- `abra recipe release $RECIPE [$VERSION]`
### Advanced Listing using `jq`
Several `abra` commands can output JSON formatted tables, and can thus be queried and filtered with the tool [jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/ "jq JSON Query tool"). We can also format these outputs with [tv](https://github.com/uzimaru0000/tv "tv Table Viewer") into a pretty table.
Currently, `abra recipe ls`, `abra server ls`, and `abra app ls` support the `-m` machine readable output flag which outputs JSON.
#### Filter recipes by "category"
`abra recipe ls -m | jq '[.[] | select(.category == "Utilities") ]' | tv`
```
$ abra recipe ls -m | jq '[.[] | select(.category == "Utilities") ]' | tv
```
As you can see we, we're selecting all recipes where category is "Utilities".
#### Filter apps by state `deployed`
!!! info
@ -71,9 +143,8 @@ As you can see we, we're selecting all recipes where category is "Utilities".
!!! info
`abra app ls` lists apps grouped into a server object, with statistics about the server. In `jq` we can select the entire apps list with `.[].apps[]`.
`abra app ls -m -S |jq '[.[].apps[] | select(.status == "deployed") | del(.upgrade)]' |tv`
```
$ abra app ls -m -S |jq '[.[].apps[] | select(.status == "deployed") | del(.upgrade)]' |tv
```
The `del(.upgrade)` filter filters out available versions for the recipe in question for that row. It could be useful to leave in if you want a list of deployed apps that need an upgrade.

* De-coupling: it should be possible to use the recipes without relying on

## Contributing
Welcome to Hacking the Planet with `abra`! We're looking forward to see what you come up. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask 💖 However, please keep in mind that if any of your changes seems a bit controversial, it's probably best to come have a chat first to avoid heartache.
In general, we're into the idea of "Optimistic Merging" (instead of "Pessimistic Merging" based on our understanding of [C4](https://hintjens.gitbooks.io/social-architecture/content/chapter4.html) (described further down under "Development Process" and also [in this blog post](http://hintjens.com/blog:106)).
In other words, we're happy to give you, as contributor, "the commit bit" (read/write permissions on the Git repositories) more or less as soon as you start to submit changes, write recipes, organise or in general, help out in the project. You don't have to prove anything, we can work and learn together! Mistakes are allowed and there are no "stupid questions".
We maintain a "team" called "Co-operators" on our 2 main repositories:
* [`git.coopcloud.tech/org/toolshed`](https://git.coopcloud.tech/org/toolshed/)
* [`git.coopcloud.tech/org/coop-cloud`](https://git.coopcloud.tech/org/coop-cloud/)
This gives you read/write access to all the repositories of the organisation.

## Integration tests
### Install dependencies
### Running on the CI server
We use [`bats`](https://bats-core.readthedocs.io/en/stable/), you can install
the required dependencies with the following. You also need a working
installation of Docker and Go (not covered in this section).
Based on [R020](https://docs.coopcloud.tech/federation/resolutions/passed/020/), we have automated running the integration test suite. Here's the TLDR;
* We have a donated CI server (tysm `@mirsal` 💝) standing at the ready, `int.coopcloud.tech`.
* We run the entire integration suite nightly via our Drone CI/CD configuration [here](https://git.coopcloud.tech/toolshed/abra/src/branch/main/.drone.yml) (see "`name: integration test`" stanza)
* Here is the script that is run on the remote server: [`run-ci-int`](https://git.coopcloud.tech/toolshed/abra/src/branch/main/scripts/tests/run-ci-int)
What follows is a listing of how this was achieved so that we can collectivise the maintenance.
On the server, we have:
* Created an `abra` user with `docker` permissions
* Ran `apt install bats bats-file bats-assert bats-support jq make git golang-1.21 wget bash`
* Installed `bats-core` from source, following the instructions below
* Docker was already installed on the machine, so nothing to do there
* `docker login` with the `thecoopcloud` details so we don't get rate limited
The drone configuration was wired up as follows:
* Generated a SSH key and put the public key part in `~/.ssh/authorize_keys`
* Added that public key part as a "deploy key" in the abra repo (so we can do `ssh://` git remote pulls)
* Added the private key part as a Drone secret which is available in build so that the build can SSH over to the server to run commands. That was done like so: `drone secret add --repository toolshed/abra --name abra_int_private_key --data @id_ed25519`
* In order to specify a cron timing, you need to create it with the Drone CLI: `drone cron add "toolshed/abra" "integration" @daily --branch main`
Please ask `@decentral1se` or on the Matrix channels for SSH access to the machine.
### Running them locally
#### Install dependencies
We use [`bats`](https://bats-core.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) to run the tests. You can install the required dependencies with the following. You also need a working installation of Docker and Go >= 1.16 (not covered in this section).
```
apt install bats-file bats-assert bats-support jq make git
```
Unfortunately, the latest `bats` version in Debian stable does not have the
"filter tests by tags" feature, which is very handy for running a subset of the
tests. For this, we need to install `bats` from source. It's easy.

For some tests an actual server is needed, where apps can be deployed. You can either use a local one or a remote test server. There is also a way to run or skip tests that require a remote server. This is covered below in the [filtering tests](#filter-tests_1) section.
#### With remote test server
##### Remote swarm
```
export ABRA_TEST_DOMAIN="test.example.com"
export ABRA_DIR="$HOME/.abra_test"
```
`ABRA_TEST_DOMAIN` should also have a DNS A record for `*.test.example.com`
which points to the same server so that the test suite can deploy apps freely.
It's advised that you re-use the same server and therefore the same Traefik
deployment for running your integration tests. The test suite does not deploy
Traefik for you. Then you'll have more stable results.

## Installer script source
02/2023: We've seen reports that `abra` under [WSL](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/about) doesn't work due to an underlying bug in Docker context handling. See [`coop-cloud/organising#406`](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/organising/issues/406) and [`docker/for-win#13180`](https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/13180) for more. However, this might be fixed with newer versions of Docker.
You can view that [here](https://git.coopcloud.tech/toolshed/abra/src/branch/main/scripts/installer/installer).
## Installer prerequisites
* `tar`
* `wget`
* `curl` (only if using `curl` method below)
## Stable release

There are a few ways to get started, here are some entrypoints listed below:
- If you're new around here and you'd like to learn how to deploy apps with `abra`, then a good place to start is the [new operators tutorial](/operators/tutorial). If you've already deployed some apps and would like to learn how to maintain them, then the [operators handbook](/operators/handbook) is the right place.

title: Recipes
---
_Recipes_ are what we call the configuration file used to deploy apps with our `abra` CLI tool. A longer explanation is in the [glossary](/intro/glossary#recipe). Our _Catalogue_ is a web interface for exploring the currently available configurations, therefore which apps can be deployed.
### Catalogue
Our catalogue is located at [recipes.coopcloud.tech](https://recipes.coopcloud.tech/) and regularly updated :cooking:
[Browse Our Recipes](https://recipes.coopcloud.tech/){ .md-button .md-button--primary }
The catalogue is a helpful place to easily understand the status of app recipes and the link to the source-code of the recipe. To understand the various scores on recipes, read further.
## Status, Features, Score
Each recipe `README.md` has a "metadata" section, to help communicate the overall status of the recipe, and which features are supported. Here's an example, from [the Wordpress recipe](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/wordpress/):
```
<!-- metadata -->
* **Category**: Apps
* **Status**: 3, stable
* **Image**: [`wordpress`](https://hub.docker.com/_/wordpress), 4, upstream
* **Healthcheck**: Yes
* **Backups**: Yes
* **Email**: 3
* **Tests**: 2
* **SSO**: No
<!-- endmetadata -->
```
Currently, recipe maintainers need to update the scores in this section manually. The specific meanings of the scores are:
### Status (overall score)
| Score | Description |
| ----- | ------------------------------------ |
| [5](#){ .md-score .md-score-5 } | Everything in 4 + Single-Sign-On |
| [4](#){ .md-score .md-score-4 } | Upstream image, backups, email, healthcheck, integration testing |
| [3](#){ .md-score .md-score-3 } | Upstream image, missing 1-2 items from 4 |
| [2](#){ .md-score .md-score-2 } | Missing 3-4 items from 4 or no upstream image |
| [1](#){ .md-score .md-score-1 } | Alpha |
### Image
| Score | Description |
| ----- | ------------------------------------ |
| 4 | Official upstream image |
| 3 | Semi-official / actively-maintained image |
| 2 | 3rd-party image |
| 1 | Our own custom image |
### Email
| Score | Description |
| ----- | ------------------------------------ |
| 3 | Automatic (using environment variables) |
| 2 | Mostly automatic |
| 1 | Manual |
| 0 | None |
| N/A | App doesn't send email |
### CI (Continuous Integration)
| Score | Description |
| ----- | ------------------------------------ |
| 3 | As 2, plus healthcheck |
| 2 | Auto secrets + networks |
| 1 | Basic deployment using `stack-ssh-deploy`, manual secrets + networks |
| 0 | None |
### Single-Sign-On
| Score | Description |
| ----- | ------------------------------------ |
| 3 | Automatic (using environment variables) |
| 2 | Mostly automatic |
| 1 | Manual |
| 0 | None |
| N/A | App doesn't support SSO |
## Requesting Recipes
If you'd like to see a new recipe packaged there are two options for you. First is to contribte one as a _Maintainer_
The second option is to make a request on the [`recipes-wishlist`](https://git.coopcloud.tech/toolshed/recipes-wishlist) repository issue tracker.
