  • Worried about erasing my cloudron
    D dfoy

    Like all Cloudrons, I access mine as "my.[domain-name].com".
    Being the clever, careful person I am, I accidentally just now created a Lamp app for the bare domain 'domain-name.com' rather than the hosted domain that I intended. Now when I go to uninstall it, I am warned that uninstalling will erase all the data.
    My question:
    Can I safely uninstall the LAMP app which I accidentally created for the bare app?
    Or if I uninstall it, will all my Cloudron data be erased?
    Thanks

  • Network security issue: Portmapper servers
    D dfoy

    I continue to get the following alert from my ISP (Vultr.com, where shared servers are called "instances")
    [begin quote]
    ...
    Recent network security audits have detected some issues on your instances. Please review the following reports and help us to ensure the security of our network:
    == Portmapper servers ==
    Portmapper is a service usually used with NFS. When this is not properly firewalled, it can be abused to conduct DDOS attacks. We recommend that all portmapper services be behind a firewall, and restricted to only IPs that need to contact them.
    For Linux machines, please add firewall rules to block port 111 on both UDP and TCP:

    iptables -I INPUT 1 -m tcp -p tcp --dport 111 -j DROP
    iptables -I INPUT 1 -m udp -p udp --dport 111 -j DROP

    Please see https://blog.cloudflare.com/reflections-on-reflections/ for more information on reflection attacks.

    The following IPs have been detected running open portmapper servers:
    [my cloudron IP was shown here]
    If you believe these reports to be false positives, please let us know.

    How should I address this?

  • Reboot question

    @nebulon Thanks. If I keep having this issue I'll start troubleshooting as you suggest, and will probably try to get the Vultr support people involved as well.

  • Reboot question

    @girish Thank you. I'll save these comments for the next reboot. Is it possible that there is some wrinkle in the way Vultr provisions the instance? If so I want to alert them to it.

  • Reboot question
    D dfoy

    Update: a repeat of a restore of a backup has it running again. Just a day's worth of emails gone.
    How can I reboot in the future without all this agony? Only from a terminal? I'm never going to use the on-screen "reboot now" button again.

  • Reboot question
    D dfoy

    It didn't work. The backup from 9 this morning has been restored, but the Cloudron install still refuses to boot.
    I'm now going to have to install a fresh Cloudron and painstakingly re-install everything (losing all my email records in the process. It will probably entail a complete re-working of all my Cloudflare settings.

    Surely this isn't normal.

  • Reboot question
    D dfoy

    I'm now restoring the Vultr backup taken this morning at 9 am. I was never able to get my Cloudron installation to run following the reboot -- all it did was show me the red bar with the "Cloudron is rebooting" message, even though when I used the Vultr instance console it was obvious that Ubuntu had completed the reboot and was ready.
    This is the third time I've had to do this. What am I doing wrong?

  • Reboot question
    D dfoy

    How long should a reboot take? I have had to restore from backups twice now after experiencing what seems to be an endless reboot that appears to never finish.
    It seems to be happening again (9/28/2021).
    Am I just being impatient?

  • Is it possible to give PHP apps precedence over HTML pages?

    @girish Thanks!

  • Is it possible to give PHP apps precedence over HTML pages?
    D dfoy

    I have limited experience setting up LAMP, and what I know I learned from DigitalOcean tutorials.
    One of their tutorials includes this on editing the DirectoryIndex directive in mods-enabled/dir.conf:

    /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dir.conf
    <IfModule mod_dir.c>
    DirectoryIndex index.html index.cgi index.pl index.php index.xhtml index.htm
    </IfModule>

    By moving "index.php" to the first position in the DirectoryIndex directive, I can cause index.PHP to run as the default rather than index.HTML.

    I realize I can just remove index.HTML if I want index.PHP to be the file that runs, but I wonder, is it possible for me to edit a DirectoryIndex directive somewhere, as per the tutorial?

    That would let me keep an index.HTML file on the site as a fallback in case PHP failed (unlikely, but surely possible).

  • Need to merge two accounts, apparently

    @girish Thanks -- I discovered this, finally. Don't know why I didn't see it immediately.

  • Need to merge two accounts, apparently
    D dfoy

    I was unable to get my Vultr one-click Cloudron to do anything, so I created another, assuming I had misconfigured something. Now when I try to use the second one, I am unable to register in the app store because "an account by that name already exists" which seems strange. I know it exists, and I'm trying to log into it. Not sure why I can't log into an account that exists because the account exists.
    But since it doesn't work, my guess is instead of allowing me to re-install with an existing account, you are requiring me to have a new account, so now I apparently have two somewhere down in the bowels of your software.
    Can you please merge them so I can get to work on trying to set up Cloudron on a Vultr server?
