I don't have any experience with this but a streaming capture card that gamers use could work, like this one. It's OBS-certified too.

Currently, I'm using Wyzecams (not recommended) and looking to move to a Raspberry Pi solution instead using MotionEye. This has been on the backburner for a while now. Having a Cloudron alternative would be ideal.

@ekevu123 try restarting the mail service in your CR dashboard.

One issue I ran into while trying to forward mail is that the provider you're forwarding to needs to support SRS. I wanted to use Proton Mail but their support told me they don't support SRS so I often have mail bounce back.

@jdaviescoates I'm way off here but... my router's admin page auto logs me in at work if I'm signed in to my vault even though I have auto-fill disabled. Try logging in in a private window (or with all extensions disabled). It also happens to me on Costco dot com. Do you have the passwords saved in your vault?

Edit: I can't reproduce it either on a fresh install. I copied Girish's code like you did in your video. Works fine

Another thought, check Firefox's native password manager if it's still on and it's auto-filling the pass.

I can reproduce it if the code is like this:

export LISTMONK_app__admin_username=admin
export LISTMONK_app__admin_password=sBd@ni7fjTo2J3KGRKprGm@YXPxXh7FkJzhatxGgvKJ69gAKA^gu4zfBMYjj*Gfk62nzW@M!W8VwB*epYDtPp%QApFVELKmtwkY63LJYVv@DAsMHwxucNHYFjRxT&

Maybe it's a visual bug because of the double ' ' that gets auto-completed as you type ' in the web terminal at the end of the pass.

@jdaviescoates Maybe you can use a desktop recording software like OBS for now. From there, you can upload it to Youtube if you want.

@scooke said in Request: Include S3 Storage Module:

@girish There it is!!

Just want to point out that your domain is visible in the screenshot, in case that wasn't intended.

I assume Livepatch removes the need for the occasional "restart required" in Cloudron, right? Any other benefits?

@LoudLemur Supposedly supply chain issues and the extra demand. I think what triggered the demand is that you can officially boot from an SSD now without any hacks.

You can get a mini PC for around USD $120 on eBay that's a lot more powerful than an RPi will ever be. You're looking at i5-6500T or better and 8GB RAM. They have two DIMM slots, expandable up to 32GB. Power wise, they draw about 40W. They all have a slot of an 2.5" SSD drive + M.2 drive for extra storage.

Search for these:

• elitedesk mini (G2, G3)
• thinkcentre tiny (M700)
• optiplex micro

RPi prices have skyrocketed. A new RPi 4 4GB board was $45 a while back, now you can sell it for over $100 used on eBay.

Were you one of the lucky ones that got picked? I'm still waiting for my spot to open up.

@girish When does Cloudron support end for Ubuntu 20.04?

bumping for exposure...

@LoudLemur The translation is worse than Google though

LibreTranslate https://libretranslate.com

Hello with each other,

Currently, volumes in the apps can only be mounted after "/media/{volume name}.

for some apps it would be useful to determine the target itself. for example, the nextcloud app would be easier to store the storage for the data. it would then be useful to be able to specify mounts even when installing the app.

then only asks how backups of the volumes can be solved, because currently volumes are not secured.

How do you see that?

@LoudLemur Thanks for the heads up. I upvoted!

Thanks to @BrutalBirdie for referencing the service in this thread. Out of curiosity, I wanted to see how accurate DeepL's translation is and whether they live up to their claim of "the world's most accurate translator". I'm using the text from the thread that started this so here goes:

Google Translate

Hello together,

currently volumes in the apps can only be mounted to "/media/{volume name}".

For some apps it would make sense to determine the destination yourself. With the Nextcloud app, for example, it would be easier to outsource the storage for the data. In addition, it would make sense to be able to specify mounts when installing the app.

The only question then is how backups of the volumes can be solved, because volumes are not currently being backed up.

How do you see it?

Hello everyone,

currently volumes in the apps can only be mounted to "/media/{volume name}".

For some apps it would be useful to define the target itself. For example, in the Nextcloud app it would be possible to more easily swap out the storage for the data. It would also make sense to be able to specify mounts when installing the app.

