    To give an update here, we sidetracked a bit and decided to modernize our codebase. Specifically, we moved from callback based programming to more modern async/await. Much of that work here is done, so we will post updates on features as we implement them.

      Great ! Honestly, that was long overdue ^^ I think it is a great time investment, as it will definitely speed up future developments significantly.

        A quick update on this. The "rewrite" is done and our CI tests pass, so we can now proceed to implement new features.

        Some changes that are already done:

        • For privacy, do not use Gravatar as default avatar option
        • wellknown: respond to .wellknown/matrix/client
        • Make new login email translatable
        • Require cloudron.io email to be verified to open support tickets
        • external ldap: If we detect a local user with the same username as found on LDAP/AD we map it
        • add basic eventlog for apps in app view
        • Enable sshfs/cifs/nfs in app import UI
        • Require password for fallback email change
        • Make password reset logic translatable
        • Logout users without 2FA when mandatory 2fa is enabled

          Operator role is now implemented. An admin can set user(s)/group(s) as app operator:

          a6385e1f-79ed-4f18-a4f1-511815e4fd4a-image.png

          The operator is then able to do app configuration and maintanence. They will see the gear icon on their dashboard:

          204e44a1-0569-4b96-91c5-e3aaa74a9bec-image.png

          Operator's app UI:

          f7a142a5-1740-4908-9b76-f26a81b35f49-image.png

          Note: An operator who is not an admin cannot uninstall an app, change it's location or clone it.

            @girish that's a very nice feature. I recently had to give a WordPress developer the admin role on our production Cloudron since he needed access to the logs/terminal/file browser. This will make this a lot easier for the future.

              @fbartels right, that's the exact use case this is for!

              Also, there is a breaking change with this. SFTP access is now moved to operators and the flag we had previously to allow non-admins to access SFTP is now gone.

                Added an Event Log section in the apps view.

                    Some email related changes:

                    • Email data is now viewable via the File manager (a new icon on the top right in the Email view).

                    0509d9f5-0d50-49aa-9af8-796abe705fa5-image.png

                    c81f707e-b5ca-40fc-8b25-7f5dc3a20afb-image.png

                    • Email data is stored separately from box data. A new mail.tar.gz (or mail directory in rsync mode) is created now at the top level. In theory, this makes it now possible to create backups, list backups and restore the Email data separately just like we have for apps. Maybe we will implement that in some future release as use cases arrive.

                    • Mailbox backup / restore - There is no special UI for this. But one can now "restore" a mailbox by just uploading old mailbox from a backup and uploading it into the new mailbox via the File manager UI. Mailboxes are in the "vmail" directory in the above screenshot.

                      Custom cron commands can be added per-app:

                      bc1001e9-c133-4039-ac38-6ba7379306f3-image.png

                      Output of commands will nicely appear merged in the app's log output:

                        @girish Great, that you added support for custom cron-commands. I currently have a "cloudron exec" running as cron-job outside of an app, just because I was missing exactly this feature 😉

                          There is now a "recovery" flag for the addon containers. It behaves similar to the app recovery mode. The addon container is put in read/write mode and will "sleep". One can then ssh and exec into the container to fix the database. It's fairly geeky but is needed when database becomes corrupt.

                            Only the email features are left now. Should be done hopefully this week.

                              Any ETA for 6.4? Wanting to test the migration issue defect that was identified in https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/5683/data-argument-must-be-of-type-received-null-error-during-restore-process when it’s ready. Would it be this week perhaps?

                                @d19dotca Don't have an ETA yet, but hoping to finish the features this week, then we can test next week. I replied in the other thread to follow up.

                                    @jdaviescoates yes. But for discourse, we also need pop support it seems.

                                        Impersonate user feature:

                                        You can click on the impersonate button (second button from left):

                                        This will create a temporary password that you can use to login to apps or the dashboard. This will help admins to pre-setup things on behalf of the user. Importantly, this does not reset the user's existing password, this is an alternate password.

                                          There's a link in the profile page now to send password reset request:
