Does PocketBase fill that gap?

PocketBase is interesting, but I wouldn't reach for it first for core application state. Postgres is "boring technology" which is great for reliability, well-known, well-understood etc. That said, I'm sure PocketBase fills an important niche.

Would love to see this. Self-hosted database makes n8n much more powerful.

It's been several months (perhaps more than a year) since I tried logging in to my Ghost installation. When I tried to log in, however, it didn't seem to recognize my email. A pop-up said, "No member exists with this e-mail address. Please sign up first."

When I logged in via MySQL I could tell that the email exists in the users table. In fact, it was the only user. However, it still didn't seem to recognize the email.

It turned out that I needed to add "/ghost" to the URL to log in to the Ghost backend. I had forgotten that there is a "member" login for email sign-ups, and the member login is the visible "sign in" button on the typical landing page.

I hope this helps someone else!

I'm having trouble with this as well. Our peertube didn't make the upgrade and is in a restart loop. Running npm run plugin:install -- -n peertube-plugin-auth-openid-connect -v 0.1.1 as cloudron user in recovery mode yields these errors:

For the record, the resolution was that I had two accounts, one an admin and one a superadmin (both with a similar username). I believe that my logging into an app as the admin caused my current account in Cloudron to also become admin. This hid the "Configure" button in the Backup section--while admins can see the backup settings, only the superadmin can change them. Logging out of the admin account immediately gave me access to superadmin again.

@nebulon said in How to set up backups after "noop" selected?:

Maybe you could enable remote SSH support for us and send a mail to support@cloudron.io with the Cloudron details and we can check this directly.

Done, thanks.

BTW, for now, I have resorted to modifying the box db (settings table) directly in order to restore backup capability. The dropdown still does not show itself.

@nebulon No, none. There are a couple of warnings, but I don't think they are relevant:

While investigating this issue, I discovered a small bug in the "noop" code:

/home/yellowtent/box/src/backupformat/tgz.js:28

If you'll note, at line 28, fileType is not yet defined, and therefore throws an error.

Unfortunately, this does not fix my issue. The dropdown box is still missing.

I had an expensive backup bill and selected "noop" to prevent data from going to my backup provider (digital ocean).

Now, however, I can't seem to choose anything to get it back to a working backup state. There used to be a dropdown menu (which is how I selected "noop") but now there is just a text message.

How do I configure my cloudron instance to do backups again?

@nebulon This has been released!

I just noticed the image features landed a few days ago:

https://github.com/go-vikunja/frontend/commit/877e4250554b31db2d57f44a7443c5d04c783e59

https://github.com/go-vikunja/frontend/commit/3d88fdaaddca15b98efa938f0b2813420d56ad84

(they have not been included in the Vikunja release yet, however)

Just FYI our company (relm.us) is sponsoring some new feature development in Vikunja that may help others here:

1. Image previews: when attaching an image-type file to a task, a thumbnail of the image will be visible (currently, only the filename/description is shown).
2. Cover image on kanban cards: you will be able to promote a kanban card's attached image to the "cover", so that you can see the image in "kanban" mode. This is similar to the way Trello does it.
3. The large "Vikunja" logo/branding in anonymous/read-only mode will be optional.

Vikunja's developer, Konrad, estimates these features will be ready by end of year (i.e. at the next release).

Most of our development team works with regular coding tools like vscode and git; however, some of us would like to work in a "live" environment with a collaborative coding editor like Cloud9 or Firepad.

Does anyone use any of the current Cloudron apps in this way? Any suggestions to try?

For example, does Gitea or Gogs enable a cloud-based edit & deploy cycle? Would EtherPad be suitable here (although, it seems unable to choose which files to collaborate on)?

Thanks!

@girish It works! Thank you.

Hello!

Is there a way to add environment variables or otherwise configure Uptime Kuma?

Specifically, a recent upstream change appears to have disabled the ability (by default) to embed Uptime Kuma in an iframe.

The solution for this particular issue appears to be to set UPTIME_KUMA_DISABLE_FRAME_SAMEORIGIN to true, however I'm not sure where to do this in Cloudron.

Thanks!

This looks really interesting:

https://github.com/nitnelave/lldap

Has anyone looked into how it might be used with Cloudron?

From the github page:

A lightweight authentication server that provides an opinionated, simplified LDAP interface for authentication. It integrates with many backends, from KeyCloak to Authelia to Nextcloud and more!

It comes with a frontend that makes user management easy, and allows users to edit their own details or reset their password by email.

The goal is not to provide a full LDAP server; if you're interested in that, check out OpenLDAP. This server is a user management system that is:

• simple to setup (no messing around with slapd),
• simple to manage (friendly web UI),
• low resources,
• opinionated with basic defaults so you don't have to understand the subtleties of LDAP.

@girish It's fixed! Thank you very much.

@subven Yes, I did take a look there and my yml is still set to the default 20 MB. Is that what you mean for me to check for?
