I just did the update to 9.0.9 with 17 apps and everything went very smooth from what I can tell. I really dig the UI redesign, congrats on shipping this :)!

What's coming in Cloudron 9 -
Using pixelfed as a private instagram for friends and family@joseph Thanks for the pointer, yeah I think it's just not meant for that use case but with the adjustment of some settings it's possible. For example profiles are public by default, meaning if I post, my post will show up on my public profile that anyone with access to my page/username can view.

Wallos OIDC support@Package-Updates said in Wallos - Package Updates:
[1.12.0]
Wallos seems to support OIDC as of version 4.0. Curious as to why this isn't configured with Cloudron's OIDC server

Using pixelfed as a private instagram for friends and familyI would like to run a Pixelfed instance for friends and family only, however, I'm not familiar with federation and want to avoid confusing friends and family by them accidentally seeing users/posts from other instances and of course other instances seeing public posts on my instance.
ChatGPT mentioned the env variables
ACTIVITY_PUB=falseandFEDERATION=false. While the activity_pub variable exists in the config, it's not mentioned in the pixelfed configuration docs and the federation=fals variable sounds made up.I found a setting on the admin page called ActivityPub with the not super helpful description of "ActivityPub federation, compatible with Pixelfed, Mastodon and other projects." which I turned off, but yeah there's still some lingering anxiety that my instance is communicating with others

Setup mailjet as mailserver does not workI was able to resolve this. I created a subaccount API key that I used for authentication before generating a secret key for the primary API key (by default Mailjet creates a key but not a secret for that key, which is a manual action). Now I just generated a secret key for the primary API key and used this instead of the subaccount key and it worked.

Setup mailjet as mailserver does not workHey, re-using this thread as I am having some issues setting up mailjet as a relay mail provider.

I followed Mailjets instructions to set up SPF and DKIM records and validated the domain, everything looked good. Unfortunately triggering a test email does not deliver it even though the event log for mail says it was delivered. An email from Vaultwarden was delivered, though it was sent to an email address from the same domain. The Mailjet analytics dashboard says 0 delivered emails. Would be great if anybody can point me at a potential solution.
I created a new subaccount API key in Mailjet and used the API key as the username and the Secret key as the password in Cloudron's relay settings.

Latitude on Cloudron - Prompt engineering platform to build, evaluate, and refine your prompts with AI- Main Page: https://latitude.so/
- Git: https://github.com/latitude-dev/latitude-llm
- Licence: LGPL-3.0
- Dockerfile: Jein - docker-compose: https://github.com/latitude-dev/latitude-llm/blob/main/docker-compose.yml
- Demo: /
- Summary:
Latitude is designed for cross-functional teams, enabling collaboration between developers, product managers, and domain experts throughout the entire AI development process:- Design and version prompts collaboratively
- Test iterations in an interactive playground
- Evaluate and improve prompts systematically
- Deploy prompts as API endpoints
- Monitor performance with automatic logging
- Notes: Given that the right prompt can make a big difference in efficiency and LLM output quality, this is a quite useful tool. Though I'm not sure how easy it would be to package for Cloudron since the Docker compose file looks pretty complex with many services.
- Alternative to: Anthropic Workbench

How to create an admin user?@firmansi Is this also true for the first user that logs in via Cloudron OpenID or only through the create account form?

Passbolt password managerThis app still seems to be actively developed. Might be nice to have an alternative to Vaultwarden.

Onyx on Cloudron - AI assistant connected to your company's docs, apps, and people- Main Page: https://www.onyx.app/
- Git: https://github.com/onyx-dot-app/onyx
- Licence: MIT Expat for Community Edition, custom license for Enterprise Edition
- Docker: Yes (docs here)
- Demo: n/a
- Summary: Onyx (formerly Danswer) is the AI platform connected to your company's docs, apps, and people. Onyx provides a feature rich Chat interface and plugs into any LLM of your choice. Keep knowledge and access controls sync-ed across over 40 connectors like Google Drive, Slack, Confluence, Salesforce, etc. Create custom AI agents with unique prompts, knowledge, and actions that the agents can take.
- Notes: While I'm personally a bit sceptical about the quality of results from an AI assistant that has access to all your data sources, it's still great to see an open source (with enterprise edition) tool like this, especially for small businesses. The company raised 10M in March 25 so good chances they will be around for a bit.

Danswer - OpenSource Enterprise Question-Answering AI SystemJust wanted to bump this as the project still seems to be under active development. They now offer a community edition freely available under the MIT Expat license, as well as a paid enterprise edition with additional features. The project was also rebranded under onyx.app.

ONCE WritebookFrom the installation notes, it seems like a free copy needs to be purchased in order to receive a shell command that will install docker and then pull the latest Writebook docker image and go through an installation process.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not give this install command out to anyone, or share it on the public internet. It is personalized to you, and the license is tied back to you. Your personalized purchase token can be found in the email you received after you downloaded Writebook
The way Writebook is currently distributed, I don't think makes it possible to be packaged for Cloudron unfortunately.

Failed to get release informationThanks girish. I tried to curl other sites and that worked fine as well. Also from my local computer curling
api.cloudron.ioworks fine. I then deleted the server and set up a fresh server and tried the curl command first as you suggested. Same issue.After that I deleted the server again and set up a new server that also has a IPv4 address instead of IPv6 only. This time the curl command to
api.cloudron.ioworked and the setup script is currently running just fine ¯_(ツ)_/¯ . -
Failed to get release informationThe setup is basically this, the cheapest Hetzner VPS with a fresh Ubuntu 22.04.3 install. Didn't do anything special, just ssh'd in and ran the three install commands from Cloudrons homepage.

I tried running both of the commands, the first one fails, the second one works:
root@ubuntu-2gb-nbg1-1:~# curl https://api.cloudron.io/api/v1/releases curl: (7) Couldn't connect to server root@ubuntu-2gb-nbg1-1:~# host api.cloudron.io api.cloudron.io has address 165.227.67.76 -

Ability to go back within the installation setup wizardOk, no worries, thank you for confirming!

Ability to go back within the installation setup wizardHi,
I wanted to restore Cloudron from a backup but in the setup wizard under "Domain Setup" mindlessly filled in the DNS information and clicked next instead of clicking on "Looking to restore".
Now I'm on the "Welcome to Cloudron" page to set up an admin account without any apparent way to go back to the previous step in the setup.
I know this is probably not a common use-case but as far as I understand I will have to re-install Ubuntu on the VPS server and then download and re-install Cloudron again, which is maybe around half an hour I would save if there was such a button

Is there any way to reset the setup, or go to the restore page via direct link?

Migrating data to non-Cloudron environmentI'm currently doing the opposite (migrating data from non-Cloudron to Cloudron environment) but I assume it's similar in ways @girish described so just wanted to mention some caveats for people trying this:
-
It's not possible (or at least not trivially possible) to migrate your users. The Vaultwarden docker image uses sqlite while Cloudron uses mysql. The org that I'm trying to migrate has less than 30 users so I'm ok with having to re-invite everyone to the new instance. But if you're trying to migrate a bigger Vaultwarden installation, you'll either have to figure out how to transfer the users between mysql and the sqlite database, or everyone has to create a new account.
-
File attachments have to be copied manually. You can't just
scptheattachmentsfolder from one server to the other, this means every attachment has to be downloaded manually through the gui and then uploaded again to the new instance.
Exporting and importing the vault itself was a matter of exporting a
jsonfile and then importing it in the new vault. Took less than 5 min. -
