Hello, I’m a longtime user on a RPI4 + external USB disk
I’ve changed ISP and got a Vodafone Power Station router for a new Vodafone connection.
I’ve assigned the same fixed IP to the RPI4 running Syncloud, opened ports 443 and also 80 to that local IP, set UPNP ON on router. Results: no way to see the system.
I tried to open DMZ to that IP, no way.
I can only connect the Syncloud unit by addressing the local IP https://192.168.0.108 but after the login screen and after clicking on one of my apps (for example Nextcloud) nothing happens if I press OPEN
If I click SETTINGS it works. I then go to ACCESS and I get:
Get “https://myexternalip.com/raw”: x509: certificate has expired or is not yet valid: current time 1970-01-01T00:28:16Z is before 2022-04-19T02:28:24Z"
Is that the rteason of my inability to reach Syncloud on WAN?

But after a shutdown i get again:

It’s an RPI4, is there a battery to check? Or should it pickup time and date automatically?

Currently I can access my Syncloud on RPI4 only from local LAN IP, via local or WAN IP but only from within my LAN.
No way to connect my xxxx.syncloud.it or WAN IP address from outside.
More, I can’t access my Nextcloud installation with proper user/pw combinations. I get the login page reloading over and over with no error messages
All the above happens with or without a time-date sync after boot, that doesn’t appear to be critical.
Everything happened after I changed ISP from Telecom to Vodafone. Of course I had properly set up port forwarding and IP reservation.
I run Dietpi on another RPI4 wich I can access locally and from outside my LAN with no problems.
I’m thinking about restarting Syncloud installation from scratch but I wonder if I will retain our data on external USB storage provided that I keep the same login/pw combination
Hi
Still having problems with my RPI4 32bit installation: whenever system reboots I have to sync date manually.
Is it possible to insert a time sync automation with next upgrade?
I wish to stay with 32bit as it features more apps and I had problems as well with certificate when I tried 64bit, plus my fear to lose disk data (I know it should’nt happen, but I fear Murphy’s law a lot… )
Unfortunately there are few things we do not updgare at the moment like kernel that is why I am asking if you remember what image you used to build it.
Could you run this command:
uname -a
Actually all apps are on arm64 now, except diaspora (probably it is better to concentrate on adding modern alternatives like mattermost/mastodon/matrix).
Rocketchat only supports 64bit for some time already so arm32 has a really old version.
uname -a returns:
Linux syncloud 4.19.57-v7l+ #1244 SMP Thu Jul 4 18:48:07 BST 2019 armv7l GNU/Linux
It's an installation of a few years ago, I don't remember what image was used
Thanks

After trashing my old 32 bit version and installing a brand new 64 bit one I discovered that my problems were related to my “Vodafone Station” router.
In fact, with my new Syncloud/Nextcloud installation I was having the same difficulties with certificate plus I was unable to connect from the internet. I could connect through the local LAN IP address only.
Later on I brought the RPI4 Syncloud/Nextcloud package to my workplace, where I have a Vodafone and a TIM connections with their routers (both properly set up with port forwarding on 80 and 443), and discovered that it works perfectly with TIM but there is no way to access it from outside when connected through Vodafone.
I’m now pretty sure that Vodafone routers or network block something that is necessary for the Syncloud/Nextcloud installation.
You do not need to open port 80 (this is in past) only 443.
After opening it you need to enable external access in Settings - Access and save it, it will do a validation and tell you what is wrong (and you tell us).
Feb 14 10:12:52 syncloud platform.backend[297]: info cert/generator.go:86 not regenerating real certificate {“category”: “certificate”}
Feb 14 10:12:52 syncloud platform.backend[297]: info cert/generator.go:83 certificate info {“category”: “certificate”, “valid days”: 1534, “real”: true}
Isn’t the 80 port any longer dedicated to certificate update?