If no one is around to help, you can always take a run at it yourself, go to the [Maintainers](/maintainers/) section to help you on your way.
<div class="grid cards" markdown>
- __Contribute Recipes__
Do you not see the recipe for the app you use or make? We especially love recipe maintainers :heart:
[Create a Recipe](/maintainers/){ .md-button .md-button--primary }
- __Request A Recipe__
Don't feel up to the task? Open an issue in the `recipes-wishlist` repository
[Request Recipe](https://git.coopcloud.tech/toolshed/recipes-wishlist){ .md-button .md-button--primary }
</div>
We've seen nice things happen when the requesters are also willing to take an active role in testing the new recipe. Teaming up with whoever volunteers to help do the packaging is best.

This appears to be an upstream issue for which we can't do much in `abra` to solve. See [`coop-cloud/organising#420`](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/organising/issues/420) for more info. The work-around is to leave more time in between undeploy/deploy operations so the runtime can catch up.

## Caller path in debug stacktrace doesn't exist
Debug stacktrace currently begins with `/drone/` due to CI. Remove the initial `/drone/` and the path is relative to the abra project root.
## "Failed to select default branch"
General speaking, this error should not happen in the > v0.10.x `abra` version series. You can try upgrading if you're on an old version: `abra upgrade`.
If you're really stuck, `rm -rf`'ing the relevant recipe repository and catalogue might do the trick.
```
$ abra app new foobar
FATA[0000] unable to validate recipe: failed to select default branch in /root/.abra/catalogue
$ rm -rf ~/.abra/recipes/foobar ~/.abra/catalogue

Otherwise, you can try manually cloning the recipe repository to the correct location.

## Migration guides
> General release notes are [here](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/abra/releases/)
> General release notes are [here](https://git.coopcloud.tech/toolshed/abra/releases/)
### `0.9.x-beta` -> `0.10.x-beta`
* `abra` will now write the app deployment version to the app env file
(`$ABRA_DIR/servers/<server>/<domain>.env`) against the `TYPE=/RECIPE=` env
var. This has a number of implications which are detailed in the [release
announcement post](https://coopcloud.tech/blog/new-year-status-update-25/).
The current `v0.9.x` series of `abra` will not be able to parse this version.
So, if you're testing the release candidate, you might to clean up your
`.env` files afterwards.
* We have finally migrated from [`urfave/cli`](https://github.com/urfave/cli)
to [`spf13/cobra`](https://cobra.dev) as our command-line handling library.
This means we should (hopefully!) not have to deal with so many command-line
breaking changes in the future, e.g. how `--` is handled, how flags/args are
parsed and so on. We expect to maintain compatibility across this migration,
however you might run into something we didn't expect. Please do let us know.
* `spf13/cobra` does not support "shorthand" flags with multiple characters.
So, the shorthard flags for `--git-name` / `--git-email` on `abra recipe new`
are now `-N` / `-e` respectively.
* Auto-completion for `abra` is handled differently now. See `abra autocomplete
--help` for more. The full help output is available for each specific shell,
e.g. `abra autocomplete zsh --help`. It is now generated on the fly.
* Several commands now make use of the `--chaos/-C` commands, such as `abra app
ps` and `abra app cp`. See `--help` for more.
* `+ unstaged changes` is shown as `+U` in the overviews. This change was made
to support more compact display layouts. This marker will always be shown in
bold (**+U**) as a visual aid.
* `abra` will no longer attempt to parse your `~/.ssh/config`. This means that
whatever you configure in your `~/.ssh/config` is the source of truth and
`abra` does not try to guess connection details. `abra` now *only* invokes
`/usr/bin/ssh`. This also means that `--problems/-p` goes away on `abra
server list`.
* `abra app backup` / `abra app restore` now officially use
[`backup-bot-two`](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/backup-bot-two)! We
are still discussing how to handle this transition wrt. the original
`backup-bot`. Please see [this
ticket](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/backup-bot/issues/5) for more.
* `--no-domain-checks` has been removed from `abra server add`. See
[`#631`](https://git.coopcloud.tech/toolshed/organising/issues/631) for more.
* The output of `abra app ps` is less redundant in order to 1) reduce how much
horizontal width is required to render the table and 2) simplify the amount
of information shown. The `-w` option was also retired, you can use the
standard `watch` command, e.g. `watch abra app ps ...` to get the same
functionality.
* Several overview screens have changed their layout. E.g. `abra app deploy`
now shows more (hopefully!) useful information. These changes have been made
to accomodate the work done around operator collaboration and stable
versioning.
* `abra app deploy` / `upgrade` / `rollback` / etc. now show the deployment
progress, retry attempts and the healthcheck status.
* Failed deployments will write output logs to file in `~/$ABRA_DIR/logs`.
* `abra app errors` went away. It never really worked and was retired. You can
rely on `abra app logs` for the time being.
* It's not possible to `--chaos/-C` on `upgrade` / `rollback`. See
[`#559`](https://git.coopcloud.tech/toolshed/organising/issues/559) for
more.
* `main` will be chosen for new repositories created by `abra`. `abra` will
also attempt to clone the `main` branch first instead of the `master` branch.
The `master` branch is tried afterwards. This is mainly due to the fact that
the majority of our recipes use the `main` branch.
* `abra recipe fetch` now accepts an `--all` flag to fetch all repositories.
* It's now possible to set the character charset for a password. See
[`#521`](https://git.coopcloud.tech/toolshed/abra/issues/521) for more.

title: Code of Co-operation
---
> Huge thanks to the folks at [Varia](https://varia.zone/) &
> [LURK](https://lurk.org) who carefully prepared wonderful Code of Conduct
> documents which we have adapted for our needs (with permission). See the
> original documents [here](https://varia.zone/en/pages/code-of-conduct.html)
> and [there](https://lurk.org/TOS.txt).
Co-op Cloud is used by several communities coming from a variety of cultural,
ethnic and professional backgrounds. We strive for to be welcoming to people of
these various backgrounds and provide a non-toxic and harassment-free
environment.
The Code of Conduct is a set of guidelines that help establish shared values
and ensure that behaviour that may harm participants is avoided.
We acknowledge that we come from different backgrounds and all have certain
biases and privileges. Therefore, this Code of Conduct cannot account for all
the ways that people might feel excluded, unsafe or uncomfortable. We commit to
open dialogues, and as such this Code of Conduct is never finished and should
change whenever needed. We amend this document over time so it reflects the
priorities and sensitivities of the community as it changes.
It is a collective responsibility for all of us to enact the behaviour
described in this document.
## Expected behaviour
We expect each other to:
### Be considerate...
...of each other, the space we enter, the Co-op Cloud community and the
practices that it houses.
### Be open and generous...
...while trying not to make assumptions about others. This can include
assumptions about identity, knowledge, experiences or preferred pronouns. Be
generous with our time and our abilities, when we are able to. Help others, but
ask first. There are many ways to contribute to a collective practice, which
may differ from our individual ways.
### Be respectful...
...of different viewpoints and experiences. Respect physical and emotional
boundaries. Be respectful of each others' limited time and energy. Take each
other and each other's practices seriously. Acknowledge that this might lead to
disagreement. However, disagreement is no excuse for poor manners.
### Be responsible....
...for the promises we make, meaning that we follow up on our commitments. We
take responsibility for the good things we do, but also for the bad ones. We
listen to and act upon respectful feedback. We correct ourselves when
necessary, keeping in mind that the impact of our words and actions on other
people doesn't always match our intent.
