The Heimdall app launcher / dashboard would be a great addition to the build in app luncher for cloudron.

Maybe even a preset provisioning with the cloudron apps could be accomplished.

Packaging the docker image should be fairly easy (I think).

@girish Awesome! You guys really know how to set priorities and I love the direction cloudron development is going in! Great job guys!

I would also be interested in this. Maybe @girish and @nebulon could offer a (paid!) recorded webinar with some simple sample apps? Maybe even some more advanced "tutorials" later on? I would also be willing to pay for this, and most likely others as well. Recording these webinars and offering them in a web shop should not be too hard and this might be another source of income for cloudron and get more apps in the app store in the future.

An LDAP server would be great. I would vote for an identity provider (with LDAP, Oauth, etc.)!
I think @jimcavoli is already working one something along these lines: https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/2320/scaling-high-availability-cloudron-setup/5

Thanks for the update @girish! The 5.1.5 update of cloudron fixes the error and Kopano Meet is working now.

@girish said in Is cloudron subscription per 'instance' or per 'customer':

@dfldadm The pricing is per instance. For email atleast, I recommend, running it on a separate VM along with a webmail. This won't cost you anything since it's covered under the free plan (email is also not counted as an app).

That's an interesting idea. Is there any way to sync the users between the two separate instances? If we run email and webmail on a separate instance we would have two seperate user bases, right?

Maybe exposing LDAP (encrypted) to another instance (or even better: active-active LDAP sync) would be something for the future? This would add the possibility to run multiple servers with the same user basis.

Licensing would be something to look into and a single dashboard which connects to the apps would be needed as well. So just some ideas here. You guys are doing an incredible job in what you are doing (plus contributing upstream) and I can't say enough that I really appreciate the hard work and support that all cloudron contributors are putting into this amazing product!

@timmeh scaleway is/was facing an issue with their object based storage in Amsterdam:
https://status.scaleway.com/incident/775
I was facing the same issue and just created a new bucket and used that one for backups. Should be fixed on the scaleway side soon though.

Getting elasticsearch into Cloudron would be great! Fulltext search for Nextcloud is a must and running a separate instance side by side to cloudron is very inefficient...

@girish said in What's coming in 4.5:

Mail fts search - This will be optional since the dovecot+solr integration takes a lot of memory.

Mail fulltext search for dovecot with solr would be awesome. I would love to see solr being integrated in a way that other apps can use it, eg. for implementing a Nextcloud fulltext search.

@echokos From what I know the DNS settings will be propagated correctly and set to the new IP if you enabled DNS management in cloudron right after restoring the backup on the new server. There is also the "dynamic IP" option which you can set in case the automatic switchover does not work and DNS records are not set correctly. This should not be necessary though.

@Vladimir You might want to check (via command line) if you have any stale sieve filters left for the mailbox. This might happen if you switched the webmail installation.

I would also be interested in this. Maybe @girish and @nebulon could offer a (paid!) recorded webinar with some simple sample apps? Maybe even some more advanced "tutorials" later on? I would also be willing to pay for this, and most likely others as well. Recording these webinars and offering them in a web shop should not be too hard and this might be another source of income for cloudron and get more apps in the app store in the future.

Thank you! A local installation of imapsync on the server did a great and fast job in transfering the emails from one account to the other.

Having this available in the cloudron universe would be simply awesome and a big selling point. I have so far not seen any providers offering a hosted solution with the Talk High Performance Backend. @doodlemania2: please keep us updated on the packaging. If you need help with tests, etc. let us know. I really appreciate that you are willing to give it a try!
Together with a future elasticsearch service (hopefully) for full text search, cloudron will become a great nextlcoud hosting platform.

Is there a way to move an email user from one domain to another? We need to migrate a user from domain1.xyz to domain2.xyz. The new feature to define aliases with any configured domain works great, but when sending a mail as an alias it is send "on behalf of" and we would like to switch the user mailbox completely to a new domain. Any way to do this without creating a new account and migrating all mails?

@nebulon Sweet! Thanks a lot, looking forward to it!

@d19dotca For small mailboxes, the client side webmail search might be good enough. Implementing a server side search can speed up the fulltext (eg. text within the mail body) search by a lot though. I am personally more keen on the implementation itself (solr or elastic search) as this core service could be offered to other apps such as Nextcloud for a fulltext search in documents as well.

The IMAP protocol (also used by webmail) can offer a server side search for the clients to offload the search for the client to the server. Using full blown clients like Apple Mail do not really need this as Spotlight on Mac OS already indexes all mails, but especially for webmail/groupware clients this is very useful.

From skipping though the documentation it looks to me as if the backend including the SFU would be addressed by a NATS server and could be proxied by nginx. While I haven‘t (yet) looked deeper into packaging apps for cloudron and don‘t know if Go would be supported by the base image, I would assume/hope this could be packaged (at least theoretically) for cloudron?

Wow, what a big step to release this as open source. Especially with Jisti being hard to be packaged, this would be awesome to get running on cloudron. I am not aware of any solution offering a videobridge/MCU/etc. so far that is available on cloudron, so this would be a great addition.
