Cloudron Forum

I've tried for a while to get a good UK based VPS as I moved away from Bytemark a while ago and haven't found anything as good. I'd love to go with Mythic Beasts but they aren't competitive. I use Hetzner right now but there was doubting voices about them on Mastodon a couple of months back when they failed to stop some abuse, not sure what was exactly going on there.

Just doing a local build of your repo (outside of Cloudron) and modifying your start.sh so that output is done to the container, it reports as running on port 8000 (on localhost, but also globally). /healtcheck does not seem to exist (gives a 404), but / gives a 200 for me. On the browser however it just loads endlessly.

Looking at the devtools on Chrome it tries to load a service worker (worker.js) which only gives a 404, but would anyways need https to function properly.

@fbartels thanks for the clarification 👍

Thank you @fbartels

You get access to docker. There is an env var injected into the app. See https://docs.cloudron.io/packaging/addons/#docker .

Generally, don't use it. If you are using it, it means you are trying to access docker which is a bit of security hole. This was created mostly out of necessity and maybe for "playing" . But once you give an app access to docker, it can pretty much do anything on host.

@timconsidine since the difference is mostly the postgresql fixes, it might be worth updating already in your case.

I should add, the worst annoying problem I've had have been poor BlueTooth performance. But to be fair it's gotten a lot better over time and I think at least part of the issue is my hardware, not the software.

There was also a foollshly planned roll out of their actually pretty cool Advanced Privacy features: when they first push the update it was all turned on by default, including the spoofing of location and IP address, which made loads of apps (like maps, both others too) just not work because they were being blocked by the new Advanced Privacy features.

Again for usability, I actually turn quite a few of their Advanced Privacy features off because too many things just don't work if you have them on (e.g. unfortunately for one of my contracts with a Charity I do some work for I need to use Outlook and it just wasn't working because all M$ servers were automatically being blocked - but it was OK once I whitelisted the necessary ones).

@timconsidine yeah, I think TTS is a functionality of the desktop app.

I found this existing feature request in calibreweb issue tracker - https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web/issues/2897

I see what you mean, but it still helps you to budget by showing what you've spent/ spend money on over a defined period.

Thanks for answering, you made my day.

Grrrr
Why don't people update their docs !
The binding for Blink listed in the Openhab is old and doesn't work.
Need a new version and needs to be installed manually into /app/data/addons
Link (as of now) : https://drive.google.com/file/d/19rj6ZSfHHv_Ly6_A_pb0LjzsrS-g6YSb/view?usp=sharing
And the verificationURL now shows but it is slightly different to the docs - should be
https:/openhab.domain.tld/blink/xxxxx where xxxx is just the hex string not the full blink:account:xxxxxx
Now the binding is online and I'll see if it works with detecting cameras and doing something useful.
Ugh.

@jdaviescoates yes, that's my understanding. setting it all to 50% means you are not giving any app any "preference".

@LoudLemur I will take a look at Apache Charts, but not really into it, and it might not be within scope of "really simple form" app.

Directus might also be able to store file uploads - haven't checked - but I am not a fan of files in database storage.

@necrevistonnezr THAT is pretty cool. I need to hit those hills more.

@luckow you're entirely right

But I am looking for something lightweight.

I could not find one, so I built one :

Hope it helps someone else.

I was getting this. The default memory setting was not enough. Increased to 6gb, and it runs like a BMW.

Posted an issue for this in upstream repo.

understood 👍

Well the error is right, if you don’t have either of them then you can’t have admin privileges. If you set up a correct password you may be missing 2FA or the other way around, so it is an “or” 😄

Closing a loop ...
The oldest version of LAMP here runs PHP 7.4
The site with old software is running PHP 7.0
I was not sure whether 7.4 is old enough, or whether the backup/migrate would fail on that version difference also.
Not wanting to waste time going down unproductive paths, I deployed a docker container running Wordpress and PHP 7.0 and I've managed to get a restore from the AWS site running.
Now in process of upgrading PHP so I can then backup/restore to a Cloudron WP Developer with current software versions.

Thank you for your suggestions - got me going in the right direction.