### Be dedicated...
...which means not letting the group happen to us, but making the group
together. We participate in the group with self-respect and don't exhaust
ourselves. This might mean saying how we feel, setting boundaries, being clear
about our expectations. Nobody is expected to be perfect in this community.
Asking questions early avoids problems later. Those who are asked should be
responsive and helpful.
### Be empathetic...
..by actively listening to others and not dominating discussions. We give each
other the chance to improve and let each other step up into positions of
responsibility. We make room for others. We are aware of each other's feelings,
provide support where necessary, and know when to step back. One's idea of
caring may differ from how others want to be cared for. We ask to make sure
that our actions are wanted.
### Foster an inclusive environment...
...by trying to create opportunities for others to express views, share skills
and make other contributions. Being together is something we actively work on
and requires negotiation. We recognize that not everyone has the same
opportunities, therefore we must be sensitive to the context we operate in.
There are implicit hierarchies that we can challenge, and we should strive to
do so. When we organize something (projects, events, etc.), we think about how
we can consider degrees of privilege, account for the needs of others, promote
an activist stance and support other voices.
## Unacceptable behaviour
### No structural or personal discrimination
Attitudes or comments promoting or reinforcing the oppression of any groups or
people based on gender, gender identity and expression, race, ethnicity,
nationality, sexuality, sexual orientation, religion, disability, mental
illness, neurodiversity, personal appearance, physical appearance, body size,
age, or class. Do not claim “reverse-isms”, for example “reverse racism”.
### No harrassment
Neither public nor private. Also no deliberate intimidation, stalking,
following, harassing photography or recording, disruption of events,
aggressive, slanderous, derogatory, or threatening comments online or in person
and unwanted physical or electronic contact or sexual attention. No posting or
disseminating libel, slander, or other disinformation.
### No violation of privacy
Namely publishing others private information, such as a physical or electronic
address, without explicit permission. Do not take or publish photos or
recordings of others after their request to not do so. Delete recordings if
asked.
### No unwelcome sexual conduct
Including unwanted sexual language, imagery, actions, attention or advances.
### No destructive behaviour
Or any other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate. This
includes (but is not exclusive to) depictions of violence without content
warnings, consistently and purposely derailing or disrupting conversations, or
other behaviour that persistently disrupts the ability of others to engage in
the group or space.
## Intervention procedure
**Immediate intervention (help is needed now!)**
If you are feeling unsafe, you can immediately contact the Co-op Cloud members
who are tasked with making sure the code of co-operation is respected.
These contact people are members of Co-op Cloud who will do their best to help,
or to find the correct assistance if relevant/necessary. Here is the list so
far. If you would like to help in this task, please also feel free to volunteer
to be a support member.
> handle: `sordidwhiskey` contact:
> [helo@coopcloud.tech](mailto:helo@coopcloud.tech) handle: `3wc` contact:
> [helo@coopcloud.tech](mailto:helo@coopcloud.tech)
For example, something happened during a still-ongoing online event and needs
to be acted upon right away. Action is taken immediately when this violation of
the code of co-operation is reported. This could involve removing an attendee
from said event.
## Non-immediate intervention (a situation that requires more time)
Other violations need to be considered and consulted upon with more people or
in a more measured way. For example: If you experience an ongoing pattern of
harrassment; if you witness structurally unacceptable behaviour; if somebody
keeps "accidentally" using discriminatory language, after being asked to stop.
If you feel comfortable or able, discuss the issues with the involved parties
before consulting a mediator. We prefer to constructively resolve disagreements
together and work to right the wrong, when it is possible and safe to do so.
However, if the problems still persist, those who are responsible for enforcing
the code of co-operation can help you deal with these kinds of problems.
Contact the members listed above. Information will be handled with sensitivity.

# Co-op Cloud Federation Meeting 2023-05-03
Notes from last meeting: https://docs.coopcloud.tech/federation/minutes/2022-03-03/
Metadata
* Time / date: May 3 @ 1500-1630 UTC https://time.is/0330PM_3_May_2023_in_UTC
* Location: https://meet.jit.si/coop-cloud-federation-meeting
* Attending: Autonomic (trav, 3wc), Local-IT (yksflip, Moritz), decentral1se (🐺 /free agent)
* Facilitation: Calix
* Notes: trav
Agenda
_(All times UTC, as sharp as possible)_
* Introductions / checkins (5m)
* How you're doing
* Which organisation are you attached to? (if applicable)
* a fun (or terrible) Co-op Cloud experience you've had recently
* Packaging Rustdesk server 🥳
* Realising backupbot labels didn't work 😱
* Upgrading with missing backups 😅 Deployed 18-20 apps at once, wrote a script 🤯
* Immovable force meets unstoppable bug, no deployments ⛔
* Decisions - what passed, any new proposals? (10m) https://docs.coopcloud.tech/federation/resolutions/
* we review the existing resolutions
* Resolution 005 / process
* trav: sticking to 2 week deadline for proposals?
* d1: there was a meeting where we talked about it being a small decision but then it became medium. G
* trav: ahh mixups happen, I don't feel strongly ultimately.
* yksflip: maybe check-in with cas but call it passed (?). 2 weeks is a good amount of time but can understand you'd want to move on more quickly.
* 3wc: 2 week default good. Very async coordination, espeically if folks have to go back to their co-op to check-in. Fewer people will see it the shorter it is.
* Moritz: how to know size of the decision?
* 3wc: smallest decision size that seems fair.
* d1 in chat: 'who is affected by the decision'
* d1: 2 weeks seems good, simpler to stick to that going forward. Super duper emergency budget
* What does the second point of Resolution 004 mean
* 3wc: first Budget is a budget for these meetings.
* Superduperemergencybudget
* Trav: For emergency work?
* d1: yes, but the part that's missing is to know what is super duper emergency. There are a lot of P1 bugs but they're not all show-stoppers. There are a number of things that need to be fixed quicker than 2 weeks
* 3wc: emergency firefighter. Up to whoever proposes the budget as to what the structure would look like.
* abra fixes Budget / proposal thingy
* https://pad.autonomic.zone/Fp6Zi846TNqATulYFqcJqw
* d1: if this was proposed today, wait 2 weeks and then I'd fix them. Or standing budget?
* trav: suggestion is wait 2 weeks then implement? or agree standing budget?
* 3wc: yes, but also passing emergency budget would also take 2 weeks, no?
* d1: propose this and do 10 hours or do a "10 hours" proposal and fit this into it. Not show-stopping bugs but 2 weeks wont kill us.
* trav: might be worth passing 10h/mo, something/month for fixes, maintenance / emergency. non-binding poll / gitea voting → what to work on. vs having to package bug work together. less bureaucracy.
* d1: can re-work decision 6 into a maintenance budget. Curious how we want to bubble-up the bugs. Board? Label?
* yksflip: standing maintenance makes sense to me.
* federation bootstrap funds 🤑
* trav: there's money leftover from donor
* d1: 6k in the pot, get the work funded.
* trav: buffer tho?
* Moritz: I'm paid from Local IT. How to decide who is doing which fixes?
* d1: people tend to do stuff they want to see done. Some way to share would be good....?
* 3wc: tags. Tickets labeled as part of maintenance budget. If assigned to someone, they are point person. Plot twist: time expectation. Someone takes something on and it's unclear when that's going to happen. Claim things for up to a week or 2 but don't claim it until you're ready to work on it.
* ** we love it **
* **d1 to roll into maintenance proposal**
* doop coop dues waiver https://pad.autonomic.zone/xgd7lLxzT520O4KRXuWyuQ#
* 3wc: yusef posted, side project, low income, would like to participate. 1 year waiver of dues. They seem enthusiastic and helpful person to be around.
* trav: can decide now? " Individuals/groups wanting to join Co-op Cloud who arent able to make a financial contribution may request a solidarity free membership." doesn't say how to make decision
* d1: medium seems fine
* Moritz: instead of dues perhaps doing some abra fixes
* Philip: agree on waiving fees for them. How to define time to spend on project. Alternative membership fee, donate time?
* 3wc: part of inspiration for fedration is Co-op Cycle: too complicated to track work and money. Have to track money so wont track work. Like the simplicity. Wage is €20/h, in-kind work contribution would be 30 minutes of work contribution per month.
* d1: reflecting on unions etc, pay dues and also contribute. Something to think about.
* Checkouts
didn't get to:
* Breakout groups?
* Software tools
* Finances
* Outreach
* Development
* next meeting? Is it monthly? I forget.

