Cloudron Forum

@girish and @jdaviescoates

Thank you very much for all these precious explanations I understand much better and the different options you have presented to me should do the trick. Thank you for taking the time to be an educator

By the way, I don't understand what the openVPN application is for either, if I can't connect a computer in my house to the cloudron server to share data. Would anyone have a use case for me to understand please?

@jdaviescoates, thanks for your reply. I'm running into a problem: I can't figure out how to integrate object storage into an application. I know it's possible to connect, for example, an S3 for backups with Backblaze and authentication tokens, but this seems to be limited to backups.

Following the discussions, I understood that the OpenVPN application doesn't offer the possibility of connecting a remote device to access a shared folder. So, if I install JellyFin, I wonder how to access my movies. The storage options in the application settings seem only linked to local server volumes.

I haven't found any tutorials or instructions on how to connect storage.

Yes it's a positive video, it's thanks to this youtuber that I'm here, he did a great explanation of cloudron and I guess I'm not the only one in his community to have joined the cloudron avanture thanks to him

Hello,

I've been testing Cloudron for a few days and have some questions. Recently, I tried connecting an external hard drive via a Raspberry to my Cloudron server using NFS and VPN, but it didn't work as expected link to the topic

My main question is:
How do you manage large data storage (1-3 TB) on a VPS server, considering storage is expensive and limited (40 GB in my case)? I had thought of using a Raspberry to easily connect 5 TB, but that seems unfeasible. What are my options for increasing storage at a reasonable cost?

Thanks

I'll give it a try. Thank you very much for your help and explanations.

OK, I understand better, thanks for the explanation. Is there a way to connect an ssd from my house to the server?

I'd say I could install a vpn on the server via ssh (WireGuard) and therefore not use Cloudron's openVPN application. But I don't know if this would have any impact on Cloudron's operation?

Also something I don't understand is that my raspberry is well connected and the cloudron OpenVPN application detects the raspberry well. But if I connect with ssh to the Cloudron server and ping 192.168.1.36 local ip of the pi or 10.8.0.6 ip of openVPN

No matter, the ping doesn't work. It's weird, the vpn should make the server see the raspberry on the network?

Thank you for your help

I've just tried, on my Cloudron server I did :

mount -t nfs -v 192.168.1.63:/mnt/yotta ~/test/
mount.nfs: failed to apply fstab options

but with sudo return :

sudo mount -t nfs -v 192.168.1.63:/mnt/yotta ~/test/ 
mount.nfs: timeout set for Wed Nov  8 15:58:10 2023
mount.nfs: trying text-based options 'vers=4.2,addr=192.168.1.63,clientaddr=91.134.91.178'

And the terminal stays like that, nothing else happens.

If I do journalctl -fa or dmesg

for journalctl -fa :

mount -t nfs -v 192.168.1.63:/mnt/yotta ~/test/
mount.nfs: failed to apply fstab options

journalctl -fa

for dmesg I have a very long :

Hello everyone,

I'd like some help / explanation about connecting an NFS share with Cloudron.

I have a raspberry with ip 192.168.1.63 on my home LAN.
On Cloudron I installed OpenVPN and created an .ovnp file, then put it in the raspberry. Now the raspberry is connected with ip 10.8.0.6.

I created a /mnt/yotta folder on my raspberry and modified the /etc/exports file with this:

/mnt/yotta IP_OF_MY_CLOUDRON(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
/mnt/yotta 192.168.1.0/24(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)

On my Mac, if I do

mount -t nfs -v 192.168.1.63:/mnt/yotta ~/nfs/rpi_test/

My mac mini connects well and everything works.

Now on the Cloudron interface I go to Volumes then Add Volumes

The connection doesn't work. I've looked everywhere and can't find what's wrong. If someone can explain to me what I'm doing wrong, it would be very simple. Thanks in advance.
