Cloudron Forum

I want to get Neuvector installed for security.

It should be able to install through Docker, but I wanted to see if anybody else has tried it. If there were any issues or if you had any tips.

Thanks,

Keith

@girish said in smtp mailer config lost after restore from backup:

env | grep SMTP_PASSWORD

You rock!!! I'll try to reactivate SMTP Mailer later and see if using that password makes a difference. Regardless that's good info to have. Thanks.

My workflow:

• Customer wants me to host a website. Usually, it's hosted somewhere else or they have a backup file they send me.
• Create new Cloudron Wordpress site.
• Install whatever Wordpress backup/restore tool the client previously used.
• Import the backup into the new Cloudron Wordpress site.

So when that happens, it overwrites all the users, adds plugins, deactivates any plugin (like SMTP Mailer) that wasn't used by the original site, adds all the content, etc.

It's after that SMTP Mailer just won't work. I'll "activate" it after a backup import, but it won't work. Same if I delete, restart and activate it again. Same if I change outbound to use relay.

UPDATE: I tried removing the plugin and restarting the container. It loads SMTP Mailer and puts in settings. But still, nothing sends mail.

I also tried changing the container outbound SMTP to use mail relay with Mailgun. Restarted container. Still won't send.

I ended up deactivating SMTP Mailer, installing WP Mail SMTP, put in the same mailgun settings and it all worked.

Would still like to find a better way than just using another plugin.

@subven That's my plan C if there isn't an easier way. Plan B is a different plugin and Mailgun. I'd prefer to use the default smtp mailer with the default account settings or figure out how to capture it's password in the future before I restore from backup.

I seem to be doing a lot of these. Where I need to import a site from somewhere from a backup with various WP backup plugins/formats and get it running. Mail is always my stopping point. So I'd like to figure out a better workflow. Easiest way to get mail out with the least amount of steps after a backup import.

SMTP Mailer quits working after I import a Wordpress site from backup. Meaning email stops working. The backups re-do all the themes, plugins, users, etc so SMTP Mailer usually gets deactivated or removed.

Before I do a site restore, I get all the SMTP Mailer settings. Except for password, I don't know how to get it or if one is even used.

I've tried putting all the settings in after installing SMTP Mailer on the restored sites. But I think it's the password that isn't working since I don't know it or how to get it.

Does anyone know how to get that default SMTP credentials password or how I can get SMTP mailer to work?

Thanks,

Moving to a K8s is hard for sure, simple things get more complex. But I think that's the best long term and where I see things going at large. Maybe setting it up as a single-node k8s would be easier initially?

If Cloudrun was set up to run as a single or multi-node Kubernetes (k3s/rke) cluster it opens the door to tons of cool stuff. You could for example use Rancher/Fleet to manage all your Cloudron/K8s migrations, monitoring, security, etc.

I use Rancher/k8s for multi-node / multi-cluster stuff and Cloudron for single system. Rancher connecting to a k8s version of Cloudrun would be the pie in the sky for me.

Ok I'm sold. I love the hell out of Cloudron. I've got a production server running a few things and I love it.

Next step, I've got a ton of VM's running various numbers of virtualhosts. I'd like to migrate them to a cloudron system with as little interruption as possible. The majority are Wordpress or Nextcloud. So any helps or suggestions on the best steps to do that?

My worries:

• Cloudron annoys the hell out of me if I/Cloudron doesn't control the DNS. Please allow me to make it stop.
• Nextcloud limitations. There doesn't seem to be a nextcloud-dev version that lets me have plugins and do custom stuff without a ton of steps.

Love your work, making containers easier is awesome.

This should be a easy one to add. It's a simple PHP/MySQL app. I'd love to see this added.

I would love to see FreePBX on Cloudron.
