Cloudron Forum

@nebulon Easy:

• install LAMP app.
• upload a prebundled package into the "public" folder.
• decompress it.
• set the PHP version to 7.4

Done. In case anyone searches for info here like I did...

I have seen older posts about this, but can't tell where the topic is at now, so thought I'd ask:

My personal use case would be: some apps have a lot of data (music, photo, video) that rarely changes and doesn't need a daily backup; other apps have small data (text files) that changes every day and does need daily backup.

To make backups faster AND smaller (helping with managing backup bucket size and such), it makes sense to exclude the first category from daily backups (which can be done, yes), but they also need to be included in a full backup at longer intervals.

Right now, all I can think to do is to go back and un-exclude these apps individually, run a manual backup (if, like me, you would like full backups in a separate bucket from daily backups, then edit the backup configuration), re-exclude them again individually (and re-edit backup configuration for coming daily backups).

Would it be possible to provide more backup options ?

• extensive solution idea: ability to create app groups, each with individual backup schedule and configuration

• easy solution idea: being able to activate/deactivate backup for individual apps by checking/unchecking boxes/buttons from the Backup page, instead of having to go back to each app's Backup section (even though the list and links already provided are a step in the right direction);
  AND, ideally, ability to save more than one backup configuration, and tick a box on the Backup page to select the active one.

Thank you for reading!

@plusone-nick Thank you for your response and kind offer to help. I think I figured it out, by reshuffling my user flow. It seems silly, but after racking my brains on all the technical solutions last night, I woke up this morning with a simple idea to avoid the problem altogether... I still would love to understand the technical aspects beneath all this, yet that may take more time.

On a side note, I would love to see your app integrated into Cloudron, as has been discussed separately. With some customization, it would allow an easy set up for multi-apps projects like this one.

Thanks again!

@timconsidine Precisely. I installed Publii on my PC, from local GUI I can create pages and such (including while offline), then when ready I sync/push to Surfer (or many other server options, but Surfer is super easy for a Cloudron user) and it's live. https://getpublii.com/

@girish I get a "Email not configured properly" notification, saying the PTR record is not found, but then, when I check the DNS settings, all is fine. This has happened a few times since the upgrade. That's all I've noticed on my end.

@girish Thank you for the pointers!

Reading the comments on "issue 100", I started by blocking my own trackers in Adguard (seemed fun!), which results in Ackee dashboard not opening (haven't found yet how to whitelist it), and Umami dashboard opening, but also still tracking my own visits, even though in Adguard it shows a block of it every time! This was fascinating, but not productive yet...

In the end, yes, it is the browser blocking third party cookies that canceled out the (now) default ignoreOwnVisits in Ackee. I solved that by removing the browser block, using uBlock origin instead, and adding my ackee address to "trusted sites". Seems to be working!

Thank you for the quick response!

@timconsidine I think that you have to set up access in Surfer Admin settings, also.

@abargel Well, actually, from the MySQL access in Web terminal, and a little help from the MySQL manual, it wasn't that difficult to find the table with
SHOW TABLES;
then
SELECT * FROM members_stripe_customers_subscriptions;
and add records with information from Stripe (and from the table members_stripe_customers) with
INSERT ... VALUES (see MySQL manual for format)

Sure, it is a bit tedious... But for a limited number of members, it can be done

@vjvanjungg Oh, thank you!! I will try it also and report here.

@jdaviescoates From making a few websites this summer for my (one-person) business, both on Wordpress and on Ghost, I'm left with the impression that these "open source" publishing tools intentionally leave a lot of essential components to be managed by paying services. Like an implicit paywall, really. I'm using a lot of other self-hosted apps on Cloudron, for various types of use, and even the more complex don't have these restrictions: if you learn how it works, you can do things. With Wordpress and Ghost, I keep learning, and keep finding arbitrary limits to what I can do (except, of course, by buying more services). I would be tempted to dump them if I had the time to learn an entirely new system right now (and would need to be sure that I wouldn't run into the same problem down the line!)

Hi, this is kind of a general question, so I thought would belong in Discuss.

I'm trying to use two Cloudron apps, each with LDAP support, but my goal is that when users sign up for an account on App1, their credentials are automatically valid for logging into App2.

I've tried using App1 as OAuth/OpenID server and App2 as client. I've tried automating it through the APIs and n8n. I've tried creating a sign up form on Baserow, to then create users on App1 and App2 through APIs and n8n. I've seen this to create Cloudron sign up page, but I don't know how to build it.

Clearly, I'm a bit out of my depth, and I haven't been able to set up any of the above options properly. Also, this is taking me way too much time and I suspect that there is a better, simpler solution... So I'm asking for advice!

Many thanks.

@girish Great, thanks! I suspected so, but will be happy to get rid of the pesky notification!

This works great and quite easily with Surfer and SFTP access. Very nice and simple website building app for non programmers.

@subven Thanks! Setting up my own LDAP was part of my research yesterday, but wasn't as easy as it sounds (for me, anyway!)

@abargel said in What's coming in 7.3:

@girish I get a "Email not configured properly" notification, saying the PTR record is not found, but then, when I check the DNS settings, all is fine. This has happened a few times since the upgrade. That's all I've noticed on my end.

I don't know if anyone sees the same thing, I keep getting this "Email not configured properly" notification, almost every day, since upgrading to 7.3. Email configuration seems fine once I go check it out, and email has been working as usual, it's just that the notification keeps popping up... Has anyone noticed the same?

@timconsidine public/

@girish Oh, never mind, it was an SMTP OUT block by the VPS provider... I didn't think that it would apply to running email from another server through OpenVPN on this one...
Sorry for taking your time with this, and thanks again.

@jdaviescoates

1. customer signs up for an account (on Nextcloud) to collect a free product.
2. to buy more, customer is asked to log into their account, but that page is actually a Wordpress registration form looking like a log in form. Customer enters the same credentials, so both accounts will correspond (and both sites are under one brand/visual identity).
3. when coming back to their account page (on Wordpress) for future purchases and such, customer will use a similar looking log in form, that is actually a log in form.

Of course:

• the camouflaged registration form needs to be used only the first time. I can arrange that through the onboarding flow.
• I still need purchases on Wordpress to be reflected for the corresponding user on Nextcloud. I'll start manually (again, tiny operation), then I think I can automate that through the APIs on n8n, like Stripe to Nextcloud. Just need to learn more about how that works...

@micmc Well, having found the old wishlist post while looking for Cloudron based options to host the files, I was just confirming that the last suggested option works

@Robin After checking manually the usage graph for each of my apps, none of them shows any spikes. So I'm not sure where to look next.
