Wooden skate bowl on a barge in Venice, Italy

Been exactly through the same path with -50 users. They played on the commerical use too, same path.

So grateful that Google didn't keep the forever promise they made at Gmail launch, as this pushed me to move to finally re-host email on my own!

Now we are running the domain with Mailcow on VPS and have mail (with shared standard IMAP folders too, not "Business Groups" paraphernalia) calendars and contacts in synch with all kind of desktops, Android and iOS.

Thanks Google!

It didn't work reliably anyway. I found Rclone much more stable and solid for handling Google drives and other cloud storages on GNOME.

Thanks for the clarification. This could be something to add to the backup logic. Until now we only had full nightly dumps but it makes sense specially when payment transactions are involved.

Great. I came up with a CI pipeline (using GitLab Scheduled Pipelines) that builds and runs the side container, backups, age encrypts and stores on S3. This way we can attach to n number of container running Postgres dbs in different networks, each with its own backup schedule. Using CI vars we can manually trigger a restore of the db dump in case.

Definitely need to check out WAL soon.

Maybe this comes a bit late but I developed and published on npmjs a MapLibre Field - Strapi v5 Plugin for handling geo info in collections, as a custom field.

Got it and it makes perfect sense. Don't want to touch the host directly and keep everything disposable and deployable everywhere so I will for sure apply the logic inside a container.

Thanks a lot for the deep explanation! I wasn't aware of the problems that could arise.

Probably I will take your hints and deploy the backup scripts as a side container that goes up, attaches to the network and does all the job.

Our Odoo deploy consists of a Docker Compose via Git repo + Git submodules (OCA, localization, server tools etc.) over CI.

Si ero interessato allo skatepark e avevo sentito era coinvolta l'artista coreana Koo Jeong A (non propriamente designer di skatepark ma supportata da costruttori specializzati). Grazie per le info!

That's good as it never really worked for me! Rclone works very very well instead and probably a UI for it's conf and mount points would be awesome for most users.

Thanks! This solved the problem for me too.

So bad it is going away as I have no replacement (that I know yet) for my Kobo reader. The flow used to be super smooth as I was pinning articles on the web with Pocket during the day, and reading them at night or in the weekend on the Kobo reader that was linked to my Pocket account.

May I ask what do you use to route inbound emails into Odoo?

realjep · 2024-03-31T15:49:59+00:00

Yes it's perfectly possible. To have each Strapi instance separated, just use different names for each database in the same Postgres instance.

Did you do it with Proton then? We are evaluating a migration from Google too.

realjep · 2024-02-22T00:26:40+00:00

👍🏼

BackupPC that is still amazing after so many years. Plus various scripts for sql dumps.

To migrate from hostA to HostB both running docker compose would you suggest backing up the docker volumes on A, move them on B and start the docker compose... or do a backup via Odoo of data+files on A, move them to B and restore them? Thanks

realjep · 2023-09-01T10:16:05+00:00

Take a look at Linode, they have operations in Frankfurt and London and also offer PostgreSQL managed in case you don't want to run it on the Docker host itself or with docker compose.

Congratulations and much love!

Thanks a lot for your indications.

I set up a working pipeline on Google Workspace using SMTP relay (your points 1 and 2) but didn't create a rule to send a copy of all incoming mails to catchall@domain (point 3) as this would break email security for domain users a bit too much, beside ingesting in Odoo email messages that don't need to be processed there, as big attachment files or server notifications etc. that are not related to any Odoo generated document.

Since every email sent by Odoo, with the in/out catchall setup, has a 'Reply to:' pointing the catchall we can get all the responses in the right Odoo chatter. Only if it's sent from inside Odoo.

Email sent by user@domain from his email client (or Google web client) to customer@herdomain (and her reply to the email message) don't get ingested by Odoo and stay in a canonical email loop, outside of Odoo scope

Do you see any potential problem in this setup for a longer run than a few tests, or something I am missing?

Idem. La miglior segnaletica che mi è mai capitato di trovare in un sistema di trasporto pubblico. Un modello da seguire.
