Cloudron Forum

Hello there and thank you for always moving forward.
The docusaurus option seems good to me and the UI is clean.

Just a suggestion, maybe a left-margin +15 pixel on the second column (the content one) might be nice.

The library is also usable in nextcloud:
https://github.com/nextcloud/whiteboard/blob/main/README.md

I use it (not in cloudron) with a simple docker-compose:

services:
  whiteboard:
    image: ghcr.io/nextcloud-releases/whiteboard
    restart: always
#    ports:
#      - 3002:3002
    environment:
      - NEXTCLOUD_URL=https://your.nextcloud.url
      - JWT_SECRET_KEY=KEYsome-strong-one

Good evening, just update to 9.0.8.
Easy and smooth upgrade as usual, and huge compliments for the new UI and all the new functions. Everything is clearer than ever (and I'm here from day one).
Now I ask myself: what more is needed to happily selfhost?
Thank you guys!

@Kubernetes I agree with you that MA seems much more robust and the developement is also quite active (while I still do not have a feedback from OA):

https://github.com/s1t5/mail-archiver/releases

My doubt is mainly about:

• all is in the PG database;
• ASP.NETCore8 MVC

While the first one is not that terrible, I am uneasy with an ASP.NETCore product, what do you think about this framework?

@joseph openarchiver use IMAP too and has also a similar way to connect to other providers.

https://docs.openarchiver.com/user-guides/email-providers.

mailarchiver can connect to Microsoft 365 mail accounts via Microsoft Graph API.

Both OA and MA can import mbox/eml files.
OA can also import PST, at least according to the docs.

Hello there,
I am also testing both openarchiver (OA) and mailarchiver (MA) using docker-compose.
Here is my feedback:

• UI: both software are similar but the preview page in OA seems nicer to me and has a thread functionality on the sidebar wich is quite useful;
• SEARCH: MA has better search functionalities;
• EXPORT: export in MA is great as you can search and export results in one shot, while OA seems to consent only one message at a time download;
• SOFTWARE: MA is based on ASP.NET Core 8 MVC application wich does not seems nice to me;
• STORAGE: in OA messages are stored in folder as .eml files, while in MA all is in the postgresdb;
• ACTIVITY: both MA and OA seems very active, but I've contacted OA for partenering and to have some clarification on encryption, but still no answers (note: just writed friday morning...).

@subven Hello, I use vaultwarden for passwords and floccus + nextcloud-bookmarks to sync my bookmarks on different browsers (floccus has an extension for all of them).

• https://floccus.org
• https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/bookmarks

@bazinga you are welcome.

The Cloudron's built.in SMTP server is great and I use it for my daily mail traffic but there is no graph and visual history of sent mails.

I use Postal as an extension of smtp2go for, at least, those reasons:

• I always prefer self-hosted open-source software when possible, particularly when there is sensistive data like mail and e-mail adresses
• I started with smtp2go to have a high delivaribility guarantee for my clients, but now my postal server is warmed enough and seems to be well accepted;
• the free plan include only five day log which is a little shorter, in postal you can set retention as needed;
• there is no preview of messages while in postal you can see plain text, html, and attachment; this is useful for tests and monitoring of sent content;
• you can create several companies and servers with different settings and credentials;
• you can track activity (open and click);
• you can give access to clients to the reports.

@lucidfox thank you for signaling useplunk.com this is quite interesting and the free plan is generous.

Good morning,
for clients transactional e-mail I use smtp2go.

I also use, on a docker server, Postal wich works great and is free.

Thank you very much @girish, you rock!

@girish thank you as always, I reached you out on support@cloudron.io.
Best regards

Hello, unfortunately this does not work, the services mongodb circle is green and still the log says:

2024-01-05T15:13:25.978Z box:services Attempt 8 failed. Will retry: Network error waiting for mongodb: Timeout of 5000ms exceeded.

Graphite and ftp were red so I restarted those services using UI and the log said:

2024-01-05T15:15:59.638Z box:shell restartcollectd spawn: /usr/bin/sudo -S /home/yellowtent/box/src/scripts/restartservice.sh collectd
2024-01-05T15:16:00.988Z box:services Attempt 9 failed. Will retry: Network error waiting for mongodb: Timeout of 5000ms exceeded

All is green but still

@nebulon hello!

Hello girish and thank you for your availability.

There seems to be a problem on mongodb, but on services the mongodb row has a greenlight (while graphite and ftp are red and become green clicking on restart for both rows).

Sorry I have a similar problem on a cloudron 7.4.3 on ubuntu 20, a pending task is blocking everything (backup, update, uninstall, ...) on my secondary cloudron instance:

• I have a blue notice saying: Platform status / Starting services, this can take a while
• I have the only app active in: Configuring (Queued) - Queued
  • the cancel task redX button is not responding
  • Crash Recovery buttons are not clickable

https://my.cloudron/api/v1/tasks/12960?access_token=XXXXXXmytoken

    {
      "id": "12960",
      "type": "app",
      "percent": 1,
      "message": "Waiting for Cloudron to initialize",
      "error": {
        "message": "Task was stopped because the server was restarted or crashed",
        "code": "crashed"
      },
      "active": false,
      "pending": true,
      "creationTime": "2023-12-17T21:39:50.000Z",
      "result": null,
      "ts": "2023-12-17T21:39:50.000Z",
      "success": false
    },

• I've tried a systemctl check as BrutalBirdie

root@my:~# systemctl status box-task-12960.service
Unit box-task-12960.service could not be found.

• https://mycloudron/api/v1/tasks/12960/stop?access_token=XXXXXXmytoken

Cannot GET /api/v1/tasks/12960/stop

But no way to kill the pending task. Do you have any suggestions?

Hello,
of course cloudron guys just do a great and very active job so I won't say more on this point.
I am afraid that if participants are more than 3, or you have a really powerful server or you have no real alternative than big services (not necessarily proprietary or big corporations).
BUT up to this number I tried in the past kopano meet (wich worked good, is very nice and is available in cloudron since a very long time), and then switched to nextcloud talk wich is just working great for video/voice calls:

• user based or public access (using link)
• chat always available
• screen sharing on the fly
• phone app very well integrated with a great push notification flow

Hello everybody,
I am not sure this what you are looking for and is in early stage but this project looks promising:
