What's coming in Cloudron 9.0 (was 8.0)

[girish]

@avatar1024 Ah yes, I will add it to the 7.2 list. We are rewriting the backup code to use async/await, it will make it easier to integrate newer backends like restic in the release after that. In the past, I was a bit wary of adding more backends but I wasn't sure how stable they were. But it seems, storage players like https://www.rsync.net/ support them, so they are probably quite stable.

I wanted to ask something about multihosting in relation to Cloudron licenses.

I will give you an example: the main server has a Cloudron premium license. Two more servers have a free Cloudron license.

Could I control the applications on the free servers from the main server? Domains, apps, backups, emails...

@girish Can you tell me something about this I wrote one month along? Thank you

(e.g. this one on my side)

Same here, restic support could be a great idea for backups as an alternative to rsync.

[girish]

@mdreira Currently, that is not possible. This is what "multi-host" cloudron intends to solve. It will take us a while to get there.

We would love to see the following:

• TURN server support for jitsi (to enable enterprise calls over 443)
• Well Known support - to enable arbitrary well-known configs (not just a predefined list)

I think the OP needs an update with the 7.x series of changes and more 8.x features.

I'm wating anciosly the addon for rabbitmq

[girish]

@matbrgz Given that very no app needs rabbitmq at this point, it's easiest to integrate this into the app itself using supervisor.

For Cloudron multi-host, it may be useful to have the DB data model as a local first concept, then sync with edge nodes.

VLCN does this as an open-source library for state management and sync.

VLCN augments SQLite, giving it the power to merge changes from other peers, notify your application of changes, and traverse remote datasets.

When is this version coming I am excited for the multi host feature.

[girish]

@Thedurancode right... This post is already quite a bit old. We are currently working on 7.4 - https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/8269/what-s-coming-in-7-4 . TBH, I am not sure when we will work on this. We have been removing features from 8.0 and implementing them into more immediate releases.

@girish you guys are awesome! keep up the great work!

Is it possible to move the multihost feature to 7.4?

[jayonrails]

@AniTexs No, because 7.4 is already outdated.

(7.4) Implement LDAP+2FA across apps - See https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/-/issues/705 .

We deprecated this in favor of OIDC support. OIDC support with automatically bring in 2FA in a more portable, user friendly and robust way.

[girish]

This pretty much only leaves multi-host for 8.0

[Lonkle]

@girish And maybe this. https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/4473/event-to-webhooks

[AniTexs]

@girish Is there an ETA for 8.0 ?
Really looking forward to it.
I want to integrate it to our webhost as multihost is the only thing holding us back

[girish]

@AniTexs multi-host will take quite a bit. Our immediate release is 7.5 first - https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/9180/what-s-coming-in-7-5 . We have no time line for 8.0 really.

@girish Please take a look at https://github.com/libsql/sqld which looks perfect for keeping multicloudron features in sync across systems.

It's from OSS libSQL which is a fork of SQLite which doesn't accept improvements easily.

It also enables automatic replication to S3 storage, ie. run sqld with --enable-bottomless-replication parameter.

Lots of goodies!
