Cloudron Forum

@girish Thank you so much for adding this.

You expected a 1:1 copy, but not of the env file? What problems has this caused?

The only thing I would expect to change on clone is the URL and the database credentials. Is that what you are referring to?

@robi Thanks. I'll see what I can find. I was actually surprised to see that it isn't already part of the LAMP App.

I am attempting an install something in the LAMP App which requires the YAML php extension. This doesn't seem to be installed already and appears to only be available via PECL which Cloudron doesn't currently support. Any chance this extension could be added to the LAMP App? Or is there another way of installing it?

The comma is a delimiter and can cause problems with some mailservers. Have you tried putting the name inside double quotes?

I was recently wondering exactly the same thing. Reboots previously required every few weeks and then nothing for a couple of months. Today I see an update notification.

It is explicitly advised not to manually update packages on a Cloudron server.

I have been trying to set up S3 storage with Exoscale to use file attachments but so far unsuccessfully. Does anyone have this setup working? I have added all the details in the config file and set up CORS. Typebot seems to connect to the bucket, but every time a file is uploaded it returns "file uploaded" but then immediately "invalid response" and I cannot work out why. The logs don't show anything useful for debugging either.

If anyone has attachments working with Exoscale and could point me to where I might have missed a required configuration that would be much appreciated.

If you want the outbound address to be noreply@domain.tld then you need to put the noreply in the second box. The first box is for the sender name. If you put noreply in the first box and left the second box blank, then when you saved it the default sender humhub.app will have been set.

Yes, you can set a static IP under 'Network'.

Comparing Cloudron with Netgate is hardly comparing like with like. The hardware appliance almost certainly has a huge markup and the software is forked from a free open source product. That is not a criticism, but essentially they have just one software product to keep updated, whereas Cloudron has many, and Cloudron is a dynamic platform not just a box hosting one app.

I understand the desire to save money but then maybe another solution would be a better choice.

Why should Cloudron do this? The tendency has long been moving away from such pricing models or they are extremely expensive or come with limitations such as being restricted to the main version you purchase. Also, not connecting to an account would most likely mean that you would be limited to the server you set it up on.

But out of interest: How much would you be willing to pay for a perpetual license? And how much for an (optional) support contract?

You said you tried to restore the DB backup. Why not restore the whole backup taken before the update? You can then clone the instance and test and once the problem is resolved update the production instance. Just make sure you deactivate automatic updates.

For what it's worth, we don't use the Oauth plugin though it is installed and there were no issues with the update to 5.0.3.

@timconsidine Important point, though for the so-called Kleinunternehmer in Germany there are no formal accounting requirements so it is sufficient to have a record of invoices, payments received and expenses when it comes to entering the figures in the tax return. Most decent billing software does reporting.

@chmod777 Let us know what you decide to go with.

Based on your needs, I think Perfex CRM should do everything you are looking for. It has in-built ticketing and a portal for your customers. It's not free (US$ 65.00) but there are no monthly costs if you don't need support and it can be installed in the LAMP app.

Not advertising, I use it myself (similar situation, also §19 UStG).

Careful: I see a German company is charging 49 Euros / month for a hosted version. This is not what you are looking for.

@marcusquinn Thanks for helping get this onto Cloudron. Will definitely follow development, but I agree that at the moment it is lacking essential functionality so not yet an alternative to Espo. I do think this could change in the next couple of years though.

Right now it looks like a great alternative for anyone who only needs basic CRM functions.

The only reason I would not move immediately from EspoCRM is the current lack of pdf exports (because we really need them) and the not yet complete email implementation. The roadmap looks very promising though and I am keen to test it out.

@imc67 The app only works with the enterprise version though, right?

@marcusquinn Fantastic!

+1 for this to be added to Cloudron
