## Isn't running everything in containers inefficient?
It is true that if you install 3 apps and each one requires a MySQL database, then you will have 3 installations of MySQL on your system, running in containers.

## Why only x86 support?
We would love to do ARM support and hope to get there! We've been testing this and [ran into some issues](https://git.autonomic.zone/coop-cloud/organising/issues/25). The TLDR; is that a lot of upstream libre app developer communities are not publishing container builds that support ARM. If they are, there are typically subtle differences in the conventions used to build the image as they are mostly done by community members and not directly taken on by the upstream project themselves. Since one of the core goals is to coordinate and reuse upstream packaging work, we see that ARM support requires a lot of organising and community engagement. Perhaps projects themselves will not want to take on this burden? It is not the role of the Co-op Cloud to set up an entire ARM publishing work flow at this moment in time. We see the benefits of supporting ARM and if you've got ideas / thoughts / approaches for how to make progress here, [please get in touch](https://docs.coopcloud.tech/contact/).

Organisations who want to support the project can get in touch with Co-op Cloud service providers via the following list for a quote on what they're looking for and how much it will cost. Service providers can then factor in some percentage of the cost to co-fund the development of this project.
