Cloudron is a platform that makes it easy to install, manage and secure web apps on a server. Cloudron provides a centralized way to manage users and specify which apps they can access.
Deploying the Cloudron Marketplace App
The Linode Marketplace allows you to easily deploy software on a Linode using the Linode Cloud Manager.
Log in to the Cloud Manager and select the Marketplace link from the left navigation menu. This displays the Linode Compute Create page with the Marketplace tab pre-selected.
Under the Select App section, select the app you would like to deploy.
Fill out all required Options for the selected app as well as any desired Advanced Options (which are optional). See the Configuration Options section for details.
Complete the rest of the form as discussed within the Getting Started > Create a Linode.
Click the Create Linode button. Once the Linode has provisioned and has fully powered on, wait for the software installation to complete. If the Linode is powered off or restarted before this time, the software installation will likely fail. To determine if the installation has completed, open the Linode’s Lish console and wait for the system login prompt to appear.
Follow the instructions within the Getting Started After Deployment section.
Software installation should complete within 10-12 minutes after the Linode has finished provisioning.
Configuration Options
Cloudron Options
The Cloudron Marketplace form includes advanced fields to setup your Cloudron server’s limited user account and DNS records. These are optional configurations and are not required for installation.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| The limited sudo user to be created for the Linode | This is the limited user account to be created for the Linode. This account has sudo user privileges. |
| The password for the limited sudo user | Set a password for the limited sudo user. The password must meet the complexity strength validation requirements for a strong password. This password can be used to perform any action on your server, similar to root, so make it long, complex, and unique. |
| The SSH Public Key that will be used to access the Linode | If you wish to access SSH via Public Key (recommended) rather than by password, enter the public key here. |
| Disable root access over SSH? | Select Yes to block the root account from logging into the server via SSH. Select No to allow the root account to login via SSH. |
General Options
For advice on filling out the remaining options on the Create a Linode form, see Getting Started > Create a Linode. That said, some options may be limited or recommended based on this Marketplace App:
- Supported distributions: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
- Recommended plan: All plan types and sizes can be used.
Getting Started after Deployment
The Cloudron application is served on the Linode, however it still requires a few additional steps to fully complete the installation process.
The Cloudron setup wizard is served at the IP address of the Linode server . For example,
http://203.0.113.0, replacing the IP address with values for the Linode server and accept the self-signed certificate.Note
In Chrome, you can accept the self-signed certificate by clicking on Advanced and then click Proceed to(unsafe). In Firefox, click on Advanced, then Add Exception and then Confirm Security Exception. At this point, the Cloudron Domain setup wizard appears.
In the setup screen, fill in the fields and click the Next button. The Setup Admin Account page appears.
After the account is created, Cloudron prompts you to proceed to the dashboard on completing the setup and displays a confirmation screen.
NoteCurrently, Linode does not manage software and systems updates for Marketplace Apps. It is up to the user to perform routine maintenance on software deployed in this fashion.
