Cloudron Forum

I had this, it'll likely be plugins, see my post here https://forum.cloudron.io/post/92283

@girish said in WordPress app container stuck on updating from package version 3.7.2 to 3.7.3:

This happens with apps which contains files that change their size when the backup is going on. ... Maybe you have some plugin that writes to somewhere periodically?

Thank you @girish Great advice and just the clue we needed. We figured out what that was, stopped it and then we could take a WP backup manually; and then we were also able to update to the latest packaged WP version 3.8.0

Thank you once again; your prompt help is much appreciated

You can mark this ticket as resolved; cheers! 🙂

@THI_Staff it's not too uncommon an oversight. I made an internal note for dev. Maybe we can notify Cloudron admins if the Domain API keys are not working anymore. We do this check when adding the domain, but maybe we can do this check periodically. This will also catch API key change etc.

@THI_Staff Apologies for a late response on this. I haven't used this yet. I was grandfathered on some free monitoring elsewhere. That being said, some of the delivery reports tell you servers that attempted to send email on your behalf. That has helped me resolve some delivery issues where others were sending legitimate emails, but using one of our email addresses instead of theirs. That tripped a DMARC fail. I would start their service without and then see if you want more.

@girish Yes, all sorted, thank you for asking.

Thanks to @robi's suggestion all we needed to do was the following:

in terminal window for our WordPress app, at /app/code/wp-content/uploads we created a symlink (ln -s /media/ovitest ovitest) and then updated its permissions, just in case (chown -R www-data:www-data ovitest) then we could access the mp4 at https://<our_web_domain>/wp-content/uploads/ovitest/Red-cloud.mp4

Thank you very much all; we did enjoy finding the fix in the end. 🙂 And of course we will make good use of it as we can now keep 10-20 GB of data, or even more, outside the WordPress data container, so out of the backup, but still reference this content on our website, which is great.
