Cloudron Forum

@scooke said in My Cloudron experience:

So, you aren't using Cloudron though for your tasks?

Nope. Every solution I tried did not work for me. Apparently the CalDAV 'definition' for recurring tasks is not well defined, which leads to tasks not repeating properly when you mark them as 'complete' on a different app from where they were created.

Solutions I tried:

Vikunja - their Android app is alpha and is not very appealing so far. Tasks (Android app) + Vikunja - Cannot currently get reminders in the Tasks app if you create the task in Vikunja. Tasks + CalDAV + {insert Windows app here} - I tried this a few different ways: Thunderbird, EMClient, Outlook + CalDAV plugin, etc. Either the solution is overkill or it didn't work when I tried it. NextCloud Tasks - no recurring tasks Obsidian with Tasks plugin - still need to play with this more. I don't know if tasks created in Obsidian will trigger a reminder notification in the Obsidian Android app.

And for the WebDAv for your Obsidian notes... how are you accessing a Cloudron WebDAV option? Is it through the NextCloud app?

Yes, I was previously using Cloudron's surfer app. However, since I ended up using NextCloud as a Google drive replacement and NextCloud provides a WebDAV connection, I went with that. Both seem to work equally well.

The instructions make it clear to install it on a clean VPS... so why add non-Cloudron stuff? The reason is not "control", as in Cloudron wants to control what you do with your VPS. That line of thinking is like saying, "Hey, this is MY laptop and I want to use it in the swimming pool to keep cool." The laptop manufacturer isn't going to stop you from doing what ever you want to do with your laptop, but if you want it to work, then follow the instructions!

Plus, if someone goes ahead and starts adding this, or testing that, and something will break, then they are going to come here and, at best, ask for help and take up time from actual legit problems, or at worst just complain how Cloudron doesn't work.

Clean VPS for installation. Keep it Clean for continued functioning.

@jdaviescoates said in Force logout after browser close and/or certain duration:

I guess is this is a real security concern for you, you could manually logout beforehand?

True.

My main reason for requesting this feature is that the administrative controls are only a few clicks away. I suppose I could create a separate non-admin user account for myself and run my apps under that account.

That worked. Excellent. Thank you!
