Hi all,

just wanted to share a wow experience.

I had a Cloudron Premium server at DO for almost a year and wanted to migrate it to NetCup (better specs and cheaper).

The docs are very clear and promising (https://cloudron.io/documentation/backups/#move-cloudron-to-another-server) but yeah, you never know ...

Well, I know now .... within 5 minutes after entering the backup location details EVERYTHING (4 websites + Matomo + Searx) and all email (all together about 6GB) was in production on the new server including all DNS of all 17 domains.

Downtime: 0 seconds

This is really amazing!

Thanks @girish and @nebulon for this great product, I already was a Cloudron fan but now even more.

Kind regards,

Marcel.

@nebulon I see here https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/freescout-app an app with the comment "Basic installation without setup". I can't wait to see this great app in the Cloudron store

Keep up the good work!

Hi,

I was searching through help files and forum but didn't found a clear answer so maybe someone knows:

I want to install Zabbix Agent on the Cloudron server, it communicates to the 'external' Zabbix Server via ports 10050 and/or 10051. So I need to open these ports and even better allow only comms to specific IP.

In the Cloudron Docs (https://cloudron.io/documentation/security/#configuring-cloud-firewall) it says NOT to change/use IPtables, it also says you should then use DigitalOcean Cloud Firewall. But here is some discrepancy i.m.h.o.:

1. if I want to use DO Cloud Firewall, how do I switch off the "internal" firewall?
2. On that Docs page is a table of standard open ports I must configure in DO Cloud Firewall, but how do I know which extra ports are configured by or after installing an app as these have to be manually changed in the DO Cloud Firewall?
3. Is it a desired feature if Cloudron is able to configure (is there an API?) the DO Cloud Firewall?

Thanks already for your answers and opinions.

Kind regards,

Marcel

@girish it would be great to have Pi-hole in Cloudron and I agree with you it should be save.
Pi-hole itself advises to put it on top of OpenVPN: https://docs.pi-hole.net/guides/vpn/overview/

Is it possible to make a Cloudron-app with Pi-hole in VPN so you can make use of it anywhere AND safe!?

Kind regards,
Marcel.

Is it supported (and/or advised) to use Canonical Livepatch Service (https://ubuntu.com/livepatch) on the Cloudron server?

@jdaviescoates yes DO has also some metrics but not real-time and not so extensive and expandable as Netdata.

About packaging, yes of course I've read those but that doesn't mean you're able to create it immediately

Thanks all!

I just installed it on 1 of my Cloudron servers (at DO) to see and experience if and how it works.

This app will make a huge difference on Cloudron server as I’m currently missing real-time insights in ie. CPU, network I/O, etc

It looks like it’s really easy to install or setup but I’m not familiar (yet) with creating Cloudron apps.

@nebulon what are you guys using for real-time server monitoring?

BTW: their new GIT is https://github.com/netdata/netdata/wiki

This is something! +1 from me

Just to be sure, have you both clicked on the little up ^ arrow on the post at the top of this thread?

Because that's how to +1 in a way that counts

haha, ofcourse
