1. Enter the Flow editor
2. Go to Settings on the top panel
3. Go to Metadata on the left panel
   You'll find the necessary options there.

The blocking of any administrative action (Installing, Resizing, Restarting etc. of any app) while the backup process is ongoing, is, in my experience, a rather big nuisance.

I take backups 4 times a day, each of which lasts at least an hour. During this time, i can't seem to execute any of the administrative tasks listed above.
This results in me experiencing a forced downtime, which isn't really acceptable to me.

How do i avoid this scenario?

And can something be done about this on a permanent basis?

Thanks

Some apps, such as n8n, depend on custom reverse proxy config, for their core functioning. (See:
https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/9011/bug-cors-error,
https://community.n8n.io/t/cors-error-in-scenario-where-reverse-proxy-manipulation-is-not-available/25054
)

As Cloudron currently does not provide that facility, for use-cases where such config is essential, having the app on Cloudron becomes irrelevant.

Thus, need that functionality within Cloudron.

I also started using Peertube a few days ago. Have been continuously uploading new videos to it.
Crashed initially, but not since i increased the resource limits as well as the server resources.

Here's the usage graph now:

@scooke @LoudLemur @nebulon

Sure.

1. My data is stored in 3 places:
   a. local storage (Only this is included in the 'App backups')
   b. mounted volume (for certain options that are temporarily space-intensive, like: tmp & streaming_playlists )
   c. object storage (primary/permanent storage for the video files)

The config in production.yaml :

storage:
  tmp: '/media/my-mounted-volume/my-project/storage/tmp/' # Use to download data (imports etc), store uploaded files before processing...
  avatars: '/app/data/storage/avatars/'
  streaming_playlists: '/media/my-mounted-volume/my-project/storage/streaming-playlists/'
  redundancy: '/app/data/storage/redundancy/'
  logs: '/app/data/storage/logs/'
  previews: '/app/data/storage/previews/'
  thumbnails: '/app/data/storage/thumbnails/'
  torrents: '/app/data/storage/torrents/'
  captions: '/app/data/storage/captions/'
  cache: '/app/data/storage/cache/'
  plugins: '/app/data/storage/plugins/'
  client_overrides: '/app/data/storage/client-overrides/'
  bin: /app/data/storage/bin/
  well_known: /app/data/storage/well_known/
  tmp_persistent: /app/data/storage/tmp_persistent/
  # Use two different buckets for Web videos and HLS videos on AWS S3
  storyboards: /app/data/storage/storyboards/
  web_videos: /app/data/storage/web-videos/
object_storage:

  # Needs to be set to the bucket region when using AWS S3
  region: 'region'

2. For Remote Runners:

a.

b.

c. Set up remote machine(s) using the Peertube CLI to connect to your app, using the Runner registration tokens.

3. For Matomo, i'm using a plugin: https://www.npmjs.com/package/peertube-plugin-matomo

Hi all. When can we expect to get the updated package of the latest release of this software?

Thanks.

Does anyone here have any links to a good comparison between Activepieces and n8n?
Or any insights from first-hand experience of both?

Hey @devtron .

I was curious about it too, so just tried the same using DBeaver.

I was able to successfully access Directus' Postgres database by:

1. configuring SSH connection to the server that Cloudron is hosted on
2. using:

• host = value gotten from the host server by using `docker inspect postgresql | grep IPAddress
• database = value gotten from Directus' 'terminal' (echo $CLOUDRON_POSTGRESQL_DATABASE)
• username = value gotten from Directus' 'terminal' (echo $CLOUDRON_POSTGRESQL_USERNAME)
• password = value gotten from Directus' 'terminal' (echo $CLOUDRON_POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD)

Figured it out.

Just uploaded my node's folder to the custom-extensions folder and restarted n8n.

@nebulon

Seem to have finally resolved the issue, by deleting those empty directories, using find . -type d -empty -delete, for now.

Although, the app is steadily creating new empty directories already!

