Hi there! Just tried to customize the not-responding template by creating a file in /home/yellowtent/boxdata/custom_pages/app_not_responding.html as suggested here, but it doesn't seem to get registered. I did chown the folder with yellowtent and even restarted the server, but neither seemed to have done the trick. Am I missing something?

I've been using hardlinks for a few days now and encountered no problems so far. Would the backup job notify me if some links couldn't be generated? Not sure what happened the last time I tried that.

ok, switched to rsync + hardlinks, testing

# cd /var/storagebox/test
# touch foo
# ln foo bar
# ln foo baz
# ls -l foo bar baz
-rw-rw---- 3 yellowtent yellowtent 0 May 11 20:44 bar
-rw-rw---- 3 yellowtent yellowtent 0 May 11 20:44 baz
-rw-rw---- 3 yellowtent yellowtent 0 May 11 20:44 foo

rather disappointing, seems to work

I think when I tried that last year, the first backup went through (as well as manually creating hardlinks), but the subsequent ones were throwing errors. I thought it was due to the amount of data (40gb+ nextcloud instance), but the support said otherwise. When I have time I'll try again and let you know

@nebulon when I asked hetzner about a year ago about hardlinks on storage boxes they said:

auf unseren Storage Boxes kommt ZFS zum Einsatz.
Hardlinks werden aus Sicherheitsgründen leider nicht unterstützt. Eventuell könnten Sie das Problem der Deduplizierung auch über BorgBackup lösen: https://wiki.hetzner.de/index.php/BorgBackup
Unsere Storage Boxes unterstützen BorgBackup rsync nativ.

Are you sure those are working now?

Because I just gave a user the "User Manager" role (I thought this would enable a user to manage the users of a certain group): It would be awesome to lock that user-manager to a specific domain/group, so all other users won't be visible to that person.

Same goes for admin vs. group-admin (admin = global, group admin can only install/manage apps, email and users on the (primary-) groups he's added. This way you can let people manage their own users without interfering with other groups. Does that explanation make sense?

you didn't miss it, it's this evening

I was thinking on the dashboard icon itself, but left of the docs works for me as well

Great news as always, you guys are doing an incredible job!

If you want more things to do, I would suggest a feature that you already once had (I think): The possibility to add links to adminpanels for the apps in the dashboard (maybe in the manifest?), maybe on the left side when you hover it (like /wp-admin/ for WordPress, /_admin/ for surfer). There are probably a few more of those, but those are the main ones that I'm using.

Not sure if that's something anyone else wants, but I would be up for that

if you want to make sure this works, you could try with a test-instance, after that a clone and then the real thing good luck either way!

worked fine before when I tested it, did you also set

password_config:
  enabled: true
  localdb_enabled: true

and maybe restarted matrix?

@will you can just enable registration in homeserver.yaml and you're good to go

@yusf that is a good question, I moved the app to a different subdomain to test around, but that's probably not it. I'm guessing it is because of new keys and everything, haven't tried to re-use any of the existing ones.

Oh yea, atm there is no default channel, you might want to remove the comment on those lines as well to get new users in there automatically

For those using my version and want to migrate to the official cloudron version, this is how you get there (it is a bit hacky, but worked out better in the end than exporting/importing the db and files) - BE CAREFUL WITH THE CLOUDRON CMDS, I DON'T WANT YOU TO MESS UP YOUR SETUPS:

• backup!

• grab the latest version from here

• get the app-id from resources tab/cli/terminal and ssh into your cloudron to update the appstore-id via:

  • mysql -uroot -ppassword
  • use box
  • UPDATE apps SET appStoreId='org.matrix.synapse' WHERE id='your-current-synapse-matrix-app-id';

• go to Updates, check for a new version and update (do that 3 times and you should be on 0.7.0 which is the latest one)

• if you had external users like I did, you might need to adjust the following config items in the new homeserver.yaml

enable_registration: true
allow_guest_access: true
password_config:
  enabled: true
  localdb_enabled: true

• move your media_store files from /app/data/synapse/media_store to /app/data/data/media_store or adjust the path in homeserver.yaml
• restart and test if everything is working, also check https://federationtester.matrix.org/

Depending on your setup, you might also want to check the new config if the server_name is the same as before - else it won't start I think (I was using a subdomain and the main domain is not on cloudron, so I had to rename it to matrix.mydomain.com and also added echo '{ "m.server": "matrix.mydomain.com:443" }' > server to well-known as described above.

I also had to re-verify the devices to read the encrypted history, but that worked out fine and it seems to be all there. To finish up, you can rm -rf the old dirs and files, best to compare with a fresh installation to be on the safe side.

@stantropics I had a surfer app at example.com and curl'ing the well-known url gave me a 404. After a bit of reconfiguring it worked, not sure if that's your setup as well, but maybe try reconfiguring the example.com app and see if that solves your issue (if that's what you're asking)

everything works fine now, no idea what caused the issues, all good, thanks @girish

you could give surfer a try

I installed a test-instance as well on a subdomain and neither federation nor the integrations are available. @girish ping me on the chat for debugging

I've just integrated that on a website of mine - I don't think this would require to be a standalone app, you just include some js files and you're done, not sure what the benefit of a standalone version would be.
