RE: Plex Media Server
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?

RE: Cloudron overrides iptables-persistent
@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

RE: Cloudron overrides iptables-persistent
I came to think about something like this:
- Run a script that monitors when cloudron is finished loading, and finished configuring iptables (after each restart/bootup)
- Then, when cloudron is complete restarted, script insert the needed custom iptables entries, and then run iptables-persistent.
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?

Cloudron overrides iptables-persistent
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?

RE: Test installation refuse to install apps
@nebulon Thanks a lot. NextCloud app installed. Now continue testing

RE: Test installation refuse to install apps
@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.

RE: Test installation refuse to install apps
@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?

Test installation refuse to install apps
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?

Home Server PTR Record?
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?

RE: Can Cloudron NextCloud use local external RAID1 storage?
@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

RE: Can Cloudron NextCloud use local external RAID1 storage?
@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?

RE: Can Cloudron NextCloud use local external RAID1 storage?
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

Can Cloudron NextCloud use local external RAID1 storage?
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.

RE: TLS 1.1 protocol?
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
-
RE: TLS 1.1 protocol?
I managed to get a screenshot of the SSL error from one of the troubled mobile apps when connecting to my cloudron.

RE: TLS 1.1 protocol?
@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?

TLS 1.1 protocol?
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.
