Thank you very much for resolving the issue. I would love to understand what i did wrong.

I tried deleting the nginx.conf and certs and let them be regenerated as you have described in other threads. Yet I did not manage to get nginx back up and running. Are there additional steps besides deleting cofings, restarting box, nginx and unbound?

Muchas Gracias for saving the day!

Now that Castopod has reached v 1.0 can we have it on Cloudron? That would be excellent. I wish I could help but I am not a programmer.

Alternatively, people who installed Castopod on LAMP-stack, is anyone willing to write a short tutorial?

Thanks, it works.

@nebulon So throwing off the unused linux images and restarting unbound helped. Consider it solved. Thank you.

Solution:

./bin/tootctl media remove

has an option

--days

which defaults to 7 days of not set.

Our instance is only 3 days old. Since i did not set the flag it defaulted to 7 days.
The system did everything right. There were no files as old or older than 7 days. Accordingly it did not delete anything. Computer smart.

I was able to delete the cached media files.

@jdaviescoates I had this thought. I consulted other Mastodon admins. They say, they can delete everything. This should not occur.

In a non-Docker installation it is apparently found under

config/settings.yml

and should look like this:

reserved_usernames:
  - admin
  - support
  - help
  - root
  - webmaster
  - administrator
  - mod
  - moderator

It would be good if admins were able to control this list.

@nebulon Thanks! If that´s the case, we will be patient and wait for it to find its way upstream.

So a server ran out of memory because backups were made locally and I haven´t notice until it was too late.
Real quick, what i have done already:

1. logged in via SFTP and deleted all local backups
2. restarted server

systemctl status box

4. as expected. some nginx trouble was there. From earlier recoveries I knew to delete all .conf files under /home/yellowtent/platformdata/nginx/applications/

5. folled by systemctl restart box and /home/yellowtent/box/setup/start.sh

6. At this point I would expect the certs to be invalid but the dashboard rechable again.

This is where I am stuck. The dashboard would not appear. Neither under the dashboard address nor under the IP-address.

I am out of ideas now. What can i do?

Thanks, it works.

@girish OK, I am restarting the restore process with 4GB. Thank you.

@girish Thanks. Postgresql has 768MB memory limit, shall i increase it temporarily to more?

@girish It is Mastodon. Cloudron version of the app is v1.8.3.

Which service is it? mongodb?

I had to restore an app from a backup. The backup was transferred successfully from the backup volume. Now I am stuck for quite a while at "Restoring addons". I don´t know if I should just wait longer or try again.

The app log does not show any new information.

What to do?
