@girish ah but Emby and JF uses also sqlite R
right?

Hi there,

Thank you for adding Memos to Cloudron! I noticed that the ‘server name’ and ‘icon’ do not update for unregistered users.

When navigating to the login/auth page, the server name and icon appear to update correctly.

I also saw a GitHub bug related to this issue, but it looks like it was resolved there:
GitHub Issue

Could this be an issue on Cloudron’s end?

randyjc

Fixed it:
Create:

/etc/udev/rules.d/99-dri.rules

paste:

KERNEL=="card[0-9]*", GROUP="video", MODE="0666"
KERNEL=="renderD*", GROUP="video", MODE="0666"

@random_eric sorry to be reopening this topic. But how did you managed to get this permission being set?

I got the exact same issue currently.

Sorry will test this afternoon. Was at an little holiday

Hello,

I'm using Uptime Kuma within my department to test certain robots. I was also planning to use the Cloudflare Tunnel, but to my surprise, the plugin isn't enabled. I also wanted to make use of the Apprise notification method, and that one isn't enabled, either.

Does anyone know how to enable those on my Cloudron instance? Additionally, in the Uptime Kuma docs, I don't see the path for the Chrome/Chromium Executable. Does anyone know that?

Thank you

BR,
Randy

@nebulon if multi-user won’t be supported, will this app be skipped in cloudron?

randyjc

https://docs.librephotos.com/docs/user-guide/first-steps#how-to-import-photos-from-an-external-nextcloud-instance

I think this is an awesome feature to combine with your photo management software. I'm currently testing different kinds of photo apps to find a workflow for uploading all my photos to a separate photo app for sharing. However, this feature makes it really easy for me, as it will simply copy the data over to your LibrePhotos app.

I installed this via tipi for testing, and I'm really amazed by it. I was first looking into SnipeIT but that was way to advanced for home usage.

I vote for this to have it on Cloudron

randyjc

@girish Oke feel stupid. That worked, thank you.

I’m using Tailscale IP, so all traffic is going via the tunnel. My assumption is that it doesn’t matter if it’s not encrypted as long as I use the Tailscale tunnel? ‍️

randyjc

Hello everyone,

I’m facing an issue while trying to share a folder over my network with another Linux server. I’ve set up an NFS server on Cloudron and anticipated it to work smoothly. However, I’m encountering a problem where the port seems to be blocked? I’m using Tailscale to establish the connection between the two servers.

When attempting to connect from the client side, I’m consistently getting a timeout error. I’ve tried troubleshooting, but so far, I’m unable to resolve this. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

I was searching for a way to install Hugo together with Gitea and came across @fbartels excellent software to make this happen.

I ran into some bumps getting everything working properly, so I wanted to share my experience with this great community in hopes it will help others.

PS: As I mentioned on my site, if you find fbartels package useful, please consider making a donation to show your appreciation.

You can find the full guide at: https://cloudbasis.nl the guide below is without the extra added info of what what is per software.
Below is a condensed version of the guide without the extra background info per software:

Step-by-Step Guide

Let's get started with deploying Surfer and Gitea on your Cloudron server. Once complete, we'll set up the Drone CI solution to automate content deployment to your website via Drone > Gitea > Surfer.

Note: Never perform these steps on your Cloudron Server itself. Utilize any Linux-compatible device, like WSL for Windows, or any other Linux device. Please be aware that Windows support for this setup has not been tested by me; I use WSL as a recommended option.

Preparation

Choose a Linux-compatible device for this setup. In my case, I utilize a Docker LXC (Proxmox) from tteck to enjoy a fully dockerized environment available 24/7 when needed.

On the Docker LXC, install the following packages using apt:

docker-compose-plugin
git
jq
make
npm
hugo

Ensure that npm is updated to the latest version to avoid errors with Cloudron CLI:

npm install -g n
n stable

The Cloudron CLI can be installed on Linux using the following command:

sudo npm install -g cloudron

Docker Hub

Create yourself an account on Docker Hub. Remember your username as you will need that later in this guide.

Installation

Drone CI

Go to your desired folder on your Linux machine.
Login to your own Cloudron Instance via Cloudron CLI:
```
cloudron login my.yourowndomain.nl
```

Clone the repo and cd into it:

git clone https://github.com/fbartels/cloudron-drone-app && cd cloudron-drone-app

Do the magic with the following command:
```
DOCKER_REPO=your-docker-hub-user make install
```
Info: Because you used cloudron login, your Drone custom app will be deployed on your Cloudron server. The URL will be https://drone.yourowndomain.nl
Create an OAuth at your own Gitea environment.
See this for more information.
Back on your Linux machine (with this command, you go into the bash of your Drone instance at Cloudron):
```
make exec
```
Edit the following file:
```
nano .env
```

Fill in your URL, Client ID, and Secret from Gitea.

DRONE_GITEA_SERVER=https://git.yourowndomain.nl
DRONE_GITEA_CLIENT_ID=<see step 5>
DRONE_GITEA_CLIENT_SECRET=<see step 5>

The rest is already pre-filled; just don't touch it.

