Another one bites the dust

Installation fails on fresh Ubuntu 20.04 on Vultr

What is it with all these so-called "self-host" solutions that basically either a) don't work or b) are insecure

🤦‍♂️

Time to build our own 😂

@prologic yes.

@prologic then make it happen? a lot of work goes into these pre-baked self-hosting platforms. most of us just build our own methodology just like you did with swarm on mills-dc.

there's always going to be very opinionated implementations that don't work for everyone. in the end, have to do what works best for your use-case or have a co-op who can make decisions together
@retrocrash Co-Op sounds good.

What are our requirements?

Wish list?

Go!

likely too much to sum in a twt. but the coop models i've seen really do well with:

- everyone involved is a stakedholder
- core co-op has membership fees/donations
- consensus on technical design and implementation
- apolitical
- all operators drive the co-op's agenda, not their own
- diversity of operator skillsets (ie: infra, sec, code, pm, advocacy, writing, design)
- monthly or weekend meetings with an agenda and notes taken (think non-profit board meetings)
- good documentation both internal and external

this is a start. i've been working on this for a long time, just looking for folks to click up with. have a few in the eu ready to go but we're more on the sec/infra/cryptography side. will have to fill in the blanks.
@retrocrash I like it. Capital to get started? We'd need a tiny bit at least 😆
