Just a FYI in case you missed it: BunnyDNS (supported by Cloudron) is now offered free of charge.

Edit: See next post for details.

Just a message of appreciation to @andreasdueren for building the Elasticsearch community app! It's saving me €5 a month now. Thank you very much!

All good here!

The project does not seem to be maintained anymore. Should we move to this fork? https://github.com/sharevb/it-tools

Another vote for LibreTranslate. It seems that Mastodon v4 now offers translation using the LibreTranslate API. So it would be sweet to have this running on the same server.

"️ We are planning to release important security fixes for #Mastodon on July 6th, between 13:00 and 15:00 UTC. They will be available for the 4.1, 4.0 and 3.5 versions as well as a nightly release, to make the upgrade as small and painless for everyone as possible. Be ready to upgrade!"

Sure! It is quite easy, once you know what you are doing.

Take the following code and replace the <S3...> boxes with your S3 compatible storage's data.

media_storage_providers:
- module: s3_storage_provider.S3StorageProviderBackend
  store_local: True
  store_remote: True
  store_synchronous: True
  config:
    bucket: <S3_BUCKET_NAME>
    region_name: <S3_REGION_NAME>
    endpoint_url: <S3_LIKE_SERVICE_ENDPOINT_URL>
    access_key_id: <S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID>
    secret_access_key: <S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY>

Make sure the endpoint URL starts with https://
Copy the code to your clipboard.

Open the file manager of your Synapse App in Cloudron Dashboard. Navigate to configs and open the homeserver.yaml file. Paste the code from your clipboard at the end of the configuration file.
Save and restart the app.

@girish Yay! Thank you.
I am all new to this Linux game so I wasn't aware I could just set the environment variables like that.

For everyone else, this is what you need to do:

──────────────────────────────

1. Set up S3 with Synapse. See my post here: https://forum.cloudron.io/post/60415

2. Create a database.yaml file in /app/data/configs that contains the postgres database credentials.
   You can find those in the existing homeserver.yaml file.

    user: xxx
    password: xxx
    database: xxx
    host: postgresql

3. Create a script (e.g., s3cleanup.sh) with the following contents:

#!/bin/bash
cd /app/data/configs
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=[your S3 compatible access key]
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=[your s3 compatible secret access key]
/app/code/env/bin/s3_media_upload update /app/data/data/media_store 1m
/app/code/env/bin/s3_media_upload upload --delete --endpoint-url https://yours3storageendpoint.com /app/data/data/media_store [your s3_bucket_name]

4. Run the s3cleanup.sh script.
   It will look up media that hasn't been touched for 1m (= 1 month) or whatever you set above. It needs to be an integeger value, followed by either m = month(s), d = day(s) or y = year(s).
   It will create a cache.db file that refers to the media that matches your criteria.
   In the second step, it will upload all files from the cache.db to your s3 storage and delete the local copies.

The output looks like this:

Syncing files that haven't been accessed since: 2022-12-25 14:59:14.674154
Synced 603 new rows
100%|████████████████████████████████████| 603/603 [00:00<00:00, 16121.24files/s]

Edit: Added path /app/data/configs to script to make it work as cron job.
Edit2: Added more choices for duration suffixes in 's3_media_upload update' job.

Disclaimer: This is to the best of my knowledge and understanding. It worked for me, but I accept no liability for loss of data on your server caused by my incompetence.

Cloudron gives you plenty of protocols to choose from.
I am backing up to https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-box via SSHFS. Only paying €3.81 currently (for 1 TB), which is more than fair IMO.
If your VPS is not in Europe, you can also check out IDrive e2 (https://www.idrive.com/e2/pricing). It's an S3 compatible service.

I had the opportunity to test the first production release of Documenso (v0.9 from two weeks ago). Everything worked perfectly. The GUI looks very much like PandaDoc without any options. Right now, you can only add a date and signature field. The date cannot be formatted. Signatures can be added with mouse / touch or by just typing your name (unfortunately, this cannot be turned off). The feature set is extremely basic, but the project looks very promising. I'd love to have it available in Cloudron as soon as the staff decides it is safe to implement.

You can test the current version at https://sign.adminforge.de
This is a test instance. I've asked the admin if it's OK to share the link here. He is looking for testers that share their feedback (see https://adminforge.de/kontakt/).

"On November 1st 2025 I’m going to dismantle the entirety of infrastructure that powers tt-rss.org, cgit, this forum, and other related sites.

The reasons for this are many but the tl;dr is that I no longer find it fun to maintain public-facing anything, be it open source projects or websites. As for tt-rss specifically, it has been ‘done’ for years now and the “let’s bump base PHP version and fix breakages” routine is not engaging in the slightest.

You have a month to mirror any interesting repositories of gitlab.tt-rss.org or git.tt-rss.org, afterwards they are going away."

@thoresson I had the same. Deleting browser cache and cookies solved the problem for me.

@BrutalBirdie Hero!

The update to 8.3 took a while, but everything is running smoothly. Advice from me: Start the update and go for a walk. Leave your smartphone at home.

I find it totally confusing. I have to look on the left for new messages and on the opposite side for notifications. Plus tiny symbols on the sidebars and a huge font in the middle.

I will certainly adapt to it, but if you are counting votes for returning the classic theme, here is my +1.

Documenso pretty much clones the GUI from PandaDoc, what I have used before. So it was pretty appealing to me.

Due to the lack of features, I gave DocuSeal another chance in the meantime, and now I am very used to it. I am not self-hosting, I even decided for a paid subscription. The author @docuseal is very response and added my feature requests in no time. Sticking with DocuSeal now.

I had changed to Argon2id a while ago. Since I was not sure about this needs to be done, but it was offered to me, I also rotated my encryption key as explained here: https://bitwarden.com/help/account-encryption-key/
No matter if you just change the algorithm or rotate the key, you will need to log out on all your devices (desktop client, mobile client, browser extension) and login in again afterward.
What I did had no impact on OTP.

I am very stingy when it comes to my server resources, so I'd love to be able to assign quotas of less than 1 GB to some users (those who only need their mailbox to identify and receive server messages). Could you adapt the slider or introduce an input field instead?

Welcome to the club of one-liners.

Can't wait! This looks like a huge benefit to my subscription.
