Cloudron Forum

Updates cannot be skipped. This is how all the app packages are tested by us and by (most) upstream projects.

@andirahmat yes, block storage is the correct thing to use for app data directory. But even in block storage, some filesystems like CIFS are not suited (since they don't have permissions and symlink support either). Of course, other filesystems like FAT, NTFS etc are totally out of question.

@andirahmat said in Cloudron built in smtp for newsletter:

Is cloudron build in email server considered as basic SMTP? Will it instantly marked as spam an blacklisted by all mail provider if i send newsletter for marketing funnel purpose to around 1000 email with frequency once or twice a a week. I want to avoid mailgun.

Yes, Cloudron is "basic SMTP" (per their definition). It's really hard to say whether your VPS provider will take offense with sending 1000 emails twice a week or not. You should probably just ask them. If they are one of the "big" VPS providers, be totally prepared for anything, including your account being banned. This is just how they work since even if they say it's totally fine some internal alert. kicks in, not being all fatalistic :-).

Anyway, I would recommend using external relay for large lists (1000 is big enough).

@andirahmat Files/source code on cloudron is read-only. This is to make sure updates are smooth. You will have to contact upstream to make them customizable across updates.

@girish said in Connect to lamp app mysql db from outside with db client like tableplus/navicat over ssh tunnel:

@andirahmat Try this - https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/3237/remote-sql-support-on-a-per-app-basis/2 . I haven't used tableplus/navcat but if you can post a screenshot maybe it helps debugging further. I think instead of mysql you just need to put in the IP of the mysql container using docker inspect mysql | grep IPAddress

ah this is it : docker inspect mysql | grep IPAddress

Thank you @girish !

@girish said in Use Cloudron email for sending email (smtp) on application hosted outside Cloudron:

@andirahmat You can test this with swaks.

swaks -server my.xxx.yyy:587 -tls --auth-user abc@xxx.yyy --auth-password password --to test@somemail.com --from abc@xxx.yyy

I've tried this command and works well. The problem is the app, still waiting for the developer response. Thank you @girish

Will mark this as solved since this is a DO issue.

@andirahmat said in Running Ubuntu 16.04 as an App on Cloudron:

I wonder if it possible to run this on cloudron. I mean is there any ubuntu 16.04 served as cloudron app then run this install script on it?

All apps on Cloudron use Ubuntu 18. But you can build a custom app with the base image FROM cloudron/base:1.0.0@sha256:147a648a068a2e746644746bbfb42eb7a50d682437cead3c67c933c546357617. That one is ubuntu 16.

@girish can you please refer me to the related documentation on doing this? Should i have another cloudron installation for this? Now my cloudron running on ubuntu 18.04

Keep your installation at 18.04. Girlish is talking about the DOCKERFILE’s too FROM line. Cloudron’s base image 1.0 was based on Ubuntu 16 so you should have that entire OSes dependencies to build an app on Ubuntu 16 even though Cloudron itself only runs on 18.04.

@girish said in PHP mailparse extension/modul:

@andirahmat OK, I learnt a bit more about this now.

PECL is PHP extensions written in C. PEAR is PHP extensions written in PHP.

Luckily, as you pointed out mailparse is already there in apt. So, I have pushed an update for the PHP 7.4 app to have mailparse in it. I also added it to the php-postgres repo.

Thank you! I'll try again.

It would be absolutely amazing to have publishing software from the Public Knowledge Project (PKP) on Cloudron:

OJS: Open Journal Systems OPS: Open Preprint Systems OMP: Open Monograph Press

There are now docker images available for OJS and OMP:
https://forum.pkp.sfu.ca/t/docker-images-for-ojs-and-omp/83312

https://github.com/pkp/docker-ojs/

I believe docker images would make packaging for Cloudron easier?

@girish Any chance we'll see OJS etc. on Cloudron in the future?

@scooke You make a good point, places like DigitalOcean have pre-built VMs for LAMP, not sure about something as old as 5.6 but even then it takes no time to just install
