We’re excited to announce a powerful upgrade to your hosting infrastructure on RunCloud – the 8G Firewall is now fully integrated and ready to help secure your web applications. 

🛡️ 8G Firewall Protection

The 8G Firewall provides an added layer of protection at the NGINX level, designed to stop common and dangerous threats before they reach your application. This includes: 

• Bad bots and crawlers
• SQL injection attempts
• Cross-site scripting (XSS)
• Other common web exploits
  
  

Note: 8G Firewall is supported only on Ubuntu 20.04 and above.

How to enable it:

To activate the 8G Firewall on your web application: 

1. Head to your Web Application > NGINX Configs
2. Click Create NGINX Config or edit an existing one
3. From the Predefined Config dropdown, select: WordPress – 8G Firewall 
4. Click Save Config

Containerized Servers

We've identified a bug in the MariaDB/MySQL Docker image that could potentially cause downtime when running future updates.

Our team has already developed a fix for this issue, but since we keep auto-updates disabled for databases (as they are not stateless and contain your data), this update requires manual intervention.

As a precautionary measure, please refer to this guide (est. 5-10 minutes)
