@billseitz thanks for all this.

And yeah something along these lines.

Here in year 2, the vision “those who care will (must) engage”.

eg just figured out @anish can likely turn off his FreshRSS install and use the #CommonsComputer jointly hosted one

The TFT is a sub focus within CC. I’m not worried about numbers, more interest. If 50 people show up for TFT then the resources will be there to run a dedicated server.

OK, all the services on #CommonsComputer Cloudron are slowly being brought back up, including this server.

It was rock solid for a year, but a recent automatic update did _something_, and load spiked, which caused the VPS host to throttle it.

I had to kill services at the docker layer and slowly bring them up and let Cloudron update them.

If any new followers who are participating in the longest thread ever on slightly experimenting with software funding and ownership are interested, I help run a Canadian co-op that is member owned and hosts a Mastodon server, CoSocial blog.cosocial.ca

This server I host along with some other apps on a system I call the #CommonsComputer

It’s powered by #Cloudron, for which I pay a subscription in exchange for maintaining and updating both the server & all the apps that I deploy.

I just did a deep dive into Dropbox alternatives, especially those that are open source and could be self hosted, with an additional focus of what’s available on Cloudron.

From a turnkey / ease of use perspective, it looks like Nextcloud is the main answer commonscomputer.com/t/explorin #CommonsComputer

Commons Computer · Exploring Dropbox alternativesIt’s Christmas tech support season and one of the topics that came up visiting my parents was document storage and sync amongst their 4 unit strata. They were using Dropbox (maybe all with free accounts?) but it went over the 2GB freemium limit, and people didn’t want to all have to keep paying. There are 4 owners / 3x2 people + 1 = 7 people total. There could be 4 accounts / 1 account per owner. Or, there could be 1 account shared among everyone, but it feels like that would be bad. They mai...

Installed linkding shared bookmarking on the #CommonsComputer

As written up in the link, I’m still working out how to describe these shared services.

I have an OpenCollective for #ToolsForThoughtRocks but want to set things up that people can join the commons generally. commonscomputer.com/t/linkding

Commons Computer · LinkDing installedI just installed LinkDing, a shared bookmarking service. The shared bookmarks page is here. The first bookmark is me remembering how to add JavaScript bookmarklets to mobile safari. I have it configured so bookmarks get sent to the Internet Archive Wayback Machine. I’ve fallen out of the habit of bookmarks, mostly putting them in my second brain tools. Which is great, but none of the ones I use are great at adding structure to bookmarks: it’s up to me to come up with my own system. And: ...

@aynish @shauna Cloudron means running & managing an entire server, so this only makes sense if there’s other stuff you’re hosting as well.

Depending on your needs Shauna I could host an install on #CommonsComputer - DM me if you want to explore that. I’m actively looking for people to share my server with.

Thanks Aynish!

This #ToolsForThoughtRocks Mastodon Server is already hosted on the #CommonsComputer server.

Commons Computer · Shared Castopod Fediverse Podcast HostingI’m in the midst of setting up Castopod for CoSocial. If you’re a person in Canada, you should sign up for a co-op membership and you’ll have it included with your membership. But that won’t work if you’re not in Canada. I have a test install on this server at https://castopod.commonscomputer.com (but that domain name isn’t very cool, so we’ll pick a new one together). I’m open to doing shared hosting of a Castopod server. Here’s what I think that would look like: look for 3+ people interes...

We did a bunch of stuff live on my own test server at #CommonsComputer

So here's the first post from the amazing "Boris Self Hosting" podcast, which you can follow directly @bmannselfhosting

Note: not a real podcast :) @rndeon followed along as we pushed some buttons to bring this live.
