[ { "left": "What is Co-op Cloud?", "right": "Co-op Cloud is a commons technology project that aims to simplify hosting libre software for democratic collectives. It's a set of container tools and configurations, and a community federation of mutual support." }, { "left": "Is this a good long-term choice?", "right": "Co-op Cloud re-uses upstream libre software project packaging efforts (containers). We aim to directly coordinate between distribution methods (app packagers) and production methods (app developers) to reduce duplication of effort." }, { "left": "What libre apps are available?", "right": "You can see all the Co-op Cloud app \"recipes\" in [the online, live-updated recipe catalogue](https://dev.apps.coopcloud.tech/). Among these are Nextcloud, Jitsi, Mediawiki, Rocket.chat and many more!" }, { "left": "What about other alternatives?", "right": "Co-op Cloud helps fill a gap between the personal and the industrial-scale: it's easier to use than [Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io/) or [Ansible](https://www.ansible.com/), does more to support multi-server, multi-tenant deployments than [Cloudron](https://www.cloudron.io/), and is much easier than manual deployments.
