      Hi, I'm just getting started with Cloudron. It's great so far, but I have a couple questions. I've read the documentation, but don't see concrete answers to these.

      Question 1:
      I understand that apps can be backed up, moved, or restored as needed. I assume this would include the related MySQL database(s) for the app as well, is that correct? Just to confirm, if I have a WordPress app running, and I restore a backup of it on another server using Cloudron, the app files along with the full database would get restored, correct?

      Question 2:
      I hadn't planned on using the mailing list feature, but it may help us with another problem. Where is the information for mailing lists stored? MySQL or in the filesystem? We have an internal server housing approximately 8000 mailing lists that get automatically updated daily. If the mailing list configuration information is stored in a file in the filesystem, would it work to update that file daily as a way to update the mailing lists without having to do it via the GUI?

      Thanks in advance!!

        Correct.

        Not sure.

        But I don't think the internal mailing list features is meant to be used for large scale lists.

        You'd probably be better off look at Listmonk, Mailtrain or Mautic if you wanted to host those lists on Cloudron.

        I use Cloudron with Gandi & Hetzner

            Mailing lists are stored within the DB. There is no API function to configure mailing lists. AFAIK they can only configured via UI. Because Cloudrons mailing list feature does not support subscribe/unsubscribing, I don't think it's practical to use it on this scale.

            Cloudron can install Listmonk and Mailtrain, so perhaps your use case could be covered by one of those apps.

              I think the main thing is you are looking for subscribe/unsubscribe like mailmain, then Cloudron does not have that feature.
