My Cloudron instance runs one Discourse app. I see that my Cloudron server IP address can log into my email account to send emails. Where, in either Cloudron or Discourse could I have set this to be allowed?

Nextcloud Files app webpage hangs sometimesSome folder views of the Nextcloud Files app hang for about two minutes when I view them via browsers. They do not hang when I view them via the Android app.

Minimum hardware requirements for Nextcloud on Cloudron?What is the recommended minimum hardware for Cloudron running Nextcloud?
I have a Cloudron instance running Nextcloud on a 1 CPU core, 2 GB RAM Linode VPS. Sometimes it takes a long time for my browser to load the site. I am usually the only person accessing it. Sometimes two people access it. Is this normal? Do I need more cores?

How to backup Cloudron to Scaleway free tier?This is what Scaleway just answered.
I asked Scaleway:
Am I explicitly choosing a storage class every time I upload a file? If not, can I set the default storage class to be One Zone IA instead of Standard?
They answered:
Hello sir, Indeed you are. You'll have to set every single time the storage class needed. You may be interested by S3 CLI: https://www.scaleway.com/en/docs/storage/object/api-cli/object-operations#putobject aws s3api put-object --bucket BucketName --key dir-1/ObjectName --body ObjectName Note: To define the storage class of the object directly upon creation, use the --storage-class option with awscli or add the x-amz-storage-class: header when using the S3 API. You can specify one of the following classes: STANDARD, ONEZONE_IA, GLACIER. Example: x-amz-storage-class: ONEZONE_IA.If no class is specified, the object is created as STANDARD by default.

But of course (for a newbie) my Cloudron question still remains.

How to backup Cloudron to Scaleway free tier?It appears that Cloudron backs up to Scaleway's paid "Standard" storage class, with no option to back up to "One Zone IA" storage class, which is their free tier. You can set the storage class after the fact via Scaleway's website dashboard, but of course that is a bit tedious. I am using the PAR region, which, as far as I know, is the region needed to use the free "One Zone IA" storage class.
How do I back up Cloudron to the Scaleway "One Zone IA" storage class automatically?
Edit: I now see, at https://docs.cloudron.io/backups/#scaleway-object-storage :
The Storage Class must be set to STANDARD . Setting it to GLACIER will result in an error because server side copy operation is not supported in that mode.
but where is that set? I don't see that option in the settings.

Backup size@girish said in Backup size:
- Thanks, I deleted files in the Nextcloud recycle bin. Now, after a reboot, Cloudron System Info shows 4.3 GB for the Nextcloud instance. (I had to delete the nginx config of a stopped app to get the system to reboot.)
- Thanks, I'll keep both folders. I have no particular goal to remove Discourse or its backups.
- I measured
/var/backups
size by adding up the three separate folders that FileZilla showed me, but I now understand that some files are hardlinks. And the Backup data shows only 4.87 GB now, so my disk is small enough for me to move on. Thank you!

Backup sizeI 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 (edit 2023: files 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?

How do I see what version of Cloudron I'm running?Note to self:
Emptying the footer did not work for me: the result was "2022 Cloudron Forum".
I usedCloudron 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 .

Error on changing Discourse root email@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. -

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. ; )
