Cloudron Forum

@girish nooooo...

Thanks for the update and all you fine folks do.

@girish et al what happened to the Wireguard app? :pleadingface:

Re. https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/9180/what-s-coming-in-7-5/2?_=1694469098213

@girish I did, yep.

axel@my:~$ cat /etc/passwd |grep yellowtent
yellowtent:x:998:998:Cloudron Box:/home/yellowtent:/usr/sbin/nologin

@girish oh my! The memory is not what it used to be

I guest there is not much demand for this feature

Yep, but it failed. I tried with CIFS and it worked first time, so I hence it might be an SSHFS oddity?

Hi gang,

I want to move my Cloudron email onto the premises and use a third-party MX service like Spam Hero, which will route de-spammed emails to my mail server.

This works quite well, but occasionally Cloudron sets up the DNS records for email again and overrides the external MX server entries.

It also keeps showing an error, which, as far as it is concerned, is valid yet annoying

And finally, I would like only to accept mail from Spam Heroes IP ranges to avoid anyone coming directly during port snooping. Perhaps that's my pfSense job, though and not Cloudron's.

Is there a way to tell Cloudron everything is fine and stop overriding things?

Thanks Michael. Yes, I was able to peruse the folder via CLI as normal. Just Cloudron didn't want to know about it.

All good though as just testing.

I like to think of interesting edge cases to keep @nebulon and @girish from getting bored

Either that or just entertainment thanks to dumb user error

PS: It works fine if I try to restore using CIFS mount.

• On my remote box, I have backed up a Cloudron via SSHFS to my NAS
• I am now on the local network, trying a test restore by mounting the NAS share locally using SSHFS.
• Cloudron restore.html always says it cannot read, which is odd, considering it has full access.
• What am I doing wrong?

Steps to replicate:

1. Create a backup on the source Cloudron using SSHFS to a remote destination
2. Create a fresh VM locally and mount the share

sshfs -o uid=998 -o gid=998 -v <USER>@<NAS>:/backups_cloudron /mnt/cloudronbackups

3. Verify the permissions are a-okay:

drwxrwxrwx  1 yellowtent yellowtent 4.0K Aug 18 14:30 /mnt/cloudronbackups

4. Upload the backup config from the last backup and change from SSHFS to Filesystem
5. Receive the following error:

Access denied. Create the directory and run "chown yellowtent:yellowtent /mnt/cloudronbackups" on the server

Ah, thanks @girish. Can we add info to the doc about how to manage the database for Ghost, please?

Help! I set up a new Ghost website using example.com, registered as admin and then changed the domain to examplesomething.com.

I am unable to login and when I try to reset my password Ghost tells me that 'user not found'

Hi @johannesjom,

I'll try answering your questions although please note this is not official support

1. Yes, commonly they are moved to the Spam box

2. While I don't know the time frame I understand that the system needs 50 good and bad messages to start training first. I'd leave spam in the folder for at least 14 days, depending on how much junk you get.

3. It's per account as I understand it

4. See answer to (3), yes as far as I know

Further reading and reference:
https://docs.cloudron.io/email/#marking-spam

Hope this helps.

Best,
Axel

@jagadeesh-s2104 said in Backup failed:

I have like 5 to 6 backups scheduled for a day. Is it too much? Thank you!

IMHO Yes Why so many? I'd check the apps themselves, like Nextcloud, that keep versions of files to restore.

I also am dimly aware of a rate limit with Backblaze and costs for requests. That's for B2. Speeds are also limited, so it may start failing as you could end up with backups overlapping perhaps?

Hey @privsec, as per the message when you log on to your Cloudron via SSH, please do /not/ manually update packages in Ubuntu

If you mean an upgrade to a newer version, please follow this guide: https://docs.cloudron.io/guides/upgrade-ubuntu-22/

Note that only the latest stable is supported as far as I know.

@girish thank you. The plugin in the example at the top is 'ShareAlbum'. All I do is visit the sharing link (https://photos.segebrecht.com/?xauth=tDpiswojbqxw) and note the Deprecated messages at the top of the page.

The second case should possibly be its own 'ticket' but is related. Go to an album and send a notification to a subscribed member. You'll either get errors from Piwigo about email not being configured and the PHP errors shown on the page as well, or you get a positive notification from Piwigo that your email was sent but it actually isn't and you can see PHP errors on the top of the page.

Getting another error when trying to send notifications:

Warning: Mailer Error: Could not instantiate mail function. in /app/code/include/functions_mail.inc.php on line 904

@robi you are welcome, glad you found it useful and thanks for your feedback.

I want to prevent unauthorised access to the volume when the server is offline as well as somebody who might take the server out of its rack and boot it. If the volume automatically mounts, they have full access to the data if they can circumnavigate the login cough recovery mode cough

That's covering for physical access to the machine, in what likely would be a read-only, forensic access scenario by a 'bad' actor. In my case, it's a virtualised server, so not as likely to matter, unless they move the VM to a dedicated slice to get busy with it.

Granted, this is somewhat unlikely but being paranoid is better than being sorry

I am in the UK and storing professional data abroad (in nasty Europe no less - just kidding!) means encryption can cover the requirements nicely (as far as I know - I am not an expert in that field, so somebody please correct me if I'm wrong).

@robi yup. I need to paste in a password to decrypt.

@robi that's an idea, although I think it is somewhat insecure to automatically mount the encrypted volume

Argh. It still produces some output in the browser:
