Cloudron Forum

I have looked at the tutorial https://github.com/M-arcus/cloudron-docs/blob/master/developer/docs/packaging.md
And found it rather hard to follow, even the first line to type doesn't make it clear you shouldn't be running it on the server!
Also I've not done any docker stuff before, so the basics of it are already over my head, and the links in the tutorial are also broken..
ie https://github.com/M-arcus/cloudron-docs/blob/master/developer/baseimage
However I found https://git.cloudron.io/docs/tutorial-basic/-/blob/master/Dockerfile?ref_type=heads

I'm hoping someone with experience could give some guidance on getting a custom app installed. (my chosen app is https://github.com/HiEventsDev/Hi.Events/tree/develop)
Which already has a dockerfile, which I guess has to be edited to meet the requirements of cloudron.
Do I need to create a git account & put my custom app files on github to make this work ?

Is the login page meant to look like

(The big login is centered on the screen.) Because none of my customers using it can even find the openid login

So with a self hosted install I would need to ask the ISP to set up the ipv6 PTR like they ip4 record ?

I've had some issues with 2FA and nextcloud. On my android phone the freshly installed nextcloud app opens a browser page, I click "cloudron login" and get an error about

Access forbidden State token does not match

After retrying "it just works" TM

Also I used a new account to get into nextcloud, on my PC / firefox, and went to use my normal account afterwards but it automatically goes to the new account, is there a cookie / cached token or something I can delete to fix this? Clearing the entire cache is annoying.

oh nevermind. I read the "you can try" instructions in the output

sudo ln -sf /usr/local/node-20.18.0/bin/node /usr/bin/node
sudo ln -sf /usr/local/node-20.18.0/bin/npm /usr/bin/npm
sudo systemctl restart box

And that seems to have gotten it going again. /phew

I installed netdata into ubuntu with apt install, didn't want to keep it & then removed it and autoremoved the dependencies it left behind.
This seems to have uninstalled node.
I tried apt install npm, but its a different version now (10.1.0) cloudron wants (20.18.0)
I tried npm install -g n 20.18.0
but it cannot find such a version.
What do?

Just to FYI, when I used phantomjs the pdfs would preview in app, and send email, but the receiver would not be able to view the pdf.
I had to use

PDF_GENERATOR=snappdf
SNAPPDF_CHROMIUM_PATH=/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable

to get proper functionality back.

@girish Yes I have 1.1.6.0... but I don't have those lines in the env file. I'll try just add them manually, before I do a reinstall.

EDIT: Manually adding those lines to the env file has fixed it for me.

Now my workaround doesn't work either, the invoices are unreadable/blank for mail recipients.

@humptydumpty No they look the same with either generated for me. (thankfully)

As a work around I changed a line in the env file to:
PHANTOMJS_PDF_GENERATION=true

Now my pdf's generate and invoices email sucessfully ( the non-generation also stopped email sending).

Just get an error pop up during pdf generation
500: Internal Server Error • Unable to generate the raw PDF

Ended up removing jellyfin from cloudron, its basically useless without hardware transcoding, imo.

I followed these instructions https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/how-to-install-jellyfin-media-server-on-ubuntu-22-04/ to install it in ubuntu (i know its not a supported config). And streaming with nvidia support makes it work like a different product. I don't have fancy DNS or SSL certs ...but it works

Paying cloudron customers view...I went for cloudron because of its easy automated mail server, and the nextcloud app. The other fluff was just nice to haves initially. Even now theres no app thats essential to me. I think cloudrons popularity is due to them getting it right, and app devs getting their apps on cloudron acts mostly as a promotion of the app they make. ie I'd never heard of clearflask, until your post here.

Found it here https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/1h788o1/built_an_opensource_self_hosted_transcription/
Only supports google meet right now, but has plans for teams, and nextcloud talk. (open to other suggestions too)
EDIT : Ahh crap was meant to be a app wishlist.

Did it make any difference?
Assuming its functioning I would think the docker start would still have to be modified.
ie docker run --gpu all <container> where ever that is.

Yeah I get that, I don't have much understanding of docker, and don't really know what the container tookit does to existing dockers, my only interest is using an nvidia GPU to transcode in jellyfin. My problem with the installation guide is not finding the file /etc/docker/daemon.json in step 1 of configuration. I have not run the command because I doubt it will succeed if the file it modifies doesn't exist, even if it creates it, its probably not going to affect the existing cloudron docker apps.

is the docker CUDA toolkit different to the nvidia container toolkit ?
https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-container-toolkit

@nebulon it looks like that nvidia-docker has been superseded by nvidia container toolkit
https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-container-toolkit
Does that make the issue go away or change anything at all ?
I'm also happy to allow you access to my cloudron server with nvidia GPU to try out.

I've got the nvidia drivers installed, and nvidia container toolkit installed also, but...

In this guide
https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/latest/install-guide.html
I have stopped at running the configuration command

sudo nvidia-ctk runtime configure --runtime=docker

because the file /etc/docker/daemon.json doesn't exist... (and I can't find it anywhere else either) which leads me to think it's not going to work.
Also theres nothing explaining what effect it will have on the existing docker containers, I'm assuming it will add access to the GPU to all containers.

Awesome, I couldn't get NFS to mount, so just set the tarball option instead, thanks.
