Cloudron Forum

@andreasdueren That‘s what I use daily.

@girish Immich still has a very similar caveat
Hoarder does have 31 releases though and some very interesting features such as advanced fulltext search with qualifiers, APIs, telegram-bots, etc.

@girish said in Bug: When adding of a volume fails, docker container creation fails, removal of old volume impossible:

nvm, I reproduced it. If you change the path behind Cloudron's back, it doesn't work. I think it's correct to error since that path doesn't exist anymore. But anyway quick fix is: simple create empty /media/SG2TB/M/Calibre on the server and then Retry configure will work.

After it comes up, remove the mount from the app, delete the volume, add new volume with correct path, add mount into app...

That's what I did, I went behind Cloudron's back
... and didn't think of the obvious solution presented by you! Thank you.

Are you able to just uninstall the app? You can import data into the new app from backup. But looks like a bug that needs to be fixed.

Yes, I could do that but would lose all my settings. As I wrote:

I don't have a backup as I just installed the app.

Scenario:

• I had a volume "Calibre" set up as filesystem with the path /media/SG2TB/M/Calibre but I changed the path afterwards to /media/SG2TB/M/Books.
• Tried to include the volume in the Komga app.
• I get an error BoxError: (HTTP code 400) bad parameter - invalid mount config for type "bind": bind source path does not exist: /media/SG2TB/M/Calibre
• Now I can't remove the (wrong) Volume in the Komga app view as the Save button in the storage tab is greyed out:
  
• I can't remove the Volume in the Volume setting as it is "in use":
  
• Restart is also greyed out:
  
• I don't have a backup as I just installed the app.

What can I do?

Yes, that's my main gripe with Nextcloud: Core functionalities are outsourced to (user / inofficial) plugins that are not fully supported, work once but not after an update, etc.
Stuff like fulltext-search, OICD, AI-features should be baked in and fully supported.

For our family, I switched away to iCloud - and Cubby for when I need a WebDAV interface.

Can the "llama" be a Cloudron service, usable by other apps?
An "external" llama - at least if running on the same server - would be against Cloudron rules? Otherwise, it could make sense to package it for convenience.... (IMHO)

This update brings AI Tagging based on a local model - I assume that’s not implemented? https://docs.linkwarden.app/self-hosting/ai-worker

Length > Complexity. Always.
Both is better.

An Intel N100 equipped device is (still) fully capable and very low on power consumption (the N300 doesn’t seem much of an upgrade). I‘d get something fanless. See reviews e.g. on https://www.fanlesstech.com/

BTW I‘m currently moving some critical services away from my self hosted home server setup. Passwords are too important, they should be hosted and protected by professionals, in my opinion, I therefore moved them to Bitwarden hosting (for just 1$ / month, it‘s a no brainer).

Same goes for important documents that I have moved from Nextcloud (whose product strategy I don’t understand) to (the E2E encrypted) iCloud (since I already have it for their fantastic photo and backup service, anyway).

Having worked in an IT company for the last 2 years (as a lawyer who works on escalations with customers, inter alia) has made me more appreciative of professional IT security (and more wary of my own skills in this area)…

You can always check on https://git.cloudron.io/explore if someone‘s already working on it.

IMHO „vanilla“ is clearer than „fresh“

A few weeks ago we removed ghostscript and Ocrmypdf (since it uses ghost script) due to licensing issues

Interesting - is it the copyleft aspect of the AGPL?

What makes this better / different from the existing apps Filepizza, Jirafeau or Vaultwarden's "Send" Feature?
Or the already requested - inter alia - transfer.sh, Linshare or transfer.io?
I'd recommend to incude some language why an app packager should invest time in this particular software...

In addition to Jirafeau, Vaultwarden has the "send" function which works quite well.

As mentioned in my post

Yes, I believe he is and I‘ve noticed the same annoyance a couple of times. I think it depends on your specific browser and how it handles power management.

Also, Hetzner is a German company, hence bound by very-strict anti piracy laws.

@humptydumpty was right - set it up securely at home (I‘d recommend qbittorrent and binding the network interface to the VPN; there’s no easy way to do this with Transmission; or use one of those dockers that include Torrent client and VPN so it doesn’t „leak“).
Even the new VPS probably has your (payment) data that it could release if so requested by a court.

BTW Traffic not going through is a known problem with RethinkDNS, see https://www.kuketz-blog.de/rethinkdns-tutorial-auf-unbestimmte-zeit-verschoben/ (quite a famous German IT blog):

The tutorial for RethinkDNS scheduled for the first quarter of 2024 has been postponed indefinitely. Even after the release of version 0.5.5c, RethinkDNS still has some annoying bugs. Personally, I can react to this and find workarounds - but an average user will be overwhelmed with it.

Attached are some of the bugs I noticed:

Function not available: Under the universal firewall rules, the option Block any app that is not in use is available. However, to activate this function, permission must be given under Accessibility/Accessibility. Since version 0.5.5c this is no longer possible, it only appears the note For security reasons this setting is currently not available. In version 0.5.5a this problem did not yet exist. [There is a solution for this]

DNS issues: When switching from WiFi to the mobile network, DNS requests continue to be sent to the internal DNS server of the WiFi network and not to the wireless operator's DNS servers. Only after under RethinkDNS -> Network -> Choose IP version -> Auto is set, the correct DNS server (of the mobile phone provider) is requested. This problem did not yet exist in version 0.5.5a.

Airplane mode: If the Android Continuously Active VPN function is enabled and the device is in flight mode, apps such as K-9 Mail, ntfy, Feeder etc. continue to try to connect even though no network is available. Where exactly the error lies, it is not clear to me at this point. Whether to RethinkDNS or to a bug e.g. with the WorkManager.

WireGuard: Overall very flawed. Often no traffic flows through the tunnel, even though it is set up.

In view of these and other bugs, I currently think it makes more sense to wait for further development than to create a tutorial. In the end, frustration would prevail and that can't be my goal.

adblocking and VPN without needing Adguard

How do you not need Adguard?

RethinkDB uses Wireguard as a proxy. It also has firewall and Adblocking stuff. It's like Adguard on steroids and it's free.

I guess you’re talking about RethinkDNS at https://rethinkdns.com/ (with „paid plans coming soon“)?
RethinkDB (https://rethinkdb.com/) is a different software…

It looks like development has seized on GitHub. Maybe close this topic?
