ntfy (pronounce: notify) is a simple HTTP-based pub-sub notification service. It allows you to send notifications to your phone or desktop via scripts from any computer, entirely without signup, cost or setup. It's also open source if you want to run your own.
Really simple notifications for scripts, server status etc.

Good morning
This is a technical issue, not a political post.
I have become stuck in UK and unable to return to family in Ukraine.
Flight pre-planned for Day2 of invasion obviously cancelled.
Internet in Kharkiv breaking down now.
I am doing research on 'offline' comms, maybe some kind of relay or mesh. But time is short and frankly brain is not as clear as it usually is.
So any advice appreciated.
Scenario is I stay here in UK for now, but also interested in scenario of going to Poland and waiting it out there. So maybe no internet there other than mobile phone.
As I said, tech query not political, but please forgive me a quick 'Slava Ukraini'.
@girish : it will for sure be impossible to persuade others to do it the Cloudron way, so the problem has to be addressed.
Personally I feel the Cloudron stability and reliability is SO IMPORTANT that it must be preserved and it is the priority. If it is impossible to find a solution, we have to accept a situation like "sorry, this XXX app is such a mess, it is not possible to make it comply with Cloudron standards, and even though it is good functionality, and we could possibly package it, we're not going to. Because it's a mess."
While I don't have a technical solution approach to the problem, I think it's almost inevitable that we end up with another status of apps :
Not ideal, but better than lowering Cloudron standards. Would rather accept not having XXX app in the store.
While trying to resolve some backup issues, I wondered if it might be possible in future Cloudron release to have backup policies per app.
Some apps need backing up daily but some might only need weekly or monthly. Currently backup configuration is set globally for the instance.
Just to add context to my comment :
I have 45 apps running on my Cloudron (I am sure others have even more).
<5 minute installs vs 2-3 hours 'conventionally' : 45 times. That's a lot of time and grey hair saved.
Normally I would need multiple servers to run that for segregation, so the Cloudron monthly-equiv fee is off-set by saving on multiple VPS.
I totally get that non-profits have a duty and a need to keep costs down.
But that's exactly what Cloudron does.
Cloudron is truly cost-effective and cost-minimising.
Cloudron is the only tech cost that I'm genuinely happy to carry.
And they stand out a mile vs the rest of the industry in terms of quality, kind and constructive support.
But @girish and @nebulon : that doesn't mean you can increase the price !!

Nice little app
Picking up on comments in other threads, I'm thinking to start a wiki that can provide some entry-level guidance.
This will not (must not) replace official packaging documents.
Rather it can be an entry to the official docs for those who read them and don't know how to start, plus tips examples etc.
So I'm curious :

Live your data-life pro-actively instead of re-actively.
I use this app on CapRover and it works nicely.
Would be nice to have on Cloudron, although I accept not life-changing.
And I think there are various systems like this : I don't how this ChangeDetection.io compares. I just like the ease of use and UI.
Dockerfile available in their repo.
I made an attempt at self-packaging, but getting some errors, which I am investigating.
@humptydumpty good actions, and understandable concern.
I've had it happen a couple of times, and I wasn't able to understand it at all. So be kind to yourself. It may just be a hack in the dark, your contabo debit is probably a standard amount for users. Good to search for reasons, but be prepared for it to be a mystery.
The little I know about it, it's often data from multiple sources and a huge amount of 'try it and see' from the perpetrators. Bit like phishing emails, they know 99.999% will fail, they just hope and wait for the 0.001% which works by some strange luck on their side.
@humptydumpty what a pain - at least they stopped it - phew.
@burrito what are you using to arrange the 2 networks ?
firewall ?
managed switch ?
VLAN on either ?
I'm no expert, about to try setting up similar myself.
I think someone who can answer will likely want to know how you are creating and managing the 2 networks.
@LoudLemur Understand the motivation and also the usefulness in certain use cases.
But (repeating another comment elsewhere) I like that Cubby is separate and reduces/eliminates any risk of "link bleeding" or hijacking of links.
I guess that if integration is implemented, it could just be disabled.
At least that is what I would request.
In that way its standalone / segregated implementation can be retained.
@LoudLemur I use it as an easy shared file store.
Other systems (Nextcloud, Seafile) can of course do the same.
But I like the fact that it is lightweight (vs Nextcloud) and segregated (minimises exposing main file store in e.g. Nextcloud or Syncthing or Seafile) and it's easy to create links for sharing to customers, suppliers, colleagues without creating logins for people.
@fbartels kasm is similar in that regard.
You can set up persistence of data, but installing of new software is a problem.
@dylightful possibly the low vote apps don't have the complexity of integration into the Cloudron 'opinionated' environment. But I don't know really.
@Mastadamus thank you
Not currently expecting to route between the VLANs but will bear this in mind.
I have also used Netcup and while their UI isn't great, it works.
Their VPS pricing isn't bad (better than Linode, Digital Ocean etc), but their storage seems expensive compared to a Hetzner storage box.
I have other VPS from SSDNODES where performance is not critical.
I host a Seafile server there for cloud docs storage, I find it better than Nextcloud. I would not use SSDNODES for Cloudron (I tried but they are not good for heavier usage) although the Seafile VPS performs well enough.
