@girish Had this issue too. Will drop a mail later today.

@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.

When I got to the composer install, I got the following errors and I am not well versed with linux, composer, etc.

Thank you very much!

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).

Caprover is fine for testing various apps, experimenting and whatnot.
For mission critical operations, nothing comes close to Cloudron.

I have a caprover too since it has Odoo. But I have to reboot it every other day, since it just stops working randomly without any error message.

I look to the day I can run Odoo on Cloudron.

Found the issue.

The application required PHP short tags.
Enabled it by adding 'short_open_tag = on' in Php.ini.

Hi all,
Scalar is a "Born-digital, open-source, media-rich scholarly publishing that's as easy as blogging." platform based on PHP and MySQL, built using Codeigniter framework. It is a fantastic piece of software that makes creating rich media books, monographs, and academic publications easy and functional.

The installation looks straightforward - copying files to the public folder and importing a .sql file into the database.
I followed the instructions on the github and am able to get a response. Installation is here: http://scalar.academe.ac.nz

However, the home page is all mangled up. The logs do not show any errors. I presume I missed something in the config.php

I could use some help here. Does anything in the installation directions point to something I might have to configure in the LAMP app of Cloudron? I am lost and any pointers would be great.

Thank you very much.

@marcusquinn said in Sponsored App Creation:

https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/1067/pretix-ticketing-software-that-cares-about-your-event-all-the-way

I would love to contribute to the packaging of pretix and a couple of others too.
Can we set up a bounty pool for each of these so that we can commit/contribute to?

Thank you

@scooke said in Chaskiq - website and social live chat including chat-bot and video calls:

Info such as hours, etc., could/should be available on a website, no?

Mate, you are right and I mostly agree with you, but you overestimate the capability and/or willingness of people to spend a few extra seconds to look for this information even if it is staring and ready to poke them in their right eye.

It all boils down to this: Give people multiple avenues to engage with your site and your sales-people. Let them choose. One day, perhaps chat will be out of fashion, but for now, some people look for the button right at the bottom right.

@scooke Chat support has its place actually.
Nowadays, the channels for getting information/answers to queries are:

1. Email: Won't work if you need a simple answer immediately. Questions like, 'Are you open right now?' - emails simply won't do. OTOH, threaded and long winded to and fro discussions with trail are best done by email of course.
2. Twitter: Again, won't work for simple queries, nor will it work if you need to attach documents (emails are better in that case)
3. Chat - Immediate answers, can ask for clarifications, etc. Interactivity is good and sometimes technical issues can be resolved live and issues finished. One can multitask when chatting, which is great.
4. Good old telephone - Endless Menus, Wait times and on hold music are off-putting for many people. Also, some prefer the anonymity of chat and not needing to talk to someone.

What do you think?

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!

This is exciting.
Hope to see Chatwoot on the app store soon.

Working very sweetly.

A bump up.

Chaskiq has become even more powerful. And there is a docker version available I believe!

@jdaviescoates Actually, pretix would work great for digital events too - webinars, etc.
They support webinars in their paid versions, but I am sure the open source version can be used to register attendees for online events too.

On this topic, has anybody tried out https://www.attendize.com/? Development seems to have stalled (site last updated in 2020). Github: https://github.com/Attendize/Attendize

Docker: https://www.attendize.com/getting_started.html#running-attendize-in-docker-for-development

@atridad Wow that was quick!
This community is fantastic.

@atridad My bad. Meant to post it to the App Wishlist.

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.

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.

@robi I am not sure we understand each other completely. Perhaps I am not communicating this well, but allow me another attempt, please.

I am not seeking for New Relic to be made into a self-hosted app - That is exactly why this is NOT in the App wishlist section.

This being the Feature Requests section addressed at the developers of cloudron, All I wish for is a feature in cloudron that will provide additional/richer data and information about the performance of the apps, with alerts, charts, graphs, etc - New Relic provides this free of cost.

New Relic is one choice, they may be others too.

In other words, am seeking if we can have more information regarding the performance of our self-hosted server and the applications beyond the System Info (with disk usage, sys memory, cpu usage stats) and App Graphs (Memory), through integration with other third-party apps (preferably free).

I am just throwing this idea on to the feasibility/requirement wall, it may or may not stick.

