Cloudron Forum

@ekevu123 anything the UI doesn't provide a config for that the conf file might.

@ekevu123 just following the thread from above, and having some config visible in /app/data.

There may not be a need at all.

Wow they're in San Jose, CA

@ekevu123 ah, would it be beneficial to you if the config was read in from disk on start and written out on changes and shutdown, while life config is in db?

@humpty all our apps are node.js based .

No worries, there's a new node 0day too!

config lives in /app/data, no?

On 26.04, follow the guide's MySQL 8.4 step (stop box, install mysql-server, re-run the box setup script, start box). After that, cloudron-support --troubleshoot passed cleanly and every app came back with the same state

Can you expand to include the path/to/the/box/setup-script?

Perhaps there's a way to insert the JS tracking script from Matomo so you get stats that way?

It would be useful if the Cloudron nginx could proxy auth protected paths/routes defined in App packages and inject an allow list for logged in admins who installed it.

In admin panel when renaming a file it doesn't highlight the name and cursor is at end of file.

Would be great if name was highligted so one can start typing new name.

@jdaviescoates Thanks, could be MacOS specific, I'll try a remount and see what happens.

UPDATE: it still makes it crash, the files display in the mount for a second then disappear as it bombs.

Repro:

• New Surfer App
• log into admin
• set up alias & + new alias site
• upload file to default site
• copy that file, switch to alias site, paste, fails

From all the Surfer changes, does this work for folks?

I was able to connect and mount webdav to a new surfer instance via user/app password, but I can't write to it.

It mounts as empty when it should show what we see in /app/data or /app/data/public?

Then it seems Surfer app crashes and restarts.

@andreasdueren nicely done!

I found the 10% with this is a different size on page compared with 10% from the previous plugin I tried.

So now it's more like 50% that I use, but of course changes depending on the size of the original image.

Interesting other suite of apps too: https://chief.app/

Due to my work with the dev here, we now have forum wide image resizing built in, no plugin required.

To resize an image and keep the aspect ratio, append ?w=50% to an uploaded image file link in the markdown editor.

More detail at the GH link above.

I've had the same, we'll see if it keeps sync now.

UPDATE: the icon now seems to update as I view posts that generated notifications. It was stuck before and yes a Chrome based browser issue.

Brilliant, well done Marcus.

When I used to build a lot of WP sites, even installing the WP Cloudron app and all the plugins was a considerable time sink.

The time saver trick I came up with is to do that once and save it as the wp-template app subdomain from which I can clone from backup new instances much more quickly already setup with all the basics.

Cheers

So the app breaks with regular updates?

@james is there a pre-backup/update hook to run module updates?

@timconsidine Nice Tim, thanks for that.

Where do the files end up?

Since you're going through Surfer admin, what does the File Manager dir tree look like?

Editable in FM after or have to keep using /_admin?
