  • Solidtime

    Solidtime is a modern open-source time tracking application for Freelancers and Agencies.

    It could be a really useful addition to Cloudron

    solidtime.io

    Github

    AGPL 3.0

    I've played around with it a bit, the UI is quite slick and it seems fairly feature complete. Potentially a great alternative to Toggl, Clockify etc


  • 🔥 MIROTALK ULTIMATE BUNDLE — LIMITED-TIME SALE — ENDS 23/01/2026! 🔥

    MiroTalk

    @mirotalk it's unclear to me what this bundle offers that's not already available on cloudron? it would be nice to support your project, but i'm just wondering what this 'unlocks' on cloudron.


  • Backup Strategy Advice

    so just to update my results here - i tried a hetzner storagebox, but the cifs storage mount was having some stability issues. and it was so painfully slow as to be practically unusable.

    so i switched to another option that i've seen mentioned in the forums here, which is to backup to a second cloudron using minio. and i'm happy to report that it's working fine. using an alphavps storage vps it's actually even cheaper, and it's quite convenient to have a further backup if needed.


  • Filestash - Web client for SFTP, S3, FTP, WebDAV, Git, Minio, LDAP, CalDAV, CardDAV, Mysql, Backblaze
    L lucidfox
    App Wishlist

    @girish I was thinking potentially to use syncthing with volumes, and then use filestash for web access, sharing etc.

    Nextcloud is great, but its a bit of a slow giant that's resource intensive. It tries to do a lot of things and doesn't do the core function of syncing files very efficiently.


  • Nextcloud update pushed too early?

    Nextcloud

    just fyi, an update for team folders to 20.1.1 has been released and fixed the group folders issue for me.


  • Vikunja - The to-do app to organize your life.
    L lucidfox
    App Wishlist

    So just to update... I installed an unstable version of Vikunja as a custom app, because some bugs to do with the Todoist migration were meant to have been resolved. The Todoist importer worked a bit better, but still threw up errors. Apart from that the app is working pretty flawlessly from what I can tell. Would be brilliant to have it added (perhaps v1 would be the right time).


  • Outline - a Notion-like open source app
    L lucidfox
    App Wishlist

    Any updates on getting Outline on to Cloudron?

    I've been playing around with a hosted version, and have to say Outline seems very intuitive and easy to use, compared with some of the alternatives (on Cloudron and otherwise).


  • Running 2 instances of Syncthing on 1 server
    L lucidfox
    Syncthing

    @james I've had multiple syncthings running on a cloudron server for a few years now without issues. Not sure if this is because the issue was resolved upstream, or if changing the default port for the initial handshake between devices has done the trick.


  • Keeping Track of User or Usergroup Storage
    L lucidfox
    Feature Requests storage

    I think it might be beneficial to have some stats or tracking mechanism for the server resource usage of users or usergroups in Cloudron, as this would enable non enterprise and multiple user servers to share hardware resources fairly The use case scenario here would be communities or groups of people who want to share, and spread the word on self hosting open source applications.

    The biggest variable in my mind, in terms of calculating costs, is the amount of storage a user or usergroup uses. Is there someway to track this, so that a percentage share of storage provisioned can be worked out?

    I've read elsewhere that Netdata might be the way to go, to get detailed info on server resource use. Would this work for seeing a Cloudron user's share of mounted NFS storage for instance? Or is this something that is better accomplished from inside specific apps, like say Nextcloud.


  • Notifications not working?

    Thanks a lot @odie, I totally missed the custom headers post for some reason 🙄. The notifications are firing as expected now.

    @p44 i just followed the one in the cloudron docs (and also the hetzner docs).

    cloudron:
    //<server>/<remote_folder> /backups_cifs cifs uid=yellowtent,gid=yellowtent,user=<user>,pass=<pass>,iocharset=utf8,x-systemd.automount 0 0

    hetzner:
    //<username>.your-storagebox.de/backup /mnt/backup-server cifs iocharset=utf8,rw,credentials=/etc/backup-credentials.txt,uid=<system account>,gid=<system group>,file_mode=0660,dir_mode=0770 0 0

    Ok, thanks much for the update. Wish I could help with the packaging, but I've got zero skills or experience to contribute to that. Would be amazing to have this on Cloudron at some point, it seems to be the most promising Google Photos alternative.

    @p44 i don't use it anymore. i've switched to a storage vps on alphavps, with a minio backup.


  • Vikunja - The to-do app to organize your life.
    L lucidfox
    App Wishlist

    I've got Vikunja installed as a custom app (would love to see it published to the Cloudron app store as well).

    One of the highlighted features is the ability to import from Todoist, but there's no way to do this through the interface. I asked in the Vikunja matrix chatroom, and someone suggested all the details on how to achieve this would be in the config.yml file. I've looked at this file in my install, but can't see any such section or info. Has anyone figured out how to migrate from Todoist?

    @jdaviescoates mmm... that's a pity. hopefully they'll add other authentication options soon.


  • SendGrid is over, what to use instead?

    Discuss

    I've been using the hosted version of plunk - https://www.useplunk.com/ - which is an open source email relay/transactional email service app built on top of AWS. They've got a generous free tier and the paid plans are very reasonable pay as you go.


  • Failed Tasks and Discover
    L lucidfox
    Pixelfed

    so just to update, I got the video working by adding the below line to the env.production (turns out it was just a syntax error 🙄) and then running 'php artisan config:cache' in the terminal -

    MEDIA_TYPES=image/jpeg,image/png,image/gif,video/mp4,video/mpeg,video/3gpp,video/quicktime

    instagram import still isn't working for me (this might be a deal breaker for people looking to move over). and the way the federation works doesn't seem to allow you to find people and posts on other instances easily yet.


  • Recommendations for Self-Hosted Collaborative Email Clients
    L lucidfox
    Off-topic

    I'm not sure if they have all the features that you're interested in but Chatwoot and Freescout on Cloudron might fit the bill.

    I've used Missive quite a bit, it's not open source or self-hosted, but is a pretty good service.


  • Options for Uploading or Accessing Media in Jellyfin?
    L lucidfox
    Jellyfin upload import volumes

    I recently got Cloudron running on a Netcup VPS with NFS storage mounted (also provided by Netcup). This works great for moving individual app data for most apps off the main server, but for the Jellyfin app the Docker containerization of data seems to stop there being anyway to actually get the media into the app? A shared volume that could be 'seen' by different apps would be ideal, and this would also be great for something like sharing photos between Nextcloud and Lychee. Is this a feature that is going to be rolled out soon? I read elsewhere that something like this was planned for an earlier Cloudron release.

    I've been looking for possible work around using symlink or hardlinks, or mouting external storage in Nextcloud, but none of the options seem to really be viable. Rclone with a cloud provider seems to be a popular solution for Jellyfin, but I'm not sure how this would work? Any suggestions on a workaround that wouldn't break how Cloudron's backups and default behaviour works would be greatly appreciated. I have almost no experience with managing a server, so the less tinkering the better!