# Co-op Cloud Federation meeting 2024-02
Date poll: https://crab.fit/coop-cloud-federation-february-2024-576238
Previous notes: https://docs.coopcloud.tech/federation/minutes/2023-05-03/
## Agenda
- check-in
- name
- pronouns
- organisation
- how we're feeling
- anything we want to get out of today
- emotional support for abra bugs
- missed october 2023 membership dues review ([R002](https://docs.coopcloud.tech/federation/resolutions/passed/002/)), what now?
- [backup restore / testing update](https://pad.riseup.net/p/UEC2JUPGb6tmRCZ7RX9X-keep)
- collective abra next release planning
- ✅ bonfire co-op network hosting proposal
- ✅ next meeting
- check-out
- how was the meeting?
- recommendations for next meeting
- what are you doing for the rest of the day?
## Notes
Here: Calix, Mayel, Moritz, p4u1, d1
Facilitating: Calix
Notes: Mayel
- local-it has test framework with Playwright to test deployment, eg. testing customised configs or modified recipes - not testing app functionality but rather customisation or integrations between apps, eg. SSO - so can check if an upgrade would break - would be nice to integrate the tests into the recipes to they can be linked to the version (ie. update recipe when updating a recipe/app) - in future want to automate into CI (eg drone runner) to auto-update recipes and check for failure - will publish test framework next week on coopcloud gitea - run them first on test deployments to check in advance if update works but also then run in prod to make sure thing runs correctly in prod (eg. if email notifs are working in each app) - this does require extra thinking (eg. deleting data created by tests)
- sounds really cool! going to look into playwright. could be handy for federated apps
- sounds like something that orgs like nlnet may fund, maybe can merge these into a proposal to fund this + the more boring coopcloud maintainance
## organise meeting schedule
- would be nice to find a regular rythm for federation meetings instead of needing date polls
- same time? once a month?
- in social.coop TWG they've been getting 2-3 people showing up, maybe just because haven't polled for new regular meeting time for a while
- need someone with capacity to organise (coordination role), whether it's setting up poll or prompting people to join, to get us all in the room
- will someone set up a date poll for march? or re. meeting frequency / how we decide -> Moritz volunteered
### bonfire co-op network hosting proposal
- https://bonfirenetworks.org/hosting/
what co-op cloud combined with servers.coop would do. idea comes from a need from bonfire team, people who are looking to adopt bonfire, individuals, small collectives, large organisations who might not have tech savvy to set up and maintain own hosting / instances, would rather have as a service .. but we decided early on we didn't want to offer hosting ourselves. and we don't want to host any flagship instances (because centralisation). calls for easy way for people to set up and maintain instances. not just infrastructure, labour, savvy, mnaintenance and support, backups. like community-supported agriculture, "community-supported software" = community gets a say in software, have a say in prioritising. large part of funds goes into infra and labour of maintaining / operating. split among participants.
last funding from NLNet, included milestone. prototype instance setup wizard and management dashboard. €3k to start. small tech component, organisational and infra.
what would m like from CC at this stage?
participants help with prototyping
start small - organisational & infrastructural side is
communities already want instances!
not setup wizard required, just send us an email etc. do it by hand
budget avail now
one group focused on open science, one on digital radios, online communities around music. possibilities of them finding grants, other sources of income. donations from community members? assume = there would be funds eventually. might have to be a bit of upfront freebie service, especially as we're prototyping. closed beta as we're trying things out.
### missed october 2023 membership dues
- we were going to review who's paying, how's the amount. we didn't! what to do.
### backup restore / testing update
- after meeting about backup bot in januarry, need to document what already exists and what has been decided, there was a proposal - will followup async
### collective abra next release planning
- some are in process of improving backup/restore (still WIP) and some bugs were also found, so now it's difficult to make a release - many are self-building abra so not an issue for them, but would be good to make a plan first (next time) to avoid large refactors that block releases
- also plan around how long features take to implement, maybe during federation meetings
- proposal for next abra release: some bugs are fixed in main branch but release blocked by backup stuff, so could create a new branch from point where backup stuff was not merged and create release from there, so don't need to worry about incomplete backup stuff, should be pretty easy, that way can finish backup with no rush
- if we do so, need 1 or 2 people to run integration tests + fix any bugs that appear and then do the release - ideally 1 person who has released before (d1 volunteers) + another who hasn't (p4u1 volunteers)
## check out
- in future need to talk about how long meeting can go before starting + agenda prioritisation

## Notes
### Checking in
d1: last release was gnarly, was tired but now looking forward to coordinating new release
mo: travelling, pretty busy, alakazam presentation/docs/feedback energies
p4: release hell, good progress, happy to see automation for new release. backupbot spec is underway, to discuss soon...
### Release planning
Note about previous release: goreleaser refused to to release on a branch previously, so we reverted the backup changes and reverted the revert after the release
#### Catalogue
why catalogue?
- advantage: git repository
- disadvantage: overhead, CI/CD system, people don't understand it, several bugs
proposal: rely on tags in the repository. clone everything to .abra/recipes/... pull tags locally on-the-fly.
if i create a new version of a recipe, the catalogue is not even at all. it just looks locally. the update happens afterwards
precomputing means saving resources later on
With the operator collaboration topic, it will be possible to specificy an app recipe with a git location, it is then possible to skip the catalogue.
https://git.coopcloud.tech/toolshed/organising/issues/533#issuecomment-19038
recipes.coopcloud.tech (the Elm app) is reading the JSON
in an ideal post-catalogue abra, you could just ref a git org where `RECIPE=<recipe>` would find `https://git.example.com/<org>/<recipe>` and even `RECIPE=<org>/<recipe>`
Backwards compatiblibility will be key. For next next release 🎉
#### Automation test suite
Computing power from somewhere? Local-IT doing migration atm so not ideal timing. Maybe again after a month or so, can check-in again then.
Can also ask Autonomic and/or whoever else feels like they can help.
#### Cli Argument Handling
https://git.coopcloud.tech/toolshed/organising/issues/581
Upgrade to `urfave/cli` version 2 will enforce `abra app command command [command options] <domain> [<service>] <command> [-- <args>]`
Maybe we need a poll to see how people are using it? `@mo` using the strict format anyway, `@d1` not minding, `@p4` in favour...
adding a good/clear warning/error that if using e.g. `--chaos` on the end, it's not possible anymore...
> How do you use flag options (e.g. `--chaos`) with Abra?
> At the beginning: abra app deploy --chaos app.example.com
> At the end: abra app deploy app.example.com --chaos
> How annoyed will you be if, we enforce it at the beginning?
> Not annoyed
> Slighty annoyed
> Very annoyed
> If you are *annoyed, what can we do to help this process? e.g. docs, warning, etc.
Decision vs. poll? It's not really a choice. the lib is broken / enforces this. its ambigous now and just causes issues / questions / confusion.
Hack to re-order options transparently? Some pre-processor which would special case the `[-- ARGS]` for `abra app cmd`.
Doing it one way is just clear for everyone.
Plan: make proposal, get votes. if voted against, try to make new with adaptions / more work/money etc. but compromises with needs. (TODO: `@d1`)
Btw emoji polls are actually broken for some clients 😱
### Fedi process reforms
https://git.coopcloud.tech/toolshed/organising/issues/579
- pay yearly dues or get waiver (don't pay)
- actively participate in voting
- actively participate in monthly federation meetings. if you can't make it, please send your updates by text
- agree to code of conduct
exit criteria?
- no yearly dues arragement
- no/less voting/participation in meetings
TODO: proposal, pass, check in with people in the "exit criteria" area, are they OK?
### Goals of Federation?
- what is the purpose of the fedi?
- in relation to theory, ideology, strategy
- Co-op Cloud Conf !!!
- let's think about this and check back in
### Next meeting
`@mo` does next poll

* Call: https://talk.local-it.org/rooms/nyy-z5y-yrh-sc2/join
* Present: Local IT (moritz), EOTL (BaseBuilder, blu), BeWater(d1), Autonomic (Lai), Klasse & Methode (p4u1)
## Agenda
### First
* Fixed monthly Federation meeting (3rd Mon, etc) `@basebuilder`
* Project re-organisation (recipes, tools, fedi repos) `@d1`
* Backup specification `@p4u1`
### The Rest
* Non-Federation tasks specific bounty / funding `@basebuilder`
* Website and docs work to better showcase federation - `@kawaiipunk`
* https://git.coopcloud.tech/toolshed/organising/milestone/43
* Recipe maintainence proposal - `@kawaiipunk`
* "Hacking velocity = slow & money" (RE: recent fedi orga chat) `@d1`
* Continuing budget 001 for meeting attendance, resolution 004 technically only covered 6 months to oct 2023 `@3wc` (but I won't be there)
## Notes
### Fixed monthly Federation meeting (3rd Mon, etc)
Talked about it couple of times, back and forth.