When you've successfully made your edits, you'll have to restart your Drone application. You can do this by executing:
```
cloudron restart
```

Runner

We have to make some edits to the original script start.sh to make it work.

nano runner/start.sh

#!/bin/sh

set -x

random_string() {
        LC_CTYPE=C tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' < /dev/urandom | head -c32
}

update_env_file () {
    varname="$1"
    varvalue="$2"
    if ! grep -q "$varname" ./.env; then
        echo "$varname=$varvalue" >> ./.env
    else
        sed -i "/$varname/c $varname=$varvalue" ./.env
    fi
}

cloudron pull /app/data/.env .env

. ./.env

update_env_file DRONE_RPC_SERVER "https://$DRONE_SERVER_HOST"
update_env_file DRONE_RPC_HOST "$DRONE_SERVER_HOST"
update_env_file DRONE_RUNNER_CAPACITY "$(nproc)"
update_env_file DRONE_RUNNER_NAME "$(hostname)"

docker compose up -d

The above is a bit different from the original script; I've added the following line:

update_env_file DRONE_RPC_HOST "$DRONE_SERVER_HOST"

and I've replaced docker-compose with docker compose.

Save that; we will return to this later.

Surfer

Navigate to your Cloudron app: Surfer (example: https://blog.yourowndomain.nl).
Click on the link 'Manage your files in your browser'; this will redirect you to the admin panel of Surfer.
You can log in using the same credentials you use for your Cloudron environment.
On the top right, click on the three dots to open the menu. From there, click on 'Access Tokens'.
Click on the button 'Create Access Token' and save that somewhere in your notes because you'll need that in the next steps.

Gitea

If you haven't created any repo yet for your Gitea environment, I recommend you to do that now.
Once you've done that, you can use that repo to host your code from Hugo.

Example: randyjc/example_hugo - example_hugo - Gitea (cloudbasis.nl)

Drone CI

Go back to your Drone instance and activate the repository that you have just created on your Gitea environment.

Info: If you don't see your repo, click on SYNC (top right button).
Once it's activated, you'll be presented with the settings page.
Go to Secrets (not under Organization) and click on the button '+ NEW SECRET'.
Fill in the following:
- Name: surftoken
- Value: <see step 3 under surfnet>
- Make sure that 'Allow Pull Requests' is unchecked.
Click 'Create'.

Runner

Go back to your terminal and run the following command:

cd runner/ && ./start.sh

Info: When executing the script outside this folder, you'll get the error that it cannot find any configuration file.

Output should look like this:

+ cloudron pull /app/data/.env .env
+ . ./.env

[+] Running 1/0
 ✔ Container drone-agent  Running

If you run docker ps, you can see the container is running:

CONTAINER ID	IMAGE	COMMAND	CREATED	STATUS	PORTS	NAMES
3c7518132092	drone/drone-runner-docker:1.8	"/bin/drone-runner-d…"	1 minute ago	Up 1 minute	3000/tcp	drone-agent

Hugo

You can run Hugo on any machine you like, as long as you have git and Hugo installed.
For simplicity of this guide, I just use the exact same machine where I have the runner running as well.

Go to your terminal where you have Hugo and git available and cd to your desired location for your git repo.

Once there, follow these simple commands:

hugo new site mywebsitename && cd mywebsitename
git init
git remote add origin https://git.yourowndomain.nl/<user>/<your-git-repo>.git
git submodule add https://github.com/budparr/gohugo-theme-ananke.git themes/ananke
echo theme = '"ananke"' >> config.toml
hugo new posts/hello-world.md
hugo -D

You'll now have to create the config file for your Drone CI instance so that the runner knows what to do with it:
```
nano .drone.yml
```

Paste the following inside that file:

---
kind: pipeline
name: blog_website
concurrency:
  limit: 1
steps:
  - name: submodules
    image: alpine/git
    commands:
      - git submodule update --init --recursive --remote
  - name: build
    image: plugins/hugo
    settings:
      hugo_version: 0.79.0
      extended: true
      validate: true
  - name: deploy
    image: 'fbartels/cloudron-surfer:5.12.2'
    environment:
      SURFTOKEN:
        from_secret: surftoken
    commands:
      - surfer --version
      - touch public/ # touch folder to avoid problems with timestamps
      - surfer put --token $SURFTOKEN --server blog.yourowndomain.nl ./public/* / 
    when:
      branch:
        - main
      event:
        exclude:
          - pull_request

Save & exit the file.

Follow these commands:

git add .
git commit -m "first push to Gitea"
git push origin main

If everything went well, you have now pushed all the files to your Gitea, and your Drone runner is probably already busy working on deploying it.

Success!

Navigate to your domain where you have deployed your Surfer instance, and you'll see that your Hugo website is now successfully deployed.

You could also use rclone together with mergerfs to create some kind of layer.
like
/mnt/remote
/mnt/local
/mnt/mergerfs

You then write stuff locally, and it'll upload stuff in the background to your remote storage.

You can look for inspiration @ https://github.com/l3uddz/cloudplow

I'll just start using Monica, and hopefully when Chandler is out of beta it'll be a smooth transition haha..

randyjc

Bit of a long stretch here…
But, is it possible to get Chandler?

I was planning to use Monica (lol), but it seems they are planning their way to Chandler. As I start with a new database, it would be logical for me to use the new beta instead of Monica on the older branch.

Just updated to new version, but when using something from weasy you’ll get an 500 internal server error.

java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "weasyprint": error=2, No such file or directory!

Cloudron makes it easy to run web apps like WordPress, Nextcloud, GitLab on your server. Find out more or install now.
