Sounds like the case is identical, yes :).
Great workaround! I will try it.
Solving it at the hypervisor level is not any better than directly on the cloudron vm. There is no way to share a folder to a vm. Only nfs, cifs, sshfs or direct block device.
The reason is that our phones are growing, and at current I need to sync 5x family members phones at 1tb. Not insane anounts of course, but way beyond the m2.ssd cloudron is running on.
I will look into solving this at the hypervisor level and exposing folders to the guest vm that way.
I meant Filesystem Volume type, yes. Will update original post to reflect this.
Trying to add an sshfs mounted location as a regular filesystem volume type in Cloudron.
I have a working SSHFS mount in /mnt/folder
When trying to I am trying to add the /mnt/folder to Cloudron as a filesystem volume type, I am getting this error: hostPath must be a realpath without symlinks
The reason I want to do this, is because Cloudron will not let me use an SSHFS volume as a data-volume for my (immich) Cloudron-app.
debug:
sshfs mount works perfectly
permissions are lax, set to 777 on the mountpoint folder
more background of why I want to do this here: https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/12239/storage-management-in-immich/46
Thanks for any suggestions!
I just stumbled across this problem too.
**As a user: I need MASSIVE storage, 2tb+ per user for upload to Immich feature, which works really great and also really great while on Cloudron. Therefore sshfs straight to my backup server is the best course of action.
As a user I don't care about backup of the data I have uploaded to Immich. I am already backing up to MS Onedrive, Google Photos, and Immich will be the third backup location.**
I need to make Immich use an SSHFS mounted volume.
I will have to rely on manual mount of it instead, and make Cloudron believe it is a local folder. I really wanted to use the neat SSHFS mount feature in volumes tho.
Why SSHFS. Well NFS could work, but I hate the way NFS locks up and catastrophically fails and locks up the processes that have a lock in the NFS files/folders.
edit:
This didn't work. See support thread on adding volumes, if interested https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/13856/trying-to-add-an-sshfs-mounted-location-as-a-regular-file-type-volume-in-cloudron
Oh well. Technically storing the size values in an array or a dataframe and persisting them somewhere does not sound impossible.
Thanks for good input. To me this is the missing blind spot in disaster recovery. Cloudron is about to have multiple backup locations and everything so resilience is certainly on the dev teams thought.
I think direct restore from targz is beyond nifty and a nice to have, I'd propose it is a high impact high value requirement.
Multiple backup destinations will be awesome. I have so much disk space reserved for resilience!
@robi Thank you for the idea and suggestion that I should be using EspoCRM. I require more than a CRM in general. Here is an overview of ERPNEXT modules which include a host of functionality. The same goes for Odoo or Flextra as well.
@BrutalBirdie I guess it suffices. However Node-Red has a minimal resource footprint, really broad ecosystem and the internet has embraced it with code examples et cetera. So Node-Red would enrich the catalog of Cloudron.
As a user I want to know how large the daily backups I am doing are taking up on my drive.
It is practical for me if the web interface can inform me of this.
Such as in the summary under BACKUPS -> LISTINGS
As a user I want be able to restore an application from a one of the backup targz/zipfiles taken by the backup routine.
Why I propose this:
It is not clear to me how I do this, so I assume this is not possible.
In the restore backup dialog presented, I can upload the backup configuration, but I can not provide the backup file itself.
In a disaster scenario, it is plausible that I have also lost the actual backup destination, and I fall back to secondary backup location, which I have to fish out the backup files manually and restore them as such.
Any hopes on seeing this live? A rules based visual code suite would be awesome to have.
My cloudron has been up 7 years. My self-hosted docker installs have a much shorter lifespan. This is why I am hoping you would add it here.
Plex although a very impressive application, is eroding what it once was.
Jellyfin is the way to go
Any hope at all?
I need business applications and it would be great to leverage Cloudron beneath them. Therefore ExpNext and Odoo would add so much value to the portfolio of applications offered through Cloudron.
Yes there is Dolibarr, but it is not adequate.
Any hope at all?
Sure, https://gitlab.com/baserow/baserow/-/issues/2352 , but it is a question about how to do things in the application.
There must be more users of Cloudron who make us of Baserow who might have insights and want to share knowledge.
Does anyone know the answer to my original question?
Hi
I have a scholar and a friend who used the SIGN UP link at the bottom of the login page of BASEROW.
Okay so far so good, but how do I delete his user? He is still my friend, but I need to know how to do it.
I do not know which users are on my system and I cannot delete and manage them
The user itself can delete himself, so that's something.
@robi said in A decent CRM:
@makemrproper Cool, keep us posted on Baserow and n8n integrations.
Uhm, well it just works 
What would you like to know, use cases?
You need to remove some log files and also unused kernels
apt-get remove `dpkg --list 'linux-image*' |grep ^ii | awk '{print $2}'\ | grep -v \`uname -r\``

and:
Use ncdu to browse every container
My results:
Gained 1gb of storage by deleting /usr/local/share/.cache/yarn/ on a container volume
Gained 500mb of storage by deleting Anaconda distribution package cache within a container volume
