We're starting off with working out how to use Co-op Cloud's Traefik instance as a reverse proxy for existing apps on a homeserver that's already internet-accessible -- once that's done we'll be moving on to working around the requirement for a public IP (possibly helping test our comrade `@forest`'s [newly-launched "Greenhouse" system](https://greenhouse.server.garden/)), and then packaging some of the key homeserver apps like Jellyfin and friends. ### App backups are coming -[`3wc`](https://git.coopcloud.tech/3wordchant) has come up with a very promising prototype for a generalised backup solution for Co-op Cloud apps! Following prior art, discussions and experiences with various backup tools, a new [`backup-bot-two`](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/backup-bot-two) has arrived and is already being testing in [`150c953c51`](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/organising/issues/30#:~:text=Owner-,150c953c51,-https%3A//git.coopcloud).

This prompted a discussion about how to manage costs of this infrastructure and we've since set up a new tier on our Open Collective for wiring up a recurring payment. See our shiny new contribution tab [here](https://opencollective.com/coop-cloud#category-CONTRIBUTE) and huge shout-out to PeachCloud folks who have [set up the first payment](https://opencollective.com/coop-cloud/transactions?type=CREDIT&kind=CONTRIBUTION).
