@bhaugen we can contact coopcloud and try to test out a collaboration with them (or their coop networks) to offer premium hosting service, that would quite a cool use case... do you think the driftless group would be interested in this? (Of course no prob if they prefer to host it by themselves)
I tried to post this same content before and it went off into space somewhere. If it landed in the Bonfire campground and this is a duplicate, sorry, but i don't see my first try anywhere.
I wanted to ask about CoopCloud, which bonfirenetworks.org/docs/dep...
recommends for deployment.
But from skimming their doc, looks like they don't offer an actual cloud that I can deploy on, just some software for people to install on some other server.
Is that correct? And if so, got any recommendations for where to actually install Bonfire software?
@bhaugen see docs.coopcloud.tech/operator...
While you can use any provider to get a server or VPS to use with coop-cloud, there's two mentioned in their docs (since they're more closely integrated into the tooling):
- servers.coop is an initiative started by the same people as coop-cloud to setup a cooperative network of hosters, but I'm not sure how operational it is yet
- hetzner is a german company that's common choice among FOSS and fediverse folks
Thanks again. How much server do you think Bonfire would need?
capsul.org/pricing
(that was from servers.coop which looks good if they are ready to go.)

As I said in that other channel, I think it's too early to count onn the Driftless group doing anything. But if not them, I have another regional group in mind.
So early days of a conversation, or maybe more than one conversation. In all of them, I am the person who wants a Driftless Bonfire site, and nobody else is there yet.
@bhaugen I'd start with f1-s on there and scale up as needed (it really depends on the number of simultaneous active users)

The driftless group started something like a web presence:
sounds awesome, but consider that Federation is still a wip
Where does federation fit in the Bonfire upcoming roadmap?
Coming up soon: github.com/bonfire-networks/...
Got it.
This is a bonfire instance for testing purposes. Federation is disabled for this instance.
Automatic federation enabled
