Cloudron Forum

@jagan; it's probably imperfect (such is life ),
but personally, I use AlternativeTo.net,
which does a very good job at ranking apps and features a Cloudron tag for services compatible with Cloudron.
This can also be a way for Cloudron users to participate and help support both the platform and the broader self-hosting community.

I wonder how it is compared to LibreChat
For the End/Power User perspective; Lobe-Chat is definitely easier to use than OpenWeb-UI

@hpalmier you mean on Cloudron ?
The best way would be to Package Qdrant Container into a Cloudron's App

The second-best way is to run in on a second server, with a Private Network between your Cloudron's server and Qdrant.

The Not; the best way but still possible; would be to spin Qdrant as an independent (not-managed by Cloudron) container on your Cloudron.

In any case be careful because by default Qdrant does not require authentication.

@joseph
I came here with a similar (I think) question's asked by @IniBudi
I can't find anymore the specific of what I will claim, but ....

Once upon a time, I remembered that Cloudron was saying to not doing the update (maybe during the installation or the first login) that Cloudron was taking of them.
In that sense, (https://docs.cloudron.io/updates/) mentioned that; fairly, Cloudron do a backup before updating.

With that in mind; I was thinking also of activating Ubuntu Advantage on my Cloudron; but...

• Does that means that
  • Cloudron lose control on the update ?
  • I might create incompatibility because I don't (actually never) read the ChangeLog before updating ?
  • ...

@james
safe as in I want to avoid corruption
this is way I pick database number 1

because if; Redis is shared between all the container and attribute different database to each of them
then if manually I use a database number (such as 1)
I might shoot data and disrupt one of my services.

PS: I don't really know Redis
but I presume, as in any database, data integrity is important.

hi;

I know it's not the same question but the title remain appropriate.

I just deployed the n8n 1.115.3 via the Package Version io.n8n.cloudronapp@3.105.1
and I noticed that Redis is available

my questions are;

1. is it safe the reuse that Redis for my has memory for my AI Agent (inside n8n) ?
2. is this Redis isolated and dedicated to n8n instance ?

• BTW: I used "Database Number": 1.

@marcusquinn compare to n8n?

as a long time user and believer of n8n
I recently rediscover ActivePieces
few months, if not years; I tried ActivePieces; and I thought it was just a pale fork/copy of n8n with a limited team that was focusing on Marketing Automation.

I would say now; they definitely differentiate themselves
In ActivePieces: it is easier to do workflow, AI Agent, Authentification, ...
In n8n you can do more and more in-depth; you can connect with more services; transform more datas, ...

At the end I use both;
Start with ActivePieces for simplicity
And when it is not enough I use n8n.

Here my 2cents;
I personally host my Cloudron at Hetzner
I enabled in front of Cloudron

1. Cloudflare and Enable proxying for new DNS records (that is inside Cloudron at the domain level)
2. Enable Firewall at Hetzner for my Server

HTTPS only between my Cloudron and CloudFlare

• you can find the IP here

Why ?

• So even if someone retrieve the IP (example via mail service) it cannot try to hack any webapps.

Of course; I have others Rules at Hetzner Firewall Level; that basically replicate Cloudron's Firewall: SSH, Mails, STUN, TURN, ...

After that; you mostly need to choose wisely the apps you deploy; trust the due diligence of these developers.
Having a WAF; bring more complexity that would probably slow down the integration of new apps...

thanks for your return;
as you expected;
yes the issue is located somewhere else than Cloudron or Open-WebUI
it's at a proxy level;
which in my case CloudFlare

I have this error when I use search function

SyntaxError: Unexpected token '<', "<!DOCTYPE "... is not valid JSON

I tried with several search engine: searxng, jina, exa and Google PSE but still have the same error.

a potential solution is to extend time connection in the reverse proxy

<Location "/">
    ProxyPass http://192.168.12.15:20022/ timeout=300 upgrade=websocket
    ProxyPassReverse http://192.168.12.15:20022/
</Location>

example of timeout with exa

Apr 22 08:41:37 2025-04-22 06:41:37.266 | INFO | open_webui.retrieval.web.exa:search_exa:65 - Found 3 results - {}

so how to extend the timeout in cloudron.

in the OpenWebUI Docs they don't recommend using the pipelines
unless for advance usage case

@jagan said in Bundle with Pipelines?:

The virtual servers we run are hardly suited for good Ollama output anyways. Now that the tokens cost for lower models of OpenAI, Grok, Anthropic, Google, etc are low, there is actually no point to have Ollama bundled.

if you want to enable others LLM; you can already do it with any providers that offer a compatible OpenAI API; which means virtually all of them.
simply go in admin/settings -> Connections of your OpenWebUI instance and

add the base URL API of your favorite provider

• IE: https://openrouter.ai/api/v1 for OpenRouter

Then in Settings/Models you will have access to all the model provided by OpenRouter.

NOTE: it also work at user level via DirectConnection

In the same logic;

I also managed to use Replicate.AI as ComfyUI instance and Jina.ai as Embedder and ReRanker

@humptydumpty even before we took control over fire, our world felt on fire.

@iamthefij your right; and I don't think it's a big issue (maybe only for true believer of ENS

@iamthefij
to give you a concrete case to chew on it;
is you host a Cloudron for and behind individuals, organizations or countries authorities who decided to ban .io (British Indian Ocean Territory) domain purposely or by mistake in their firewall; then in the case of Cloudron.io, you might miss updates; which would be a security flaw.

@nebulon understood;
it's just in my testing environment (home) I'm use to connect my container via container_name:port
without exposing the port.

such as OpenWebUI connect to my Searxng because

---
services:
  open-webui:
  searxng:
    container_name: searxng

Now I understand this is not viable into a multi-domains, multi-services environment

Do you think something similar is possible and viable ?

I delete and install a new Cloudron but did'nt use the --setup-token
Can I change it by running any kind of command ?

now it is fixed
what I did ?
I went eating

@nebulon no

I have another case with a similar issue

in n8n I want to access searxng as a tool to my AI.
in the n8n container I'm able to do query via curl to my searxng via the http://containerID:8888
but inside n8n it say the service is down (refuse to connect)

curiously if I use https://searxng.domain.tld it work

As Robi mentionned; does cloudron implemented a firewall internally ?

or maybe it is more a DNS issue since journalctl -u docker return me a bunch of DNS error:
