Cloudron Forum

Would be nice to have Matrix Dimension because otherwise the use of Vector.im defeats a bit the purpose of having both dedicated Matrix homeserver & Element.io client.

@girish Awesome thank you it works like a charm. Marking as solved.

@BrutalBirdie I thought of marking as solved but did not find the button. Now I understand why, it's buried somewhere

That's quite funny. I didn't remember at all that during the creation of (my very first) EC2 server, I got prompted to very carefully save a private key as it would be the very last time I would see it. Your links rang a bell and indeed I saved that private key without really knowing it was for SSH

I'm in !

Thanks

Hi,

I installed Cloudron on AWS from the marketplace so I obviously never logged in on the server itself.

I need to follow instructions of https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/synapse/ which require SSH to my cloudron. I enabled SSH from the portal console but then... how do I login ? the sshd seems to only accept keys and obviously mine aren't there

Thanks

@ruihildt said in Element custom background:

@Clipper If it's relative to /app/code, you could try doing ../data/folder/image.jpg.

Yeah... nice try but that would be pretty silly if it worked, as you could access ../data/config.json or even ../../etc/shadow straight from any browser . There is a good reason why web roots exist.

I'll go for the external URL as @murgero proposed. However I think it's a horrible idea to rely on external sources. I still like my idea of a /app/code/themes/custom -> /app/data/themes symlink

This is by the way exactly how config.json is pulled up:
/app/code/config.json -> /app/data/config.json

Thanks

@nebulon Yes, I know that, and I did However what URL could I use for a setting like WelcomeBackgroundUrl that could actually be served by the web server ?

currently the background image is url("themes/element/img/backgrounds/lake.jpg"), relative to /app/code/. I can upload another background image in /app/data but it will be unreachable. Would it be possible to symlink a new /app/code/themes/custom/ directory to /app/data/themes/ ?

So that we could set e.g. "welcomeBackgroundUrl": "themes/custom/mynicebg.jpg"
and upload the file into /app/data/themes/mynicebg.jpg

Hope it's more clear like that.

Hi,

I'm running a Cloudron on AWS E2 (from marketplace) with a Matrix App and an Element App.

I'd like to make use of the Element custom branding such as WelcomeBackgroundUrl as per
Configure auth footer links through Riot config #9297

But apparently the entire filesystem except /app/data is read-only. Where could I store a background image which would be served (accessible) and not deleted upon package updates ?

Thanks
