I can not find the App Cloudron installed at my domain
Logged in to my.owndomain.com Cloudron dashboard I see this referring to my linodes.com volume which I set up to install Cloudron so that Cloudron would install Metabase app from the Cloudron store --
/dev/sda mounted at / 21.66 GB used of 156.92 GB
This disk contains:
Docker images 4.05 GB Platform data 902.89 MB Backup data 329.32 MB (myxxxxx.com) 73.46 MB Email data 256 kB Box data 196 kB Everything else (Ubuntu, Swap, etc) 8.34 GB
However, when I use terminal to this volume I cannot find Metabase or Clloudron's folder or Docker images at /dev/sda or in any other directory.
I've drilled into one directory and sub-directory after the next and don't find anything relating to Cloudron except a file at /usr/local/cloudron-syslog/bin
which did not contain useful paths.Where should I look in my linodes volume so that I can find the Metabase Docker app I used Cloudron to install? I assume there I will also find the H2 database file.
Thank you!

RE: Apache Superset — data exploration and visualisation platform
2.5 weeks ago I installed Superset on my MacPro from github using Docker.
There is also a linux and Windows install.
However, this cannot be installed on a Mac running the M1, M2 etc chips yet. I have the last version of Mac running the Intel chip before the crossover to M1 architecture.Now I've built a dashboard featuring charts that pull data from an online mysql server at a German Apache or nginx for php/mysql common web projects.
But to take my dashboard project online I'd need my linode.com server containers account.
I wish Cloudron offered a Superset install based on the current Docker container for Superset install.
This would configure my linode.com dedicated container/volume for superset with everything else needed to run superset. -
RE: How to regain login to Cloudron at my domain?
@nebulon Thank you for taking a look!
My problem has just been solved!
It started for me because your DOCS did not make it clear that Creating a Mailbox was a whole separate Necessity even for the ADMIN. And that as an ADMIN who Added a User with the whole Email Invitation sent, user responding, creating their own Username, and Saving this DID NOT by DEFAULT at least finish the process by Adding a new mailbox corresponding to the new User .
I never guessed that THE ADMIN him or herself of the Cloudron installation would not have access AS THE ADMIN to setup Master default parameters for the Email App itself!
In your docs after following along with the entire Email setup down to the check the Status instructions at last continuing down the page it merely says, casually, as if an Option --
*Mailbox
AddMailboxes can be created for Users and Groups on a per-domain level. To do so, simply create them in the Email view.*
Mailboxes can be created for Users
when it should really be highlighted as
Now mailboxes must be set up here for your users if you intend to offer this as a feature.
Nothing indicating that we are continuing in the Enabling Emails for Users instructions or after all of the above it still won't work.
That not even the ADMIN now enacting all these steps Must manually install an Email box for him/herself.How about "Finally, you must Finish this process by adding each User's Mailbox manually. These were not created automatically when you finished creating the User. In fact, You must first make an Email Box for yourself with Superadmin privileges or you will not be able to Login to the Email application to customize it according to your preferences.
It was finally only by reading carefully https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/4529/cloudron-email-wrong-usernam that I realized any advice I received about my email problem was ASSUMING that I knew this -- even though everytime I read your Docs I was assuming that the Mailboxes were automatically installed, certainly for the Admin first of all.
I'd recommend really emphasizing this in your docs as a clear Step 1 through Step 10(?) process REQUIRED Final step or not even the Cloudron Admin can enter his own Email installation.

RE: How to regain login to Cloudron at my domain?
@robi I will try, but what seems obvious at this moment is with Cloudron's authentication server.
When I provisioned another website in my Linode account like the first time I signed up for Linode and decided to try Cloudron so that I could install Mastadon my second Cloudron install using a different email was impaired and I didn't know it.
Obviously this has to do with the Deal between Cloudron and Linode. For weeks now I have been trying to set up 2 domains with 2 instances of Cloudron and Mastadon.
I made all the correct steps to get Cloudron and Mastadon set up in both virtual servers. This whole time I intended to TEST Linode. Whether I should switch my hosted websites over to Linode. I believed the hype about using Cloudron to assist.
I am telling you that NOTHING works for opening up ANY email application in my 2nd Cloudron trial.
The first domain setup works! As advertised.
The second domain setup (same as first) fails consistently.
And in the first domain setup when I click on the mail app logo inside Cloudron it immediately opens up with no login needed.The second domain setup with a new Cloudron install using another email address, as Cloudron rejected the one I used for the first Cloudron account, simply will not authenticate at the login -- which always appears when I click on the email icon in my second cloudron installation.
I would send mail log but you don't allow that here.

