Another thought on https://git.autonomic.zone/autonomic-cooperative/?q=.zone&sort=recentupdate&tab= is that it is really specific to having Drone CI running for all the deployments (you need that extra infra) and separating it into its own repository for each app is a little bit of overkill (or feels like). So, wonder how it could become a monorepo and still have this "if you push a commit, it auto-deploys" mode of operating...

Since then, we've been wondering about MagicApp as a potential alternative solution, to get closer to a Cloudron-esque pointy-clicky-app-deployment UI, but backed off wondering if it wasn't the "just one more neat abstraction layer" that might completely disconnect us from reality.

As we saw recently with the Wordpress backup collab, it'd be nice to have even a start at a solution to this for our public mini-launch.

A monorepo seems simpler; I guess we'd need to decide a recommended repo / config layout and then add options to abra to specify which env vars go with which stacks.

Yeah, I think monorepo would be nice. It would also be less overhead for our our upgrade bot config and general day-to-day maintenance. Is there anything to be said for trying to come up with a abra.yml format (some references made in https://git.autonomic.zone/autonomic-cooperative/abra/issues/1) that can support the monorepo setup? So, making the .envrc explicit in a YAML formatted file.

Lots of progress towards monorepo over in autonomic-cooperative/abra@monorepo
