 A worker's co-op and self-hosting for anyone. <3
+
+~nassella~ is the working name for the worker's co-op as well as the
+current in-development software project, which is: to build a system
+that enables anyone to self-host a specific set of apps.
+
+** A worker's co-operative
+
+I want to build a workplace where the goals are differently aligned
+from that of a more common tech workplace. The goals of the worker's
+co-op:
+
+- worker control: 1 worker = 1 vote
+- long-term, stable sustainable job's for members
+  - prioritize less work hours over growth/profit
+- voluntary and open membership
+  - no discrimination including:
+    - gender
+    - social
+    - sexuality
+    - racial
+    - political
+    - religious
+- provide a safe and inclusive work environment
+  - members must feel safe to make mistakes and voice different
+    opinions
+
+  - communication should be direct and specific
+  - expectations must be explicitly communicated
+  - boundaries must be listened to and respected
+  - members must not speak to or cooperate with law enforcement
+- provide opportunities for members to learn and grow
+- remain independent and autonomous
+  - outside capital, if any, may not have control
+- cooperate with other cooperatives
+- concern for community
+  - actively engage with local communities
+  - actively manage environmental impacts
+  - seek out, involve, and learn from diverse groups
+
+** Product
+
+The goal is to produce a product that enables less-technical people
+the ability to self-host applications in a secure and auto-updating
+manner. Self-hosting for anyone!
+
+*** Potential Qualities
+
+- secure
+- auto-updates
+  - host system
+  - container layers
+  - container apps
+- manages dns records
+- manages ssl certs
+- reproducible (in a config standpoint)
+  - config is declarative
+- load balances as needed
+- collects and displays logs from all apps in a useful format
+- data volumes/storage independent from containers
+- can off-site backup automatically
+- updates are run through CI before being made available
+- can be moved between providers (no vendor lock-in)
+
+*** Potential Tech For Self-Hosted Cloud Infra
+
+- DNS Registration
+  - Terraform via supported registry
+- DNS Config
+  - Terraform
+- resource management (VPS's etc)
+  - Terraform
+- LB for apps
+  - docker-compose + caddy
+- SSL
+  - LB + caddy
+- apps
+  - docker-compose
+- OS
+  - flatcar linux
+
+*** Potential Tech for Deployment and Config Node
+
+Can be run locally or as a SaaS
+
+- docker contained webapp for deploying/configuring/updating?
+- needs to generate/init and store:
+  - terraform config and state
+  - docker-compose config
+
+    (this can be embedded in terraform config)
+
+- can be used to:
+  - select apps
+  - resources (manage)
+  - view logs (stored on self-hosted infra)
