@girish I have an iPhone XR running iOS 14.4 and everything works fine. I also have an old Samsung (forgot the model) that is running Android 5.0 and that works fine too. It's specifically one device that my friend is using (Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, running Android 7.0) that refuses to connect to my homeservers through the apps (Element, NextCloud Talk, MatterMost). I installed all three apps in Cloudron, connected to all of them just fine on both of my devices (ios and android). Something about that S6 Edge phone is giving us problems. Is the OCSP error I mentioned above unrelated to this connectivity issue?

Even though I got Matrix and the Federation to work. My friend still can't log into my Matrix homeserver so I decided to set up NextCloud Talk and Mattermost and see which ones work best for us.

Turns out they can't connect to ANY of them from their Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge running Android 7. I ask them to log in via the web browser just to test the account itself and they log in just fine.

It's a problem logging in with the android apps only that are running on my server and the error is almost the same across them all. For Matrix/Element, if they use the Matrix homeserver, it connects just fine.

Handshake error
SSL error
or something of the sort

I found this thread on Mattermost discussing certificate issues.

Quoting user "yanuk"

I upgraded the SSL certs to RSA4096 and it now works. I’m not sure what happened and why it only affected a single phone in office. Seems unique to only that phone.

I went to ssllabs.com and ran a test and got OCSP ERROR: Exception: connect timed out for the certificate path for the app.

**** I changed the domain in the screenshot for privacy by editing the page source - PM for more info ****

The question now is how to upgrade the type of certificate that Let's Encrypt is creating and have that change be permanent when the next renewal date is up. Thoughts?

@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.

@sebgg give this a read - i had the same problem and installing the element app and then deleting it might have fixed the ssl issue that might have caused the federation to fail.

BTW, make sure to install matrix first, then element.

@girish Oh, okay. That sounds like google will have access to the app's data. I'll stick to the second journal app I have listed above. Thanks Girish!

@girish I thought firebase is some kind of coding language like javascript or php. I'll read up on what it does exactly. Thanks for reply!

Hi,

I'm interested in trying out these apps:

https://github.com/gillkyle/sol-journal
https://github.com/trys/JournalBook

It says they need Firebase, Preact and IDB to work.

https://firebase.google.com/
https://preactjs.com/
https://www.npmjs.com/package/idb

Is this something that could work on Cloudron?

Thanks!

@murgero Thanks. That article helped me find the setting. Would have never guessed it's under the user profile.

I post on here instead of the app's forum because it's not really an important issue and I just wanted to hear what other users are doing. Also, it's kind of annoying to have multiple forum accounts for basic questions. Thanks again!

Hey guys,

Any idea how to enable notifications in the browser for new tickets?

I saw the modules on freescout's website and they're for mobile, slack, or telegram and I didn't see any options in the settings either.

Suggestions? Thanks!

@d19dotca Yeah, I get what you're saying. The process is not that bad though. As long as you keep the same settings, it's a drop and drop of the files and hitting the start button. It'll save them to the folder you had specified on a previous run and you'll be doing two things as once, resizing and crunching (less work for the server).

@d19dotca irfanview for batch editing (resize and crunching) https://www.irfanview.com/

@d19dotca said in How have you got your Matomo set-up?:

** I also enabled in that plugin to not count visits from sign-in admin users, I feel that keeps me from throwing off the analytic data a bit whenever I'm making a bunch of changes to the site where I'm needing to load up all the pages to check stuff in.

Nice catch. I forgot to turn that on after I was done setting things up. Thanks!

@jdaviescoates No problem. I forgot to mention that Firefox might give you a problem with error messages (just ignore them) but if Matomo doesn't seem to be registering any hits then try to disable DNT. With DNT on, I had issues with the hits showing up in the WP dashboard.

I'm using this WP plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-piwik/

WP-Piwik Settings

Matomo-Mode: Self-Hosted (HTTP, API)
Auto-Config: Checked
Add Tracking Code: Default Tracking
Javascript code position: Footer
Enable Cache: Checked

Matomo Install Settings - I'm running the bare minimum tracking to protect user privacy as much as possible while collecting enough info to understand my traffic

Anonymize IP by 2 Bytes
Keeping a short timeframe for deleting old logs
Enable DNT support
Geolocation - DBIP / GeoIP 2 PHP

This is a great online app. For personal use, I'm using TinyPNG's API but it's limited to 500 images/mo. It would be awesome to have a self-hosted option. For work, I use IrfanView (installs locally on your PC) and it can do batch conversions. With the right settings, I got it to work just as good as TinyPNG. I use it mostly to optimize 360 degree product renderings so I have thousands of images at a time. Works great.

@robi Ah, sorry. I have an old android 5.0 phone. I think I'll be introducing more bugs if I do lol.

@robi He is using Chrome on Android. I can confirm that in the Emby logs.

@nebulon I have not. I didn't think it's specific to the Cloudron package but this forum is my go-to forum nowadays. I'll post about it at the Emby forum later today. Thanks!

@nebulon possible.. he's not tech savvy at all but I don't see a place where he can do that. Also, changing the theme in the backend is a premium feature which I don't have so I have no explanation as to how it's even doable.

Hey guys,

First, I'd like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!

My friend just told me that Emby grabbed a Christmas wallpaper from his phone's gallery and added it as a wallpaper in the app. He's using Emby in Chrome and not through the android app.

Turning off the seasonal theme disables the wallpaper.

How is Emby able to access the phone's gallery and know which "holiday" picture to grab?

@marcusquinn I don't have collabora installed but I have a 4K monitor if you want me to test a link for you.
