Cloudron Forum

I am hosting a family tree using a software called grampsweb and I want it host under a sub-domain that is managed by Cloudron.
In in google cloud console, I see that all the A record will be against the IP that cloudron is running and all sub-domains are effectively managed by cloudron, something like VHOSTS.

Now, if I want to host an application in a different instance(like grampsweb in a few digital ocean instance with an IP), and I want to point it to cloudron sub-domain, how can I go about doing this? I don't have a CNAME, I only have an IP address and I need to point it to an A record.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you. That command helped. Now I have some broken images next to some profile pictures like using verified status pic (or something). I think, I check that next. But this was a huge help!

What is the possibility that some packages will need 3 days in 2 days? Do other administrators constantly upgrade their days every day or weekly?

I host my Mastodon on Cloudron, and due to the storage requirements, I do a regular clean up of old content.
Once I deleted the profile pictures and icons of the feeds by mistake, nad it has been showing up with broken icon pictures for me now.

I don't know how to fix it, I have tried a few ways to migrate, un-subscribe and re-subscribe. but doesn't help.
Any suggestions how to fix the icons that I have deleted from the static assets of the mastodon and make it recreate it again?

The URL of the Broken link is like this

https://social.learntosolveit.com/system/cache/accounts/avatars/111/195/203/375/907/163/original/18170f36b1d0b6c6.jpeg

I must have deleted the cache folder in the system and I want to re-created. I thought, something called cache would be temporary store, but it seems it is not here.

Some of my Apps, like the Ghost App below shows Upgrade Required Constantly.

I have done 5 Updates since last two days and I visited the App Update log in the forum and didn't see as many updates.
What's happening here? Can I make sure cloudron can auto update the apps and not prompt me for upgrade all the time?

Hello, I am interesting running Teamcity Server in my cloudron instance.

The way to run the server using docker is given as

docker run --name teamcity-server-instance \
-v <path to data directory>:/data/teamcity_server/datadir \
-v <path to logs directory>:/opt/teamcity/logs \
-p <port on host>:8111 \
jetbrains/teamcity-server

How can I convert this into a "Cloudron" app? Can some point me the right direction or to a document / tutorial?
I have read how to the build cloudron app and looked the examples too, but I seem to missing

a) How to publish the app from a docker image directly?
b) Configure the volumes and the port as given here.

Thanks in advance.

Could it be that ip address of the instance changed the service is not able to resolve to the new ip address?

The AWS LightSail IP-Address had changed, I had to manually go to my Google Cloud DNS, and update the ip-address to new ip-address and do a DNS Sync for other apps to update the ip-address.

I am bit surprised that DNS sync wasn't automatic when the host ip-address had changed. Am I missing anything?

I am using Cloudron on AWS LightSail. I rebooted my instance, stopped/ started. The services are coming up fine, but my dashboard is not loading.

Could it be that ip address of the instance changed the service is not able to resolve to the new ip address?

FWIW, I am using Google Cloud DNS.

Any troubleshooting suggestions?

oh this might then actually be an unbound issue.

Indeed, it was. Problem resolved.

Thank you, @nebulon , @girish and @scooke .

Which Cloudron version are you on (atleast version 7.1 is needed). I don't think this is the problem, though.

For some reason, my digital ocean instance wasn't having a correct resolv.conf and I had to update it.
I was able to get the latest app version.

But I am still facing this problem with authentication error.

I pushed a new package yesterday 1.7.3-1 that fixes this. Can you check?

I don't see it. I tried check for updates and still shows 1.7.3

There is mismatch between package version and server version in the minecraft app.
Please see the screenshot.

Package version says 1.19.3
The internal server version is 1.19.2

I tried increasing the memory for the app, and still faced this issue.

• I can login to other servers with my account, so it is not a minecraft issue.
• It has to be a server (host) or an app issue.

If my system time is incorrect, would it affect only minecraft app? Is the system time in the docker container (cloudron app) or my digital ocean instance? Any thoughts / suggestions on this?

@nebulon said in Authentication Servers are Down. Please try again later, sorry! - Error message with Minecraft App 1.9.2:

Is this happening for a long time or related to mojangs auth servers? Please note that the user accounts within minecraft are actually minecraft accounts, not Cloudron accounts.

I am tried login to my server (cloudron minecraft app) after a while and I am seeing this.
Internet says it might be something do with server setup and not really an auth issue.

My minecraft service is running fine. But the application is throwing this error message.

I checked the logs and the error message was this

@nebulon - Thank you.

Can I look forward to the Discourse 2.9.0 update. It will help me with a migration.

Thanks in advance.

@nebulon said in Google Sign In for Surfer:

so you could write small shell scripts for each site to avoid the risk of uploading to the wrong instance.

Yes, I do the same. Thank you.

@nebulon said in Google Sign In for Surfer:

The aim for Surfer is to be a quite slim static asset server. The current auth which is there was just trivial to add, since there was already the user-interface which was Cloudron auth enabled.

Thank you for this explanation.

I enjoy using it, and it filled in my need for static sites. I previously I used Github pages or Neltify.
Both had limitations and extra management that I avoid with surfer.

---

A different topic, but one feedback I had with surfer design was, I had to adop token based upload, with managing multiple sites from a single local computer. The global credential was security risk, when one of my site was private.

@scooke The domain was matrix.learntosolveit.com

But now I get this error.

request failed: CORS request rejected: https://matrix.learntosolveit.com/_matrix/client/r0/publicRooms?server=matrix.org

@girish said in Google Sign In for Surfer:

are you asking how to make a static web site which uses Google Sign-in ?

Yes, I was looking for that.

@nebulon said in Google Sign In for Surfer:

However since there is no session or active code on the server side to deal with this, all content protection logic has to be done on the client side, which I am then not sure what the benefit of it will be.

Yes, I wondered about this too. I didn't know how the client side library will authenticate if I can have direct link to a different path.

---

@nebulade - on this topic - surfer has password, and ACL authentication. What does it take to add an OAuth authentication to surfer? Is it possible? Is it desirable / or in roadmap? Your thoughts please.
