What's coming in 8.2

@marcusquinn - yes, a huge vote for that. I think this was referenced before in a feature request too if I recall correctly. It is very annoying when I need to quickly restart an app and my system backup happens to be running preventing me from doing a quick task. I usually just get around this by backing up in the middle of the night but sometimes I want to also do a system backup in the afternoon but on my system it takes nearly 1.5 hours for a backup to complete so then in that time I’m forbidden from restarting an app for example which is quite annoying. Would love to see multi tasking for that.

Sorry I'm sure this has been discussed but has the plan been dropped to have a unified dashboard across several instances?

@avatar1024 we have to revisit this when we plan for 9.0 . currently, we focus on 8.0 - https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/11531/what-s-coming-in-8-0

Sure, I just wondered as it wasn't listed in the list at the top of this thread.

@avatar1024 ah good point, fixed the top post.

Add Hetzner Storage Box backend (based on rsync)

This seems to be very interesting feature...

Waiting also for native multiple backup locations ️

Is there much chance of Cloudron 9.0 being available in September, when we can expect Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS to be completed?

The storage box and multiple location backup options will be nice.

Multiple Backup Destinations

This is dope, can't wait to integrate this in our backup process !

[chymian]

allow for subvolume-level app-install (maybe via hook-scripts) on btrfs or zfs, so one can make subvolume-level incremental backus, which would be a massive timesaver and SOTA solution.

[girish]

Sorry for a small confusion: we have made a 8.1 available as unstable now to fix many of the regressions in 8.0. We could not make it a patch release of 8.0 because it also introduces some features like OIDC groups, Gandi PAT support, Hetzner Object Storage etc. Nothing major but we are still forced by semver to make a "feature" release and thus 8.1

Add sqlite3 addon

This is implemented now (for 8.2). https://docs.cloudron.io/packaging/addons/#sqlite .

[firmansi]

Is there any update for the ETA of this version?

[girish]

@firmansi no ETA, we are implementing them one by one.

Don't run du for small disks (see)

I have added a mechanism to skip running du . The code now looks for a /home/yellowtent/platformdata/diskusage/exclude file. This file can contain one filesystem (as listed in the first column of df output) per line. du for these filesystems is skipped.

Mail attachment search

This is now implemented with Tika support in the mail server.

@girish said in What's coming in 8.2:

Branding of OIDC button

Implemented in https://git.cloudron.io/platform/box/-/commit/872705d58d3146ec6b6a5ac5aed6adbe9e245ab9 . The Cloudron name is used as the OIDC provider name as well. The apps will be adjusted one by one to make use of this new environment variable CLOUDRON_OIDC_PROVIDER_NAME

@girish said in What's coming in 8.2:

VM mode for apps?

We will re-evaluate this in some future release. For the moment, this is out of scope. It's too complicated to implement a VM like system that allow readwrite containers and further allow users to define backup directories, services, exposed ports etc. We will stick to pre-packaged apps for the moment.

[humptydumpty]

@girish how’s it going with multiple backup destinations? I’m really looking forward to this.

[firmansi]

@girish is there gonna be any feature to backup email separately

[girish]

@firmansi internally, email is already backed up separately. You will find mail.tar.gz in your backups, for example. Or are you thinking of something else?

[firmansi]

@girish well...i mean to back up differently (independent backup), currently, correct me if i am wrong, the backups involve the applications backup, so it turns out if i only want to backup email, i have to backup the app first then uninstall apps then back up cloudron along with the the email.
