Cloudron Forum

@marcusquinn Thanks for sharing. I personally don't have a dog in the fight, however I did discover kemp through networkchuck. I guess you could say I fell for the pitch. Although you are correct in the fact that the free version has limitations, I'm not sure if they would be limiting enough for a home network/homelab setting. The main purpose is to learn different technologies. Kemp's limitations are documented here.

Conversely, the article you linked seems to me a bit biased as HAProxy also has free and enterprise solutions. Granted HAProxy is open source and no limitations. I'm not sure about HAProxy, but at least from my experience, I was pretty much able to get kemp up and running from that one video.

In my initial experience with open source so far, it has been mixed. I don't mind getting my hands dirty but a lot of what I've come across is either somewhat outdated, or issues arise that no one else seems to be able to shed some light on. Sure, one might eventually learn enough to get things going if time isn't an issue.

Just my 2 cents.

@subven Sorry I wasn't clear on the domain thing. It's fixed now so no worries. I do have email working. I disabled mail in Cloudron (I don't see a use for it as it is just me), and redid the dmarc and other records that Google requires.

It was suggested that I post here since I am using this app, and apparently the only one (for now lol).

Info: Free Kemp Load Balancer

Pretty Good Tutorial:

@robi There is a pretty good tutorial (CloudFlare based)

about setting it up.

@girish I believe I might have solved at least part of the problem. I use a Kemp Load Balnacer that uses port 443. It also acts as a reverse proxy. Assuming everything for Cloudron uses port 443, I needed to create a content matching rule to direct to the correct domain. As for disabling Universal SSL, I had to generate new keys for everything else that uses it.

@subven I have gone ahead and disabled it. Now I get a connection timeout error no matter what browser I use. My other services are now down as well. I'm also not sure about the relevancy of the links you provided. The first link assumes I can get into the Cloudron dashboard which I cannot. It also says to provide the Cloudflare API key, which I did so in the initial setup. I was able to at some point without changing anything, otherwise how would I have successfully installed Guacamole?

Also, I re-enabled Universal SSL to see if my other sites come back. They do not. So I have to redo keys for those as well?

@subven I honestly don't remember setting anything up for SSL. When I first setup Cloudron I chose CloudFlare when it wanted the DNS info and that was it. As for disabling universal SSL, it looks as if I wouldnt be able to access anything I have via CloudFlare unless each service has its own encryption? I also use a Kemp load balancer that uses CloudFlare SSL including the root cert. Would that be affected? I don't remember doing anything with LetsEncrypt so unless it's running in the background and manages itself automatically I don't believe there was any input from me regarding that.

So I've been able to install Cloudron and get it working. I successfully installed Guacamole which is working fine and is accessible outside my network. I use CloudFlare for my domain including DNS. Unfortunately I've encountered an issue where my domain also uses Google Workspace (mysparenoggin.me). Since Cloudron was installed, Google has been blocking all outgoing emails (can still receive). I know this has something to do with DMARC but honestly I'm in over my head.

To add, I am also unable to access my Cloudron dashboard via the domain name (my.mysparenoggin.me). I get various SSL errors depending on the browser (HSTS on MS Edge, unknown issuer (CloudFlare when I view the cert) on Firefox, which additionally returns cannot find that site if I attempt to proceed). I would love to solve these 2 issues but I am at a loss on how to proceed. I did follow the troubleshooting steps from Cloudron Docs but all seems fine in that regard.
