## What is the Co-op Cloud?
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
<<<<<<< HEAD
 | 
			
		||||
Co-op Cloud aims to make hosting free software applications simple for small providers. It uses the latest container technologies and innovations and configurations are shared into [the commons](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commons) for the benefit of all.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
The project is intended for small service providers such as tech co-operatives who are looking to standardise around an open, transparent and scalable infrastructure.

		||||
The Co-op Cloud is a project which aims to make self-hosting free software applications simple! It's a project which fits in alongside others like [Cloudron](https://www.cloudron.io/), [Yunohost](https://yunohost.org/) and [Freedombone](https://freedombone.net/) and others but has its own specific focus. The project is intended for existing small service providers and cooperatives already involved in hosting work who are looking for alternatives.

## Which technologies?
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
The core technologies are free software and enjoy wide adoption across free

		||||
software developer communities.

## Who is behind the project?
 | 
			
		||||
The project was started by workers at [Autonomic](https://autonomic.zone/) which is a [workers co-operative](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worker_cooperative) providing technologies and infrastructure to empower users to make a positive impact on the world.

## What about `$alternative`?

		||||
We have various technical critiques of other similar projects which are already

up-and-running in the ecosystem as they don't necessarily meet our needs as a small tech co-op. However, the Cooperative Cloud isn't meant to be a replacement for these others projects. Here is a short overview of the pros/cons we see and how that relates to our goals here.
