Settings on Quollix

Server Host

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The server host value is needed to access installed apps. For example, if you set the host to company.com and click Open on the forgejo app on the Installed Apps page, forgejo.company.com will open in a new tab. For local testing, you can simply use localhost as the host value.

Note: This proxying requires that the domain (e.g. forgejo.company.com) resolves to the server where Quollix is installed, either via a DNS record or an entry in your system’s hosts file.

Certificate

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

There are multiple ways to operate certificates in Quollix.

1) Default Certificate

By default, Quollix is available on port 443 via HTTPS using a universal self-signed wildcard certificate. This default certificate works for all domains or IP addresses through which you access Quollix and any host configured in the Settings. This option may be sufficient for test deployments or private LAN networks. However, for most real-world use cases, a valid, properly signed wildcard certificate is recommended.

Maintenance

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The features Automatic Updates and Automatic Backups are enabled by default and are handled by the Maintenance Agent in the background. The Maintenance Agent runs once a day.

If both options are enabled, the Maintenance Agent compares the version of each locally installed app with the latest version in the App Store. If an update is available, a backup is created, then the update is applied. If the update fails, you can restore the previous version.

Remote Backup

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

By default, when you create a backup of an app, Quollix will create a local backup of it. However, if remote backups are enabled, an additional remote backup is created and sent to an external SSH server.

Note

We strongly recommend that you enable this feature. If your hard drive becomes irreversibly damaged, remote backup may be the only way to recover your data.

Quollix uses the restic tool in the backend, which provides end-to-end encryption. This means that even if someone intercepts the traffic or gains access to the backup server, they cannot read your encrypted backup data.
