Cloudron Forum

Dear all,

I am interested in installing an open-source Student Information System, such as RosarioSIS, for a college in addition to their Moodle e-learning site.

Is there a possibility of porting this kind of application to Cloudron in the near future?

Thank you for your hard work!

Best wishes

@BrutalBirdie Thanks a lot. It works !
So just to wrap-up for other people, in order to embed your calibre-web app page (ie library.example.com) in Moodle (ie moodle.example.com) iframe you just need to add instructions in both app CSPs :

In Calibre-Web CSP:

frame-ancestors https://moodle.example.com;

In Moodle CSP:

frame-src https://library.example.com;

@marcusquinn I confirm the latest version of Talk updated 4 days ago (spreed 22.0.0) works with the new Nextcloud Hub 25. You have to install it manually however as the NextCloud App Store is down. Simply download the archive from the GitHub page (https://github.com/nextcloud/spreed). Then extract the archive and rearrange it’s content so that you have just one folder named spreed containing all the others files and folders (I mean to avoid having a first spreed folder containing a second spreed folder containing all the rest). Compress it again. Then upload the zip file in your Cloudron’s Nextcloud app folder using Cloudron GUI. Delete the old spreed folder and extract the new one. Don’t forget to change the ownership of the spreed folder from roots to www-data (NB I had to use CLI to do that as it would not work otherwise )

Hello @james,
Thank you. My bad I completely overlooked the documentation Alright I'll give it a try

Would be great to have this app on Cloudron
Please make this happen

I’m exploring this route at the moment. I think this has to take place at OBS level using something like the free and open-source https://vdo.ninja web app.
Requires a bit of preparation before hand but the end result is pretty cool. More info in this tutorial

PS: An unavoidable 10s buffering delays is expected with Owncast way of streaming. Discussions between participants are possible but a bit tedious and obviously require discipline

@necrevistonnezr Thanks for your feedback. You're right ! I've cleared the cache and ... voila

Hello all,
Thanks a lot for the Pretix app — it works great! That said, I need to print PDFs of tickets and badges with custom non-Roman Unicode fonts (i.e. the Saysettha Lao font). Currently, they only display as squares.

I understand that it is possible to add new fonts with the fontpack plugin: https://github.com/pretix/pretix-fontpack-free.

I'm not sure if this can be easily installed within Cloudron (?)

Would it be possible to include this plugin in future versions of the Pretix Cloudron package?

Thanks a lot for your support!

Best wishes

@timconsidine Was on the same boat. Pulled my hair off until I saw your post. Millions thanks

Update on SIS apps. I've managed to successfully install Gibbon on Cloudron's LAMP. It works fine

NB: I've also tried RosarioSIS but was not successful.

PS: The latest app I'm trying to install is OpenSIS. Should work but it requires to disable MySQL Strict Mode. Unfortunately as I'm not a PHP dev I don't know how to proceed .

Thank you @james
I could not get it to work. After several attempts, I ultimately deleted the backup files and started with a new configuration. As advised, I also set the retention period to "unlimited" (it was previously set to two days).
Everything is working well now, and I was able to back up and clone the app without any issues.
Thanks again, and keep up the good work!

• Summary: Kitsu is a collaboration platform designed for animation and VFX studios, offering a range of features to streamline production processes.

Team Collaboration: Keeps everyone on the same page with seamless communication and collaboration tools.

Production Tracker: Provides a 360° view of your data, helps schedule work, and sets expectations.

• Notes: I'm developing a non-profit animation studio as a hobby. This tool is a jewel to organise and track an animation production with a team. I know it's niche and the chances of it being picked up and available on Cloudron one day are slim. However, I submit it here mainly as a reference and to possibly find a freelancer willing to take on the packaging job.

@robi thank you. Indeed it does allow me to type a command . My bad (I was waiting for the prompt to blink or something)
Case solved I guess

Hello all,

Just wanted to share what happened to me and the way to fix it in case you experience the same issue. @cloudron_admin please delete the post if not relevant.

After applying recent Ubuntu security updates and rebooting, my Cloudron instance became unreachable.

cloudron-support --troubleshoot

showed Docker was down, and

systemctl start docker

failed while running dockerd manually worked fine.

I've worked it out with the support of ChatGPT. Root cause : An outdated Cloudron systemd override file:

/etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/cloudron.conf

This override replaces Docker’s default ExecStart and uses older flags (like cgroupfs) that are no longer compatible with newer Docker versions. As a result, Docker fails to start via systemd.

Fix : Remove the override and reload systemd:

sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/cloudron.conf
sudo systemctl daemon-reexec
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart docker

Verify Docker is running:

systemctl status docker

Then restart Cloudron:

sudo systemctl restart box

Result

Docker starts normally again, containers come back up, and the Cloudron dashboard becomes accessible.

Notes
Modern Docker versions already handle most of the options that the override was forcing.
Removing the override lets Docker run with its correct defaults (including proper cgroup handling).
This issue may appear after unattended upgrades or manual system updates.

Hope this helps anyone running into the same issue

Thanks for this initiative. Would be happy to join, time and date allowing (my time zone is GMT+7 at the moment). Best wishes !

Dear Cloudron @staff,

I understand OnlyOffice CE only allows 20 simultaneous connexions, a limit which could be quickly reached when used in not-for-profit education institutions or civil society organizations with limited ressources...

I've just come across this thread on the NextCloud forum that mentions an OnlyOffice version with "unlimited number of users" :

https://help.nextcloud.com/t/onlyoffice-server-with-no-limits-2024/192498

There is also a Docker based version that apparently can increase the users number to 100. See this other thread : https://help.nextcloud.com/t/onlyoffice-compiled-with-mobile-edit-back/79282

Do you think it could be possible to have such extended versions as Cloudron's app ?

I guess there may be security (and maybe ethical ?) concerns to use such builds (?)

Thanks anyway for your feedback

Best wishes

Noted with thanks @jdaviescoates

@girish Thank you. Well noted. I will re-instal it then.

PS: In my opinion, it would be worth highlighting this point on the installation screen of the application, as it is a fairly definitive choice.

Dears forum member,

I've a question regarding Nextcloud Federated Cloud Sharing. Does it work between Nextcloud apps hosted on the same Cloudron ?

I've tried unsuccessfully to share the content of one folder between 2 Nextcloud apps (named DHP and UHS respectively). Both apps are hosted on the same Cloudron and both use Cloudron's LDAP users directory to authenticate their users.

For both apps I've activated the Federation plugin and allowed all file sharing options as per NextCloud forum's instructions.

I also add each app as a trusted server for the other just in case. I could later-on get the status color to green by running occ federation:sync-addressbooks command.

Anyway, when DHP app try to share a folder with an UHS user the folder is listed as shared on DHP side.

But on the UHS side the shared folder has a new type of icon and the content of the folder is not visible..

NB: In the Federation instruction it is mentioned that "Your Apache Web server must have mod_rewrite enabled, and you must have trusted_domains correctly configured in config.php to allow external connections

I could configure the trusted domain in php but I don't know how to enable mod_rewrite (?)...

Thanks for your support and long live Cloudron !
