Raw Blame History

nassella

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)
