Cloudron Forum

I have just discovered the notification settings, where I can get an e-mail in some cases.

However, what does "App is online" mean in this case? The others are clear.

They both do more or less the same, but Librechat is easier to set up and use, in my opinion, and I would prefer it on Cloudron.

@girish The other apps Cloudron has in this regard are not really good... judged by user-friendliness and mobile support.

This should make the installation of the Bluesky PDS easier: https://hub.docker.com/r/gravityfargo/bluesky-pds

Is there a reason not to use the cheapest option? Once you set up the nameservers to your server, aren't you basically done with whatever company you choose?

I use porkbun for that reason - they are cheap.

I think I can clarify this. Let's summarise what we all should know:

1. Open Web UI needs to create a user automatically as admin. Even if you use Cloudron for authentication, this user will only have user rights. You need to log in using the account with the demo credentials and give your Cloudron account admin rights. There is no way around this account.
2. If you decide to use the automatically created account, you cannot change its e-mail address, at least not using the GUI. It probably could be done in the database.
3. If you want to delete this automatically created admin user, you don't need external software. Within the cloudron app settings, you can go into the terminal and connect to postgres, then there is a user table.

This is probably the best approach.

I have just installed OpenWebUI and there seems to be an inconsistency here:

• A non-cloudron account is created even if I choose that user management should happen via cloudron. This is a super admin.
• I cannot change the e-mail of this account to make it "mine" (would be important for password reset, for example)

So, long story short, if I get this right, no matter what I do, there is a super admin account hanging there unused? So, I guess I would need to give this an indistructable password and create a new one for myself?

Right, yes, that would make sense!

I investigated this a little further and can see that none of my apps fully adheres to the backup schedule I set, which is 2 daily, 4 weekly (I run the automated backup once per day plus additional backups that I might manually initiate when I run an update, for example).

Here is an overview over some apps:
App1: has daily backups since 1st December (when I installed it first) without any interruption)
App2: has 24th, 25th, 26th November, then 1st, 2nd Dec, then everything since 8th Dec
App3: same as 2, but without the 26th November
App4: 22nd, 24th, 25th, 26th, 29th Nov., 1st, 2nd, 4th, and everything since 7th Dec.
etc.

I believe that means that none of my apps adheres to the schedule? I guess instead of going through every single app to delete backups manually, I would probably create a new object storage bucket for backup and delete the other one. But that also means I would probably need to do that once per month or so as the problem seems to be quite big.

I have another, smaller cloudron instance where I have the schedule "1 week" and I went through all apps there to check. Out of 6 apps running there, I could identify 3 backups that where older than 1 week, so I assume the problem happens there as well, but to a lesser extent.

@robi said in Delete older, manual backups:

Have you tried to temporarily add it back to backups and run a cleanup before an actual backup runs?

Yes, I have.

@girish If I delete the backups in the remote storage, will this delete the list entry in the app settings as well? Or just the actual backup?

I have an app that I do not include into automatic backups, because it is too big and causes the daily server backup to fail regularly. So, I usually update it whenever there is an update to the app manually.
However, how do I delete older backups for this application? They don't adhere to the backup rules I set globally, so "Cleanup Backups" doesn't work. I cannot delete these in the app settings either. I even tried to manually include these into the auomated backup because I assumed "Cleanup Backups" would work only then for this app, but this didn't work either.

How can I remove these unused backups as they take a lot of paid space with the backup provider?

4,5TB? Wow. I didn't know.

Never mind then

EDIT: However, I was referring to Bluesky Personal Data Server, which has reasonable requirements and can be run inside docker -
https://atproto.com/guides/self-hosting

Considering its recent surge in popularity, maybe it is worth revisiting whether bluesky can be set up in Cloudron.

I understand that the healthcheck is required, I just want to avoid showing it in the logs.
But okay, I will see if I can disable that in the custom code.

In my custom app, can I disable the healthcheck call every few seconds? I don't feel that this is helpful.

@nebulon said in Add default setting for robots.txt:

The default is actually to let the app handle this. If the setting is changed via the Cloudron dashboard, only then we basically overwrite whatever the app itself is serving up at /robots.txt

This sounds like there is a setting already to manage this centralised?

Every app has in its settings under Security a button called "Disable indexing".

I would suggest that Cloudron should include a setting in its general settings to "automatically disable indexing" for every newly installed app (assuming that changes will only be applied to all apps installed after that change or perhaps there is a separate setting to bulk-edit existing apps.

People might use Cloudron differently, but the majority of my apps is internal only, so wouldn't it make sense to make this a default setting for this use case, but optional, of course, so that others can make a different choice if needed?

I am with Vultr and they don't.

And do you have any idea where to sync this to? Would the usual backup provider work such as Backblaze?

Since Cloudron doesn't backup volumes, what is the best solution to handle that? I have about 250 GB (potentially growing) that I would like to have in another location.

I am assuming I would write a script with a cron job to back up regularly to a destination of my choice and have it run independently of Cloudron?

Hmh, this doesn't answer fully my question. So, if I set it to 100%, then it will use all cores, which is actually fine. But is there a security built in that it won't use literally all CPU on the computer? Otherwise, I don't understand why 100% is the default.
