Cloudron Forum

I think that would work, thank you @girish!

I'm using Namecheap's DNS servers for my Cloudron installation. As a security measure, Namecheap emails me every time there is a change to the DNS records. This seems generally reasonable and good, except for the past couple of weeks I've been getting daily emails when Cloudron automatically adds and removes the following record:

Name:   cloudrontestdns
Type:   A
Address:127.0.0.1

Is it possible to disable this testing functionality?

Thanks!

The Radicale documentation describes how to use git to track changes to its calendars and address books. I realize that using this functionality would require forking the Cloudron Radicale app so that I could modify the config file, but my use case is actually somewhat different. Instead, I was hoping to use the Radicale app's cron settings to periodically run a git pull for changes made elsewhere, overwriting changes made by my WebDAV clients.

In either case, I need a git repository initialized inside Radicale's data folder. I ran git init in /app/data/collections in the container, but subsequent commands fail with this error:

root@[app id]:/app/data/collections# git status
fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at '/app/data/collections'
To add an exception for this directory, call:

        git config --global --add safe.directory /app/data/collections
root@[app id]:/app/data/collections# git config --global --add safe.directory /app/data/collections
error: could not lock config file /root/.gitconfig: Read-only file system
root@[app id]:/app/data/collections# git config --system --add safe.directory /app/data/collections
error: could not lock config file /etc/gitconfig: Read-only file system

I don't really want to start messing with file permissions anywhere, but then this fails too, even though it is definitely a git repository:

root@[app id]:/app/data/collections#  git config  --local -l
fatal: --local can only be used inside a git repository

Setting the flag just for that one command doesn't work either:

root@[app id]:/app/data/collections# git -c safe.directory=/app/data/collections status
fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at '/app/data/collections'
To add an exception for this directory, call:

        git config --global --add safe.directory /app/data/collections

I was able to get everything working by logging into the host :

root@[host]:/# cd /home/yellowtent/appsdata/[app id]/data/collections
root@[host]:/home/yellowtent/appsdata/[app id]/data/collections# git status
On branch main
Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
	[collection id]
nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)

So I think I have a path forward, even though it's less than ideal. I'm just starting out with Cloudron though — is there anything I'm missing?