@martinkbs This is very informative, thank you.
Scaleway does seem cost-effective for those hosting in the EU (Hetzner, Scaleway, etc).
Also, the glacier option looks interesting too.

I have a server with cloudways and they have New Relic integration for monitoring which I found very useful (from non-technical users point of view) to launch easily from the control panel.

I wish Cloudron had such a feature: However, I don't have a clue how exactly this can work, All I can visualise is that any cloudron admin must be able to add one or more (new relic or any of the other such apps) monitoring apps in the admin panel using an API and access them with a simple click.

Here is the Cloudways documentation on adding New Relic APM to monitor applications

Here is the screenshot of cloudways admin panel for servers:

@robi said in New Relic Integration:

You simply install their agent on your server and use NR for what you want.

You overestimate the capabilities of some of us.

I would love it to be 'integrated' into cloudron UI with simple buttons or forms where we can input our API keys/salt kind of information.

I dread typing in a terminal. I still don't understand how to exit a vi editor.

[Not an expert] Is it possible to integrate New Relic into cloudron so that we can get all sorts of info, charts, perf monitoring for our applications? Also, AI-powered alert policies, incidents and events notifications, etc.

Thank you

@girish Looks like the CIFS has landed!

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.

Edit: Changed http to https. Thanks @Hillside502

@scooke Yep! We are spoilt for choice, actually.
To muse, there are even businesses (https://snapshooter.com/pricing) that have made 'server backup' their sole business model.

And so costly at that - they probably run a few cron scripts (am not an expert) to backup servers to the generous 'Unlimited bring your own' storage and charge 14$ to 199$ for this privilege!

@marcusquinn Wow, Looks like decentralised storage is coming of age.
During the last ICO frenzy, a lot of blockchain-based storage were issued if I remember.
Lets see if we can add these as external storages on NextCloud - it would be great for non-critical data (old logs, for eg.)

@girish Fantastic, just in time!

Cloudron is a gift that keeps on giving.

@ccfu Let me get this right, you choose CIFS mount and then add in the Hetzner Storage Boxes - is that it? Is there a tutorial or documentation I can refer, please? I found this online - Hetzner docs > Storage Box > Access with Samba/CIFS, but am not sure I understand it all.

My cloudron is hosted on Hetzner and a fast backup in the Hetzner network would be great (unless there is a possibility entire hetzner network can go down in a DDOS).

Thanks for the nice info!

Dear Community,
Now that Cloudron supports Backblaze B2, I would love to hear your opinion on which backup do you use and why?

Has anybody researched and found which would be the best backup solution for cloudron based applications?

Is there any other S3 based backup that we don't know of? Please share!

Thank you!

Edited: Need not be S3 based, so struck it off above

@timconsidine said in OmekaS:

but I saw one which was awesome in design, layout, clarity.

Can we have a link please?

@privsec Nextcloud really dropped the ball on this update. I have now switched off auto-update. Share the same regrets.

The brightside is that we are in good hands. I don't think the data is lost, but definitely, something is off.

Thanks to excellent support from the cloudron team, I just got my data back and am totally relieved after three days of data-loss terror.

Hope you get your data and nextcloud back too!

@girish This is what we all love about cloudron. Hope this level of support can be sustained as Cloudron grows.
How you guys manage to stay on top of juggling the varied jobs of testing and inducting new apps, adding new features and on the top, personally resolving problems is beyond me. All we can say is, Thanks.

@girish Replaced the js file as in the instructions.
Seemed to cause more problems than resolving it.
PDF viewer throws an error of 'Server Error 503' and other errors.

Need to restore to the 2 day old backup (can you pls help me out here, @girish), Thanks!

@girish
Instructions were to Replace apps/files_pdfviewer/js/files_pdfviewer-main.js on your instance with this file from the PR that should fix the issue.

I have found the js file as you had indicated, but have no idea how to replace it with the one I downloaded from the instructions.

I was able upload the new file to the temp, but can't figure out how to move it and replace the one at /app/data/apps/files)pdfviewer/js/files_pdfviewer-main.js

Can you let me know the command I can use in the terminal please? I google around, but can't figure it out right. For starters, I don't know what is the path to the temp folder.

Thanks!

