Cloudron Forum

Hi Cloudron team,

We've encountered an issue with the default CRON configuration for the FreeScout app on Cloudron.

The default CRON script installed for FreeScout is as follows:

#!/bin/bash

set -eu

cd /app/code

echo "=> Run cron tasks"

# when run with --no-interaction it will not daemonize (unlike in the supervisor config for it)
/usr/local/bin/gosu www-data:www-data php artisan schedule:run --no-interaction

The problem lies in the --no-interaction flag. According to FreeScout's official documentation (link), this flag should NOT be added to the command, as it prevents the background queue:work daemon from running. This behavior is exactly what we're experiencing.

Unfortunately, we cannot modify the default CRON file in /app/pkg/cron.sh since it is read-protected. Additionally, when we attempt to add the correct CRON command to the Cloudron CRON section:

* * * * * php /app/code/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1

It results in duplicate CRON jobs being executed, further complicating the situation.

Could you please advise on how to resolve this? Ideally, we need the default CRON script adjusted to align with FreeScout's documentation or an alternative solution that allows us to override the existing configuration without conflicts.

Thanks for your assistance!

Best regards,
Phil

Hi everyone,

We recently changed the Default Data Directory in Cloudron, but it ended up causing permission issues, so we had to revert the changes and manually adjust the permissions. Since then, some services, including PostgreSQL, are no longer working correctly.

For example, PostgreSQL fails to start with the following error:

Feb 19 13:42:15 ==> Detected existing installation
Feb 19 13:42:15 ==> Copying updated config
Feb 19 13:42:15 ==> Updating existing postgresql
Feb 19 13:42:15 pg_ctl: could not access directory "/var/lib/postgresql/14/main": Permission denied

We suspect that some file ownership or permissions might still be incorrect, especially in the following directories:

/platformdata
/boxdata
/appsdata

Could someone confirm the correct chown and chmod settings for these directories to ensure Cloudron operates properly?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @girish,

Thank you for your prompt response, the technical stuff seems correct now that you mention the supervisor.

The main issue we had is that the queue was not running.

I've just checked the supervisor and see that the artisan-queue was crashed.

/app/code# supervisorctl status
apache2                          RUNNING   pid 223, uptime 1 day, 2:46:07
artisan-queue                    FATAL     Exited too quickly (process log may have deta
ils)

/app/code# supervisorctl tail artisan-queue
artisan-queue: ERROR (unknown error reading log)

After removing our CRON command to run the schedule and restarting the Freescout Service I can now see the artisan-queue running. Even though if I do:

supervisorctl tail artisan-queue

I still see

artisan-queue: ERROR (unknown error reading log)

Not sure if this is an issue or not, but the queue is now working
Hope it stays like this.

Best regards,
Phil

Is it possible to disable autoconfigure?
We use an external one, and it's overwriting our configuration.

We use the FreeScout OAuth module connected to Google, and we do not use LDAP. However, every time we restart our Cloudron instance, the provider settings reset back to "Custom OAuth Provider" with the name "Cloudron."
