Cloudron Forum

More backup retention options, even better, customizable, per app.

https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/releases/tag/v0.11.5

I’ve been crawling through the web and I can’t seem to find any guides on migrating a Mastodon instance into Cloudron. Is it possible?

While we are at it, is it also possible to migrate the instance out of Cloudron?

Does Cloudron supports UPS shutdown notifications? Or do I have to manually install a tool in linux?

@girish I think what @odie would like to do is to restore from a backup which came from a different server.

So I think I've found the solution.
Modify the Proxy Host config > Advanced and paste the following:

set_real_ip_from    03.21.244.0/22;
set_real_ip_from    103.22.200.0/22;
set_real_ip_from    103.31.4.0/22;
set_real_ip_from    104.16.0.0/13;
set_real_ip_from    104.24.0.0/14;
set_real_ip_from    108.162.192.0/18;
set_real_ip_from    131.0.72.0/22;
set_real_ip_from    141.101.64.0/18;
set_real_ip_from    162.158.0.0/15;
set_real_ip_from    172.64.0.0/13;
set_real_ip_from    173.245.48.0/20;
set_real_ip_from    188.114.96.0/20;
set_real_ip_from    190.93.240.0/20;
set_real_ip_from    197.234.240.0/22;
set_real_ip_from    198.41.128.0/17;

#use any of the following two

real_ip_header CF-Connecting-IP;
#real_ip_header X-Forwarded-For;

this will allow True Client IP Address to be passed to Cloudron.

@BrutalBirdie my Cloudron is self hosted onprem. I have a UPS which powers my Synology, Cloudron, etc.
My Synology acts as a UPS server which tells devices when they are on battery or if the UPS is almost flat.
I would like Cloudron to be able to read that and prepare to gracefully shutdown.

I also recommend that the cleanup.sh to add the tootctl media remove --prune-profiles

@gh0stface so this is what I've setup;

## S3 Storage
PF_ENABLE_CLOUD=true
FILESYSTEM_DRIVER=local
FILESYSTEM_CLOUD=s3
PF_LOCAL_AVATAR_TO_CLOUD=true
MEDIA_DELETE_LOCAL_AFTER_CLOUD=true
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=xxx
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=xxx
AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=xxx
AWS_BUCKET=mediapixelfedsg
AWS_URL=https://media.pixelfed.sg
AWS_ENDPOINT=https://xxx.backblazeb2.com
#AWS_USE_PATH_STYLE_ENDPOINT=false

and it works.

Mastodon has released 4.1.0 and it has a whole slew of fixes and features!

https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.1.0

Not rushing anyone but…

@nebulon i've identified the issue and it was my S3 configuration.

The endpoint and hostname should never have the bucket name.

S3_ENDPOINT=https://s3.us-west-001.example.com
S3_HOSTNAME=s3.us-west-001.example.com

@shanelord01 I've got mine working. It's only advisable to have it running from with in the same server otherwise you'll have to expose it to the internet.
I'm hosting my ES in docker but its similar.

Here's what I've done:

1. Set your network.host and discovery.seed_hosts to 0.0.0.0, this is so that it'll be open to the internet
2. Set your Port to something other than 9200, 9920 for example.
3. Ensure that your firewall/port forwarding is setup.
4. Configure your env.production

ES_ENABLED=true
ES_HOST=[ES IP Address]
ES_PORT=9920

5. I recommend a reboot of the app
6. Run bin/tootctl search deploy in the app terminal

@girish is there a documentation where I can package my own apps?

@BrutalBirdie actually I didn’t get emails on backup failure, app update or reboot required. How do I enable those?

@girish said in Issue with the API to change MemoryLimit:

--data-raw '{"memoryLimit":973078528}

Thanks! this bit helped.

So here’s the thing, my router has dual WAN.

Recently, my primary has not been very stable and would failover to my secondary.
I could see that Cloudron has picked up the new public IP Address but hasn’t updated the DNS records for the apps.

Thanks, every 10 mins would be a lot better than 5 mins past the hour.

Hi all,

Not sure what is happening but admin-ajax.php is throwing error 500.

[Mon Oct 16 01:53:46 2023] "POST /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php HTTP/2.0" 500 0 "https://[redacted]/wp-admin/upload.php?mode=grid" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/17.0 Safari/605.1.15"

This happens when accessing Media Library in grid mode, no issues displaying images in list mode.

I also noticed that my other plugin would fail, All-in-one WP Migration plugin would not be able to run export to backup. The same error would appear.

What I've tried:

• Disabling all plugins
• Enabling default theme
• Increased WP_MEMORY_LIMIT to 128M
• Increased the App Memory Limit to 512M

When I reboot the App or the Server, the site will not load and the logs will show:

Healtheck error: Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 172.18.20.7:80

Ideas?

Can we have Pixelfed package updated to the latest commit to support the new landing pages and Filesystem_driver fixes?

@girish found the culprit, NPM was not forwarding the web socket properly. Fixed that and the terminal works now.

@doodlemania2 what’s your setup now?
here's mine:

#!/bin/bash

# Setup scaling related environment variables here - https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/scaling/

# Puma
export WEB_CONCURRENCY=3    # number of worker processes
export MAX_THREADS=10        # the number of threads per process

# Streaming API
export STREAMING_CLUSTER_NUM=3  # number of worker processes
export DB_POOL=15

# Sidekiq
export SIDEKIQ_THREADS=75
export DB_POOL=75               # must be at least the same as the number of threads
