Cloudron Forum

I just learned about https://github.com/grishy/any-sync-bundle/ it is a repackaged server to make self hosting the sync server easier.

This example lists the environment variables that it needs to have set for external redis and mongodb:

For a Cloudron app that means building a new image, push it and update your app. No magic. (And for sure no complicated strapi transfer workaround needed....).

Maybe what is then needed is a kind of example or started git project that one can fork and add their own personal website on top of this fork. Maybe add example github/gitea actions to it.

git clone [your-repo-url] docassemble-cloudron

you didn't actually post your code. So far you post is just one big ai hallucination without something one can actually test .

Edit: ah it was buried at the very end.

As Robi is already saying. You can have a look at how other apps are doing this at https://git.cloudron.io/packages. A simple example is at https://docs.cloudron.io/packaging/cheat-sheet#one-time-ini as well.

The important thing is that you are creating this file inside of /app/data so that it is part of the persistent and backed up data

@ekevu123 it is this GitHub button which generates the 404:

The url it links to is:
https://github.com/login/oauth/authorize?client_id=Iv23liO6V8UT2lltQbw6&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Ftymeslot.app%2Fauth%2Fgithub%2Fcallback&response_type=code&scope=user%3Aemail&state=k48T-Q4bngldlgP1Sh2dSVyUHd8QQF8g3teeNc6uII0

@jdaviescoates everything needs to start somewhere.

@ekevu123 A nice additional feature would be to get calendars via ews.

I have wanted to check out your app and tried signing up to your hosted version. When signing up via GitHub i am getting a 404 from GitHub. Sign in via Google works. Later when trying to connect a Google calendar i am getting an error that 't****p***ve1@gmail.com' (censored by me, else you would probably be spammed) still needs to approve the app.

Edit: and the timezone detection is weird. I am located in the Netherlands. It auto selected Brussels as my city. When searching there was no Amsterdam. Searching for Berlin brought up the country Denmark.

In your documentation i found this

‘ SECRET=$(openssl rand -base64 64 | tr -d '\n')\ncloudron env set --app tymeslot.yourdomain.com \\n SECRET_KEY_BASE=$SECRET \\n PHX_HOST=tymeslot.yourdomain.com \\n PORT=4000’

Information like the domain are exposed by Cloudron already. https://docs.cloudron.io/packaging/cheat-sheet#environment-variables

maybe the Cloudron API can add them and provision certificates

But for that you need to add the domain to Cloudron in general and when/if a customer changes their dns settings to have the given domain no longer point to you, you will see failures to generate new certificates.

At my work we also have a service where users can point domains via cname to our service (to enable auto discover for mail clients). What we are using for this is a caddy based webserver doing on demand tls, which then proxies the requests to our actual app.

You can read more about it at https://caddyserver.com/on-demand-tls

I got an email from OVH last weekend as well. Similar story. Now that super cheap black friday server will cost 50% more on renewal.

Dear Customer,

We are reaching out to let you know about a pricing update on a limited set of OVHcloud VPS and Additional IP addresses. This will apply on your subscription's renewal date, provided it falls on or after Wednesday, 1 April 20261.

The pricing update applies to:

VPS 2026 range (VPS-1 to VPS-6) and VPS in Local Zones.
Additional IPv4 addresses.

This pricing update does not apply to the Kimsufi and So You Start server ranges. Service performance, availability, and support levels will also not change.

Yes, that is possible. Once you have logged in you can click this "server online" text and it opens a menu to give other users access to your current budget.

@3246 I am using Firefox. The flickering you see is when I am doing a reload of the page

https://cdn.9wd.eu/temp/Kooha-2026-02-16-17-39-36.webm

For me I see constantly changing prices on the website. At one moment Emby is 5,99, you do a reload of the page and then its 14,99.

The "Starting at £5.99/mo" is also wrong. As this is the price for monthly payment. When paying per year it is less than 5,99 per month.

Ah yes, I did not have the "i want this existing app, but with .." use case in mind.

@girish said in What's coming in 9.1:

The design requires Dockerfiles to work reliably since the images are not "backed up" .

I think for reliability it would probably be easier to backup the docker images instead of counting on well written Dockerfiles. But on the other hand even for these apps I would think the Cloudron base image will be used most commonly, so the chaos might be minimal.

Personally I would then rather use the community packages where I can have a pre built docker image that i can (more) easily deploy to Cloudron.

@Supaiku in addition to your high load average you also have two apport processes at the top of your list. So something has crashed or was killed and ubuntu is currently collecting logs for this.

I'm curious how the implementation for the community packages will look like. Are you saying you will monitor a manifest file and inside of the manifest would be a container tag, and when the manifest or the tag changes the app will be updated with this?

The custom app build and deploy functionality sounds quite neat. Since you mention it will be cli driven I suppose it is the responsiblity for the person running the cli to make sure that the right branch/tag is checked out?

@marcusquinn said in Option to Restore or Toggle the Old Cloudron UI Layout:

the Notifications UX has regressed

Yes, once you dismiss them now, they are simply gone.

@jdaviescoates said in Add UnifiedPush settings in documentation:

I could be missing something and I'm not even using the app, but just because I'd guess most people would want UnifiedPush stuff on in an app that's all about getting notified about stuff.

Unifiedpush is not used to send you notifications from Ntfy, but unifiedpush is a system that can use your ntfy server to relay notifications from apps through it, instead of using Google infrastructure for these. The list of supported software can be found at https://unifiedpush.org/users/apps/, but at least when testing this with NeoChat I not only needed give write access to up_*, but also read access.

@mononym said in Add UnifiedPush settings in documentation:

When choosing ntfy as UnifiedPush the app created some random string (i.e. the ntfy topic) and it starts with up. In the end, it is difficult to guess the topic name as it is random and as long you're not subscribed to that topic, you won't see the messages as well. Basically, write-only access is not enough to use the nfty server like a public instance as credentials are necessary to read the topic.

What I personally find difficult with Unifiedpush is giving the whole world the ability to send data (text and files) to your server. There are too many bad actors on the internet for this to be a good idea.

In general yes Pangolin could do something like that. But I don't think this will work without fiddling with Cloudron internals. Its probably best if this would be a feature of the Cloudron native vpn app.
