Techy co-op question: Show more

Are there any co-ops that run web hosting? My food co-op is looking at hosting more stuff in the cloud and it is important for us to support other co-ops when we do so.

Also, would there be interest in setting up a co-op web host if I could talk the food co-op into investing in something like that?

the co-op is looking at moving files into the cloud. Our local networked file store has a lot of limitations. But due to the fact that we have around 50 accounts and terabytes of data the cost is going to be a lot.

So, for the same price of moving to something like Google Team Drives we could start a pretty nice lil hosting co-op that could serve a dozen other co-ops of our size.

even if it was something simple like managed hosting of NextCloud, Ampache, and Peertube (for document, music, and video hosting) that would be a service I would personally want to become a member-owner of.

@polymerwitch @Algot masto hosting from a co-op is what in looking out for too! There was talk about social.coop taking over maastodon.net, which is shutting down, but I think they decided against it.

@polymerwitch maybe it's feasable to have a CPU-heavy machine which runs NextCloud, yet uses public cloud infrastructure to store all the data encrypted. NextCloud offers server-side encryption.

Downloading a file would mean to fetch the file from remote, decrypt it via symmetric per-file key which is only known to the NextCloud Server and then retransmit that to the receiver.

@polymerwitch i'm not sure if this is viable because it would require twice the bandwidth for every operation while still saving massively on hard drives.

@polymerwitch I share your interest. Here at social.coop we have recently decided to join https://www.webarchitects.coop/, buying a 100 Euro stake. I am interested in helping people in my area set up a local hosting cooperative that could eventually expand into other services like local internet.

There's also indie.host. Good people, but I don't think it's a co-op

@polymerwitch mayfirst.org is a membership organization that provides web hosting, email hosting, nextcloud, discourse and a few other services. Not quite structured as a coop, but is run democratically. I'm a member and big fan of the org.
