What's coming in 7.5

[nebulon]

We will announce it here and in the forum as always. Currently, we have started the end-to-end test phase, lets see what those tests find.

I have published 7.5.0 as unstable. It should be safe to be update but if you want to be ultra safe , I would wait a couple of days. The release upgrades docker so all apps will go down for a teeny bit.

Most of the features are not implemented yet, just getting this out for redis 7 . Discourse, Chatwoot and a few others depend on this and we didn't want to lag behind on app updates too much.

IMPORTANT: Do not upgrade if you are on Ubuntu 18.04. Turns out latest nodejs builds don't work on Ubuntu 18.04 - https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/42351 . If you want to upgrade, please update ubuntu first - https://docs.cloudron.io/guides/upgrade-ubuntu-20/ . We will put in a check in 7.5.1 to show a proper error.

I report a problem with Bunny.net

During a new installation (7.5.0) an error appears.

After the initial configuration, I changed from Manual to Bunny and it works without a problem.

network: trusted IPs

@girish I see that 7.5.0 has this in the changelog, does this mean that it'll now support a Nginx Proxy Manager in front of Cloudron? 🥳

[girish]

@alwynispat AFAIK, having a proxy in front should already work. What this does is to trust the IP address that is set by the proxy in front (X-Forwarded-For).

I see 7.5.0 is out now, I just got the notification. I’ll look to update tonight. I was curious… I see spam learning being a topic in 7.5 but it wasn’t in the release notes of 7.5.0 that I saw. Is that coming later in another patch release or was that indeed addressed in 7.5.0?

[girish]

@d19dotca most of the features are not done. Only the mail privacy issue, oidc fixes ,redis 7 upgrade is done . We pushed this early since redis and oidc updates were blocking many apps.

I wonder - how good is 7.5 for production use? I can see that some of my instances are not updated automatically and I guess it's because it's not considered to be good for all use cases?

[girish]

7.5.0 is primarily out for people blocked on discourse and chatwoot. I would wait for a couple of weeks for 7.5.1 which will have many of the features implemented.

[potemkin_ai]

@girish thank you! If I don't use discource & chatwoot, everything else is expected to be fine? Or not really?

@girish said in What's coming in 7.5:

Add optional flag for turn addon.

This is implemented now - redis and turn can be optional (depending on the app).

@girish said in What's coming in 7.5:

Add check to indicate that Cloudron 7.6 will not support servers without AVX. This is required for MongoDB 6.0

This was added a while ago - https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/-/commit/df54ba3a0a7cadc5dff47da50915235a6166f860

The turn option is huge, thank you! I cannot wait to implement it. Is it in the 7.5.0 pre-release?

[humptydumpty]

@eganonoa I'm on 7.5.0 and don't have those options yet. It must be in 7.5.1 that's coming in the next week or the 7.6 release (no ETA yet).

@girish said in What's coming in 7.5:

(mail) Virtual all directory in dovecot for search

This is implemented now. You can read the blog post on our investigation at https://blog.cloudron.io/email-search-in-mail-clients/ . If you use any other email clients, let me know happy to add it to that blog.

Nice write up!

[swheeler78]

When will 7.5 be considered GA / stable? Been out for a couple of weeks now but still says pre-release.

[girish]

@swheeler78 the code went through a major rewrite, so we are giving it more time. Our e2e passed yesterday, we will do a round of manual testing coming week and release 7.5.1 as stable.

[swheeler78]

So, does this mean that 7.5.1 will replace 7.5 or will I still need to upgrade to 7.5 first? Thanks for everythign in advance.
