ownCloud Infinite Scale, when it roles out. This sounds like it would solve the file-syncing problems I have with Nextcloud (slow, no delta sync, no selective sync).

Just wanted to add to this thread too. I've moved servers about 5 times now. It happens so quickly and smoothly that I get to the end of the process and wonder if I'm really finished. So well done!

I just tried this out via a German email and cloud service called Mailbox and it's solid.

Address book and calendar configuration + sync are super quick and smooth; none of the address book formatting oddities or calendar glitches I've experienced in Nextcloud. File sync was equally fast and no fuss.

Web GUI has a bit of a corporate feel but it's clean with a good amount of white space.

The Mac and iOS apps work well but there's no Dropbox-like Smartsync "Local vs Online only" feature for the Mac. It has a form of selective sync but it wasn't behaving like I'm used to in Dropbox (turning off a folder still left the folder on my Mac? Maybe a bug).

Couldn't test 2FA without using my own domain.

All and all quite impressed.

@girish okay cool, thanks. Yeah JMAP is much more efficient and makes working with a lot of email on mobile devices significantly quicker. It's also meant to be easier to implement than IMAP/SMTP.

Fastmail wants to build protocols and data models on top of the core of JMAP for handling calendars and contacts sync too, replacing CardDAV, CalDAV and Websocket.

One modern open API for mail, calendars and contacts.

If you added this could you include FreePBX?

What mail server does Cloudron use? Will JMAP be coming to it any time soon?

@timconsidine great, okay thanks for that.

I ended up exploring Gandi's SOGo implementation, which comes with their email hosting, and it all seems to work well for calendars and address book now. It didn't when we first signed up.

So that's kind of solved my problem really!

@imc67 keep an eye on this thread: https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/2457/owncloud-infinite-scale?_=1621875492434

Good to see people having a go at redesigning social media. The pro & contra idea for interaction instead of comments is pretty cool. I've seen that working well on another site.

@ianhyzy ah okay, thanks. I was using Surfer for web host (literary a static home page holder).

I assume Radicale is more RAM efficient?

I've considered hosting locally on my Mac mini but want to avoid all the potential administration that this involves any time there's a problem. We currently host our email with Gandi so I'm considering using them instead. Do you think one of these tiers is enough to host calendars, address book (via Nextcloud or Radicale) + very simple low traffic website?

@nebulon okay thank you.

Does Radicale support having a single shared address book across an organisation?

And does it support the delegation feature in macOS's calendar app?

I've installed Radicale and want to use it for shared contacts and calendars for our organisation.

Are there any instructions out there for setting it up that don't involve the CLI?

For instance how should I initially login to set up an address book and calendars for the organisation/individuals? What user account should I use? My Cloudron user account or email or my Cloudron admin account?

@girish ah yes, that makes sense. And recent ones are being deleted, yes. Thanks again.

@nebulon said:

did you maybe share the calendar as read-only?

No they're normal calendars.

@d19dotca said:

Do you happen to see this issue if using a more supported macOS version (11.x "Big Sur" and lower?) with the built-in Calendar app?

Yes, I was having this same problem with Big Sur. Seeing the problem was still there in Monterey actually prompted me to look into it more.

@girish said in Backup size growing:

@christiaan some info here - https://docs.cloudron.io/backups/#retention-policy

Thanks girish. This doesn't seem to cover the issue I am seeing though, which is that backups of old versions are not being deleted as per my retention policy.

@girish said in Backup size growing:

@jdaviescoates I am always wary about adding that feature because a compromised cloudron would then mean that backups can also be deleted. In many backup providers, you can create storage credentials with permissions so that objects cannot be deleted. Then again maybe just like auto-deletion, we can have a button to delete which may or may not work...

Why are they not simply deleted based on the retention policy? Is this for wiggle room if an upgrade goes wrong?

My retention policy is 2 days, for instance, but one of these old version backups was a month old.