The only question then is how backups of the volumes can be solved, because currently volumes are not backed up.

How do you see this?

@ApplegateR I just tried what @msbt mentioned and it works great. One error I ran into was that after uploading the files to a root surfer app and trying to log in, it spit out a "session expired" error. It turned out the account I was using wasn't an admin. To make a user an admin, refer to the doc here.

Basically, in Cloudron --> app settings page --> web terminal, and enter this code.

PGPASSWORD=${CLOUDRON_POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD} psql -h ${CLOUDRON_POSTGRESQL_HOST} -p ${CLOUDRON_POSTGRESQL_PORT} -U ${CLOUDRON_POSTGRESQL_USERNAME} -d ${CLOUDRON_POSTGRESQL_DATABASE} -c "UPDATE users SET admin=1 WHERE name='@user:example.com'"

The only part you need to edit is the one at the end to match your desired Matrix user:

@user:example.com

Then, you can log in and manage the Matrix server.

According to this Paperless-NG doc page, there's an app for iOS called QuickScan which lets you take a picture of your document and have it saved to "your favorite location". I just tried the app and I like it so far. I'm trying to connect it to my NextCloud via WebDav but my credentials aren't working. Do I need a specific plugin for Nextcloud or something?

Below is a screenshot of the app's integration options.

@jtippetts MB, I should have been clearer. You should have asked this question in the thread I referenced above instead creating a new one. You'll grab more attention by replying to the main post since it'll ping all the participants that were involved in the packaging. Also, there's a sticky about searching before posting

Please see the edited post above. The results of each test for each provider are overall consistent with Cloudflare crushing the competition.

@girish You mentioned these numbers are "cached". How accurate are these numbers after averaging them? Aren't these what an actual visitor will experience since the initial query could hold up the web page loading?

@jtippetts There's a thread for it here.

It took me 10 mins to figure out it's called CODE in the app store

I made a mistake with my initial findings regarding the TLDs available for registration with CF.

Here is the full list of TLDs supported for registration with Cloudflare: https://www.cloudflare.com/tld-policies/

@girish Noted. Will do!

Hi Felix. Thanks for the guide. How is updating the app handled?

Notes:

• Decimals rounded to whole number.
• The dash represents lack of data for that server during the test.
• Number of tests: 14
• Time varies by +- 30 mins

TLDR: Noco buggy af and wondering if it's just me. Yours running smooth?

Error code: 400 (can't remember the rest as I'm seeing red rn.)
Browser: Firefox 101.0
Package version: 1.2.2

RANT (sorry!)
I created a new project and table then added some fields. The default column type is "single line text" but if you try to change it to "numbers" after it's been created, you get an error (note that no data entries have been made yet - blank page). I had to delete that column and select "numbers" instead. If you enter number with a decimal (say, 2.5) you get an error. So you delete that column again and stick to the default "single line text". While I'm entering the data into the fields, the entire browser starts flashing white/black boxes. Refreshing the page does nothing but CTRL+W closes the Noco page and flashing is gone. CTRL+SHIFT+T and Noco's working fine again. I finish that table and wanted to work on a new project and that's when all the work that I entered didn't save at all.

P.S. I know I should post this upstream but I'm not looking to fix it if it's broken for everyone else on here. If that's the case, I'll just stick to Baserow.

@jdaviescoates said in *Really* lightweight, simple (use and administration) real time chat? Does it even exist today?:

Sadly not open source

Sorry! I skimmed the post, I must have missed that requirement

Teamspeak, it's in the CR app store. They have apps for iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, and Linux. It has extensive admin features if you want to create private channels for groups. TS5 is in beta which looks and works like Discord but minus the privacy invading policies. The best part is that your users don't need to "register" for an account. They download the client/app, enter the server address (and password if you have one set) and they're in!

@doodlemania2 I know OVH Cloud has unlimited bandwidth. The connection speed increases with each higher plan.

@nebulon Good to know. Thank you!

@marcusquinn Great idea! I have some laying around (Feit brand) but I keep losing access to them in the FEIT app. My custom schedules kept working though.

