Interview

My Cloudron server should store it's backup on a Raspberry Pi running offsite on a different place than the server. I've tried to do this with Minio running on the Raspberry Pi via a Wireguard VPN. While this basically works for a small amount of data, this doesn't work with a huge amount of data (currently ~1TB). The Minio server uses all available resources on the Raspberry Pi and Cloudron stops after 4h, stating the backup takes too long. I've also tried to increase this timeout by fiddling around in the code, but even after many hours the backup doesn't finish. The connection between the Cloudron server and the backup target has 1 Gbit/s, so bandwith is definitively enough.

I did some experiments with Restic and Minio, but the initial backup didn't finish after 8h waiting. So I decided to give Restic rest server a try, this worked much better and also caused much less load on the Raspberry Pi.

Feature request: Please integrate Restic as the backup tool into Cloudron. It has a huge user base and supports a lot of backends, no backend would have to be integrated manually into Cloudron again.

Thanks for considering this suggestion.

I would love to see this app on Cloudron. As of this reply, the project seems to be in an intact and active state.

@girish do you have any plans to provide 1.9 soon?

UMap would be fantastic to see!

I moved from Gitea to Forgejo some time ago (https://www.tobru.ch/migrating-from-gitea-to-forgejo/) and don't look back. It would be fantastic to see Forgejo in Cloudron (maybe even move from Gitea to Forgejo so that not both have to be maintained?)

Lychee is still at version 3.1.6 at the time of this writing. The current version is 3.2.8, see GitHub releases. Please note that Lychee has moved from electerious/Lychee to LycheeOrg/Lychee:

README:

Since the 1st of April 2018 this project has moved to it's own Organisation (https://github.com/LycheeOrg) where people are able to submit their fixes to it. We, the Organisation owners, want to thank electerious (Tobias Reich) for the opportunity to make this project live on.

I would love to see Lychee updated regularly, like the other apps on Cloudron...

Yes, it worked. Unfortunately I did no document every step in detail, there were many steps involved. Here are they key steps, it's not a list which can be followed step-by-step, one has to figure out the details by himself:

• Export DB from old installation (mine was MariaDB)
• Start a temporary DB server on the Cloudron server and import the DB, something like:

docker run -d --name=mariadb -v mariadb-temp:/var/lib/mysql -v /tmp/dump:/data -p 3308:3306 -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=password --network=cloudron mariadb:10.1

• Login to your Nextcloud container:

cloudron exec --app files.example.com -t bash

• Update the Nextcloud configuration to point to this temporary DB server and have the exact same version as the old installation. Example (replace values with the ones of your installation):

...
  'dbtype' => 'mysql',
  'version' => '13.0.0.14',
  'dbname' => 'nextcloud',
  'dbhost' => '172.18.0.10',
  'dbport' => '3306',
  'dbtableprefix' => 'oc_',
  'dbuser' => 'root',
  'dbpassword' => 'password',
...

• Run migration:

sudo -u www-data php occ db:convert-type --clear-schema --all-apps --password ${POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD} pgsql ${POSTGRESQL_USERNAME} ${POSTGRESQL_HOST} ${POSTGRESQL_DATABASE}
sudo -u www-data php occ upgrade

• Move your data from the old to the new Cloudron server
• Remove temporary DB server and it's data

It's not very straight forward, but definitively doable.
