Wow, just tried this out myself and it is truly amazing. Would be awesome to have on Cloudron.

@girish Does this help? I am sorry I am not as technical as some others in here but this "playbook" seems to have basically all the things. Most importantly (in my case) the bridges, with links to everything.

Maybe this would help you all see how it works and maybe provide a more "complete" Matrix instance for us to use.

@girish While it seems everyone is on the same page already that all this would be great just as an addition the previously linked playbook (https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy) now also includes a really nice looking moderation tool (https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy) which is also sorely needed in our Matrix instances.

Still hoping we can make something happen

There is an app that can currently be run locally to allow for management of any Matrix/Synapse instances and allows you to do some basic user/room management in an easy to use UI. I have linked the docker and github pages below. I have been able to successfully run this locally and manage any/all of my Matrix instances (Cloudron or otherwise) but it would be nice to have this packaged as an app for access via Cloudron.

@marcusquinn Change "file lifecycle" to "keep only the last version"? Just confirming that is the setting you mean. It was on the "keep all versions"

+1

Just another vote in for this. I would love to implement this with my element and matrix instances already on Cloudron. Would be super helpful in these current times.

@girish Awesome thank you, I appreciate the advice. All seems to be working great now.

Also thanks @marcusquinn

Just pointing out that getting "beeper" into cloudron as an app is not possible. According to beeper their app (web, mobile, etc) is not open source. This would actually be an expansion of the current Matrix/Element feature set provided by Cloudron as that ansible playbook is actually what is open source. In other words if the Cloudron team implemented everything from that playbook it would still be running on Element and have nothing to do with the beeper suite of apps.

This has actually been a discussion over here https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/3150/expand-matrix-app-features?_=1618311080337 for a while now.

@rbzvr Did you make sure to follow the documentation to actually make an account an admin? You won't be able to login properly without doing that first.

@d19dotca Yup to basically everything haha. My backups are set correctly but even hitting cleanup backups I have two backups from 3 weeks ago that won't go away. Besides that it definitely seems like I am being charged. My bill from backblaze jumped like $15 all of a sudden with a negligible amount of change in data that I actually use. So yeah I just want to start fresh and see what happens. I backup nightly so I should only ever have two backups. Not the 4 that cloudron is listing right now. And I should have nowhere near the 4tb that backblaze is saying I have.

Either way whether I or backblaze is doing something wrong I want to start fresh. So my original question still stands. How do I clear all backups and retrigger a fresh backup using rsync starting from scratch?

Would it be easiest and work for me to just create a new bucket with Backblaze and create a new config?

So I don't know what is going on but I have my backups set to Backblaze via rsync. And apparently I haven't really been paying attention but something really weird is going on so I just want to start fresh and see if it happens again. Currently I should have between 100-200gb backing up and the retention policy is supposed to cleanup every 2 days. Backblaze is saying I have around 4tb in the bucket.

So how do I clean out all backups and snapshots properly and just start fresh? Obviously I am just going to wipe everything out from Backblaze as a whole but how do I make Cloudron recognize that and start fresh?

@girish With that though... Forgive me if I am thinking too simply here (I recognize I am barely scratching the surface of this networking stuff with my knowledge) if I had a VPN setup on my cloudron would users connecting to that be able to make calls to eachother when on the VPN?
