Just discovered that all my bookmarks are queued for indexing to have full text search. I guess this feature is not yet available or needs some setup?

Thank you @andreasdueren for the solution and all the extra explanation!

Do you know how synapse handles on which server a room is stored? Are the rooms solely on the server which initiated the conversation or are they mirrored across servers? Would that not mean that a room history is potentially always available if one of the servers does not enable the retention setting?

Continuing the discussion from What happens in the matrix channels where there are no more users ? Where goes the messages ? #8

I want to set up a maximum retention in order to keep the memory footprint low. To do so I added the following lines to my homeserver.yaml and am now waiting to see what it will actually do [1] :

retention:
  enabled: true # enables the retention, is enough to enforce it once per day
  default_policy:
    min_lifetime: 1d
    max_lifetime: 4w
media_retention:
  local_media_lifetime: 4w
  remote_media_lifetime: 4w

My first observation is that nothing appears in the room state. I started a new conversation with a matrix.org user and no default m.room.retention appears in the room state after its creation.

Does the other server (matrix.org) need to enable the setting as well ?
Is this only for purging empty rooms, not about auto-deleting old messages ?

Thanks for any info on the topic.

Hello.

I got a fresh Synapse install, with users managed by Cloudron (OIDC). How to make it possible to login from a mobile client (Element X and FluffyChat tried out) ?

Would it be possible to simply set password_config to the right setting ?

Thanks

EDIT: I finally managed with FluffyChat, I think you can delete this topic (;

@james I would suggest adding a section in the Ollama or Discourse documentation explaining how to reach the Ollama service, internally and externally. For now, I only test whatever comes to my mind but unfortunately, I can't figure it out. Feels like magic

First trial and error.

Added a new LLM entry in /admin/plugins/discourse-ai/ai-llms/new?llmTemplate=none.

Named it "Ollama" and selected OpenAI as provider and qwen3.5:2b (pulled) as model.
Set the URL to the Ollama instance and put the API key from it's cat /app/data/.api_key.
Chose QwenTokenizer and 262000 context.
Saved settings with the Submit button.

The "Run test" fails with

Non-streaming request failed: <html> <head><title>405 Not Allowed</title></head> <body> <center><h1>405 Not Allowed</h1></center> <hr><center>nginx/1.24.0 (Ubuntu)</center> </body> </html>

Changed URL to Ollama's ifconfig | grep "inet " | grep -Fv 127.0.0.1 | awk '{print $2}', like http://172.18.16.111:11434

The "Run test" fails with "Internal Server Error"

Came across the topic Self-Hosting an OpenSource LLM for DiscourseAI and will maybe give it a try with an Ollama instance if possible.

mononym

Hello.

Some time ago, I came across a blog post from Discourse where they present a translation feature using the AI plugin. It basically enables that each user can converse seamlessly in a chosen language: https://blog.discourse.org/2026/03/building-for-every-language/

The Discourse AI plugin is now bundled and can be enabled manually for available features.

As I take care of a multilingual forum, I was wondering if it is doable to have the AI translation run with a Cloudron Ollama instance:

Did someone manage connect a local Ollama instance to the Discourse AI Plugin ?
What would be a recommended requirement in RAM and model (SotA ?) to make this work gracefully ?
Otherwise, which third-party provider would you recommend using for a low traffic Discourse site ?

Thanks.

@girish

Hello. The updates did solve it and the banner disappeared. Thx.

Hello. I get the following warning on my GRAV CMS Dashboard:

Login security: no trusted host is configured, so password reset and activation email links are built from the request host and can be spoofed. Set a Site Host in the Login plugin settings, or a Custom Base URL in System settings.

None of "Site Host" and "Custom Base URL" fields has a value for now. The app is installed under a different domain name than the Cloudron Dashboard. Any advice what to do ?

Thanks !

There's a fork with additional features in the news : https://itsfoss.com/cheezy-pizza/

@jdaviescoates Thanks. I can only confirm. Should have read the right posts.
I get the feeling that LAMP-doable apps need their show window as well.

mononym

It's perfect. Thank you, @james !

mononym

@girish I absolutely agree with you. Though it is a little bit more complicated if I wanna host a linktree page to be used by someone else who has only little technical know-how. Therefore, wants to get and manage something as simple as a linktree page by themself.

Hello. May it be possible that the CloudronHealth check uses the /srv/status endpoint ? It looks like that it shows up as a crawler in the site pageview statistics otherwise. Thanks.

mononym

Just to let you know, I still get the error " Connection to the POP3 server is failing with an authentication error. Please check your POP3 settings." in the admin dashboard. Though everything looks to work perfectly fine.

@james said:

Is there something 'unique' about your Cloudron set up? Also no Cloudflare.

Not that I'm aware of. The check looks good.

I tried to look into why queued documents are not processed. In the end, it was only a question of enough patience.
But I noticed an error in Settings > System Status (top right) > "WebSocket Connection"

Don't know how critical that is...
