I am a Physician and a Medical Informaticist.
I am also into Medical Education, work at a University.

What I am not is a software engineer or system administrator.
This is exactly why Cloudron is nothing less than magic for me.

Thanks @nebulon and @girish for such a fantastic software.

I was on sandstorm earlier and came to cloudron very early on.

Cloudron has empowered me to run a dozen or so apps without a fuss. Customer support (hands on by the founders) is the single greatest and top feature of cloudron.

One of the best replacement for Google Photos and generally a great photo gallery software is PiGallery2.
OpenSource, Docker-based, Fast and minimalistic

The gallery is a directory first gallery. It renders your directory structure as it is. Creates thumbnails on the fly. Can be run without any database but support sqlite and MySQL databases too.
Features:
Photo viewer
Nice photo viewer with optional information panel that shows all important information about the photo.
Map
PiGallery2 reads the location data of the photos and puts them on a nice map. The gallery also supports *.gps file to show your tracked path on the map too. It by default supports OpenStreetMap and Mapbox, but you can also add you own favourite map provider.
Advanced searching
App supports full boolean logic with negation and exact or wildcard search. It also provides handy suggestions with autocomplete.
Sharing
You can share your photo folders with your friends. The sharing link can be also password protected.
Video playback
It also supports *.mp4, *.webm, *.ogv and *.ogg files.

I am actually going to propose uptime-kuma as an app for cloudron. Its brand new.
Please check it out. https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma
Perhaps you can help package it please? It has a docker version.

In Cloudron, each app has the same set of tabs:
Display
Location
Access Control
Resources
Storage
Graphs
Security
Email
Updates
Backups
Repair
Uninstall

I wish that there were Universal Pages that have all the apps (with tags based filtering) with corresponding status information, and also, if possible switches/toggles, etc.
E.g.
Universal Automatic Updates Page
Where, all the apps are on one column and corresponding automatic updates status in the second column and 'Enable/Disable Automatic Updates' button is on the third column.
At one glance, we could discern which of our apps are on automatic updates, which ones are not - and toggle their settings.

A birds eye view of all the apps, if you please.
Right now, I have to go into the settings of each app separately to look at their settings.

@marcusquinn I am not sure if I am missing something, but out of the box, EspoCRM seems to quite barebones with just core CRM modules, without many features such as Quotes, Invoices, etc that are available as a paid Extension Packs (Annual subscription plans).

So, to replicate Odoo or ERPNext Self Hosted Open Source versions involves annual payments right?

Please correct me if am wrong, but while Odoo's most attractive features are unavailable in the open source community version, ERPNext seems to be the real deal.

@girish Fantastic, just in time!

Cloudron is a gift that keeps on giving.

Uptime Kuma is a new tool for uptime monitoring.

The version 1.0.0 is out - it may not be mature for primetime, but worth a look.

Features
Monitoring uptime for HTTP(s) / TCP / Ping.
Fancy, Reactive, Fast UI/UX.
Notifications via Webhook, Telegram, Discord and email (SMTP).
20 seconds interval.

Hi all,

Cloudflare announced three new technological offerings of which, two will surely be of interest to us, Cloudronians (or is it cloudrons/cloudrants/Cloudrians?)

1. Cloudflare R2 Object Storage
Apparently there is no bandwidth fees or egress fees and the pricing is flat 0.015 USD per GB of data stored per month.
Question: Is this the cheapest compared to Backblaze B2 / Wasabi / etc?

2. WebRTC, Livestreaming service
An API for WebRTC using Cloudflare's global edge network.

Today, we’re launching our closed beta WebRTC Components, allowing teams running centralized WebRTC TURN servers to offload it to Cloudflare’s distributed, global network and improve reliability, scale to more users, and spend less time managing infrastructure.

All this look exciting, but things are not clear yet - particularly pricing and tiers.
Hope cloudron will be ready to take advantage of these for backups and bigbluebutton/ other RTC apps.

Discuss, please!

Hi,
A Feature suggestion please:

I installed wordpress on cloudron and found the first user to be 'admin' (users handled by app) - I manually added another administrator user and deleted the first one.

May I suggest that the first administrator username be something different since bruteforce attacks try 'admin' first before anything else.

This could be a good practice. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks!

@girish Thank you for the debug. Will add the line!

@d-sein said in No Mails from Moodle - PHP Error in Cron / Scheduled Task for sending E-Mails:

Hello,

this is my first post here at the cloudron forum with the need of any helping input for fixing this (big) problem...

On 2 instances (VM's) with cloudron and the moodle app we have the problem that e-mails from forums and maybe other activities are not send.

Outgoing E-Mails (SMTP) are ok and tested. Also ok and tested are direct (mass-)messages from a course to enrolled users as e-mails.

It seems that the cron can not be completed while running / idle scheduled tasks.

In both instances found the following PHP Error in the scheduled task "core\task\messaging_cleanup_task"

Have the same error.

@girish Any ETA for the Moodle 4.0, please?

Hope we can update to the 4.0 at the earliest.
The UI definitely looks decluttered and a lot more polished.

Hi,

In the Cloudron Appstore, under CRM category, only MonicaHQ, Espo CRM and Chatwoot are listed currently.

Dolibarr is missing. In fact, Dolibarr is not found under any category.

I think this is overlooked rather than by design.

Could you please tag and categorise Dolibarr (by definition, ERP and CRM) under CRM?

Thanks

Hi, I am trying to install Attendize on a Cloudron LAMP app.
I followed the instructions from here.

Hi, I wish to enable password reset by the users (by default the feature seems disabled).

I found that this function can be enabled by running the following commands in the Rails Console:

RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails c
Setting.lost_password="1"

However, I have no idea how to do it. Can somebody please shed some light?
Or is there some other setting in the administrative area or easier way I am overlooking?
Lots of thanks in advance!

@scooke Ah! Ok, I will try this, thank you!

Hi,
I was trying to install Pressbooks.
When I tried to first install a Wordpress Multisite, I ran into issues.

Issue 1: When installed as a subdomain multisite with a subdomain, the sub of subdomain is NOT supported by SSL.
The following image shows that this can work, but I couldn't get the Let's encrypt SSL with wildcard DNS based sub-sub-domains to work.

That is, site1.msite.cloudron.club won't have SSL.
msite.cloudron.com > wildcard SSL will work
subdomain.msite.cloudron.com > wildcard SSL doesn't work.

Or is there something I am missing?

I quickly pivoted to try directory based wordpress multisite and used the following command in the terminal

/app/pkg/wp-convert-multisite --subdirectories

as per instructions from this documentation page as follows:

Open a Web Terminal. To use subdomains in multisite mode:

/app/pkg/wp-convert-multisite --subdomains

You can pass --subdirectories to install in subdirectory mode.

However, I got the following error - Issue 2:

/app/pkg/wp-convert-multisite: line 35: $2: unbound variable

And no changes were made to the .htaccess file.

I would appreciate if this can be looked into please. Thank you!

@girish Can you please confirm if cloudron has support for Ghostscript and Imagemagick? Thank you!

@girish said in PressBooks - eBook Publishing based on WordPress Multisite:

@jonathanwexler Thanks for testing!

I noticed that https://docs.pressbooks.org/installation/ has some requirements like poppler-utils. I think they are not part of the WP package. Let me know if some of those are required and I can add them to the package.

On a side note, looking forward to your book. I think there is a real lack of introductory guides on fediverse (history, motivation etc).
