@girish thank you! That did the trick 🙂

@girish thanks. Yes, it was actually easier than my mind made it out to be! I just opened the ports I needed and set 53 only for the networks I wanted.

@3246 yes, kind of like a torrent file where you can select priority per file/dir and which ones to skip.

not sure a pause is needed, but more like a pre-start selection.

I'm sure @staff can enumerate mail and other core services as required items but with flexible priority/order.

Not only that, but while we're pondering that manual selection process with manual clicks, the essential bits can already be restored and ready for the next prioritized components.

Just to let anyone else know, I ran into the same issue with 7.2.0 when migrating servers and made the change that @girish mentioned and it still didn't work until I restarted docker (systemctl restart docker) and then it worked!

@girish ha! I'm doing an rsync to the new storagebox and yes.. just the last one which is the only one in the temporary local backup space.

I tried backing up directly to the storagebox but it kept failing. I also see it fails after a few hours when doing it manually but I can restart it easily enough 🙂

Any tips are welcome for sure though. It's taken a week to get here trying various things... doesn't help when you have nearly half a terabyte of data across your Nextcloud apps etc.

@girish it does, yes. They also have a KVM style one for their "elastic metal" service. I'll give this a try and report back. My main question is whether I can install the OS from an image or if I have to use one of theirs. Otherwise, I may have to find another host 🙂

@luckow For a more modern dancing video, I suggest Galvanize, by the Chemical Brothers (complete with the B&W aesthetic) Youtube Video

@girish happy to share full logs from that app if it helps?

You already have support access I think, I'll open this as a ticket so you have the link.

It runs on a dedicated bare metal box with 16GB RAM, 1TB NVME and 4 core CPU.

@3246 said in Backup mail service and primary MX:

I added made sure the record includes "v=spf1 mx..." but it's still showing as erroring in Cloudron

Sometimes it takes a while to propagate the change in DNS, so you may need to check it a few hours later.

@humptydumpty https://gandi.net are good at most things and might do that DNS automation too. They have their own service, I think.

Note to self: Use an external drive that has twice the disk space needed by the apps as a temporary mount point to restore to! Because it will need to download a copy of the whole backup, then unpack and finally bin the download. D'oh!

Step 1: Find a disk with sufficient space to restore to (apps space x 2)
Step 2: Mount the disk and symlink to the original location in the backup file
Step 3: Restore and then reset the storage location (or point it to where ever your new mount point is).

Got it all working now. Perhaps it's time to invest in a bigger SSD for my home server 🙂

@3246 Strange indeed. I can't quite make out what the issue is. Can you drop a mail to support@cloudron.io with SSH access and I can try to debug?

I have tried to fix this with https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/-/commit/dbb803ff5e3e837a7c8f49c4890bccc5329946d5 . Let's see if the situation is better in the next release.

This was indeed a bug. Fixed in https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/-/commit/2434e813836e7837162c1798794d04655227d9cf . Thanks a lot @avatar1024 . It will be part of 7.1.2

@3246 said in Restore Error - Cannot access 'error' before initialization:

Do I always have to use the backup config (I did manage to change the path manually to point it to the latest backup after uploading the restore file)?

No you don't need the backup file.
https://docs.cloudron.io/backups/#restore-cloudron

did you try to completely remove the mount and the configure it new?

@3246 said in UrbanTerror Game Server:

https://www.urbanterror.info/

Yeah. Stability vs Number of apps is a thing to consider. Plus, third party apps can be used.

@girish said in Nextcloud Talk not connecting calls:

Amazing! Thank you 😄

I don't have this camera so cannot test...but perhaps Entangle can get you there without writing custom software?

https://entangle-photo.org/

I don't see that camera on the libgphoto2 supported list though so that software might not work.

Wondering where we are with this. @3246 do you need help on this?

@3246 @girish , I am not sure (didn't try myself) but things suggested in this post may help ..

@girish thank you, I'll have a look 🙂

@girish I don’t think I’ve tampered with anything there, no.

Very good, as long as there’s some mechanism to reliably start over I’m happy to do that. Thanks! In the longer term maybe some kind of ”Start over” mechanism doing this same thing can be exposed to the backup page…

@jdaviescoates I put the docs in https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/roundcube/#upload-size . I think adjusting $config['max_message_size'] = '100M'; takes it over 75M . Note that roundcube uses 1/3 of the size here for attachments (the rest is for the message body itself). So, maybe make it like 150MB or something.

Just my 2 cents here : like girish said, if you want to run other things besides cloudron, you should install cloudron in a VM.

If you really want to dedicate the whole machine to cloudron, there is really no need to bother with the additional layer of complexity, another OS to keep up to date and such. I would go bare-metal in this case. That's how I've been running cloudron for 2 years, and it's great.
