Anyone tried Co-Op Cloud? (coopcloud.tech)

I've been searching for a replacement for my crufty Yunohost install, something that runs docker, "app" install, and preferably SSO and multiuser. I was deciding between CasaOS and Cosmos Cloud when I stumbled on Co-Op Cloud. I can't find anything on it online anywhere except for their site. Anyone tried it or have any opinions?

Hey .. I have been looking at both. Im a Business Analyst rather than DevOps so I went for Yunohost.org as it got me something running more quickly rather than Coop.Cloud but I can see the different use cases.

Can I ask why you described your install as Crufty? What issues have you run into hauving Yunohost for a while?

It feels to me (Without direct experience running Coop Cloud bit more looking and chatting ) that its more aimed at provisioning multiple instances for multiple customers across multiple VMs rather than Yunohost which seems like more of a - This is one instance on one server/VM

There is a part of me that likes the user admin features/ GUI of Yunohost and wonders whether people managing multiple organisations across many VMs would want to wrap Yunohost inside Coop. Cloud - but im all new to this.

I think this, like anything tech, depends on the usecase.

As an example, if I was an ethnographer working to document rural cooking techniques on the Isle of Skye I might work with this group to stand up a public instance of mealie. Success would depend on the project being a collective work though. Me working with the collectives to meet the challenges of the project over a loosely defined set of time.

I think the above could be a big success. On the opposite side, I would not count on the collective to host and maintain my personal tech stack. Maybe I'd pay them to advise, but little more

I've never seem the appeal of any if these sorts of solutions. It's really easy to just spin up proxmox then build an lxc.

[–] jawsua@lemmy.one 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Eh, it is what it is. I have a full family life and a job screwing with computers all week. I don't want to deal with spinning up, troubleshooting, and maintaining a mini devops stack.

I don't want to spend so much personal time to keep up with all the management and config, but I don't think that means someone like me should have to live in a big tech world. If there's a good framework that helps keep things easy to manage and secure for a minimal amount of input and time, even if I could run most of it myself manually with a lot more time investment, there's no reason not to, IMHO.

Hey, not knocking it. If the tool suits the use case then have at it. Just never seen the appeal.

I have those same things. Reason I like proxmox over something else is I have full control. Had too many issues on things like TrueNAS scale where I had control taken away from me.

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

These are different things. This project is more like a guide to running things kind of manually with their toolset they've constructed.

CasaOS is really based around the UI.

Cosmos is more about a desktop-like admin interface that can import CasaOS recipes or whatever they call them. Seems to also support multiple users and have some host tuning that Casa lacks.

It just depends on which route you want to go.

[–] jawsua@lemmy.one 1 points 2 days ago

Yeah, I know they're different. I was just giving some background about what was going on, sorry if I confused.

Just wondering if anyone has used what seems to be their compose/swarm config tool "abra", especially multiserver, and have any feedback about it. I like that it seems to be pretty agnostic after doing its work, they say you can backup and export the config and use it elsewhere mostly as-is. Just can't see much anywhere else about it.