RE: How to regain login to Cloudron at my domain?
@nebulon Thank you for answering my query.
It didn't help me, however.
In the actions I just described OBVIOUSLY I could ONLY have made new accounts when I was in the Cloudron dashboard.
Since, after all, I have NO ACCESS to any other controls beyond that.In the last user account I set up I gave it the greatest Admin privileges and saved it. It did as promised, sent an email from the cloudron server to the outside email account of the new user whose account I had created.
I opened the email and replied to the link which sent me back to the form where I then ADD more elements, such as setting the Password.
Still, once I saved all of this and the new user I created was in the Cloudron list of Users ... my first email account for myself and the email account I just created.
But neither the first email or the second will open up my email app to see its mail accounts dashboard.
For my second instance of installing Cloudron the email app in neither RoundCube or RainLoop opens.
I already successfully went through this process with my first domain and everything works perfectly, So I have gained familiarity that works.
Except your advice fails consistently.

RE: How to regain login to Cloudron at my domain?
@jimcavoli Thanks, Jim.
But it does not work that way on my setup.
On an almost duplicate setup with a different domain name the Username to open up the Email application once I click the Cloudron Mail account does NOT require the full domain.
In fact, the name I put into the Username to login does not match either the username or "Full Name".The Username is De Boss deboss is the account name.
However to login to the Email app as the administrator the working login is "DeBoss" with no space between.
And definitely no deboss@mydomain.com works with that password.So now I go back to the other domain with the same setup, but setup a few days later and no combination of the email account login with its domain added "username@myotherdomain.com" logins. Combo can't be verified.
So, following your advice I set up an entirely new user at this domain while logged in to Cloudron. And gave this user Superadmin privileges. It emailed a confirming invitation which I used to follow the Setup account link.
I set it up and saved and then tried to login.
The new account fails to login to the email application.Is this Login verified from checking Cloudron servers or from my own database installed with Cloudron and the Email app installation?
When I set up Cloudron the first time it gave me one Username and password. And I continued setting up that domain with a Cloudron installation using that first Username and password.
Now I don't need to use the full domain name to log in to my Email app on that domain, just the username, although it is NOT exactly the same as what my Cloudron User account shows!
Then when I setup my second domain I had to install Cloudron again. It prompted for a new username for that account. I realized everytime I would install Cloudron in other domains that I had to use a new registration each time.
So, even though the installation said FREE if I used the green button it immediately wanted my credit card and a whole new account to be set up for a pay plan.
PLEASE CLEAR THIS UP once and for all.
What you describe does NOT work that way as far as using a full email address in my first domain, as I have described.
The second domain set up days later will not give me access to the email application with two different users following your instructions.

RE: How to regain login to Cloudron at my domain?
@jimcavoli Thank you for your response.
My problem since late last night and today is that I can not login successfully to my RoundCube email.
The username and password connection repeatedly fail.
Using the same username and password I can successfully login to my Cloudron app on my website.
I can even send a test email from Cloudron's dashboard.
I finally thought maybe I should uninstall my RoundCube and I did. Then I installed RainLoop. Same deal. Can not login to the Email application with the Username and password I saved 2 days ago.
I can log in to Cloudron https://my.mydomain.com/login.html with that Username and password.
Both installations of RoundCube and RainLoop said that they would use the existing username and password for the Email app login -- but it does not work. Authentication fails.
I know somewhere in the database the stored validation combination is not matching. Repair does not work.
How can I force the Email configuration set by Cloudron to apply to the Email Admin login?

How to regain login to Cloudron at my domain?
Somewhere in the past day while trying to solve the PTR problem and getting no help from the Linode tech support system except that my vps setup mx records for the my.domain.com Dashboard and Email looked okay & go look at Cloudron docs (again) I have the problem that I cannot login to https://my.mydomain.com//#/apps or /login.html
You are seeing this page because this domain points to Cloudron server IP but no app is installed on that domain.
Yet my main domain name record in my Linode account https://mydomain.com immediately opens my Mastadon login page as I configured it to do.
So I had a Cloudron application installed on this VPS instance that was used to install both Mastadon and the RoundCube email image.
But the my.mydomain.com dashboard now fails to connect. And https://mymail.mydomain.com/?_task=mail&_mbox=INBOX also doesn't connect and both just give me white pages with --
You are seeing this page because this domain points to Cloudron server IP but no app is installed on that domain.If I can't get to the Cloudron dashboard I can't look for setting again or signal the application to synch the DNS again from my linode VPS.
I have another domain served by another VPS at Linode and everything works. I can login and see my Cloudron app and my RoundCube app and both run fine. And my Mastadon app works fine. So I've been back and forth comparing both VPS setups and I can't find any critical difference except for domain name.
What, please, is a backdoor to get control of my Cloudron installation? I don't want to waste hours going backwards to set up a brandnew Cloudron just get a new RoundCube and Mastadon setup. The Mastadon account works perfectly.
Thank you for ideas.