For the router, I could use something more reliable like a manual one that I got from IKEA like a decade ago. I can't find anything like it on their current website. It's a 24 hour timer and you set it up by pushing the black pins down to control the power.

@LeeW Hetzner and Netcup were next on my list but at that time they lacked a US server location which is why I went with Contabo. I spun up a Contabo VPS and ran a Cloudron on it as a test for a month. It worked fine so I moved my production server from DigitalOcean. I'm paying almost the same amount but I have MUCH more resources (especially RAM).

I feel I made the right choice by switching because if something does go bad provider wise, most likely it's network stuff that you can do nothing about but wait it out. Also, DigitalOcean' support takes just as long to respond. Having done an actual Cloudron migration, I'm less stressed about switching hosts if things do go south. The process was super easy and the only real "hassle" is the propagation time. Of course, this relies on you having S3 backups with a third party like Backblaze, etc..

How do you safely turn off a Cloudron home server if you want to perform some hardware maintenance?

I know there's a restart button in the dashboard and the lack of a shutdown button must mean I need to use the terminal. If so, does the standard Ubuntu "shutdown now" command do the trick?

If you have the backups and time to move quickly

The power of Cloudron

@LeeW said in Contabo: New UK Region:

Also, have you noticed that all their pricing is in EUR by default, makes sense given they are in Germany. But a €5.99 plan when the currency is changed to GBP becomes £6.99..

It's the same thing for US customers. It shows $6.99 for the starting VPS. I think that's the conversion rate + a "foreign" transaction fee.

@MooCloud_Matt I agree, my experience with their support has been off-putting but the pricing and overall performance of their VPS' is keeping me as a customer so far.

@LeeW I've had a hickup with downtime when I first signed up for a VPS with them but it's been running perfectly since. Do you remember what issues they ran into?

@jtippetts did you open the required ports in your router?

https://docs.cloudron.io/security/#cloud-firewall

I just finished setting up a CR home server to run Nextcloud so I can keep all my files "in-house". I have the primary domain (say, domain.com) added in a Cloudron hosted with Contabo. So for my home server, I went with gem.domain.com but I cannot add the parent domain (domain.com) into my home server without a second paid subscription plan. Shouldn't the parent domain be allowed on the free plan considering it's the same domain?

TLDR: cannot add primary domain to a secondary CR on the free plan.

@girish @nebulon Please mention this in the docs or if possible, allow us to add the primary domain on a child-CR (free plan).

This thread is what you're looking for: https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/6957/using-the-same-domain-across-multiple-cloudrons/2?_=1653997170746

@girish on a related note, is it possible to simply swap RAM sticks (16GB upgraded to 32GB) without having to do anything in terminal?

@timconsidine how hard would it be for someone like me to package an app if I don't know any programming languages?

What are the steps involved? How are the "connections" made? Is it similar to editing a config file where you enter the db name and pass, etc.? Do all apps involve the same packaging method considering apps can be built with different languages and tools (Go vs PHP, etc.)?

These are some questions that I can think of. As with anything new that I'm trying to learn, I'd like to see a video showing how it's done from A-Z with commentary going into detail on why they did it this way and if there are alternative methods (pros vs cons kinda thing).

@d19dotca A while back I cloned an existing IN v5 app and tried setting up Stripe and had weird issues. I ended up using a fresh install and that fixed it.

I just checked my IN v5 health check and I get the same error but with a different subtext: composer.json is not writable.

@girish Noted. Thanks, Girish!

@micmc Good point! I haven't thought about it from a devs perspective.

@girish Proton support just sent me this..

Unfortunately, ProtonMail doesn't support "Sender Rewriting Scheme (SRS)"

@girish Yes, it's in a separate email that I receive after sending a test email.

(mail.mysite.com: domain of mail-vs1-f45.google.com does not designate 209.85.217.45 as permitted sender) receiver=mail.mysite.com; identity=helo; client-ip=209.85.217.45 helo=mail-vs1-f45.google.com; envelope-from=<testacct@gmail.com>

Is it possible to forward mail to email1 then forward it again to email2?