- People who want to do regular can do that
- Other people can do polled meeting
- Poll every month is time consuming
- Timezones is an issue
Poll options for meeting
1. fix time/date every month
1. fixed time/date with timezone wraparound (can be merged with 1. :)
1. flexible every month (poll)
1. fixed week with poll (day of week, crab.fit)
> crab.fit - software with heatmap of availability
### Project re-organisation (recipes, tools, fedi repos)
Problem: All projects are under one organisation (coop-cloud). Abra has to do a lot of work to figure out what is a recipe repo and what not. This got fixed but made recipe generation really slow
Proposal: 3 Organisations in gitea:
- Recipes
- Tools
- Projects
What to look out for:
- Redirects (mainly for recipes)
- SSH will break though -> could make a migration script for that?
https://git.coopcloud.tech/toolshed/organising/milestone/45
https://git.coopcloud.tech/toolshed/organising/issues/569
Maybe "tools" / "projects" not needed, only "recipes" / "other".
### Backup Specification
Needing to write operators and matainers guide
- [ ] should abra implement backup and restore or only provide an integration?
- [ ] should we add a specification version?

# Coopcloud Meeting August
## Agenda
* Federation Stuff / Current state
* Funding for Maintenance work
* Design Operator Collaboration https://git.coopcloud.tech/toolshed/organising/issues/467
* HOWTO finish Restore https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/backup-bot-two/issues/42
### Introductions
- Moritz (Local IT): merging with Make IT Social (another collective), Maintanining Recipes, Maintainig Backupbot, Small fixes in the abra tool
- p4u1 (Klasse & Methode): maybe starting a workers collective, maintaning some recipes and created a new one (for internal use for now), introduces abra config and a step towards operator collaboration
- basebuilder (eotl): deep in eotl, trying to get stable releases out, abra recipes for both exists, in november / december some spare cycles for coopcloud, nlnet grant was rejected
### Funding Maintenance Work
a good idea by d1, would be nice if we can get one or two persons to commit to this. local it might have some resource at the end of the year. could also fund people for just one or two months (instead of per feature)
5000€ in bank account. 10 hrs for orga and 20 hrs for hacking = 600€. would result into about 8 months paid work
- write a propsal @p4u1
- ask people if they can commit @everyone asks in their collective
### Backupbot
- spec: https://git.coopcloud.tech/toolshed/docs.coopcloud.tech/pulls/258
- what to do if multiple backupbot.backup=false / true
- backupbot will ignore false if true was set
- add recipe lint
- How to enable / disable per app
- backupbot.backup=${BACKUPBOT_ENABLE:-true}
- Backup can't be used without backupbot
- it's ok for now, can also implement it later
- Whats left
- restore and some backup labels
- restore is tryicky to implement automatically
- for database e.g. other connections to it should be stopped
- backwards compatible?
- introduce a new version label
- moritz is going to implement the specification
### Next Meeting
- @moritz poll for lasst 2 weeks in september

Welcome to the organisers guide! Organisers are folks who focus on the social work in the project. Speaking for the project at talks, helping new tech co-ops & collectives join, keeping an eye out for funding opportunities, seeing what things come up in the community chats, etc. It's important work.

## Kite Flying Hours
The "Kite Flying Hour" is a weekly public moment where anyone can "drop by" into a Jitsi call and ask/do/propose whatever and meet some people who are currently working on the project. We haven't worked it all out but our process for now is the following.
Someone from Autonomic will volunteer to be present and talk about the project for an hour weekly, alternating between 12 and 19 UTC each week. We announce the hour via our socials: A [pinned toot](https://social.coop/@coopcloud/113555815289767778) on [`@coopcloud@social.coop`](https://social.coop/@coopcloud) and a post to the `#coopcloud:autonomic.zone` room.
Here is some invitation boilerplate which you can use:
> Hey folks, you're all warmly invited to the Co-op Cloud Kite Flying Hour at `$X_TIME` `$Y_TZ` `$Z_DATE` over in [vs.autistici.org/CoopCloudKiteFlyingHour](https://vs.autistici.org/CoopCloudKiteFlyingHour)!
>
> Inspired by exquisite childhood memories of [flying kites, eating popsicles and looking at clouds](https://norwichhistory.org/norwich-a-z-j-is-for-jigsaw/), it's an open hour to come hang out online and discuss/co-work/lurk/etc. around the [Co-op Cloud](https://coopcloud.tech/) project.
>
> There are no "stupid questions"! It's a space to inquire, be curious and have a good time and get to know each other.
>
> We take notes and doodle on [this collaboratively editable pad](https://pad.autonomic.zone/VtyrLUl9RWaJGgEDrncQUw). If you don't have time to attend, feel free to drop your questions and some contact details also, so we can get in touch. This is only the first Kite Flying Hour in a recurring series of Kite Flying Hours.

# Co-op Cloud resolution 030: docs / naming survey
- Topic: Budget for a survey about the Co-op Cloud documentation
- Date: 2025-04-03
- Deadline: 2025-04-17
- Size: large
## Summary
Allocate up to €160 for the production and analysis of a survey to get feedback on the Co-op Cloud documentation (https://docs.coopcloud.tech), with a particular focus on the "operator" and "maintainer" names.
Optional feedback on what docs example survey takers think we could benefit from observing and/or an optional description of how documentation can be improved in general will be present but not necessary acted on as part of this resolution.
## Details
- We've received some feedback that the key "Operators" and "Maintainers" names can be confusing, especially for non-native-English speakers
- We're interested in getting wide input, from both the existing Co-op Cloud community, and the wider democratic tech space -- including from people unfamiliar with Co-op Cloud
- As well as specific input on this naming question, it would also be useful to gather general feedback on the documentation, collecting suggestions on structure, clarity, format (including potential other media like screencasts, videos, or educational materials)
Our rough plan / budget for this work is:
- collecting information 1-2h
- design survey 1-2h
- distribute survey 1-2h
- analyse survey 1-2h
- 4-8 hours
## Budget 0YY: Docs / naming survey
* Budget amount: up to EUR 160
* Who will implement this: 3wordchant & Ammar
* When will the money be spent: in Q1 2025
* What is the money for: paying for work on a community survey about the Co-op Cloud documentation

title: "Resolution 031"
---
- Topic: Critical fixes amended process
- Date: 2025-06-10
- Deadline: 2025-06-24
- Size: Medium
### Summary
This resolution proposes specific changes to [`R010: Budget 004: Critical
fixes`](../passed/010.md). These changes are primarily intended to improve
transparency and match our new organising methods.
## Details
Ammendments are as follows.
1. "Confirmation from at least one other member": should be confirmed on the
issue itself and not in the Matrix chat. It is suggested to indicate this
when posting in the Matrix chat (aka "Please +1 on the issue itself").
1. "A fix is deemed critical": when it is marked with the label "critical fix".
There is no specific project tracker for only these issues. This label can
be re-used across repositories also.
### R010 in full
> We propose to have a standing budget of 10 hrs / month available for fixes in Abra, Co-op Cloud recipes and other critical tools (e.g. recipes.coopcloud.tech) in the Co-op Cloud ecosystem.
>
> A fix is deemed critical when it is listed on this toolshed/organising board:
>
> > https://git.coopcloud.tech/toolshed/organising/projects/24
>
> This board is collectively gardened by Co-op Cloud participants (both federation members and not). The process for adding a ticket to the board requires getting confirmation from at least one other member of the federation.
>
> This budget can be claimed by any volunteer who would like to develop the fix. If the volunteer is not a Co-op Cloud federation member, they must first be "vouched for" by a federation member. This is an informal process which can be arranged via the Matrix chat. This aims to assure agreement on timing and what the fix should contain beforehand.
>
> Fixes can be claimed by assiging yourself to the ticket. If within 1 week there is no updates on the ticket, another volunteer can propose to take over. This process is also informal: please @ the original volunteer and give some reasonable time for them to reply (suggested: 1 day).
>
> If the fix is urgent and things need to move faster, please state so on the ticket. Please consult with at least one other member of the federation to confirm that there is indeed agreement on the urgency of the fix.