I don't understand Linode install of cloudron
I now have 2 VPS hosts set up on my linode account.
I want to install Cloudron on my 2nd newest VPS hosting server as I did on my first hosting server.(I've needed lots of help & docs this first week of opening up a Linode account)
But now I want to install Cloudron in my second VPS.
However when I access this account and look through its configurations and DNS etc I then click Marketplace in the lefthand menu.
I click on Cloudron. But the following confuses me.
it is asking for information that I thought is automatically filled in while I think I am ONLY in the dashboard view of my 2nd vps.I only see the label name of my first instance and it is asking for information that was used for installing a VPS.
Cloudron install wants to know my region choice, wants me to choose a VPS account config of ram, cpus, etc. And the SUBMIT button says it is going to CREATE A LINODE.Why doesn't LINODE offer me a way to specify that this Cloudron application is to be installed inside my chosen VPS Linode server? NOT overwriting the Cloudron inside my first VPS package?
I have no confirmation before Submitting for the Cloudron image to be installed WHERE it is going.
I have no confirmation that it is not going to give me a brand new standalone VPS in Linode with Cloudron as the base application.
How do I confine different applications to be installed in the directory of the VPS I am choosing to install into?

linode install of mastadon via Cloudron
- set up linode account
- Cloudron first app install (in order to install Mastadon)
- Forwarded a test domain of mine from GoDaddy to Linode
- mytestdomain.com (fake name) now replaces the assigned IP 129.blah blah of my Linode Ubuntu server instance
- Used Cloudron to install Mastadon
- made username for my admin dashboard
- Installed RoundCube and successfully can send email from another email host I have to (fake names) myadminname@mytestdomain.com
Now I want to, via one method or the other, to apply a new domain name to my Matadon application.
As in: https://mynewdomain.com in a browser will open immediately to my Mastadon server installation -- to the Public Users generic page with info about signing up, etc.From what I have read once Mastadon is setup (like mine) to use one domain then I can't simply go through steps to change my default domain url to a new domain.
To install a Mastadon application using another URL than the one now installed where do I begin?
because the linode dashboard is now using my previous domain url do I have to set up ANOTHER Ubuntu installation and assign the new URL intended to be used by my Mastadon application?
Or do I have to set up a completely new Linode account for exclusive use of my new URL so that I can use a New Cloudron installation and then another installation of Mastadon?
Bouncing back and forth beween Linode, Cloudron and Mastadon documents I can't see the Best Use solution.
Thank you for answering with the Steps I need to implement!

Mastadon installation on Linode from Cloudron
Using Cloudron on my Linode instance I installed Mastadon.
I know it installed its own PosgreSQL server & database tables.
Do I have to install a particular ADMIN PosgreSQL tool in my Cloudron application to see & administer this Mastadon database?
And to see all my files & their paths in a UI do I need to install a separate directory or file browser in my Cloudron application?If so, best choices would be . . .?
Thank you!

Cloudron on linode account Email ?
In the past week I opened a Linode account & their tutorials show recommendations for installing Cloudron to assist in installing apps in the Cloudron library.
So, installed Cloudron. Then pulled Mastadon from Cloudron and installed that -- all based on a common Ubuntu profile I chose on my Linode instance.
I got a Username based on the URL I transferred to point to my Mastadon login page.
The warning in opening my Cloudron admin panel is that my Email configuration was faulty and needed to be updated.
I'm told that because I chose to use the default email server of my Linode account and since Linode techs haven't opened up my 3 email associated ports that the Cloudron email setup warnings woud keep happening until Linode's SMTP server would open up my common email ports.
But, I'm thinking maybe I should consult Cloudron about setting up an external web server instance.
Cloudron docs say that I get a Cloudron email server & admin & view tool. Already I have sent and received an email from my own website email host to and from my new Cloudron account.
So, finally, my questions:
- The fact that Test emails out of my cloudron admin panel were successfully sent and the reply from my other website email was received back DOES THIS MEAN that the 3 email ports in my Linode instance are already OPEN?
- Or, did my Cloudron email server bypass my Linode email server ports and send & receive Email with its own external to Linode permissions? If so, how do I VIEW and administer Emails using the Cloudron email service?
- Does Cloudron provide a default viewer & email panel?
- or do I need to install a Cloudron app to gain viewership of my emails?
Thank you for your kind responses!
