If that's not clear then perhaps it's not for you.

Hint: Cloudron uses a RO filesystem for its apps.

The link is fairly hard to… read.

I know that Cloudron has read only parts - but this forum shouldn’t be a random link drop, though people sometimes treat it like that. At least if you want people to engage.

(the same is true for app wishlists - sure I could just drop https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted and say „I want“ but at least tell people why a certain project is worth investing efforts into and how it is better than its alternatives - this is not directed at you…).

(BTW that link in your signature: dude… a woman claiming cancer is caused by „the consciousness feeling out of control“? Advertising with Dr. Presser who is prohibited from practicing medicine or promoting medical products in his home country?)

Given the inclusion of EROFS in the Linux kernel and it making into Ubuntu, a few questions come to mind.

Among the features listed are compression and caching.

Hence the question is, what is the Cloudron configuration for EROFS and are we using the potential for caching and compression since we run so many containers based on an identical base image.

@girish is it defaults or thoughtful tuning?
