I started training in my teen years to be a bench jeweler and over a decade later in the jewelry manufacturing scene and after the advance of tech, I found myself becoming a 3D modeler. I've given up on my hammer and torch a while back. CAD and 3D printing are mostly what I do all day long now. I'm in the process of expanding into other fields as I'm using my knowledge in CAD/CAM to create all sorts of things. It turns out if you know CAD/CAM + Rendering + general knowledge in coding/tech, there's nothing you can't create and sell online. At this stage, I'm not sure what my job title is. A modeler, a creator, or a retailer? This question always makes me pause and I end up telling people, "I do computer stuff" and they assume I'm coding all day long

Hi,

I have a handful of apps that I elected not to back up automatically and it would be nice to have an option to group them to make it easier when I'm creating the backups manually.

Thanks!

@robi I'll get right on that. Thank you.

@marcusquinn I can't believe services like that exists. But I might have to use it if all else fails.

I dug a bit deeper and came across some interesting posts:

https://serverfault.com/questions/709736/how-does-dnswl-work-how-can-i-gain-better-trust

I visited DNSWL.org and registered for listing my domain and IP with them.

I ran a multi-RBL check against my server IP on Anti Abuse (http://www.anti-abuse.org/) and found out that SpamRats had it listed for spam. I just submitted a request for removal.

Now that I think about it. I regret getting rid of my old DO server. I've been using that for years and didn't have these issues. I should have used the new server as a transitional server while I installed Cloudron on the old one. Lesson learned.

@d19dotca My problem with Signal and most other apps is that you need a phone number or email address associated with the account which can be mined from the metadata.

Signal removed the "from" in the metadata but for an app that touts "secure communications", you'd think they would have done that since the app's inception.

You might say, "I don't have anything to hide" or "I don't care if they know some things about me" but all this info is being collected and they're building a profile about you so they can profit from it. That's the best case scenario. Now imagine dictators having that kind of power in their hands. What's stopping corporations, governments, organizations from abusing this power? Nada. We have to protect ourselves by denying them every bit of data no matter of irrelevant it may seem. Ask yourself, if it's that irrelevant, why do they want it so bad? Why does big brother want a backdoor into encryption?

I rest my case.

I've stopped torrenting altogether because there are a ton of streaming sites that have everything I've been looking for. I have an LG TV (WebOS) and I stream the movies through the browser. It works great, never lags or buffers, and I haven't gotten any letters from my ISP. I'm too lazy to set up the VPN on the router and that would eliminate the risk but AFAIK, streaming isn't illegal, only downloading is. I don't want to share the streaming site publicly but send me a DM if anyone is interested.

P.S. If you have a WebOS based TV, you can stream media from your PC directly to the TV by right clicking the media file --> Cast to Device --> Choose the TV from the list and voila!

@jdaviescoates This doesn't make sense though. It's like we're being forced to use big tech solutions or get thrown under the bus. If I have all the proper records set up with a clean server IP and sending score then they should go to the inbox. You wanna know what's really funny? I receive 5-10 spam emails per day from GMAIL accounts and they come right into my inbox.

@marcusquinn I'm still considered somewhat new to Cloudron and I certainly am one of those folk who seek help on the forum but I never expected an answer from the Cloudron team. I would open a support ticket for that but I got on the forum because I felt bad opening a ticket for random questions. It was quite refreshing to see them this active on the forum though but like you said, it does take away from their development time. It would be great to have moderators to help out.

I'm against expanding the forum categories since trying to find the right section to post in becomes a hassle. For example, it took me this whole time to stumble upon the "Help Wanted or Offered" section under "App Packaging & Development" and that's only one category deep. Since these categories are meant to help newcomers and people with no coding skills (like myself), they should be the first thing we see.

After frequenting the forums lately, I've noticed that most of the regulars on here are developers but Cloudron is meant to connect regular people with better hosting and apps so the main focus of the forum should be around that goal. To keep the development channel clean, perhaps there should be a special group for app developers with their own sub-forum. You can limit replies and new topics to the group or making those categories hidden from other users altogether.

TIL = today i learned

so if you click on the search icon in Firefox in the top toolbar while browsing this forum, you can easily add this site to the search engine list. You can then type a keyword in the search box, and then click on the forum favicon from the list, and it'll search the forum for you. Neat! I tried it for other sites and it didn't work, so it must be a nice feature in NodeBB.

@blaise I only posted the fresh install info because I never found that info posted anywhere so it'll come in handy for those of us looking to run Rocket chat for a small team/family. The recommended specs are 2GB RAM but it seems it'll be able to run on lower. Also, I was going to offer to use my install for testing but not with that attitude.

@blaise I don't know the figures for what you're asking for but I just set up a new server that has Cloudron and only Rocket Chat installed (with 1 user) and the server RAM idles at 1.5GB.

@necrevistonnezr Do you mind sharing the hardware/specs you're running?

@murgero How hard would it be to create a PHP 5.6 version instead of 5.5.9?

Also, would any of the above custom repo's run on Ubuntu 20.04 or will I have to stick to an older version?

@murgero I'm sorry to revive an old thread but I also need to run a PHP 5.x LAMP stack. I couldn't find the repo on the CR gitlab. Did it ever make it there?

@doodlemania2 What CR version are you on? I think this was patched in v6.2.7.

@jdaviescoates Precisely. Looking for a Commento/Disqus/TrustPilot/etc. replacement.

seems fine to me too

I'm looking for a customer review platform that won't hold me hostage to overpriced plans for reviews that I've earned from MY products/services. Are there any good open source or federated platforms? Does something like this even exist? Think Matrix but for customer reviews.

@JLX89 @ccfu They released a new update to the chat module that now includes business hours.

Chat Operating Hours added in the Chat Module v1.0.1