- Topic: Budget 10: Abra integration suite automation
- Date: 04-04-2024
- Deadline: 18-04-2024
- Size: Large
### Summary
Motivated by the collective release planning:
[`#583`](https://git.coopcloud.tech/toolshed/organising/issues/583) under
"Automate Integration Test Suite".
The latest `abra` release (`0.9.x`) was heavily delayed due to several issues.
One of those was the need to fix the integration test suite which wasn't run in
some time. Many breakages had crept into the test suite over time. This can
avoided in the future by automating the running of the integration test suite.
This proposal describes a way to do this and includes a budget for doing so.
### Details (Budget 10)
The `abra` test suite takes around 1.30 hrs to run on a modest machine.
Therefore, we propose to run it only once daily. Some parts of the tests are
slow, fast and only a few require public DNS. This means we can break up the
tests and run them in separate "builds" to speed things up. This involves some
research & experimentation.
A server has been provided by `@mirsal` on donation (💘). This machine will be
be wiped clean each day (`docker <command> prune ....`) and will have the usual
DNS machinery attached to it, e.g. `int.coopcloud.tech`, `*.int.coopcloud.tech`.
Once that is all wired up, we can implement the CI/CD configuration to make the
test suite run automatically once a day. This will be triggered via the
`.drone.yml` in the `abra` Git repository.
Budget details:
| Item | Cost | Who? |
| ---- | ---- | ---- |
| Server | Free (on donation) | `@mirsal` |
| Server setup & docs | 1 hour | `@d1` |
| R & D for breaking up tests | 5 hours | `@d1` |
| Implementing CI/CD configs | 10 hours | `@d1` |
**Total: 16 hrs * 20 EUR = 320 EUR**

- Topic: Budget 011: Migrate to Cobra
- Date: 22-07-2024
- Deadline: 31-07-2024
- Size: Large
### Summary
Migrate away from our current command-line dependency so `abra` usage is more predictable. The goal is to maintain feature parity with no breaking changes. The main advantage that we will get is robust and flexible handling of flags/arguments which don't depend on forcing a specific order (see [`#581`](https://git.coopcloud.tech/toolshed/organising/issues/581)). There are other bonuses such as built-in support for auto-completion, better handling of example usage, improved support for global flags (`--debug`) and manpage support.
### Details (Budget 011)
#### The problem
The current help output of `abra app deploy` is as follows:
`abra app deploy [command options] <domain> [<version>]`
However, it is possible to do both of the following:
```
abra app deploy --chaos example.org # "before" style
abra app deploy example.org --chaos # "after" style
```
However, `abra app cmd` is broken if you try to use the "after" style:
```
abra app cmd <domain> <function> --local -- <args>
```
This results in `<recipe> doesn't have a --local function` which is a bug in the `abra` code. It tries to read the position of the arguments but `--local` is included as an argument. The bug in `abra` is due to a bug in `urfave/cli` - "after" style options appear as arguments 😱
The only way to use `abra app cmd` right now is using the "before" style:
```
abra app cmd --local <domain> <function> -- <args>
```
This means that some commands allow both "after" and "before" style and some only allow "before" style. This is a source of confusion, raised issues and frustration.
#### The solution
[Several](https://git.coopcloud.tech/toolshed/abra/pulls/404) [attempts](https://git.coopcloud.tech/toolshed/abra/pulls/435) have been made to upgrade `urfave/cli` to fix this behaviour. However, as it turns out, it is **highly unlikely** that they will fix this upstream: [`urfave/cli#1950`](https://github.com/urfave/cli/issues/1950) [`urfave/cli#1928`](https://github.com/urfave/cli/pull/1928) (and even this proposal does not really include the desired robust flexible handling we need).
`@decentral1se` has done a spike to confirm that [`cobra`](https://cobra.dev) handles flexible handling of arguments/flags. Those reading this proposal and wishing to try it out for themselves can take [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/) for a spin (it uses `cobra` as the underlying command-line library).
This tool is well maintained and used by several large projects such as Hugo and Kubernetes. The library matches all functionality we require.
#### Budget
`@decentral1se` can carry out this work.
Proposed budget of 15 hrs: `15 hrs * 20 = 300 EUR`

- Date: 04-09-2024
- Deadline: 18-09-2024
- Size: Large
### Summary
There is general interest in a new public-facing website for Co-op Cloud which can:
- Motivate new helping hands to join in
- Attract diverse funding for the project (which is not based purely on technical implementation)
It hasn't been reworked in quite some time (guestimate: 2 years).
This proposal describes a way to do this and includes a budget for doing so.
### Details (Budget 012)
The current state of the splash page consists of the following contents:
- **Introduction** (Broad explanation)
- **Benefit** (Why use it)
- **Frequently Asked Questions**
- **Groups which use it**
- **Involved groups and funders**
The goal would be to collect feedback from the community and compile it into different requirements and tasks.
We believe the first 2 tasks to get started are as follows:
- **Collect feedback**: Create forms or markdown based questionares and motivate members, users, enthusiasts to answer these.
- **Content architecture**: Design what is written where and why so that visitors can quickly grasp the big picture and get excited about it.
Once feedback and architecture work is wrapped up, we're in a good place to work on the remaining tasks: copywriting, design and finally, the frontend development work. More proposals will follow.

# Resolution 024: Budget: 013: Reintroduce kite-flying
- Topic: Reintroduce paid kite-flying hour
- Date: 2024-10-30
- Deadline: 2024-11-13
- Size: Large
## Summary
Allocate up to €2000 to paying attendees for their presence at weekly "kite-flying hours".
## Details
During the phase of ECF-funded work, Co-op Cloud had "kite-flying hours", an informal weekly call. We stopped doing these at the end of the ECF funding. Currently, our only chance for synchronous check-in with other folks in the Co-op Cloud Community is monthly federation meetings which, as well as only being open to members of the federation, are also proving difficult to organise.
This resolution proposes reintroducing kite-flying hours, initially with a rotating slot that alternates between 12 UTC and 19 UTC on Thursdays in order to accommodate folks in different timezones.
This schedule can be changed as necessary via a Medium decision.
Attendance of kite-flying hours is paid at the standard €20/h rate.
This budget is expected to last around 4.5 months, assuming up to 5 weekly paid attendees at kite-flying sessions.
Time during kite-flying sessions can be spent on anything useful to the Co-op Cloud Federation; some examples could be:
- Co-working, e.g.:
- abra development
- recipe maintenance
- documentation
- funding applications
- writing resolutions
- developing posts for social media, or the website blog
- federation admin (membership, finance)
- infrastructure maintenance
- Welcoming new members of the co-op cloud community
- Supporting community members with technical issues
- Holding informal discussions / polls about any aspect of co-op cloud
### Budget 013: Kite-flying 2024-2025
> **Budget amount:** EUR 2000
>
> **Who will implement this:** 3wordchant
>
> **When will the money be spent:** Until the budget is exhausted; expected to be around the end of March 2025
>
> **What is the money for:** Paying attendees of weekly "kite-flying" sessions
## Questions
3wc: Should this be open to anyone in the community, or just federation members? If it's completely open, are there are any expectations / criteria, or could someone literally get paid to come listen in every week?
KP: I think we just monitor that and if there's any problematic behaviour, we may need to change course.

# Resolution 025 Maintainers Proposal
- Topic: Maintainers Proposal
- Date: 05-12-2024
- Deadline:
- Size: Large
## Summary
Create policies on recipe maintainence that meet industry standards, for example the designation of a recipe as stable or not if the recipe meets certain critera and having named maintainers.
## Details
Currently the CC recipes ecosystem is quite unclear. Some recipes are maintained really well and some are abandoned.
I propose that we adopt a "stable", "testing", "unstable" designation to help organise our recipes internally and present them in a clearer way externally.
We should take influence from the largest democratic software project [Debian](https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.en.html#) and implement a simplifier system of recipe maintainers to help build trust with our community and potential community members.
### Who are maintainers
Maintainers can be either fedi members, community collaborators or organisation collaborators (such as tech co-ops).
Maintainers will need to provide some way of contacting them e.g. and email address or Matrix handle.
Maintainers are welcome to use a handle/alias.
