@nebulon said in Cloudron overrides iptables-persistent:

iptables-save >/etc/iptables/rules.v4

Thanks @nebulon , that may be the problem, as I initially only ran the command

iptables-save

instead of

iptables-save >/etc/iptables/rules.v4

(I followed this guide: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-make-iptables-rules-persistent-after-reboot-on-linux)

Now the iptables rules (inkl custom rules) persist after reboot, but then again...cloudron has had no reason to do changes.

So I provoked it by installing another app (wordpress-app). A few seconds after installation it said wordpress was running, but I could not access it. A few seconds later I could. So it seems it is working. (Maybe I should have tried another app, with other ports)

@necrevistonnezr maybe you could also benefit from looking at iptables-persistent? https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-make-iptables-rules-persistent-after-reboot-on-linux

Hi all

In wordpress app I use a plugin to hide the login page /wp-admin and /wp-login.php. Accessing these pages will then give the user a 404

BUT, it seems cloudron is sending a form of beacon signal to the wordpress app login page, to figure out if the app is up working or not. As cloudron does not find the login page, it detect it as an error and state in the cloudron admin panel that the app is "Not responding", even though the wordpress app is running fine.

It may look like this also prevents cloudron from creating automatic backups of the app, even if it is configured to do so. Manual backup seems to work though.

echo "changeme" | npm run reset-password -- -u root

Thank you @girish. I actually had a lot running on this cloudron, but could not get PeerTube to work even if I removed several other apps to free up memory.

But the above command for some strange reason fixed it and solved the problem. PeerTube is now working!

Thank you

Oh man, give us JAMS (JAMS - Jami Account Management Server)

Hold on a minute....seems like restore worked well after all....strange thing....I check it out and report back....

Problem solved. I deleted ALL config files and restarted the server.

Hi all

The default character limit for new toots is 500. But I would like to increase that limit for my special instance.

How can I do this? And hopefully make it a permanent change, not overwritten by updates?

Any help?

Hi @girish

I tried installing PeerTube on your demo server, and was able to log in to PeerTube using "root" and "changeme".

Full log from my own installation is sent you at support@cloudron.io

I wonder if it is possible to have the cloudron accept TLS 1.1 protocol?

Reason I ask: It seems that many of the apps on my Android 4.1.2 phone (nextcloud app, chrome browser, firefox etc) are not able to connect to the cloudron apps, as the phone apps complain about an SSL protocol error. I first thought it could be a problem with Letsencrypt certificates, but then I tried my phone apps against other websites that run Letsencrypt and had no problem with it. And at those servers where it worked, these servers had TLS 1.1 enabled.

So, can TLS 1.1 be enabled in cloudron, at least for a test? I am not eager to have to buy a new phone at the moment, as the one I have is still working

EDIT: Seems this also affect my email client (K9), that is able to connect for downloading email, but not able to connect in order to send. It is correctly configured port 587 and STARTTLS

I actually had all this working a few days ago, but I had to reset my phone to factory defaults, and now all these problems arrive.

Problem solved. I deleted ALL config files and restarted the server.

Hi @girish

I have a similar problem (missing certificate so nginx does not start)

root@my:~# journalctl -u nginx -fa
-- Logs begin at Wed 2022-08-03 20:41:55 UTC. --
Aug 03 23:45:02 my nginx[17769]: nginx: [emerg] cannot load certificate key "/home/yellowtent/platformdata/nginx/cert/_.domainnamexxxx.info.key": PEM_read_bio_PrivateKey() failed (SSL: error:0906D06C:PEM routines:PEM_read_bio:no start line:Expecting: ANY PRIVATE KEY)

I find app config files in /home/yellowtent/platformdata/nginx/applications

But the nginx-log messages does not tell what app exactly is creating the problem.

May I delete all config files, or do I have to go "trial and error" with each file to figure it out?

Where do I find the nginx config files for the app relating to the missing certificate?

@nebulon Thank you for having a look at it.

@nebulon said in Increase character limit for toots from 500 to xxxx:

In your case I guess you could fork the mastodon app package and create your own with that patchset.

Holy moly, unknown territory

Hi @nebulon

I am not sure this is directly from upstream docs, but here is one suggestion:

The above article mention these sources:

Re: Graphite stuck starting

Hi all. I have the same problem with graphite stuck starting. I have the same type of log entries to that of @eyecreate , and I have upped the allocated memory, and have tried the @nebulon suggested method of purging graphite database with no luck so far.

What to do?

I had to install 18.04, then install Cloudron 5.5.0, then restore the backed up cloudron, then upgrade it to 6.1.2, then make a backup.
Then destroy the 18.04 and install 20.04 instead, then restore the 6.1.2 backup....puhh. Done, working!

(Could not restore a 26GB Nextcload app, but no problem, had the files backed up locally)

Guess this thread can be marked as solved?

Hold on a minute....seems like restore worked well after all....strange thing....I check it out and report back....

@nebulon

Thank you. I tried using 18.04, installation went well, but when I picked the restore option, filled in the details for downloading my my DO Spaces backup, I tried once and forgot archive encryption key, then filled in the key, but now got error message:

"Already activated. Restore with a fresh Cloudron installation."

Maybe its easier to install a fresh cloudron, and have you guys connect it to the running subscription?

Please advice how to proceed.

Hmm.....

I actually reinstalled the server OS (Ubuntu 20.04) and started all over from scratch.

./cloudron-setup --provider generic --version 5.5.0

Then installation stopped and gave error msg. From /var/log/cloudron-setup.log:

Package mysql-server-5.7 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  mariadb-server-10.3

E: Package 'mysql-server-5.7' has no installation candidate

So, as the cloudron I try to reinstall is a subscription cloudron (paid), but with no critical information stored on it, would it be easier to just install a fresh latest version cloudron, and have you guys (support) change the running subscription so it is connected to this new cloudron ID?
