Cloudron Forum

Sorry for the frustrating experience but I have to say in several years of using Cloud infrastructure, this is the first time I hear of someone providing a server on non-port 22. This is why such a special case has not made it to the docs. May I ask what VPS provider this is? We test installation over 30 providers, all use port 22 by default.

@Reveller I replaced "many" to "some" 😄

By far the most crucial one is backup/restore related workflows since the database is not included part of the backup of this one app.

@Reveller said in Rudimentary question about how domains work in Cloudron:

@jdaviescoates Thanks. Overthinking is one of my unfortunate specialties. But the docs are very clear that the apps are installed on subdomains - https://docs.cloudron.io/installation/

I see what you mean, I think @staff ought to update this part of the docs which give the wrong impression:

Domain Setup

Provide a domain like example.com. The way Cloudron works is that the dashboard gets installed at my.example.com, and apps are installed under subdomains that you specify like git.example.com, chat.example.com, and so on.

@Reveller said in Rudimentary question about how domains work in Cloudron:

But by looking closer at the demo, I can see how the location can be changed (app's location tab) - so I assume that's how it's done.

Yes, you can always change location there, but you can also just directly install on the root domain in the first instance too.
