Cloudron Forum

Thanks for raising this question, @jdaviescoates.

I am personally not sure open-sourcing is critical here, as I think the first beneficiaries would be big cloud platforms (AWS, etc) that would then be able to host it and cut out any income for the developers. The current source available arrangement strikes me as probably necessary and appropriate.

I'm increasingly convinced that OSS as such is broken as a means of protecting against corporate exploitation, and it should not be celebrated as an end in itself. Based on my conversations with @girish, I think the single most important fact about Cloudron is that the company is bootstrapping (based on our subscription fees) and not seeking an exit. As long as that's the case, I think the community should support their self-defense through licensing.

Rather than fixating on licensing, it might be more relevant to all of us to discuss the possibility of an "exit to community" for Cloudron, in which ultimately the company we pay into becomes owned by—and accountable to—the people who rely on it. This could help ensure that the company we're paying into, and that is stewarding the code we depend on, doesn't get captured by forces beyond our control.

Given that Lemmy is taking off due to the Reddit issues, it seems like it would be very worthwhile for Cloudron to support it.

Using 172.18.0.0/16 worked for me on the WOPI whitelist when using built-in CODE server.

A friend just told me about Start9, which makes both hardware and an OS for self-hosting:

Thank you! The Site Logo block did the trick. Thanks, @girish!

Wordpress has gotten so complex!

Hugely exciting. Thank you!

@3wordchant This is really exciting. Thank you for sharing this project!

@girish Thanks so much for this! Just what I needed. I'm working on creating an example repo that I can use for future. I think I fully de-cloudron-ed it... Am I right to leave in .gitlab-ci.yml this part?

Here's the repo: https://gitlab.com/medlabboulder/docs

Let me know if there's anything else I should do. But for now it deploys!

I am using Cloudron to manage a university class with 250+ students. I wonder if there is a way to easily add all the students to a specific group, without having to add them manually one by one. For instance, can I:

• Send them a magic link that they can use to create a new account in a given group?
• Import them via a csv file or the like?

Thanks for your help.

Hi friends—is there anyway to deploy Node.js on the LAMP server? or a recommended alternative approach?

I'm having a strange experience when using Listmonk (which in general I love!). The number of recorded views on my campaigns has been significantly declining. I can't figure out why this might be (other than lousy content?). Can anyone think of a way I could diagnose this issue?

Has anyone tried to push an MKDocs site from GitLab to a Cloudron app, either Surfer or the GitHub Pages app? I would love guidance on how to do that. It'd be great to manage the site on GitLab but have it push to Cloudron.

Thanks!

Hi! I'm trying to replicate a GitHub/Lab Pages setup using the combo of Gogs and GitHub Pages on Cloudron. Basically the goal is that anytime a commit occurs on Gogs or local changes are pushed to it, I want it to deploy to the GitHub Pages site. I also want to do this in a way that doesn't expose the credentials to GitHub Pages in a git config data file.

My assumption is that, if this is possible, it would be through Git Hooks on Gogs. But I don't see how best to include login credentials there. I'm not the best at shell scripts. Can anyone help me with this?

Thank you so much.

Following this thread I raised the timeout period and got at least some promising results. I haven't tested at large scale. But I'm curious if others have any best practices suggestions for these settings.

Analytics are still not loading, even with memory raised on the db and the app.

@jdaviescoates Me too!

Agreed! Any progress? It seems like it could be better than Commento.

@ntnsndr Update: I just created a test campaign for 500 dummy users, and it appears to be working normally, arriving in my x+[1-500]@gmail.com inbox within about 30 minutes of initiating the campaign. In order to achieve this, I did the following in Cloudron:

• Raised Listmonk memory limit to 512
• Raised postgresql memory limit to 2 GB

And in Listmonk SMTP settings:

• Max connections to 25
• Idle timeout to 2m, Wait timeout to 5m

I am still getting the "AxiosError: Network Error" on any analytics page on Listmonk.

Note that in the past I have been able to send campaigns to large lists without changing any of these default settings, but my server has been under increased load lately.

I would appreciate any further guidance on best practices from @girish or anyone else. Thanks!

Update: two days later, this setup did NOT work for my 900 person email list. I got an even lower view count than before, with more errors.

@girish Will do!

I'm trying to migrate Gogs to Gitea. I've had too many issues with the limitations of Gogs and need something a bit more fully featured.

I'm trying to follow these instructions but am getting stuck on the attempt to create a backup file:

root@90d8b446-14e3-45a1-87e0-e669aa2581c0:/home/git/gogs# ./gogs backup
2024/04/16 16:54:13 [ WARN] Custom config "/home/git/gogs/custom/conf/app.ini" not found. Ignore this warning if you're running for the first time

How can I run this backup command in the Cloudron terminal environment?

Apologies for my ignorance, and thank you in advance.

How does one change the favicon in Managed WordPress? It didn't work to add the favicon.ico file to the file system, and I can't find the Site Identity tool described here.

Thanks!
