girish Not yet, I tried installing it for cross-platform building, but had some errors and didn't want to waste time, so I'm now just building the images from the pi itself. Later today I might have to start using it again for installing cloudron, so that might become enought of a hassle that I try again.
Anyone here with experience building for other architectures using buildx?
-
Hey, all.
Happy to say this is now going on on my raspberry pi:
I have NO idea wheter stuff is really working hahaha.
I'll probably choose a simple app and build it for arm64, then try to install it from command line and run tests, maybe?Not sure how to run tests against addons, or even apps. Is there some documentation around about this? @girish, could you point me somewhere? Thanks!
-
@malvim Wow, that's some incredible progress! If the status indicator is green, it's pretty sure that the addon containers are responding to health checks!
For the test for the addons, there is a test/ inside the repo of each addon. You can just do
npm installandnpm test. -
To be clearer, like this (say with postgres addon). The tests will always test the latest
cloudron/{addonname}testimage.$ docker build -t cloudron/postgresqladdontest . $ cd test $ npm install # only have to do this once $ npm test > postgresql-addon@1.0.0 test /home/girish/yellowtent/postgresql-addon > mocha --bail ./test/test.js Postgresql Addon Error response from daemon: network with name cloudron already exists auth ✓ fails without access_token ✓ fails with invalid access_token ✓ succeeds add database ✓ succeeds (410ms) ✓ succeeds when added again remove database ✓ succeeds (140ms) use the database ✓ can create extension (49ms) ✓ can create table foo ✓ can insert into table foo ✓ can read from table foo ✓ restart (5241ms) ✓ can read from table foo backup and restore ✓ succeeds to create backup (392ms) ✓ succeeds to create new database (422ms) ✓ succeeds to clear new database (449ms) ✓ succeeds to restore backup (875ms) ✓ succeeds to check restore data (47ms) restore of invalid dump fails ✓ succeeds to create backup (175ms) ✓ succeeds to clear new database (434ms) ✓ fails to restore backup (174ms) restore of existing dump ✓ succeeds (1895ms) 21 passing (35s) -
@malvim Our e2e tests use this app - https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/test-app . You can just build it like any other app and deploy it on Cloudron.

Hey, @girish!
So I was trying to run the tests on the raspberry pi, had some failures, but they're also failing on my regular amd64 laptop with ubuntu, so I'm not sure what's going on.
I tried specifically the postgresql addon like you mentioned, with no changes, the
authandadd databasetests pass, but I always get a timeout on theremove databasetest, every time. Mail and sftp addon also fail at different points, so I'm not trusting the failed tests on the rpi.I thought about trying to run the tests on my production cloudron server, but not sure I should.
Have you ever been through this?
-
I think ARM is the future so I'll be following this thread, love what I'm reading so far. Good stuff.
@malvim But if your test is failing on x86 and ARM, it probably isn't a CPU related issue IMO.
-
@Lonk Yup, those are my thoughts as well. The thing is, it seems the devs are able to run the tests themselves, so it seems there are no obvious problems anywhere heheh.
-
Okay, so I ran the tests on my production cloudron and they all passed. It seems they don't run on a regular machine previously to installing cloudron? Is that true? And SHOULD they? Maybe I'm testing it wrong heheh.
But it would be nice if we could just run the tests outside of any cloudron installation, so I could test the images themselves, separately, on arm64 before going with another full install.
What do you guys say?

Your steps for testing it on local are different right? Since production is already running. What are your testing steps in each scenario?

I'd say that's possible. We could just use Docker itself? That's what I do locally.
Anyway, what Rasberry Pi are you developing this on? I'll go run out and get one to see if I run into similar issues.
️ Very interested in Cloudron on ARM in 2030! -

Yeah, I'm doing what @girish outlined in his latest response in this thread: clone an addon repo,
docker buildthe image tagging it with whatever name the test runner uses (cloudron/postgresqladdontestin this case),npm installandnpm test.It turns out I'm getting failures in all that I've tried so far, so I don't feel comfortable saying I "have successfully built the images" when I can't run the tests. But I can't run them on my laptop as well, so who knows? Haha!

️ Very interested in Cloudron on ARM in 2030!I had never played with one till this year, they're fun! I got the latest model, the Raspberry Pi 4. Powerful little thing! It'd be great to have another pair of hands on this.
-
@malvim We never run tests on the Cloudron itself, only on the laptop! Can you give the output of the
npm testcommand? What is the error? -
@malvim Well, consider yourself not alone in this endeavor! I'd love to help and am very interested in porting this to arm. Depends on the number of dependencies from the base image as well as Cloudron itself.
I'll post back here when I get my Raspberry Pi; I'm excited!

This is the output, and it just hangs after that and never exits. This happens on my laptop and on another machine I used for testing purposes. On my Cloudron, these tests passed and only the last one failed, the backup/restore one iirc.

It's really not. This happens because the test always tries to remove the currentl running postgresql container before running the tests, so the first time you run, the container is not running and you get this message. Still runs the tests and some of them work.
-
@malvim ok thanks, otherwise it looks like it's missing
..which would partially explain the timeout..

Is there anything in
docker logs -f postgresql? -
Is it getting the token last when it should be getting it first in
auth? I've gotta re-read this whole thread cause I'm missing what this unit test even is supposed to prove. That one module could run in a Cloudron environment? -

So, could anyone here just try and run tests for addons on their machines, without any cloudron-related stuff, then just clone an addon and try to test it?
I've ran tests on my laptop, and on a server I have access to that doesn't run cloudron, and both of them time out in the same place.
DON'T RUN this tests on your production cloudron like I did, it will delete and recreate your postgresql (or whatever addon you're trying to use) and apps will go down heheh. I had to restore a couple of apps' backups, but it's all good now.
-
@malvim Maybe you can try to see if the mysql addon tests work in the meantime?
I ran the postgresl tests now and it did work for me:

Hey, @girish
Mysql addon tests run perfectly on all three machines (laptop, server, pi)!
I'm having failing tests on mail and sftp addons, and this hanging problem with postgresql. All behaviors are the same on the three machines, which is a... good thing, I guess? Haha! I'll try the others and see where they go.
Couldn't download graphite, though, says I don't have permission rights.
-
@malvim The mail tests are kind of hard to run, they also require a special setup with DNS/Docker. We can skip that for now. Mongo and redis tests work too? That's really good progress then. Can you tell me what you face with the sftp addon? You might need the latest "build" of sftp since I really just fixed the test 2-3 days ago.