I'm getting an error and I'm not sure if it's Roundcube related or just mail limitations:

 Failure Reason: Error: 501 5.1.7 Bad sender address syntax

I've tried multiple filter types in Roundcube but they all end up with a "Message delivery failure notice".

The reason for all this is because the default iOS Mail app sucks at notifications and I'm fowarding mail from all my domains to one Cloudron inbox and then have that forwarded to ProtonMail (their iOS app is awesome and you can set a pass code on the app too!).

Thoughts?

@nebulon said in List of apps that support LDAP/Cloudron User Directory?:

For a start

There's more? I think that list fits the bill perfectly. Thank you!

Yourls lets you track link clicks so that might work for this use case. It's in the CR app store if you haven't come across it yet.

@jdaviescoates I have experienced CF powered sites throw the captcha at me each time I visit so that part is still accurate. To be fair though, I do use a VPN and have non-default/stricter privacy browser settings, and make use of uBlock and other privacy oriented plugins so I understand why the captcha's keep coming up. With that said, I don't want to punish my fellow privacy-oriented users so CF gets the boot.

@micmc since someone on this forum pointed out once that CF is involved in censorship, I'd rather avoid them if given the chance. My main reason though is that I try to avoid using any services from big tech (google, fb, etc.). DO went public a while back which caused me to switch to another host but I'm looking to move from manual to automated DNS and DO is my only viable option atm.

I just learned that you can have two authoritative providers. Is it worth it to have records duplicated over to the secondary provider for both manual and automated DNS in Cloudron?

@girish said in Using the same domain across multiple Cloudrons:

I can then add cloudron.io as a Domain into 1.cloudron.io, 2.cloudron.io, 3.cloudron.io. If I try to install an app into git.cloudron.io into any of these cloudron, you will see a "warning" that something else is already there.

So the warning occurs only if DNS is automated. What would happen with manual DNS and I were to install two apps on two Cloudrons using the same subdomain, ex: git.cloudron.io? Which app takes priority? I assume it's the Cloudron on the primary domain, right?

@everyone - Unrelated and a silly Q (sorry): Can I use DigitalOcean DNS for free even if I don't have any active services with them?

@ApplegateR I just want to mention that WP dev is indeed stable. The difference is that it allows you to install all plugins that would need to modify the core files, etc.. I have multiple WP dev sites that auto-update and work perfectly. I recommend installing Wordfence for security and to limit brute force attacks.

@girish I'm getting more backup errors but it's a bit different. Is this another temp network hiccup or something more serious?

This happened 3 days ago but I ignored it.

Backup failed: Could not pipe http://172.18.0.12:3000/backup?access_token=xxxxxxxxxxx to /home/yellowtent/appsdata/xxxxxxxxxxx /dump.rdb: Request timedout

Then another error 7 hours ago:

Backup failed: Could not pipe http://172.18.0.3:3000/databases/dbxxxxxxx to /home/yellowtent/appsdata/xxxxxxxx/postgresqldump: Request timedout. 

I replaced the actual values with xxxxxxxxxxx in case those are sensitive.

Edit: two more backup attempts failed today and I received an email from my cloudron saying a full backup failed this time. I have a flight today. I'll email the logs to support when I can. Thanks!

@nebulon said in ARM official support?:

the overhead on our side per app update is quite big.

I have over 5 RPI's used as a NAS, media center, VPN, security system, etc. and as much as I would love to have Cloudron on ARM, I have to side with Nebulon on this. I'd rather have time invested into adding more apps like cough Anonaddy cough.

@jdaviescoates Add Hostinger to the list too. I signed up for a basic web hosting plan with them. I created a secondary user account in their admin panel for my developer so he could have access and it didn't work. I contacted support and it took them weeks to get it sorted. Meanwhile, I ended up sharing my main account credentials. I was asked identical questions by different staff (under the same ticket) and I was tossed around like a beach ball in a techno festival. I had better experiences with EIG owned hosts and those guys absolutely s***.

@necrevistonnezr said in How to stop Roundcube session ending when I close my laptop lid?:

$rcmail_config['session lifetime‘] = 10080;

If I'm not mistaken, there's a typo in that code. After LIFETIME, the ending ' seems to be something else.
