Hello @imc67
You can use venv or uv to create virtual environments.
Here is a quick cheatsheet for venv => https://aaronlelevier.github.io/virtualenv-cheatsheet/
Many prefer uv these days, see => https://github.com/astral-sh/uv
thanks again! I used venv and it works very well!
@imc67 true
for some that would be great
for me, I hate immich, I think it is over-rated
and I hate that they hide behind disclaimers that things might break, even at this version release.
maybe it's semantics and looking after users, I think it betrays an underlying lack of confidence in their own work, or they just don't update their git page, but in either case ... run away !
maybe I will take another look someday
each to their own ! choice is good !
@imc67
Ah! Okay!
That is valuable information.
When announcing a new app directly link the documentation in that post.
I updated the post.
Thanks for the insight.
For the first one, I guess you are suggesting a real rsync between the existing files and the remote. I think the issue is that rsync itself relies on a remote rsync service. Cloudron's rsync is strictly speaking not rsync, more like "individual files are synced as opposed to tarball". Even with sshfs, one cannot know for sure if there is a remote rsync service running.
The second one looks like it can be fixed . I will should split this post though
@girish said in Ubuntu sub-version not updated?:
but be careful of those kernel updates
thanks for explaining, I'm on NetCup RS and during the upgrade procedure from 20.04 to 22.04 I remember seeing kernel updates going by and all went fine. I'll think twice before updating especially if it's not really needed.
@jdaviescoates said in Bug (?): since latest box version times are in AM/PM:
with rsync backups and so backups are virtually instant as not a lot changes.
But even with almost 200GB it takes about 2 minutes since the huge backup improvements lately!
@imc67 thanks for reminding. I have fixed this for next release. https://git.cloudron.io/platform/box/-/commit/f48231e309facd375935a2b13f869f4ba176e2c4
The apps itself run with minimal permissions but the Web Terminal gives you "root" access (this is a limited root and not server root) so that you can creates files as any user since some apps use multiple users. It's also required in situations where you restore/import the app and those files have different permissions than the one app uses.
But tl;dr this is intended. Use su like @murgero said or you can use gosu <username> <cmd> as well
