Cloudron Forum

Well, it's in beta right now anyway, and only then on Ghost(Pro) - https://ghost.org/help/social-web/ . Give it time.

EDIT: I kept reading and at the very end it says it's open to all customers... is that self-hosters too?

BUT, there is this line in the middle of the article "At the moment, short-form posts that you publish here don't show up on your website. They just go out to your followers on the social web." So, try following someone first, then post. Feel free to follow me @shane@social.futurnumerique.com. Let me know your handle, I will follow you, and when you post from your Ghost blog I'll try to see if I can see it.

@nebulon said in Email sending issue again (Was: URGENT):

we only provide best-effort support through the forum. If you need more timely and direct support, we have a subscription plan for this.

SERIOUSLY.

@Gengar Yes.

OK, i'm gonna say it: It's something to do with infomaniak, and it's time to move to a different VPS provider.

@girish PLUS, counting on any dev or dev group to have their Dockerized setup standard enough for anyone to just plop it into an env and give it a try is hopeful thinking. There are TOO many variables involved, even in something like Docker which is supposed to mitigate these variables.

i will however re-install this server

@mmtrade said in Email sending issue (was: URGENT):

@scooke thats not a nice thing to say... wasting someones time? I asked to give me directions to check this.

No. What you are doing is not very nice.
You have been given directions, yet you reinstall everything, so anyone who has spent anytime thinking about the problem as you stated has now had their time wasted because you didn't follow the steps they suggest. Now the situation has likely changed somewhat, so everyone has to start over with your poor description of the problem (other than it sure looks like you are a spammer... 5436 emails??? and 10k+, and that is the reason for your email troubles) As @BrutalBirdie points out, you have not yet provided the mail service logs, despite being asked for it, and having been given instructions about how to get them, as well as a screenshot showing you where to click to get them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do not ask for that again... just read this entire thread and you will find them.

Are you being purposefully obtuse and difficult @mmtrade? Several times you've been asked to check something by someone trying to help you, and you don't do it. You either reinstall the entire server or just ignore the posted help. You're wasting everyone's time if you won't follow the suggestions.

Something is off here.

@jdaviescoates This is a pertinent question. I've bought VPSes over the years from different providers that were not ready to roll. The user had to install or activate networks, or the port, or something that I'd say was non-trivial. I'd say 20% of the time I come across this, including other small niggly things like no time server, wrong fs, dns resolvers, etc. At some point, if Cloudron ain't working in your server when it works on soooo many others fine, it's time to just cut your losses and change servers and service providers.

@stbg said in Focus on Business Apps:

Like this one:

This is ridiculous. The lowest elest plan offers just 1GB ram, 20GB storage, and 1 core, PLUS just one app. If you bring your own VM, there are limitations - "To be eligible the VM you connect must have no more than 2vCPU, max 4GB RAM and max 80GB disk." Why? So that you HAVE to go through their Dashboard, where RustDeskServer, by default, costs at least USD 15/month (in Europe, it's 5 bucks more in NA and Asia), getting you this: 2 CPU, 4 GB RAM, 40 GB Storage (this server, CPX11, cost about USD 4.70/month at Hetzner) you only get the one app, so the app costs just under 11 USD/month. One app for 11 bucks. Cloudron gives you unlimited apps for 16 bucks a month.

You know what app elest doesn't have? Bookwyrm. How dare they. This is an app which I really need. Since they don't have it, they clearly don't care about the inner writer/author in me, and others. So, I am not going to give them my business. (They DO have misskey and btcpay server, but I can set up the latter on my own.)

Elest is reckoned to have 11-50 employees, Cloudron 0-9 (pretty sure it's not zero, though).

Who is the VPS server?

Sounds like it is server-side. Has your vps provider done upgrades or changes lately?

@crazybrad I can't think of anything specifically, other than they offer whole-server imaging backup, snapshots, I can't remember the name, and at least twice when something borked with Cloudron in the earlier days and I couldn't fix it and my backups were wonky for some reason and I didn't want to lose ALL the data, those ssdnodes snapshots saved the day. They were daily, so I just restored my entire server, Cloudron and all, to the previous day. Phew. They've been good with letting me cancel a service and putting the leftover towards the next upgrade. I started with an 8GB server I think, and slowly increased until I'm on the 48Gber. Never had any slowdowns. Once they had to change the IP, but they gave lots of advance notice, and I had no downtime.

@jediD83 If it's ONLY you, and you follow NO ONE, but you expect many to follow you anyway to read your posts, then yes, I think it might be enough. But if you are imagining being disciplined enough to do this daily (or maybe a cron job, i guess), that means you will be using it daily... in which case I think it still won't be enough.
Traffic goes up and down. Depending on who you follow, and who's posting what, you will soon enough have a surge of data on your instance. Trust me... TRUST ME, you don't want your server running out of space. @jdaviescoates uses Scaleway. I did too for a little while. I also used my own self-hosted Minio instance for a while. Right now I'm using B2 for my main Cloudron server, but will shift away from that to some other SSHFS mount on another server I rent.

fwiw, I am exactly this - the sole user registered and using my Mastodon, wherein I am the admin (of course). Before you go any further though, be sure you have the data storage worked out. If your storage is on the same server as your Mastodon instance, it will fill up more quickly than you might expect, and then it all comes crashing down. The more users you follow, the more data will be generated. The more you post, the more data is generated. So, make sure you have some off-server data storage worked out, unless Mastodon is the sole app on that server. For example, I was running it on my main server but it just took up too much space, so I moved it to it's own servarica server with 1TB disk, and along with a WP app (to take care of the .well-known issue), it runs fine on 4GB + 4GB swap, and I don't worry about the 1TB.

EDIT: All this using Cloudron, of course!

@crazybrad said in What are your numbers on Cloudron instances?:

how long have you used SSDNodes?

I've been with them since June 2017, believe it or not. I've been using Cloudron since 2016, so the need for alot of ram really hit home and I started looking for such VPSes. I don't recall where I heard of ssdnodes; very possible it was from lowendtalk.

It's just me on my SSDNodes server (vCPUs - 12, Memory - 48 GB, Disk - 720 GB), with 63 apps... I'm basically running my entire digital life off of this server + Cloudron, using mail for only my.example.com domain (and MXRoute for ALL the rest), with just 23 domains. Never had a problem with email.

@girish said in Add a"Staff Choice" badge/filter to App Store apps:

I don't want to be part of the decision-making of our end user.

Totally get this. You're already part of the opportunity-making for end users like me. This is why I stick around, you and the team really have some good heads on your shoulders.

why use ai when we already have Real Intelligence here.
