Cloudron Forum

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.

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.

It's perfect. Thank you, @james !

@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.

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.

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...

A pity that this does not show up in the /srv/status endpoint as well.

The admin dashboard on our instance indicates "Translation missing: en.dashboard.problem.sidekiq_check" maybe corroborating the findings.

As this is about email, I wonder if there's a way to have a chatmail relay. Kind of "batteries included" for the couldron email addresses or so. But I guess that's out of scope. Just came across that project again because it got some larger grant: https://www.sovereign.tech/tech/chatmail

I found a docker compose.yaml which could maybe be helpful.

The oPodSync documentation states that registration is disabled after the first account creation, but that seems not to be the case for the cloudron package.

The env.sh content

export TITLE="My oPodSync Server"
#Enable below to open up registration after initial account creation
#export ENABLE_SUBSCRIPTIONS=1

reflects the settings, but I was still able to register accounts.

Hello. The link towards the documentation page from the app dropdown menu is broken: it is currently https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/opodsync but should be https://docs.cloudron.io/packages/opodsync instead.
