Yesterday our friends at @CollaboraOffice published an update supporting the #linux landlock feature. They're one of the first bigger projects implementing this new #security sandbox technology.

It's a real security improvement and you should use some minutes this weekend to log into your #Nextcloud server and run an update. Protect your #privacy and keep your #privatecloud safe!

Euro-Office receives desktop app

Nextcloud Hub 26 Summer expands the free collaboration platform. Euro-Office gets a dedicated desktop application.

If you are like me and run your own private, Nextcloud server that isn't exposed to the internet and want to sync podcasts between your phone and computer using gPodder sync, you'll quickly discover that no podcast client will talk to a server with a self-signed certificate. Not because it's technically dangerous, but because the developers have chosen not to support it. A single checkbox would fix it. They've been asked. They won't do it. Why? Skip to the last paragraph.

And yeah, with the amount of work I had to put it - I'm mad. ​​

This pattern repeats across every app, every platform, and the Android operating system itself. The consistent push from podcast apps, Google (Android) and the Linux desktop ecosystem is toward public certificate authorities and away from privately managed infrastructure. The people who suffer is anyone who wants to run their own server without exposing it to the internet.

Adding a certificate to Ubuntu's system trust store is straightforward and works immediately for natively installed applications. Flatpak (increasingly pushed as the Linux desktop standard) is a different problem entirely. Flatpak isolates apps from the host system, and the mechanism that's supposed to bridge host certificates into that sandbox is broken.

For several versions, Android has had a deliberate policy to hamper users to install their own certificates. It's a pain. App developers can opt in to trusting user-installed certificates with a one-line configuration change. Most haven't. AntennaPod hasn't.

None of this is technically insurmountable. But the cumulative friction across every layer... The apps, the OS, the desktop packaging format, the server appliance all pushes in the same direction: Self-hosting with your own certificates is made difficult everywhere, simultaneously, by parties who agree on the plausible-sounding security justification:

"The only safe option is to have a publicly exposed server with a CA-signed certificate". Like that's safer than accessing a server with a manually verified certificate through a closed VPN mesh network.

@garym won't get this but I do believe those #Nextcloud wss:// errors are mere warnings, however when I look at the console errors (which include the wss) I notice Social fails to read outside profiles from #mstdnca although I can see the profile on my local pixelfed and both social and pixelfed show these following each other, but even the local pixelfed gets no posts, and social sees the profile from pixelfed but no posts or messages.

Mastodon Access Denied message on the url nas.teledyn.com/apps/social/api/v1/global/account/info?account=teledyn@mstdn.ca CSRF check failed

my Social app installation in #Nextcloud is giving a strange error:

Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at wss://nextcloudpi/push/ws.

My config defines a proxy for ws:// and the notify_push:self-test checks ok as does systemctl status, but a grep of the app/social code shows js mentions of wss:// - I also notice the dashboard also logs these errors, likely because Social is active? or because my systemd adds --allow-self-signed?

I tried modifying the ProxyPass to wss: to no avail, double checked installed modules and the reqs from the notify_push git page. I did find mention that wss is the secure version, only recommended where NC and NP are on different machines, which they are not.

maybe it is benign? My only symptom so far is nothing goes out, and nothing comes in to @garym and one of these days I'm going to figure out why!

Nextcloud - Brute-Force-Drosselung und TooManyRequestsException beheben

hyperblog.de/hoergen/posts/202…
#demhoergen #hyperblog #nextcloud #brute-force #trusted-proxies #apache #php-fpm #server

Wie ich eine hartnäckige Brute-Force-Drosselung in Nextcloud behoben habe - trusted_proxies-Einträgen und Apache/PHP Neustart.

After the #Nextcloud issue I had (which is resolved) my #UnifiOS died. It looks like it was the SD card in the #RaspberryPi. Luckily I have backups, so I should have this back up and running quickly, on a shiny new SD.
