Fine - live in your own world then.

I tried but some people can't read the room

@timconsidine said in Self-hosted VPN server made EASY!:

I am using self-hosted Netbird (deployed on a VPS)
It works great !!
"unifies" devices across different networks and locations
Personally I find it easier than Cloudron VPN, but maybe I should review the Cloudron offering again

In what world is Netbird easier to set up than the Cloudron VPN?

That comment seems bizarre to me. Makes me wanna say:

Kindly don't hijack my thread here for "ads" (I know it's not but seems like it) and/or dev circle jerks.

Feel free to open your own thread on the matter.
This is my feedback, not asking for opinions

Also End-to-End encrption is officially DEAD with the new so-called "AI assistants" that are now running on people's devices. There's just no point in pretending it's not.

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.

@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)

@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.

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.

@joseph said in Making sense of app categories?:

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

See, I knew there was weed involved!

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

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.

Check if Redis is running at my.cloudron.tld/#/services

That's what that should look like:

@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.

@girish As an adult, you should be able to deal with "strong" language (which I have honestly not even started using). Sometimes the expression of frustration says more than uploading one's logs for the hundredth time...

@jdaviescoates If by "my systems" you mean the Hetzner Cloud and S3 Buckets then yeah, sure.

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.

You have my vote.

@nebulon said in Mark Change Detection app as unstable?:

Of course if it turns out the app is overall entering some instable state as to not be useful anymore for longer, then I guess instead we should maybe remove the package itself.

I'll just reinstall the app and allow Cloudron users this time. That should prevent the issue from even happening again. No idea why my password stopped working all of a sudden btw, I have'em saved in KeePass...

There should be a note added to this app that if provisioned without user managemend by Cloudron, there's no sane way to reset one's password. That in itself is incredible. Such a good app, such a dumb decision.

Anyway thanks for chipping in and confirming it was indeed not working right. I was starting to bang my head against the wall here.

Yes, the behaviour is exactly the same on there.

Steps to recreate:

Install app, leave user management to the app
Login to default admin account
Change admin username and pass (login works, tested)
Add credentials on the env.sh file
Restart the app
No users are being changed or added at all.

However here I'm noticing the following notice in the listmonk settings page now (because here I can actually login, as opposed to my actual site:

"Remove the admin_username and admin_password fields from the TOML configuration file or environment variables. If you are using APIs, create and use new API credentials before removing them. Visit Admin -> Settings -> Users dashboard. Learn more."

Removing the credentials from the env.sh file does not remove this notice btw. (seems to refer to a different config)

Yes, I know that but I'm sure you can see how the documentation is wrong, the forum mentions another thing and when presented with the actual file, yet another case emerges.

At any rate, I really tried ALL combinations here just to be sure. I even tried simple passwords without special characters to see if they break the line but that doesn't seem to be the case either.
