Cloudron Forum

Hi all,

Gotta leave some feedback on this, since I've been through the whole nine yards of self-hosted VPN setups recently. Ranging from OpenVPN and Wireguard, all the way to Netbird... all probably great for enterprise use cases but for yours truly? Overkill!

THIS APP puts them all in a sack! Couldn't be more straight forward and simple. Absolutely the best way to run a self-hosted VPN server, and it even does Wireguard AND OpenVPN. That's just brilliant.

Alright, that's it. Just needed to say that.

I wanna throw in an idea I just had but I lack the expertise to know if it's feasible:

Would it be at all possible to add an openvpn configuration to the Invidious app? That way one could utilize different IP addresses when required and also keep the IP of the server on which the instance is running hidden from YT/G. Might be worth considering.

I think "people" have a fundamental lack of understanding of what constitutes a "hacking attempt".

Open ports are being probed 24/7 on all online systems. That's just background noise, nothing insecure about it. On the contrary, the fact that they see these attempts means security is WORKING JUST FINE.

I have the same issue. One backup that was done using .tar is not deleting now (5 day overdue on deletion) that I'm using rsync. I've tried reverting settings to but to no avail. The backup in question seems to be MASSIVE too, something's odd about this. Truth be told, I'd appreciate a simple "Delete Backup" option

Come to think of it, this feature may prove to be quite useful in several professional and private applications.

Perhaps it would make sense to store the VPN configs in Cloudron's central network options then and allow to use them or the default server gateway on a per-app basis (in the respective app's settings).

Hi all,

I can't for the life of me figure out why there is a category called "fun", showing just two apps that do not look like they're for fun but for file sharing and collaboration?

That by itself is odd enough but you'd think the app (take File Pizza for example) would also be listed in the appropriate category "File sync" but it ISN'T.

Don't get me wrong, I like a spliff as much as the next dude but this seems a little wonky

@humptydumpty It's probably a good idea to install a second instance for v2 and import one's flows there for testing before doing an upgrade.

NGL, I'd install this within the blink of an eye if it was available on Cloudron

Using Nextcloud Talk everyday without issues.

@andreasdueren Aaah, fantastic! Thank you for sharing this repo. It was literal child's play building the HA server with that.

It was written by a couple of college grads having fun.

See, I knew there was weed involved!

Not an expert on it but this might get you started:

Edit: Sorry, just saw how old this post is...

Don't mind my asking but what speaks against integrating it as a firewall to protect some apps from unauthorized access? It would be a perfect addition to it's functionality if there was say a checkbox in the security tab of other apps that allows one to "require Cloudron VPN to access this app".

I would be fantastic to integrate other apps to "require Cloudron VPN connection" in order to access them. It would solve many of our problems.

@adisonverlice2 said in perpetual licensing:

a perpetual licensing feature meaning you pay once for the subscriptions, and then you never pay again.

That makes no sense whatsoever. The very idea of a subscription is that you pay MORE THAN ONCE. I get that everyone's fed up with everything being a subscription these days (fridges, for crying out loud...) but in the case of actively developed software that model actually makes sense.

What I find quite repulsive though is charging double for monthly subscribers.

Tried this on Yunohost and REALLY liked it. MUCH easier to manage than Invoice Ninja.

If one is to actually look into one's S3 storage one will find a LOT of orphaned backup files that Cloudron allegedly doesn't have anymore. The backup system is DEFUNCT on ALL my installations. So much so, I've simply disabled it.

That would do the trick for most people. In my case, I'm not the one to pay for the licenses, our clients are. Those opting for Cloudron are small clients though because bigger clients tend to go for Proxmox clusters for redundancy and load balancing. As it stands, trying to sell small clients Cloudron is not easy, not fun and not rewarding either.

Using it on all sites with no issues at all.

@andzi4 said in WordPress App Stuck on “Starting” After Migration (Crashing):

After setting everything up, problems started with my plugins.

Please elaborate. What kind of problems did you encounter?

Generally speaking, Cloudron is not the most suitable utility for WP site migrations. Think of it as being the underlying "web hosting" but not the heart of the web application itself. Some people here may disagree but that's how I do it and I never have issues of this nature. Back-up and site migration should be done by a more specialised solution. That way you'll only ever need Cloudron to provide with an EMPTY fresh WP install and THAT it does without any problems ;o)
