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....
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?
Hi
I try to restore a backed up cloudron (upgraded server OS), but setup the wrong cloudron version on my new server. Need to revert to older cloudron version that corresponds with the backup version.
Is there a way to force cloudron to revert to an earlier version, or do I simply need to uninstall the cloudron and install the correct version?
What is the best way to do it? Is there a working command for "uninstall cloudron", or do I have to reinstall the whole server OS and start over again?
Thanks
@girish said in New installation, not able to log in:
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 
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
@robi I am using it on the dashboard (main) domain, on a subdomain
@rmdes I chose to have the app have its own usermanagement, so LDAP should not be involved?
@robi Yes
Tried now using a different subdomain, still same problem.
I have tried using Chrome, Firefox and Brave browser. No login
Thank you, I have tried reinstalling, but problem persist. Still not able to login using "root" and "changeme".
Hi, and thanks for helping

Hi
Just installed PeerTube, and tried to log in as per "First Time Setup" instructions
username: root
password: changeme
But it says: "incorrect username or password"
Anyone experienced this, and know what to do?
EDIT: Sorry! Taking question elsewhere as it was not actually on topic. Sorry again.
I just played a little with installing Plex. I see it like to create some media directories in /opt/something and copy all the mediafiles there.
I want my media to stay where it is, and not be copied or moved anywhere else. If copied it will double my 600GB media to a total of 1200GB.
Maybe Plex is not for me. Or is there some other way to have Plex serve media from their current location, without copying or moving it?
@tadeas Hi, could this be something useful? https://cloudron.io/documentation/storage/#move-the-data-directory-to-another-location
@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
I came to think about something like this:
There are probably much better ways to do it, but at least I am trying to think out a possible solution. But how to code that script and get it to do the stuff I want? Anyone able to help?
Hi all
I need to have a few extra ports open on my home theater computer, which has cloudron installed as the "brain" for web-apps (nextcloud).
(So far I could not detect any conflict between cloudron and the other extra serverapps that is in need of these ekstra open ports (Virtualbox and its VM's))
I have added these ekstra ports in iptables and saved the configuration with iptables-persistent
But when server/cloudron is restarted, cloudron overrides my iptables-persistent settings and clean out my extra iptablerules.
How can I get cloudron to respect my extra iptables rules, and not wipe them every reboot/restart?
@nebulon Thanks a lot. NextCloud app installed. Now continue testing
@nebulon OK, new installation tested. Fresh Ubuntu 18.04 server Virtualbox clone, then installed fresh Cloudron. Cloudron ID is exactly the same id as previous installation (d781350d-8cc0-4d73-85a6-5214430500b8)
I did not change any VirtualBox "hardware" settings. Maybe I should try again, different RAM and different HD size?
BTW, all test installations have been configured for the same domain. Dont' know if that has anything to do with creating this odd problem?
Maybe I could have avoided these problems if I had uninstalled the installed apps in the first cloudron, before I deleted it. But main problem would still be there, then maybe for others to discover.
@nebulon These testinstallations are fresh. I have a Virtualbox Ubuntu18.04 clean server guest OS, which I clone when I need it, and then - after the cloning process - install a fresh Cloudron on it. When something goes wrong, I delete the guest OS, start a new clone, and do again a fresh installation of Cloudron. So I can not see how they should get the same cloudron id?
I'll make a note of the current cloudron id, and then do a fresh install, and then we see if it gets the same id as the previous one. I'll report back when done.
What conditions generate the Cloudron ID? Is it the hardware setup? If so the hardware setup are the same for each VBox server. Maybe I need to slightly alter the harddrive size for each new testinstallation?
I am testing some server configurations with cloudron, make some errors, have to reinstall and repeat the process until I am satisfied with my setup.
In the last reinstallation Cloudron refuse to let me install any apps, saying:
Subscription required
The free plan only allows 2 apps. Please sign up for a paid plan to install more apps.
As I have reinstalled the server and installed a new cloudron, there are no apps installed in this cloudron, so there must be some error in your system that for some strange reason still see the apps installed in previous installations, and count those towards the 2 app free limit.
This make it difficult to do developer testing before installing a production system.
Can you please take a look at this problem?
Hi all
I tried a generic cloudron install on a Virtualbox guest OS on my home computer, just for testing. DO as domain provider, DNS API configured and cloudron up and running. Tried to activate email, but cloudron complain about PTR record, as it expects "my.domain.tld" but get my internet provider instead in the format of XX-XX-XX-XX.network.internetprovider.tld.
