@cilleyperson Ok, so we have success! Turns out, whatever image Contabo uses by default is not something that Cloudron likes at all. I used a custom image with the vanilla 22.04.1 ISO and it works fine.
Not sure if the system recognized my complete allotment of RAM and disk space though. Going to need to see what is happening there.
@LoudLemur I'm not sure I agree.
Cloudron isn't free software itself, and many of us are using this to support business applications. I already pay for two cloudron premium licenses, and this would allow me not to need to use non-Cloudron based VMs to host this software. The level of community interest, not price, should dictate whether or not time and effort is put into creating a community image for the server software.
I suppose if needed I could use the Cloudron Build Service application to roll my own Foundry server docker image for the platform, but why not make it available to everyone if there is interest?
I do think there should be a flag in the app store that indicates whether or not the software requires a paid license or not. That way people will know if there is an additional cost to running the server in addition to what they are already paying for Cloudron.
@cilleyperson I've got it! Managed to resize the logical volume to take advantage of all the space on my Contabo VPS.
So it looks like while it is a bit more work on Contabo, and you need to pay the small monthly fee for custom OS image hosting, everything does work pretty well.
I may turn this whole experience into a how-to in the future so people can learn from what I did to get this working.
@cilleyperson Figured it out. Something was weird because I had encrypted my backups. I'm sure it was me messing something up in my end. Updated my encryption password, took a new backup, and the restore worked.
Want to add my voice to this choir, would love to see this implemented as a one click application in Cloudron. +1
@cilleyperson I am going to try one more thing. I am going to use the vanilla Ubuntu ISO as a custom image to install from and try and use that to re-build my VPS with. Maybe that will allow me to bypass whatever is causing this problem.
@nebulon One last follow-up for anyone else out there looking at this and trying to install Cloudron on Contabo VPS instances. Here are the steps I went through:
I'll working on making a more detailed tutorial in the coming weeks, but this should get someone headed in the right direction if they are in the same situation I was.
Nevermind, this looks to be an issue only if you have never signed into your main Cloudron account on the "My Apps" page first. It may be a good idea to have some kind of check for that in a future release.
@jdaviescoates Correct, the vanilla install works fine. It looks like based on what @girish found it can easily be solved by enabling ipv6 in the kernel. Thank you @SirFiChi for posting that process!
