I need to be able to send (ocassionally) special announcements to all users of a cloudron instance. Not to the email that automatically is created in the instance domain, but the personal address they give when they register.
Is there any easy way of doing this? Could I create a cloudron mailing list where all users are automatically added? Or could I install Mailtrain, for example, and syncronize the contacts in it with the instance user list?
Hello. I have a problem with the new user invitation email.
I changed the UI language of my cloudron server to spanish, and now the invitation email is sent completely empty. If I change back to english, the email is ok. It seems that there is something broken in the spanish translation for the email templates.
Looking at https://translate.cloudron.io/translate/cloudron/dashboard/es/?offset=1&q=welcomeEmail&sort_by=-priority%2Cposition&checksum= I see two keys (welcomeTo and subject) that contain a "@" character ("Bienvenid@ a Cloudron"). Perhaps this is confusing the template system and causing an error.
I don't know how this work. Perhaps this character may be escaped, or else the string changed to "Bienvenido/a", that is also a standard spanish way of having a gender neutral expression (I'm native speaking spanish).
Meanwhile, do you know any workaround we can use, until this is solved? Thanks.
Hi. I have a question that is complicated, but would be very useful.
I administer a Cludron setup for a volunteer association, and have a huge problem with passwords. As they don't use the services in a daily basis, but rather occasionally, people constantly keep forgetting their Cloudron password. And many stop using the services because they get tired of the process of getting the link to reset the password and choosing a new one each time they want to consult the nextcloud or comment something in the chat. So they revert to using whatsapp or gogle drive, and the association loses the track of all this data.
I think it would be much better if they could login with their google, twitter or instagram accounts.
I know that it's not simple, because of the single-sign-on mechanism used in Cloudron, via LDAP. But I wonder if there is any possibility.
Currently, the most important apps we are using are Nextcloud, Rocket.chat and Wekan. I know at least the two first one have social login capability. Do you think I could set it up, and would it work with users synchronized with the Cloudron LDAP directory?
Thanks
I still need cloudron login, because many people are using it now.
I'm going to try to activate social login in nextcloud and rocket chat, and see if it merges the social token with the existing account. If so, the problem should be solved.
I have an application that uses SAML for Single Sign On. I'd really like to use it to connect to my cloudron instance and allow our cloudron users to use it with their credentials.
I've seen that I can use a service of the Kopano app to set up an OIDC provider in Cloudron. But my app doesn't support OIDC. Is there any similar trick for SAML?
Thanks.
In my cloudron setup, at the login screen of the nextcloud app there is a "Forgot password" link. It would be useful for people that directly go to this app, without navigating first to the cloudron panel (a very common usage in my organization), and don't remember their Cloudron password.
But currently this link navigates to https://my.site.org/api/v1/session/password/resetRequest.html, and this url does not exist and generates a 404 error.
I have found that, in the file /app/code/config/config.php I can change the parameter lost_password_link to change the url to navigate to change password. I'd like to redirect to the reset password page of the Cloudron box, but I've found that this page has no url. If you go to https://my.site.org/login.html, there is a "Reset password" link, but it shows the form in the same page.
Is there a way to navigate from outside the box directly to the reset password form? Thanks.
Good point. I checked the services and some of them are yellow (without error, but stalled in loading). I've restarted one app that uses mongodb and now the backup works. But it's very close to the memory limit. If this happens again, I'll increase the memory assigned.
Thanks for pointing it out.
My cloudron instance is failing to backup daily for some time.
I got the message I copy below. When I backup manually the individual apps, they complete ok, so It seems that the failure is in the box itself (more concretely in the mongodb database).
I haven't any clue of the cause, could you please help me? Thanks.

@girish Thanks, it works now with ?passwordReset.
For me the problem is solved. You are true, my nextcloud installation si some years old. Don't know why did you remove it, but yes, think that will be useful to talk about it in nextcloud app documentation.
In my cloudron setup, at the login screen of the nextcloud app there is a "Forgot password" link. It would be useful for people that directly go to this app, without navigating first to the cloudron panel (a very common usage in my organization), and don't remember their Cloudron password.
But currently this link navigates to https://my.site.org/api/v1/session/password/resetRequest.html, and this url does not exist and generates a 404 error.

Is there a way to navigate from outside the box directly to the reset password form? Thanks.
Ok, finally I managed to solve my immediate problem in a different way. But it still be useful to be able to send emails from the PHP app. I cannot try this now, but I'll try again next time we need to do it.

I'm trying to configure a php application installed into a LAMP app in cloudron, to send emails.
I'm following instructions here and have typed the "cloudronmail" function as stated there. But it does not send any email. I have added traces to see the commands executed and the responses, and there are (i've edited out the personal information):
helo <some identifier>
> 220 my.example.com ESMTP Haraka/2.8.28 ready
mail from: myapp.app@example.com
> 250 my.example.com Hello <some identifier>.cloudron [172.18.16.4]Haraka is at your service.
rcpt to: some.email@hotmail.com
> 250 sender <myapp.app@example.com> OK
data
> 550 I cannot deliver mail for <some.email@hotmail.com>
To: some.email@hotmail.com
(...)
> 503 RCPT required first
quit
> 500 Unrecognized command
The address "some.email@hotmail.com" is a valid address of one of the cloudron users (although i think this should not be necessary).
Do you have any clue? Don't understand why it "cannot deliver mail" for this address. Thanks.
