Duplicati-monitoring.com - central monitoring of multiple Duplicati instances + nice email reports

Hello,

I understand that it is not an option to downgrade security but it is not my server, I’m not in charge of the budget, otherwise it would have been changed a long time ago. I was just wondering if there was a workaround. If I can’t activate TLS1.2 I’m going to try to push them towards changing the server. Thank you for your help.

Greetings

@crazy4chrissi Thanks for confirming, definitely don’t downgrade your web server’s encryption support :slight_smile:

For anyone having a problem:
In addition to enabling TLS 1.2 on the OS, it is easily possible to solve the problem through a reverse proxy in the Apache web server.
I am including an example of a functional virtual guest that performs a proxy on HTTP/ or HTTPS with a lower version of TLS (your choice)
A proxy with HTTP may need to be on your server in the local network, so you don’t risk HTTP communication over the Internet.

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName duplicati-monitoring.yourdomain.com

	ProxyPreserveHost Off
	ProxyRequests Off

	ProxyPass / https://www.duplicati-monitoring.com/
    ProxyPassReverse / https://www.duplicati-monitoring.com/

    SSLProxyEngine On
</VirtualHost>

Hi,
I solved it by adding the option --allowed-ssl-versions=Tls12 in the backup configuration.

Hello @crazy4chrissi

I can enter the web page and see the reports perfectly. But for no apparent reason I have stopped receiving reports by mail.

I use Gmail and received reports daily before.

Is there anything I can do?

Thank you

I have same problem with gmail.
Last email received on gmail.com was 5.6.2023. If I create new contact, confirmation mail is not delivered to gmail.com.
Others domains works fine - like hotmail.com

EDIT:
It looks like duplicati-monitoring.com domain now don’t have set up SPF and DKIM even if a month ago the messages were still signed by DKIM - that would explain why there is a problem with delivery.

Thanks for the information. Maybe try changing the email address then. I’ll wait a bit to see what the developer responds.

(Of course the reports don’t end up in spam either.)

Yes we had problems with dkim + spf. Should be fixed now.

Hello @crazy4chrissi

Thanks for the work. Still not working, I even changed my email address to a non-GMail address and I am not receiving the account verification email.

In any case, I can consult the reports on the web. Thank you.

Update: is working now!! With a no GMail account but It’s OK.
Thanks!

Just wondering if anyone else is having issues receiving daily report emails? For me it seems to have stopped two days ago. Last email received was on 07.15.23.

I have no problem on Gmail - last email was received today without any recent gap.

Just found out about this and started using it. It’s working really well for my needs currently.

I just wish there was a way to self host this as to not have to rely on the current hosting infrastructure.

Great tool tho

Looks like the service is down? My backups can’t send reports to it and I can’t connect to the website. I did get status email about my backup jobs from yesterday. :thinking:

Yeah I noticed that too. I’ve been having issues over the past week but it has been really bad the past 24 hours or so.

https://www.duplicati-monitoring.com/ Working fine for me, but I stopped using Gmail account, instead I use one from my own server and it works perfect.

Hello

Love this service, however it seems to be down. I entered the send-http-url in the backup job as per the video and re-ran the job however https://www.duplicati-monitoring.com/ does not see the update. I can confirm the server can see https://www.duplicati-monitoring.com/.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Check in your duplicati logs for any errors?

I recently encountered similar thing, random reports did not send. Maybe it’s because websites https://www.duplicati-monitoring.com/ sometime returns bad gateway errors, so it might just be bad timing coincidence.

I’m obviously doing something wrong, I tried again with another instance of Duplicati and got the same error…

System.UriFormatException: Invalid URI: The Uri string is too long.
at System.UriHelper.EscapeString(String input, Int32 start, Int32 end, Char dest, Int32& destPos, Boolean isUriString, Char force1, Char force2, Char rsvd)
at System.Uri.EscapeDataString(String stringToEscape)
at Duplicati.Library.Modules.Builtin.SendHttpMessage.SendMessage(String subject, String body)
at Duplicati.Library.Modules.Builtin.ReportHelper.OnFinish(Object result)

all I did was enter the URL

any thoughts?

Shane

Further to this I think it may be related to this ticket. i.e. too many errors…
