As Matrix is growing faster and faster a new and very promising client arrived and is very shiny. Would be great to see it in the appstore. At this point some main functionality is still missing but they are developing very fast.

Hi,
I am new to Syncthing and Paperless. With this post I want to describe how to use Syncthing to sync Paperless-ngx, my Mac and my iPhone.
First of all:
Install paperless-ngx, Syncthing and Nextcloud via Cloudron.
After the installation you have to add a local volume mount which can be shared between paperless, Syncthing and Nextcloud. Therefore go to the local e.g. media folder
cd media
and create a folder:
mkdir paperless-share
set permissions to 777 so every connected app can work with it properly:
chmod 777 -R paperless-share
Afterwards go to:
https://my.yourcloudron.xx/#/volumes and add a new volume with "Add Volume":
Name: e.g. "Paperless-Share"
Mount Type: File System
Local directory: /media/paperless-share
Go to your Paperless settings under storage and change the Data directory to "Paperless-Share". Save and the app will restart automatically.
Afterwards go to Sync and Nextcloud and add your new Volume under storage settings under Mounts and tick off Read Only:
Configure Syncting by adding a new folder and point it to the correct Paperless directory in your new local volume:
By adding this share to your local Mac Syncthing you should be able to drop files to this local directory which will be synced to the consume folder of Paperless and processed in Paperless.
On my iPhone I am using Genius Scan. They only support exports by FTP (and not SFTP) and WebDav. That's why I had to use my Nextcloud as WebDav Server which uses my local volume as external storage. Therefor just install the App "External storage support". Afterwards you can add your Cloudron Volume via the Nextcloud Admin app settings:
Name: Paperless Share
external storage: local
configuration: /media/Paperless-share/
activate sharing
activate preview
Now go to your Genius Scan App settings and add your Nextcloud WebDav credentials
And that's it. You are now able to send documents to your Paperless from your iPhone and Mac.
Looking forward to your feedback and possible other (more secure) solutions.
BTW I am using a ScanSnap ix1500 at home to scan to my local Mac folder.
Best,
Sven
My goal is to interact with my Cloudron Instance via Telegram or other Chat protocols. I know there are already implementations for Uptime Kuma but I wanted to have more flexibilty and for the future also response endpoints in my messages (restarting an app or even Cloudron (it's not impleted yet)).
What it basically does is to fetch the Cloudron notifications of a certain status and to send a message to a Telegram Chat.
Therefore I set up a Telegram Bot (https://core.telegram.org/bots). Started a chat with this bot and used the following HTTP request to receive the chat ID which is needed for n8n:
https://api.telegram.org/bot{TELEGRAMBOT_API_KEY}/getUpdates
You also need an API Key to access your Cloudron (https://my.xxx.tld.de/#/profile) -> under API Tokens
And here is the code for the notifications to build the workflow in n8n:
{
"nodes": [
{
"parameters": {
"interval": 60

I'll update this soon to include App downtimes with the possibilty to restart the App right away.
Hi,
with the new EU wide regulations for whistblowers it'll be important to have a good open source solution for this topic. GlobaLeaks covers nearly everything and is very well maintained with a big community.

Would be really nice to see it in the app store.

The solution is to add the filename to the path:
In my case:
/consume/file.pdf
@luckow What behavior do you expect? The registration site won't be disabled with this command. Only registration is prevented followed by the following failure message
@girish Yes, this was it. I did not manage to see the actual json. But seems like n8n always adds quotes using the name / value combination. I changed it to this:
{
"nodes": [
{
"parameters": {
"requestMethod": "POST",
"url": "=https://my.xxx.de/api/v1/notifications/{{$node[\"Item Lists\"].json[\"id\"]}}",
"jsonParameters": true,
"options": {},
"bodyParametersJson": "={\n\"acknowledged\": true\n}",
"headerParametersJson": "={\"authorization\": \"Bearer xxx\"}"
},
"name": "HTTP Request1",
"type": "n8n-nodes-base.httpRequest",
"typeVersion": 2,
"position": [
1100,
300
]
}
],
"connections": {}
}
Now it's working. I used this:
instead of this:
@nebulon Would be great to see this in Cloudron 8 
In combination with Nextcloud Group Folders this would give any admin a huge flexibilty in terms of rights and role models.
Would be great to have this as Cloudron App.
Hello
I noticed that the version numbers in the activity stream for all notifications from Cloudron are those of the old version. For example:
You just updated OnlyOffce to 6.4.2, but as you can see, the notifications say 6.4.1:
I checked: It is the same behavior for each package.
Best,
Sven
@girish Any news regarding notification webhooks? I am searching for a solution where I am informed every time something happens on my Cloudron. Or are there already implementations e.g. with Signal oder Telegram?
@umbergerba I am using iCloud as a second smtp server on my iPhone. Two things:
smtp.mail.me.com
Hope that helps.
Best,
Sven
@girish Thanks, looking forward to it
@jdaviescoates I built something with n8n. Easy but straight forward:
