Cloudron Forum

thank you @joseph

thanks for clarifying, now I'm less confused !

every day I'm opening my Cloudron dashboard and filtering all apps with a specific tag.
I'd like to avoid the manual filtering of apps associated with specific tags, for instance I would like a permalink with the tags as query parameters at the end of the apps URL, something like : https://my.cloudron.domain/#/apps?tags=cron,dailycheck

Does such thing exist or is it possible to implement it? I can alternatively make some user script for this as a workaround, but I'd like to get this kind of feature out of the box.

Thanks in advance

that's what I expect to see in the notification

For most app upgrades installed on my instance, the full changelog is shown in the notifications tab, but not for Calibre-Web.

Is it possible to fetch the full changelog and include it in the notification area as for other apps?

@necrevistonnezr I don't have iOS so I can only forward to https://www.macobserver.com/tips/how-to/how-to-use-syncthing-ios/
as a complement to your link, hopefully there is a way. I should give that a try.

You can backup to a private cloud with Obsidian Git plugin or Syncthing (not a plugin, but available on any machine and even on Cloudron) already , I do it for years and because I also sync many other things with Syncthing, I feel I do not need a specific app for Obsidian sync. Just Syncthing works well for tons of stuff like even replace Dropbox to sync GBs worth of Video/Pics/Music/Docs..., etc.
Once you give Syncthing (which is free) a try, you won't need much of any other sync app

@joseph said in Reboot Required - Notification:

Note that the notification does not disappear. It simply becomes unread. I guess you are expecting the notification to be hidden/invisible after a reboot?

Yes as the notification contains an action and as long as the notification and call to action remain active and visible I assume the reboot procedure has failed to be acknowledged by Cloudron.

I would expect the reboot action to be disabled after reboot is done - clearer for me. Mark read/unread is not enough it doesn't tell me the reboot and security patches are applied.

@joseph : for now I'm using a cron job (code below) and Cloudron API to check every 10 min which app is down and restart it, is it possible to mimic some basic autoRestart as part of Cloudron platform instead?
That would be nice to free ourselves from maintaining scripts like below even if I truly love scripting and fixing problems myself

#!/bin/bash
API_TOKEN="<REDACTED>"
CLOUDRON_URL=${CLOUDRON_WEBADMIN_ORIGIN}
APPS="<APP_ID> <APPNAME.MYDOMAINE.TLD>
<ANOTHER_APP_ID> <APPNAME.MYDOMAINE.TLD>"
echo "$APPS" | while read id url; do
  status1=$(curl --max-time 15 -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" "https://$url")
  status2=$(curl --max-time 15 -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" "https://$url")
  if [ "$status1" -ne 200 ] && [ "$status2" -ne 200 ]; then
    curl --max-time 5 -s -X POST "$CLOUDRON_URL/api/v1/apps/$id/restart" -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_TOKEN" \
    && echo "$url restarted ✅" \
    && php /app/data/scripts/send_email.php <EMAIL>  "Cloudron Healtcheck" "Service at $url was automatically restarted!"
  fi
done

I wonder in which case the app is going back online? My experience has been that either we had to restart an app, either an app crashed, but then we have to manually trigger a restart.
Did I miss other use cases? I'm still scripting a restart of crashed apps every 10 min like for WordPress, Shaarli, which seem to be taken down regularly by indexing bots, I know it was planned to automatically restart apps on demand in Cloudron settings, but I doubt it is already implemented and hence I also wonder in which case the "App is online" notification would be really helpful. Maybe for shared Cloudron instances managed by several users/admins?

@fbartels in that case that's good as it's the option I've already tried as mentioned at the end of original post. It took me a while to find about it's existence though because it's the first time I had to face such an spam on my instance, usually blocking user agents was enough

@joseph thanks! how to make use of the linked change for my shaarli instance? I'm not fully grasping how they relate.

Regarding CF I'd prefer to avoid them, I'll never give them credit nor let their bloated modern firewall interfer with my stuff. They already ruin the web enough. So I prefer blocking by IP I guess....

My Shaarli app on Cloudron has been crashing for the past hour, but it seems I'm unable to make use of iptables in the container nor configure apache rules to block those bots.
I've of course blocked the user-agent via the Security config of Shaarli but it does not seem enough.
How to mitigate this? I can't use Shaarli because of that or only for a couple seconds after restarting it. My Shaarli is a small instance.
Workarounds exist https://sublimecoding.com/blocking-bots-in-apache-using-htaccess/ or https://github.com/mitchellkrogza/apache-ultimate-bad-bot-blocker/blob/master/Apache_2.4/README.md but require access to the configuration (apache/.htaccess...).

Any idea? For now it's Shaarli, tomorrow it could be another web app on my instance, and I'm unsure to want to maintain my own block list and risk blocking myself by accident, even if that seem to be a viable solution? https://docs.cloudron.io/networking/#blocklist

How do you mitigate this kind of spam?

I confirm the notification persists also for me (Ubuntu 22.04) despite 2 successive reboots.

As long as you don't trust Deepseek too much https://www.wiz.io/blog/wiz-research-uncovers-exposed-deepseek-database-leak

I dont see the absolute need of AI for tagging really, it's so personal and can be achieved without AI, without losing accuracy. Wallabag does it with their tag engine. Cheaper and more accurate and ecological so than any AI.
AI makes also the results very random and unpredictable in terms of quality and makes such apps very dependent on something else. Why not local models?

@joseph said in Frequent Email is not configured properly notice:

Maybe DNS is periodically failing on your servers. Do you know which DNS servers your server is using? You can use resolvectl to figure this.

Thanks for the explanation! my DNS servers are :

Current DNS Server: 1.1.1.1
       DNS Servers: 1.1.1.1 9.9.9.9

The notification tells something about a wrong value for PTR record but the email status page tells this PTR record is fine. I don't know which to believe?

Hey,

This is now a regular thing I notice on my Cloudron instance,
The email settings page always show everything is fine but during the night I get those notifications that email configuration have problems and those notifications disappear after some time.

I don't know what to do to remediate this or what to look for exactly when this happens especially as DNS configuration is fine and email status is good.
What is annoying is that I can't keep track of how often this happens as the notifications do not persist forever.

I'm not hosting emails on Cloudron but it's configured to work with two domains and the emails are correctly sent from my instance for those domains, for notifications etc.

Any time I'll check to remediate those alerts, the email status page shows everything is fine.

Any help is welcome

Thank you @nebulon ... it's awesome timing , thanks for the share! I guess that should be considered a solved problem for the future then.