@girish Indeed, that was the case! Thanks

I'd installed the plugins, but didn't check them yet.

The plugin had a placeholder (invalid) value set as the default.

@girish said in Unable to connect to a DigitalOcean managed database:

None of the feature like backup/restore will work

So far, they've been working fine. Because, all that's required to be backed up in such cases is the app code. Of course, as the database is external, it is accepted that the backup system is external & independent to Cloudron.

@girish said in Unable to connect to a DigitalOcean managed database:

Not an expert on the apps and I don't know if it's the main purpose. But they work just fine with fresh databases as well where you use it like a nocode/locode app.

Yes, pairing up with external databases is indeed, one of the primary features of these apps. And using a fresh database is just one of the features, and not always preferred.

You might want to state clearly and prominently, particularly in the cases of such apps, that external connections are not allowed/recommended.

I tried these steps : https://docs.cloudron.io/storage/#swap, which increased the Swap size.

This seems to resolve the above issue, as the app has now successfully installed.

@fbartels Thanks for the triage!

Will raise a ticket there.

When trying to enable the ssl module, using: a2enmod ssl, i'm running into this:

root@451e4844-.......6e3e69d:/app/code# a2enmod ssl

Considering dependency setenvif for ssl:
Module setenvif already enabled
Considering dependency mime for ssl:
Module mime already enabled
Considering dependency socache_shmcb for ssl:
Enabling module socache_shmcb.
Could not create /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/socache_shmcb.load: Read-only file system

even though, the socache_shmcb module does seem to be available, as i can see it in /etc/apache2/mods-available/

How to resolve this situation, as i need to enable proxying of bot requests to a prerendering service, in the .htaccess file?

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://service.prerender.io/%{REQUEST_SCHEME}://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [P,L]

Since the latest upgrade to Peertube v6.0.2, i'm increasingly, getting this error:
EXTERNAL STORAGE MOVE FAILED

For full description:
https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/issues/6149

@girish Thanks for the quick resolution!

@LoudLemur
i do have 3 of these already implemented in my Cloudron based, Peertube app:

1. Object storage for the videos - so that videos are stored on object storage

2. video runner - so that you can make use of a high powered gpu for e.g. transcoding

3. Matomo - Setup analytics using matomo

What's the optimum way to manage the data (app code + uploaded files) and backups (of the app code)?

Currently, i've set the app to use an external Volume as the primary 'Data Directory'.

But, as the Data Directory also includes the uploaded files (which could be hundreds of GBs), it does seem prudent to have the uploaded files stored in a non-regular-backup location.
Initially, I did try mounting a volume and configuring the immich.json, but that didn't seem to work.

immich.json ->

{
"UPLOAD_LOCATION":"/media/<volume name>/data/immich_files",
"THUMB_LOCATION":"/media/<volume name>/data/thumbs",
"ENCODED_VIDEO_LOCATION":"/media/<volume name>/data/encoded-video",
"PROFILE_LOCATION":"/media/<volume name>/data/profile"
}

Error log ->

WARN [Api:DuplicateService] Unknown keys found: { "UPLOAD_LOCATION": "/media/<volume name>/data/immich_files", "THUMB_LOCATION": "/media/<volume name>/data/thumbs", "ENCODED_VIDEO_LOCATION": "/media/<volume name>/data/encoded-video", "PROFILE_LOCATION": "/media/<volume name>/data/profile" }

I have Humhub and Etherpad instances, both on the same Cloudron.

Have configured Etherpad module within Humhub, as per the instructions given here:
https://marketplace.humhub.com/module/notes/installation

The connection is successful:

But, when i do try to edit a Note in the Notes (Etherpad) module, i get the error:
<my-cloudron-domain> refused to connect.

Dev tools error:
Refused to frame '<my-cloudron-domain>' because an ancestor violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "frame-ancestors 'none'".

I tried configuring the Content Security Policy property for both, Humhub and Etherpad, to include frame-ancestors 'self' <other relevant domains>,
but am still getting the same error.

How to resolve this?
