Anyone every run into frustration with dropped characters while typing in Outline?

Perhaps it's because I have become used to Obsidian, which is locally based, but I also don't think I experience dropped character issues while typing in GoogleDocs and I am wondering if anyone else experiences this? My aim is to have a web editor that just feels the same as my local editor (Obsidian)

Further pondering this it could be a few things:

1. Outline Code: Something that is just not that fast about Outline, despite claims, or something with ProseMirror WYSIWYG

2. Server power: Nothing wrong with Outline but I am only on a small, 2GB ram 1vCPU Digital Ocean droplet and need something more powerful to mirror my experiences on Obsidian

3. Server config: This would be related to Cloudron's deployment of it OR maybe even the fact that I am running it through Cloudflare's proxy

4. All in my head: I need to stop being a crazy person and seeking perfection.

There's currently an issue with the latest release of Nocodb dropping image attachments that had me confused for a bit
https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb/issues/9057

.. until I found the issue and realized Cloudron has updated automatically to latest version but then I also realized: Backups!

Within 20 seconds I'd just reverted to backup from the previous night and was back up and running! Amazingly easy.

I guess that said, if I had a very active database with many active users I wouldn't be able to do this because of the likely data lose of going to a backup from hours ago so optimally I'd have just rolled back the image and not the data too but saved me this time so happy and sending thanks and praise!

+1 ... Kanbanboard is now in maintenance mode only so perhaps Planka is the ascendant one. Because it's not in Cloudron right now I am having to try to run it outside of Cloudron but would prefer not to.

@girish Ahhh ... I think because the settings section didn't populate with Gmail.com after I established this as the outbound, I figured this panel was inactive and overiden by my new outbound settings.

I now see that this panel will still set the from name and reply to address while the sending address will come from outbound.

It might still be nice if the gmail our newly-established outbound address populated in this panel once established and then users could also use this as a reply-to address? Or even better - an ability to set any chosen reply to address not tied to this server like I might just want to put "myname@maincompany.com" as my reply to instead of the server domain ... I guess a work around is to create a forwarding address but that's additional work.

Just a thought. Great work, again.

I am using SMTP with a free gmail like mycompany@gmail.com. When I visit that email setting page all I see is the domain for the server I am hosting on but I would like to keep using Gmail but just change the default from name for Gmail on a per app basis so I can have something like Passwords myorg@gmail.com and Wiki <myorg@gmail.com) ... loving Cloudron the more I get to learn about it!

Desired Outcome

Alter the from name for emails sent by Outline to "Company Wiki" instead of "Outline"

Why

Make it easier for teammates to know where this is coming from; customize

How

Seeing there is a Sendmail add-on which looks like it's a way to override the global email settings on a per-app basis but having trouble getting it to work? ... https://docs.cloudron.io/packaging/addons/#sendmail

I am using Gmail as Cloudron's global email relay across all apps and I also want to use this same account for Outline but I just want to alter the from name .... I have been using something like below where the password is the app password and this all works well when entered into Cloudron's GUI entry system but when I use Sendmail, failure! I guess optimally I'd love to just be able to set "CLOUDRON_MAIL_FROM_DISPLAY_NAME" and just have this one environment var override global setting so I could change this one to "Team Wiki" or something but also fine if i need to define all of them for SENDMAIL to work.

CLOUDRON_MAIL_SMTP_SERVER=smtp.gmail.com       # the mail server (relay) that apps can use. this can be an IP or DNS name
CLOUDRON_MAIL_SMTP_PORT=465         # the mail server port. Currently, this port disables TLS and STARTTLS.
CLOUDRON_MAIL_SMTPS_PORT=587        # SMTPS server port.
CLOUDRON_MAIL_SMTP_USERNAME=me@gmail.com 
CLOUDRON_MAIL_SMTP_PASSWORD=aaaa bbbb ccccc dddd 
CLOUDRON_MAIL_FROM=me@gmail.com               # the "From" address to use
CLOUDRON_MAIL_FROM_DISPLAY_NAME= MyCompany # the email Display name to use for the "From" address
CLOUDRON_MAIL_DOMAIN=me@gmail.com            # the domain name to use for email sending (i.e username@domain)

Thank you!

For this great tool!!

Better solution:

1. Find the "Domains & Certs" menu in the dropdown
2. Click on your domain and switch from Cloudflare to Manual (this can just be temporary) and then save
3. Now try to uninstall your app again.
4. Now you can probably try to reintegrate Cloudflare again via API

You may just have an expired Cloudflare token, which can happen. Check out expiry date for your token and try again.

Praise for Cloudron's backup system: This is amazing! Digital Ocean charges 30% of the cost of the droplet for daily backups. If your droplet uses Cloudron, you can just use the built in backup to R2 for free and could even have it backup multiple times per day. So cool. Amazing cloudflare is offering so much free storage with r2 as well. I guess eventuallly they may change this but Cloudflare makes integrations so easy it seems trivial to just switch things over to s3 or Backblaze if that time comes. That said, I guess I haven't had to restore from a backup before so this is more just praise for the setup ease but I have faith in Cloudron team based on care I see with the product and in this forum!

Thanks for inclusion on this and directing me to this post! We actually mostly use Cloudron just for internal communication tools and then we work with some of the big, commercial streaming services as their service arm and do client integration work for them. Streaming is tough because it's so much more resource intensive and most self-hosters want to be able to get away with a $6/m cloud server instance. That said, some of these tools I haven't spent time with but you've encouraged me so perhaps will spend some time this weekend kicking the tires and report back!

I am a developer and manage a small team of devs focusing on streaming video solutions. We use open source tools and libraries in our own software and with clients and, especially, enjoy trying to use open source tools for our own internal collaboration and Cloudron helps with this.