### Stable
"Stable" recipes must meet the following critera:
- Must have at least one named maintainer (handle is fine) with a matrix or email address and that infomation must be kept up to date in the README
- The upstream project must be considered active and able to respond to security issues
- Security issues in the recipe must be patched within one month of discovery
- Merge requests must be responded to with some form of aknowlegement or feedback within one month
- Has been upgraded in the last three months (if appropriate)
- The status score and README of the project should be kept up to date with relevant infomation
### Testing
"Testing" recipes must meet the following critera:
- Must have at least one named maintainer (handle is fine) with a matrix or email address and that infomation must be kept up to date in the README
- The upstream project must be considered active and able to respond to security issues
- Security issues in the recipe must be patched within one month of discovery
### Unstable
"Unstable" recipes must meet the following critera:
- Must have at least one named maintainer (handle is fine) with a matrix or email address and that infomation must be kept up to date in the README
### Unmaintained
If no one claims active responsibility for a recipe, its git repo will be archived and removed from the recipe catalouge.
## Implementation
- Docs updates to include explanations
- Ongoing coworks to add catergories to all recipes
- Package maintenance status will be added to the README metdata on all recipes. Rename existing "Status" to Features, use Status for this maintenance status.
- Add maintenance status to be visible on recipes.coopcloud.tech
- Every three months we go through the recipes and garden the status is and ping maintainers etc.
# Pre-Propose Feedback from community
* ~~Are maintainers community members or fedi members?~~
* ~~Should we add a requirement that stable recipe has to respond to issues and/or PRs within x amount of time?~~
* ~~will there be some form of automated check whether or not a recipe still fulfills a category's criteria?~~
* ~~What happens to recipes not fulfilling any criteria? e.g. having no maintainer. need for another category?~~

- Date: 08-01-2025
- Deadline: 22-01-2025
- Size: Large
### Summary
`@decentral1se` had spoons and cycles from roughly December 27th 2024 - January 5th January to make the final push of development work to get the new `abra` release out.
See the **WIP** [migration docs](https://docs.coopcloud.tech/abra/upgrade/#09x-beta-010x-beta) and [release blogpost](https://pad.local-it.org/G1TOcidEQtyArJU9gI0SDw?both#New-abra-release-candidate) for more information. TLDR; we have a release candidate that you can test today.
In this resolution, budget is being asked to *retroactively* cover this development work as "backpay".
### Details (Budget 014)
An [invoice was submitted already](https://opencollective.com/coop-cloud/expenses/234126) on our Open Collective based on a "fuzzy consensus" within the Co-op Cloud Federation chat. However, on reflection, concerns were raised that it would be better to follow our agreed decision making process and submit a resolution to vote.
There are 15 hours that are covered by [`R021`](https://docs.coopcloud.tech/federation/resolutions/passed/021/). However, the development of this work ran over by 3 hours. The remaining development work took 32 hours. The details of the specific tickets are on the [Open Collective invoice](https://opencollective.com/coop-cloud/expenses/234126). That brings the total amount of hours to 52.
#### Budget
`@decentral1se` has *already* carried out this work.
Proposed budget of 52 hrs * 20 EUR: 1040 EUR

# Resolution 29 Budget 14: Federation Radmin
- Topic: Establish Budget 14, to pay for up to 12 hours a month of "radmin" (radical administration) work, to help the federation run smoother, for an initial period of 12 months.
- Date: 05-04-2025
- Deadline: 19-04-2025
- Size: Large
## Summary
Experience shows that solid administration is the basis for effective self-organisation. We call this "radmin" (radical admin) because this admin work acts as motor which boosts our self-organisation and coordination potential.
We are in a unique position to discuss and implement a financial model which can meet our vision of sustainability based on our democratic structure and decision making process. We believe that it is more important than ever to make software project governance work without dictators. This role plays a critical role in making that possible.
Autonomic has been carrying out the financial administration so far but cannot continue to do this due to low capacity. No other federation member can pick up this work at this time. To make progress, we propose to create a strict mandate for a paid radmin role which will be published as an open call. Anyone can fill this role, claim the budget and support the federation.
Federation members will decide on who fills the role based on an evaluation of the candidates. The open call draft will specify exact details once this decision is approved and will be presented to federation members. The open call will be agreed upon by discussion with fedi members feedback, not decision making.
## Details
### Mandate
* Up to 12 hours a month @ 20 EUR per hour based on the currently available federation membership dues
* Establishing a financial bookkeeping structure for the federation with associated documentation
* Instigating handover from Autonomic finance admin
* Leading a discussion which establishes a shared understanding of what financial sustainability means for the federation today with associated documentation
* Designing and implementing a new federation membership fees system which supports financial sustainability and is passed with a large decision
* Contributing to the Co-op Cloud [wiki](https://docs.coopcloud.tech) (training provided)
* Making sure invoices are submitted correctly and approving them via the Co-op Cloud Open Collective (OC)
* Managing budgets and facilitating timetracking against those budgets (e.g. https://kimai.coopcloud.tech)
* Herding cats
* Timetrack to be done on the activity level via our [Kimai](https://kimai.coopcloud.tech) for accountability
* Invoicing for your time each month to the Co-op Cloud OC
### Extension
**IMPORTANT**: Extensions to this mandate can **only** be established through official decision making process.
We expect that this radmin work will continue to be necessary as long as the federation exists, so it can be a stable source of (some) income in the future.
### Duration
The term duration of this role is 1 year with a start date which will be decided in conversation with the contractor.
### Recall
The term of duration can be recalled by the federation via established decision making channels (large resolution) if issues cannot be resolved through dialogue and constructive feedback.
In the event of recall, there will be a collaborative feedback session between the federation and the contractor with the implementors of this propsal.
### Buddy system
Implementors of this resolution commit to a fixed monthly meeting, date/time to be determined, to check in and discuss challenges, progress, plans etc. This could preferably occur during the [Kite-flying hours (R024)](https://docs.coopcloud.tech/federation/resolutions/passed/024/) unless privacy needs require otherwise.
This is an important accountability structure which is not aimed to surveil the contractor but ensure that both the federation and the radmin role are working well together and where things can be improved, take action together to resolve it.
### Open call
An open call is to be publised based on this proposal and shared openly. The open call will be presented as a draft to federation members before publishing. Exact details of the process, evaluation, start/end date etc. will be included in the text.
## Budget 014
The role is paid primarily from the current membership fees, as decided on [R002](https://docs.coopcloud.tech/federation/resolutions/passed/002/). The hope is that by filling this role, we can increase this budget through the design and implementation of a more sustainable financial model for the federation (see mandate above).
- Budget amount:
- 250 EUR per month (hours for contractor)
- 40 EUR per month (hours for implementors / buddys)
- **Total**: 290 EUR per month
- Who will implement this: decentral1se, kawaiipunk (Autonomic)
- When will the money be spent: On an ongoing basis
- What is the money for: Paying the working hours of whoever fills the role
## Legal
The contractor must function as a freelancer contractor and is responsible for their own invoices and taxes. Currently the Co-op Cloud project is stewarded by Autonomic Co-operative Limited and does not have it's own legal entity, so the freelance contract will be with Autonomic Co-operative Limited.

title: Comparisons
---
We think it's important to understand that *Co-op Cloud* is more than just
software and technical configurations. It is also a novel organization of *how*
to [create technology socially](https://docs.coopcloud.tech/federation).
However, strictly technically speaking you may be wondering:
### 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, Co-op Cloud isn't meant to be a replacement for these other projects.
Here is a short overview of the pros/cons we see, in relation to our goals and needs.
### Cloudron
[Cloudron](https://www.cloudron.io) is complete solution for running apps on your own server
**Pros**
- 👍 Decent web interface for app, domain & user management.
- 👍 Large library of apps.
- 👍 Built-in SSO using LDAP, which is compatible with more apps and often has a better user interface than OAuth.
- 👍 Apps are actively maintained by the Cloudron team.
**Cons**
- 👎 Moving away from open source. The core is now proprietary software.
- 👎 Libre tier has a single app limit.
- 👎 Based on Docker images, not stacks, so multi-process apps (e.g. parsoid visual editor for Mediawiki) are a non-starter.
- 👎 Difficult to extend apps.
- 👎 Only supported on Ubuntu LTS.
- 👎 Upstream libre software communities aren't involved in packaging.
- 👎 Limited to vertical scaling.
- 👎 Tension between needs of hosting provider and non-technical user.
- 👎 LDAP introduces security problems - one vulnerable app can expose a user's password for all apps.
- 👎 Bit of a [black box](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_box).
### YunoHost
[YunoHost](https://yunohost.org) is an operating system aiming for the simplest administration of a server
**Pros**
- 👍 Lovely web interface for app, domain & user management.
- 👍 Bigger library of apps.
- 👍 Awesome backup / deploy / restore continuous integration testing.
- 👍 Supports hosting apps in subdirectories as well as subdomains.
