Cloudron Forum

I am a fan of cloudron primarily for it integrating

• monitoring (memory, disk, backups, certificates, containers running) incl. warning emails
• backup/rollback procedure within webinterface
• well thought of update process within webinterface

I like it so much I would love to deploy for example blank LAMP stack and an NGINX as load balancer and mount some data volumes via NFS in, privileged access needed perhaps.

This requires flexibility cloudron doesn't provide for a reason, it's tuned to provide rather simple custom, or packaged webapps. This is totally fine and serves many people well.

I'd like to sacrifice those restrictions while keeping the three points from above, obviously requiring to write my own dockerfiles.

Do you people know of a software that does this? I was unable to find one so far

For the record, since the communication on this went private.

The issue was solved by manual intervention.
I have two takeaway messages:

1

If mysql doesn't come back up, it is possible to
remove /home/yellowtent/platformdata/mysql (this is where the mysql addon stores it's data) and restart the box code using systemctl restart box.
(Do this from outside the mysql container) This is apparently non-destructive.

This fixed the first machine which hung up as it ran out of disk space (and this didn't change as space was freed up again)

2

• Do not upgrade box or any app while there's not plenty (5 Gig perhaps) of free space. It seems as if cloudron apps can get stuck in a bad state when space runs out while doing system things [DB migration, backups, updates] (I hope this is correct)
• Monitor space closely, it's cheaper to buy more than to end up fixing a stuck setup...
