@joseph said in Mastodon migration:

what you mean

Lemmy, Iceshrimp, OSSN, other software options

@ccfu said in seeking server set up advice:

intuitive

I like that, thank you

@ccfu said in seeking server set up advice:

Hetzner

I just gave them a serious look and impressed with what I seen, will be looking again tomorrow, thanks again

@bazinga said in SendGrid is over, what to use instead?:

Why are you paying for it

When I started my Discourse instance I used the invite option, sent a lot of emails and maxed the free tier out, guess I should look into downgrading to save some cash now so good question

@bazinga said in SendGrid is over, what to use instead?:

"External SMTP Server" option in Cloudron

I'm not yet using Cloudron for my Discourse, only tested the free tier for Mastodon and other apps

@jdaviescoates said in seeking server set up advice:

Have a read of the docs.

@ccfu said in seeking server set up advice:

The documentation has the answers to many of your questions.

I only ever installed then opened the app, which provided a log-in dialog I "assumed" my Cloudron user should be able to log into, then I "assumed" I'd be able to create user accounts, IMO that's the intuitive approach, I never looked for any docs so if somehow I need to create a user account first, well.

@ccfu said in seeking server set up advice:

make sure that your server provider does not block port 25

I'll keep that in mind before selecting one, been a crazy hunt, but good to know:

@ccfu said in seeking server set up advice:

Cloudron can be used to send emails for the apps installed on it

thank you

Watching this, I set up a test Mastodon using Cloudron, works great compared to online tutorials I tried, but I plan to switch servers soon.

Now if only Cloudron would add other federation options yunohost has

I pay 9.00 a month for

https://www.brevo.com

for transactional, been happy with it, lots of add on upgrades available too

But I think Coudrons built in email will provide transactional emails and therefore may be worth subscribing to, "if" I'm correct, need that verified.

@ccfu said in seeking server set up advice:

the email account you are trying to log in to

How's that done when it's a new install and no accounts are created?

I would like to try that email out but haven't yet been in it.

And if I subscribe the email Cloudron provides can act as a transactional provider for Discourse right?

That saves me money too, puts points towards selecting Cloudron.

@ccfu said in seeking server set up advice:

Try it and see

I've not played with Visualizer yet, but it "might" help with my aVideo needs too, at a minimum allow me to spin up a new VM, I don't know what LAMP is or how it might help run aVideo

I feel I'm getting closer and appreciate the replies.

SOGo

I just reinstalled as it's been awhile and I wasn't sure, I can't log-in, just loops "Wrong username or password."

That was set with any cloudron user. Unable to fix so I moved on

@james said in seeking server set up advice:

SnappyMail

Same, except "Can't connect to server Server message: Can't connect to host "tcp://localhost:143""

so again, moved on, I find these things often on panels I've tried, Softaculous was horrible for it

I was sampling different sftware options and errors typically just prompted me to keep searching rather than seek support help, didn't want to waste anyone's time while researching solutions I wasn't tied to, but, I am at a point where decisions need to be made and cloudron has made a good impression.

@james said in seeking server set up advice:

You can view Cloudron like Ubuntu or Debian

I don't understand how as it's on top of Ubuntu 24

So can cloudron be used on VM's created by virtualizor?

Hello James thanks for the reply, I'm already using Cloudron and thinking of subscribing past the free tier but don't see how it will fulfill my needs.

My dilemma in part is being financially challenged, so I want to eliminated the need for additional software.

Cloudron beat two other wordpress installers I tried with cPanel hands down, so I'd rather put monthly subscriptions in Cloudron than cPanel based on that.

But cPanel allowed me to set up email (roundcube) for users easily, I was not able to do that in Cloudron.

From there neither offer a simple aVideo solution

You mention peertube, I gave it a try, it has nowhere near the features of aVideo but despite that I could not make it custom to suit.

Standard categories being the big obstacle, without more customization options I decided to pass on that.

Primary example, firearms best fits sports category but the rest of sports don't fit in with firearms, so a firearms category is needed, how do you federate custom categories?

So, I'm still looking at Cloudpanel and other options, but even if free is found simple is preferred, I don't even know if I can mix Cloudron with another panel?

Paid Cloudron seems to be able to eliminate my need for a transactional email provider so that will save some money.

I just don't yet see a clear solution.

TY

I recently discovered cloudron and find it so far agreeable but not all inclusive to what I'm seeking.

I'm hoping to share what I'm looking for and get advice.

I'm looking to rent a server and run Discourse, Wordpress , aVideo and need to be able to create email accounts for users to log into from assorted domains.

Doesn't seem cloudron can do all that alone and some type of panel is needed, plesk, easypanel etc

Am I wrong?

None of this is set up, I have hosting on different servers now and looking to get a dedicated server, maybe be able to add VM's or just dockers, again, need advice if possible.

I don't know much of anything related to hosting, I've been just getting by using apps like digital ocean and ssh in to do whatever is needed but now find the need to add accounts for others and keep the costs contained and operation simple as much as possible, likely those I'm helping will need help and I need to be able to when that comes up.

Thanks in advance

Hello all

I was specifically searching both yunohost and cloudron for ways to add avideo and came across a thread here, then another, seems it's been requested a few times.

https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo

A couple of questions I had seen from others was for an example site

Here's mine though it may be down at some point as I need to move it which is part of why I'm searching

https://firearm-videos.sixguns.com

and I seen where it was asked why not peer tube.

I'd love to use peertube due to the federation but did not find it customizable enough to suit.

Perhaps I could more time into it, and may, but for now I have aVideo and it does have a ton of available apps.

What would it take to get this added here?
