New Base Image 4.2.0
The docker base image is now based on Ubuntu Jammy 22.04 LTS. The digest is:

OVH DNS
OVHCloud is the largest hosting provider in Europe. If your domain is hosted on OVH, choose OVH in the drop-down when configuring a domain.
DNSimple
DNSimple is a secure & simple DNS hosting provider . If your domain is hosted on DNSimple, you can choose DNSimple in the provider drop-down in the Domains view.
System Info
SMBIOS information like Vendor and Product is displayed in the System view.
Color-keyed Notifications
Notifications are colored based on their type. Important notifications requiring action including reboot required, certificate renewal failures, backup failures are marked in red. Updates are highlighted with blue.
Editable Volumes
Mount configuration of Volumes like host name, username, password and remote location can be changed at any time.
External Directory
The External Directory connector allows users from an existing LDAP or Active Directory to authenticate with Cloudron. Logs and sync progress can be viewed using the Logs dropdown on the top right.
We have also made many improvements in this release:
- 2FA Behavior: When using another Cloudron as an authentication provider, 2FA of the external directory is used. When using other providers, users can setup 2FA locally.
- User Attributes: The user's role and active state are local and not synced from LDAP.
- Groups Behavior: When
Sync Groupsis enabled, groups will be automatically created and users will be associated. External Groups are readonly and cannot be edited. - Sync Behavior: The local directory is synced with the external directory every 4 hours.
- Keep/Make Local: This feature has been removed. It never worked properly because local users were overwritten with the next sync.
Other Notable Changes
