Looks like there was a temporary issue with Hetzner routing. It's fixed now.

@nebulon Honestly, there's no actual script at play right now. A simple sudo rm -rf session did the trick. The subsequent session then generated a new folder, complete with a file, the correct user, and appropriate permissions.

17 —18 March 2026 All day
A two-day community barcamp focusing on Mautic, open-source marketing automation, and practical ways to achieve greater digital sovereignty.

The meetup is in-person, intentionally kept small, and thrives on active participation.

Today I discovered that /app/data/writable/session contained so many files that ls -la failed. The result: the backup took an absolute age.

I've now set up a cron job to delete the folder every week.
Let's see if this works.

@nebulon

curl -6 https://ipv6.api.cloudron.io/api/v1/helper/public_ip 
curl: (7) Failed to connect to ipv6.api.cloudron.io port 443 after 5139 ms: Couldn't connect to server

More ideas?

same after a restart: Failed to check installation status: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data

@timconsidine Phrased as a question.

Cloudron Version 9.0.18 - tcmbp132021/cloudron-customapp-installer-personal:v1.00

Trying to install http://git.cloudron.io/timconsidine/cloudron-moltbot ends with

Error checking installation status: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data

Any idea how to fix this?

Mmmh.

• Instance is: hetzner location USA. IPv4 & IPv6 activated, RDNS set.
• No firewall set: hetzner & VPS. Cloudron 9.0.x (x=18)
• Default Cloudron network set to Configure IPv6 = Public IP
• App install quits with error (something like) can't detect ipv6 adress

Shell shows:

ping6 -q -c 1 api.cloudron.io
PING api.cloudron.io (2604:a880:800:10::b66:f001) 56 data bytes

--- api.cloudron.io ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 0ms

Any idea to solve the problem?

(My solution was: Configure IPv6 = Static IP -> problem solved)

yes. german pronouncation.

@imc67 I never found the time to delve deeper into the test system (WAF – here Bunkerweb – in front of a dedicated Cloudron instance). Conversely: I completely missed my own challenge months ago. Thanks for bringing that up again.

With Bunker we're on the free tier. One thing missing in the free tier is: reporting/monitoring over a longer period. So no direct insight into the numbers the WAF filters out. But from our experience with one app on Cloudron (our own website): no downtime, no stress, nothing. Everything as expected after some manual configurations.

1. From a marketing perspective: Filtering out bots causes problems. No link previews in LinkedIn, Rocket.Chat, Signal... Problem solved by allowlists for some User-Agents. But in the long run it feels wrong to only pay attention to User-Agents. Bad bots find solutions to adopt the "good" User-Agents. In that case I don't think the WAF will work. We'll see.

2. Our website runs on Drupal. We added custom rules to forbid certain URL structures. What we learned: Some editors use workflows that generate URL structures that were forbidden. So they asked the Bunker administrators to change the structure to enable their work.

3. Our first update of Bunkerweb ended directly in a disaster. The maintainers rolled back the update, we reverted the version and a few days later a new update was released. That works. The last two updates worked without problems.

4. Is the time investment worth it? I think so. We have so few answers on alternatives to Cloudflare. We need a solid free and open-source alternative. What we learned: When it works, it works. You have to learn some new terminologies and technologies. It makes us stronger in decisions and better at consulting. Is it as good as Cloudflare? Maybe later, from my point of view. Don't forget that an important issue is DOS attacks. This is not solved with Bunkerweb in the free version on a Hetzner VPS.

Once I find time to dedicate myself to the test system (Cloudron instance behind Bunkerweb) again, I will post an update. Many thanks for the reminder.

My thoughts on profiles:

• Regular app installation = tlsserver (classic as fallback)
• App cloning for rapid testing or a development staging setup = shortlived

@girish Up and running (again). Thanks a lot.

@girish Running. Problem solved.

Anyone else?

The app will not start. Anyone else?

If you are in Berlin and would like to spend your free time supporting the cultural sector, come and join us on the last weekend in January.

https://kurz.gzevd.de/gcw

Annually on the last January weekend, Drupalistas from all over the world gather in local sub-events or join vitual meetings and work together.

Elsewhere such events are known as "Code sprints". But it is not only about code contributions. Volunteers with all kinds of skills are very welcome. They contribute graphics, tutorials, marketing ideas, tests, translations. Or, if nothing else, provide food and keep the attendees happy.

As the main theme for the Contribution Weekend 2026, we have chosen OpenCulturas.

@james looks good. Let's see if it works in a real-world scenario.

Under Organizer settings, there is an option to add a custom domain.

Adding a redirect domain in Cloudron app settings does not work. IMHO it needs an alias domain.