My virtualbox cloudron server is configured with hostname "my.domain.tld"
How do I get/configure correct PTR Record on such an home server internet connection?
@nebulon thank you. just noticed your message the split second I was pushing the submitbutton for my latest comment to jfbartels. Looks like you pointed to the solution. I will test, thank you
@fbartels, thank you
So, I need to figure out the full path to the cloudron NextCloud data storage, which may be
"/rootfilesystem/somedockercontainer-id/app/data
...and mount the local external storage within that "data" folder? Is that possible? Do NextCloud then need to know the full system path for the mounted folder, or is it enough for Nextcloud to just see the mountpoint within docker?
Another option (if at all possible)?
Install separate Nextcloud on the system disk, configured to have /data dir located in /mnt/radi1 (domain1.tld).
Install headless Virtualbox on the system disk to host a cloudron guest OS virtual machine for all the cloudron stuff (domain2.tld).
Have Nginx as reverse proxy in front of the above two?
Yes, I admit....I know very little of this tech stuff, but learn by doing (and asking some questions) when something needs to be done
Hi all
I consider some changes for my home theater family computer, that is installing cloudron on it. The plan is to install Ubuntu 18.04 server (+ Ubuntu desktop to let my family browse internet, view netflix, etc.), and install cloudron mainly to have Nextcloud to sync and host some 800GB family members photo/video-collection and various other files.
In the home theater box the system disk is a 250G HD. In addition I have a 3TB software RAID1 mounted as /mnt/raid1
Is it possible to have the cloudron Nextcloud to "mount" and use this raid1 "local external" storage? Or even better....have the cloudron NextCloud configured to have the main /data directory located in /mnt/raid1?
I know I can do most of this without installing Cloudron, but I would really like to have Cloudron as the main "brain" in this setup, also for the option to use other cloudron apps if needed.
As I have no knowledge of this technology, asking for help is my only option at the moment. Could this FAQ entry from the OpenVPN website be of help to identify the reason for my SSL protocol errors, and how to solve it? http://ics-openvpn.blinkt.de/FAQ.html
I managed to get a screenshot of the SSL error from one of the troubled mobile apps when connecting to my cloudron.
@subven Thank you. I understand your point of view, I am sure it is shared by most, including myself. I just thought it would be a good idea to have the cloudron owner decide this for him/her self, on an app by app basis maybe.
Now I am a bit confused, as I just tried Fennec browser and had no problem connecting to any of my cloudrons apps.
Still Chrome has connection problems, same with Firefox, Nextcloud and Davdroid mobile app has problems, K9 email client can not connect to cloudron to send mail, etc. They all complain about SSL protocol error.
So there may be something else that create the problem, because if the phone does not support TLS 1.2 then Fennec browser should complain about protocol error, but it doesn't.
Anyone have any idea what may be the problem?
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.
Hi
Anyone know if there is any progress making Discourse to run in Cloudron?
@murgero As far as I know, Wordpress does have 2FA when Cloudron is in charge of user management, but I most often let Wordpress have separate user management, as I don't want a bunch of wordpress users having to create cloudron-accounts.
There are other reasons not to use 2FA, and reasons to use it, but that is another discussion.
@girish would it not be better to have the health check point to some other file in wordpress, other than /wp-login.php? As it is now, it actually limits users freedom to chose their own way of protecting their blog.
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.
@fbartels just a heads up. The documentation links on this page is not working: https://cloudron.io/documentation/apps/codimd/
@fbartels Thank you. Looks like I got this working
Hi. Is it possible to have this app use its own user management? I would like to invite people to cooperate creating slides, but it seems they must be a cloudron user to get access. I would rather avoid creating cloudron accounts for these users.
@girish @nebulon Mastodon for Cloudron
Cloudron.io use it, let us have it
Where do the user change their profile/password etc, if they whish/need to?
@girish Tank you. I apologise for my ignorance. I will try the --no-sso part
While cleaning up a number of old cloudrons merging them into one new cloudron (2.1.1) where I try to host several domains, I tried to move the taiga app from old to new cloudron using Cloudron CLI tool. The old Taiga was set to handle its own user management, but when it is moved to the new cloudron it automatically get changed to "Allow all users from this cloudron"
This also happens to other apps (Rocket.Chat, Etherpad, and naked domain Wordpress so far) when moved from one cloudron to another, and is a serious problem. App users that has no user account in Cloudron will not get access to that app any longer, including myself.
