a bit about the #ServersCoop tech stack

Our current plan is to use Cyberia's capsul-flask, which is a web interface for the well-tested libvirtd / KVM stack https://git.cyberia.club/cyberia/capsul-flask

capsul-flask is simple enough for humans to hack on, and handles the whole process from "user buying hosting credits" to "self-managing virtual servers". It's been powering https://capsul.org for a while, and also our own pre-alpha service on https://yolo.servers.coop

We also looked into OpenNebula, which has a lot more features, but there's a big gap where a payments / billing system needs to be.

What tech would you like to see in the Servers.coop platform? Do you have experience running virtual servers for your community which you'd like to share? Reply here, send us a DM, or join our #serverscoop-tech Matrix channel https://matrix.to/#/#serverscoop-tech:autonomic.zone

#introductions

This is Servers.coop – we're making a recipe to set up a community server provider, and cooking up our own dog-food by offering Virtual Private Server space.

We'll be starting out on donated hardware, powered by renewable energy, in Ashton-under-Lyme in the UK.

We'll be launching a crowdfunding campaign shortly to make sure costs are covered for the first year – follow us on here, join our Matrix space https://matrix.to/#/!bDeUsKuqTQwBjBEAuj:autonomic.zone?via=autonomic.zone&via=matrix.org&via=gottsnack.net , or look out for details of our upcoming e-mail list.
