Cloudron Forum

Hi everyone,

I've packaged I Hate Money as a Cloudron community app and have been using it for my own shared expenses.

For anyone new to the app: I Hate Money is a small, no-frills web app for tracking shared expenses in a group, such as flatmates, friends, or trips. It keeps track of who paid what and for whom and calculates how everyone can settle up. People you invite do not need an account; they can simply access the project via a link.

@staff — here is the catalog file for the Community Apps list:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jfilter/cloudron-ihatemoney/main/CloudronVersions.json

To install it, add that URL in the Cloudron dashboard under App Store → Community apps (requires Cloudron 9.1 or newer), or via CLI:

cloudron install --versions-url https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jfilter/cloudron-ihatemoney/main/CloudronVersions.json

Updates then arrive as automatic update prompts, similar to regular store apps.

What the package does:

• Uses the official upstream release, currently 7.1.1, on cloudron/base, installed from PyPI
• Wires up the MySQL and sendmail addons automatically
• Runs schema migrations on startup, so updates, including major version jumps, take care of themselves
• Disables public project creation by default
• Supports per-instance config overrides via /app/data/overrides.cfg, without rebuilding
• Includes end-to-end tests: the local Docker Compose test runs in CI, plus a test for the full Cloudron install/restart/uninstall lifecycle against a live instance

One thing to know after installing: you need to set the admin password before anyone can create projects (or enable public project creation instead). It's a single command, documented in the post-install message and the README.

Hi,

All campaign emails sent from the listmonk app leave with a
Message-ID header pointing at localhost.localdomain, e.g.:

  Message-ID: <1776433035469678859.1.4025817209405639301@localhost.localdomain>

This is a minor but real deliverability smell — some spam filters
have heuristics against it, and it's unambiguously a misconfiguration.

Root cause

listmonk uses the knadh/smtppool library. In
smtppool/email.go :: generateMessageID():

  h, err := os.Hostname()
  if err != nil || !strings.Contains(h, ".") {
      h = defaultHostname   // = "localhost.localdomain"
  }

https://github.com/knadh/smtppool/blob/master/email.go

app UUID (e.g. 9983cd4c-e53c-436e-af86-84bdbc749178) — no dot,
so smtppool falls back to the hardcoded localhost.localdomain.

The "EHLO hostname" setting in listmonk admin does not help —
smtppool uses it only for the SMTP handshake, not for Message-ID
generation (two separate fields in the library).

Proposed fix (Cloudron package, one-liner)

Set the container hostname to CLOUDRON_APP_DOMAIN — either via
--hostname at run time, or hostname "$CLOUDRON_APP_DOMAIN" at
the top of the start script. Message-ID then becomes
<…@listen.example.com> instead of @localhost.localdomain.

An upstream config option in listmonk/smtppool would be the proper
fix, but the Cloudron-side workaround resolves it immediately for
all Cloudron listmonk users.

Environment

• Cloudron: 9.0.0
• listmonk app image: cloudron/app.listmonk.cloudronapp:202603300219460000

Happy to test a patched build. Thanks!

It was resolved by activating the OpenID plugin. I am not sure how it was deactivated in the first place.

@joseph I use WordPress (Managed), and I have auto-updates enabled. It's running the latest version. It was restarted a couple of times. I don't think this is specific to my setup; therefore, I have reported it.

@joseph Yes, it's there.

Seems related, but I didn't update manually.

Hey, there appears to be a problem with the recent changes around the SSO plugins. On the wp-login page, there was no more "login with Cloudron" button. I had to reset the password to be able to log in. After the login, I saw this in the plugin section.

Hey @girish,

I also use the email address and mailbox managed by Cloudron. Besides sending emails, I also want to process bounces with Listmonk (via pop3). But to make it work, I have to open the terminal to get the credentials via printenv for the incoming mailbox. Do the credentials created by Cloudron stay the same, or do they change over time? Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks!

@girish Yes, I've used it. It's for developers, Wagtail just a package for a Django application. So “Supporting wagtail” is like “supporting any arbitrary Django application”. Wagtail makes it easy to build a custom CMS, but you still need a Django developer.