@girish There is an issue with the PDF Viewer (AGAIN!!!).
They have released a temporary fix.
Can we implement the fix or must we wait for the next minor release?

https://github.com/nextcloud/files_pdfviewer/issues/381#issuecomment-845806364

@msbt I see no difference in pricing between Hetzner's storage box and storage share (nextcloud based).

Just would like to know why do you think the Cloudron Nextcloud on Hetzner Cloud + Storagebox is better than the Storage Share itself?

Just want to know the rationale if any, thanks!

Dear Devs,

As we wait (with unabated breath) for version 7 with multi-host, multi-server capabilities, can I go ahead now and create a new cloudron instance (free with 2 apps) on a new server and later migrate it into my paid cloundron account where I can add a subscription for it, manage it in a single interface and pay through a single invoice?

Thank you!

@jdaviescoates Absolutely true. I tried running BBB on a metal server but all of it struggled to get past the 100-150 participants.
Don't have the expertise myself to setup and maintain a load balancer. Will checkout meet.coop, thanks!

@doodlemania2
I would be interested in BBB.
Looking for a reliable provider for a class of about 250 participants.
The pricing must be similar to Zoom's offering to be viable in my opinion.. i.e. 20-30 USD per month for each account.
Edit: And usually institutions might opt for 20 accounts on an average

@nebulon

The bug has been fixed in the current updated 20.0.8 version of cloudron!

Thanks for a delightful experience.

Edit: This thread can be marked solved I think.

Hope this is appropriate here, but:
The cloudron-install.com/settings/admin/overview in NextCloud shows:

NextCloud 20.0.8,

while, the App Info in the Updates tab of Cloundron shows:

App Title and Version: Nextcloud 21.0.0

@nebulon It is said the fix will come with the next stable update.

if you use Nextcloud in production, just wait for the next stable release that may come soon.

So, seems we have no option but to wait for the next release.

@nebulon said in Nextcloud : PDF does not load correctly if opened from shared folder:

Thanks for the elaborate description, I guess that would be good reported upstream. There seems to be a few related issues already, maybe one of them is yours?

https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/25117
https://github.com/nextcloud/files_pdfviewer/issues/286

Thanks, @nebulon, https://github.com/nextcloud/files_pdfviewer/issues/286 matches the issue I am facing, I will follow that thread.

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.

In the NextCloud, a folder can be shared by generating a link.
Once the shared link is opened, the entire contents of the folder is displayed.
Expected Behavior: When a PDF in the shared folder is opened, it opens a preview of the PDF.
Actual Behavior: If a PDF is opened in a shared folder, the PDF is not displayed. Instead, an error is displayed as follows:

Invalid or corrupted PDF file. 
PDF.js v2.4.456 (build: 228a591c)
Message: Invalid PDF structure.

How to replicate the bug.

1. Create a folder in NextCloud and upload some PDF files to the folder.
2. Share the folder by generating a share link (which is automatically copied to the clipboard)
3. Open the folder using the share link (in an incognito tab of a browser)
4. Once the folder is opened and the list of contents of files displayed, click on any PDF to open.
5. The PDF will load in a preview mode, but instead of displaying the PDF, throw an error stating, 'invalid or corrupted PDF'.

Notes: If the PDF file is shared by generating a link and if the PDF is opened with this link, it loads correctly.
Only when the PDF is opened from the shared folder, the PDF does not load/open correctly.

This bug is only in the recent update (Nextcloud 20.0.7). It was not there in the previous versions.

Bump up.

Individual instances of Wordpress is great for fine-tuned resources allocation, but a multisite would be great too.

Can we please have a revisit?

@atrilahiji You bet!
Moodle has a lot of features, but canvas is easier for students and teachers to navigate and use.

Hi!
I have access to unlimited drive storage on google suite for education.
I wonder how I can take advantage of this to:

1. Backup my cloudron
2. Bind Google Drive or a folder as a drive to use as an external drive for data storage in the upcoming 6.0 version (ref. What's coming in 6.0 (take 2): Volume management - this will allow mounting paths on the host into apps.)

Presently, I use wasabi for backups. I don't see Google Drive in the Storage Provider list. If it is feasible, can we propose to add Google Drive as an option for Backup?

What is the latest about using rclone to mount a drive as local filesystem in cloudron please?

Thank you!
