What's coming in Cloudron 6.3
-
Just wanted to check in and see how 6.3 is coming along.
Any ETA by chance? I'm super excited for these email improvements many of us have been requesting, particularly the DNSBL checks; greylisting; blocklist & whitelist auto-updating/DNSWL; email autoexpunge; and not forwarding spam to mailing lists. I know that's a lot, lol.
I know many of them came from me, haha, so if you want to discuss any of them or want clarification on the requests, I'd be happy to help offer guidance or clarification.

@d19dotca Thanks for checking
We haven't gotten to the email part yet. I am fixing up the notification issues. Once I do that, I want to look into the wireguard/VPN thing before I get into email. @nebulon is working on the login history and I think that is mostly done. He is also working on the volume mounting (i.e will automatically setup fstab entries).I don't have an ETA, will have a better idea next week. It's been a bit slow this week. I had my pfeizer vaccine, yay and now the sideeffects are gone, so I can go back to being productive

I'm waiting like gold for this update, especially because Cloudron Mail is changing Mautic email configuration all time.
The Amazon SES-API and queue configuration that I have within Mautic is misconfigured every time the application restarts, updates, recovers ... it's frustrating.

@nebulon ah, I kind of thought that the proxyauth would use the very same mechanisms of the dashboard for authentication. But the dashboard being mainly driven by an api with token authentication that of course does not have to be true.
Totally understand that the same is not possible for apps that use ldap under the surface.

As a pre-requisite for Cloudron 7 multi-host feature, we have to move file system data into the database. Much grunt work to be done here.
A big chunk of this landed today. Certificates also need to be migrated to the database, that should be done tomorrow. Essentially, from the next release,
/home/yellowtent/boxdatawill only contain mail server data and nothing else since everything has moved to the database. I will probably take this opportunity to separate box backups and mail backups. The box backup is going to be just the mysql dump and nothing else. -

This is now done! Now the boxdata only contains the mysqldump and email.

Volumes - make mounting easier by automating fstab/exports entries
This is also mostly done. When adding a volume, you can choose the mount type
The current volumes are migrated as "no-op" mount type (as in, user managed the mount themselves). It shows the status of each volume as well:
One thing we decided to go with systemd mounts instead of /etc/fstab. This allows us to create mounts that have correct dependency with the unbound DNS server for CIFS and NFS mounts.
A similar mounting change will be done for the Backups view as well.

So what will happen to existing volumes that are already mounted using /etc/fstab?
-
@jdaviescoates I think instead of coming up with migration code, which will be a bit messy given the fstab format to correctly parse in all circumstances, I think we will ignore those and ask the admin to reconfigure the volume via the UI once. That way the admin can test and validate timely.

Just to be clear, if the admin takes no action will existing volumes keep working?
-
@jdaviescoates yes, the code does not touch existing mountpoints as such.

This looks wonderful! Loving this QoL changes.

@girish Please tell me 6.3 is coming down the pipe this week.
I'm so eager for it! Desperately needing some of these email improvements, specifically the most urgent for me is the ability to not forward email on to mailing lists if it's been identified as spam. The limitations currently are impacting the trust of my mail server by other systems like Gmail which is rate limiting my emails now because so much spam is forwarded on to a couple of Gmail addresses via the mailing list functionality. At least they're not outright blocking me, but that'd be the next logical step that I want to avoid!
