@girish Yes, the "." at the end of the domain name is what caused me trouble today. Thanks!

And, if I can be nitpicky, changing "Setup" to "Set up" or just "Set" is preferable. (Setup is a noun.)

Note to self:
Emptying the footer did not work for me: the result was "2022 Cloudron Forum".
I used

Cloudron version %VERSION% | 
<a href="https://forum.cloudron.io" rel="noopener noreferrer" 
target="_blank">Forum <i class="fa fa-comments"></i></a>

I got the command from https://docs.cloudron.io/branding/#footer .

I entered "Cloudron" into the search box at Upwork. It returned no results.

Are you available to help me understand some things about server performance and set up a Discourse forum? Cloudron is easy, but not quite easy enough for me yet. ; )

I have two apps installed: Nextcloud and Discourse. My Cloudron Docker images size is 7.68 GB. Does this sound correct?

My Nextcloud instance says it is using 1.7 GB, on the settings page. Cloudron System Info says it is using 6.92 GB. Is this due to Nextcloud system files that take 4 GB? If not, what is this discrepancy due to?

I have two folders in /var/backups/: 2022-07-04-100002-560/ and snapshot/ . snapshot/ contains the same recent files (mainly the Nextcloud backup) as 2022-07-04-100002-560/ plus a small backup of the Discourse app, whose backups I disabled several months ago. Do I need both folders? If not, which one should I remove, and how do I prevent it from being regenerated?

The size of my /var/backups/ folder is 12.5 GB. Cloudron System Info states 14.56 GB. What accounts for this difference?

The link to "setup an email relay" under Required ports links to https://docs.cloudron.io/email/#relaying-outbound-mails , but the correct link is https://docs.cloudron.io/email/#relay-outbound-mails .

@murgero @girish
I think I figured it out: I suspect that I changed root's username soon after install, then forgot about it, or did not realize that I did so. I am not sure what happened with the password either, but what I had wasn't working. So I was able to change the email address associated with the (renamed) root account. Then I had to wait a couple days to get a new password while time4vps's occasionally available support opened port 25. It's set up correctly now.

Now that I mentioned it, I will state for the record that time4vps's support is NOT 24/7 like they so proudly state on their homepage. Their hours are GMT +3:
weekdays: 8:30 till 21:30
weekends: 10:00 till 16:30
So if you are on the West Coast of the US you can get support until 11:30 am on weekdays and until 6:30 am on weekends.

@ianhyzy said in Cloudron expert for hire?:

just send me an email at ian@conjecturaltechnologies.xyz

Done.

@murgero I clicked the "Skip the password; email me a login link" link after entering root as the username. I got the error "No account matches the username root".

@girish Am I not logged in as root in Discourse automatically when I click on the terminal icon on the Cloudron app page?

Does the terminal prompt not show that I am logged in as root, i.e. the root in root@5dfbf59d-2d3e-45f8-b95f-42ff675cdeea:/app/code#?

How do I log in as root? su? su root?

@girish Yes, I checked the equal sign that I originally pasted. Then I tried again typing everything out just to be sure.

Well, as a first screening question I can ask if you upvoted either of the first two responses to my request. If the answer is yes I can move to the next candidate in line. ; D

Here is my screeshot:

How can I fix this error?