- 👍 Doesn't require a public-facing IP.
- 👍 Supports system-wide mutualisation of resources for apps (e.g. sharing databases by default)
**Cons**
- 👎 Upstream libre software communities aren't involved in packaging.
- 👎 Uninstalling apps leaves growing cruft.
- 👎 Limited to vertical scaling.
- 👎 Not intended for use by hosting providers.
### Caprover
[CapRover](https://caprover.com) is an easy to use app/database deployment & web server manager for applications
**Pros**

- 👍 Easy set-up using a DigitalOcean one-click app.
- 👍 Works without a domain name or a public IP, in non-HTTPS mode (good for homeservers).
- 👍 Deploy any app with a `docker-compose.yml` file as a "One Click App" via the web interface.
- 👍 Multi-node (multi-server) set-up works by default.
**Cons**
- 👎 Single-file app definition format, difficult to tweak using entrypoint scripts.
- 👎 Nginx instead of Traefik for load-balancing.
- 👎 Command-line client requires NodeJS / `npm`.
- 👎 [Requires 512MB RAM for a single app](https://github.com/caprover/caprover/issues/28).
- 👎 [Backup/restore is "experimental"](https://caprover.com/docs/backup-and-restore.html), and doesn't currently help with backing up Docker volumes.
- 👎 Exposes its bespoke management interface to the internet via HTTPS by default.

- 👎 Swarm is the new best practice.
### Doing it Manually (Old School)
If you are an absolute Shaman in a Shell and learning new gadgets just slows you down,
have it, but maybe ask how old [is old enough](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printing_press)?
**Pros**
- 👍 Simple - just follow upstream instructions to install and update.
**Cons**
- 👎 Loads of manual work required for app isolation and backups.
- 👎 Array of sysadmin skills required to install and maintain apps.

As detailed in the [architecture overview](/operators/tutorial/#container-orchestrator), swarm offers an appropriate feature set which allows us to support zero-down time upgrades, seamless app rollbacks, automatic deploy failure handling, scaling, hybrid cloud setups and maintain a decentralised design.

While the industry is bordering on a [k8s](https://kubernetes.io/) obsession and the need to [scale down](https://microk8s.io/) a tool that was fundamentally built for massive scale, we are going with swarm because it is the tool most suitable for [small technology](https://small-tech.org/).

The _Co-op Cloud Communitys_ forecast at the start of 2024 for the future of *Docker Swarm* is positive after five years after *Mirantiss* acquisition of Docker Enterprise
in 2018. Since then, their strategy has developed towards using *Docker Swarm* as an intermediary step between Docker/Docker-Compose, and *Kubernetes* where
previously it seemed like their aim was to migrate all their customers [deployments to Kubernetes](https://www.mirantis.com/blog/kubernetes-vs-swarm-these-companies-use-both) (Oct, 2022).
*Mirantis* acquired Docker Enterprise in 2019 and today delivers enterprise-grade Swarm—either as a managed service or with enterprise support through Mirantis Kubernetes Engine.
There is reasonably healthy activity in their issue tracker with label [`area/swarm`](https://github.com/moby/moby/issues?q=+label%3Aarea%2Fswarm+).
Additionally, we see it as reassuring that *Mirantis* has a growing number of pages relating to *Docker Swarm*:
- [Mirantis' Product Page](https://www.mirantis.com/software/swarm/)
- [What's next for Swarm: New features, the same world-class support](https://www.mirantis.com/blog/what-s-next-for-swarm) (Oct, 2022)
- [Docker Swarm Still Thriving Three Years after Mirantis Acquisition](https://www.mirantis.com/company/press-center/company-news/docker-swarm-still-thriving-three-years-after-mirantis-acquisition-often-running-side-by-side-with-kubernetes/) (Nov, 2022)
Lastly, its worth mentioning that much of the configuration involved in setting up *Docker Swarm*, particularly in terms of preparing images, and in managing the conceptual side, are transferable to other orchestration engines.
We hope to see a container orchestrator tool that is not directly linked to a for-profit company emerge soon but for now, this is what we have.

## 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.coopcloud.tech/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](/intro/contact/).

- You may interact with a server provider that is more ethical than Big Tech. Although the server provider may still succumb to law enforcement, you might place more trust in some providers than in private cloud providers (e.g. AWS).
- You may be able to situate your servers in locations that are relatively more impervious to law enforcement attempts to dismantle your infrastructure. Indeed, if you deployed your infrastructure in a relatively secure setting such as Switzerland, then you would weather a greater chance of keeping your infrastructure alive than if you deployed it in, say, the United States.

## Why are named volumes used instead of bind mounts?
Many folks using Docker are probably used to using bind mounts; these are recommended in many (most?) upstream docker-compose files, and at one point Docker recommended bind mounts over named mounts due to poor performance of the Linux named volume storage drivers.
It seems like this recommendation changed by the time Co-op Cloud was initiated:
> Volumes are the preferred way to persist data in Docker containers and services.<br>

> Volumes provide the best and most predictable performance for write-heavy workloads. This is because they bypass the storage driver and don't incur any of the potential overheads introduced by thin provisioning and copy-on-write. Volumes have other benefits, such as allowing you to share data among containers and persisting your data even if no running container is using them.<br>
> — [Docker OverlayFS docs](https://docs.docker.com/engine/storage/drivers/overlayfs-driver/#use-volumes-for-write-heavy-workloads)
Following these recommendations, Co-op Cloud exclusively uses named volumes (except for rare special-case bind mounts, like Traefik and Caddy getting access to the host's `/var/run/docker.sock`).

title: Project Strategy

!!! note "Yes, we are blog"
From our experiences working and organising as Autonomic, the tech co-op who [initiated Co-op Cloud](https://autonomic.zone/blog/co-op-cloud/), we know that the progressive tech movement lack reliable and cost-effective technical means for providing a sustainable alternative to _Big Tech_© services which are marketed as "[cloud computing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing)".
Some leading thoughts are outlined in the [project launch blog post](https://autonomic.zone/blog/co-op-cloud/) also.
## Technological Saviors?
From our experiences working and organising as Autonomic, the tech co-op who initiated Co-op Cloud, we know that the progressive tech movement lack reliable and cost-effective technical means for providing an alternative to “Big Tech” cloud services.
The urgency to build an alternative to ["corporate clouds"](https://2023.transmediale.de/en/event/counter-cloud-strategies) is based on an analysis which we summarise briefly here.
The urgency for providing an alternative comes out of the understanding that the concentration of our digital lives within the private sphere of corporate providers (e.g. [GAFAM](https://degooglisons-internet.org/en/)) represents a loss of freedom due to the threat to our privacy and self-determination through surveillance and monopolisation.
We begin with the monopolisation of our digital lives, the stranglehold of corporate control (aka [GAFAM](https://degooglisons-internet.org/en/)), which represents a grave threat to our collective freedom, our societies and our hopes for a good life on planet earth.
As a movement, we cannot compete with corporate providers in terms of cost and scale. Their network effects and available capital means that no one project, product or organisation can create the required shift to a more widespread public interest technology.
We acknowledge the vast accumulation of network effects and resources accrued by these monopolies. This is the basis of our understanding that no single project, "product" or organisation can create the required shift to a more widespread public interest technology.
Technology alone will not save us. Simply deploying libre software is not enough.
When we say public interest technology, we mean a technology which is not built in the service of monopoly. We are speaking of a technology which emerges from elements of democracy: bottom-up decision making, social need, community ownership and ecological thinking. Our aspiration is a technology which is built in the service of social justice, equality and collective freedom.
Our strategy is to mutualise our resources to facilitate this shift. Co-op Cloud is an attempt to create a new shared resource - an open and democratically managed, open standards based, copyleft licensed, libre software infrastructure project.
Our strategy is to mutualise our resources to facilitate this shift. We harbour no illusions: technology alone will not "save us" and simply deploying libre software is not enough. We do not operate in a bubble and do not wish to remain contained within a subculture.
From this base, we can focus on the urgent and necessary social organising work that goes beyond the technical question.
We can say that _Co-op Cloud_ is a libre software infrastructure project. It is based on open standards, is copyleft licensed and is open and democratically managed.
We can also say that _Co-op Cloud_ is a social movement of hosters, hackers, technologists and their allies who defend a vision of collective self-management.
We are committed to an organisational form which allows us to accumulate knowledge, solidarity, experience and resources. We claim a rich history of grassroots social resistance, direct action and struggle for collective liberation.
We propose to go beyond a reductive technological vision of social change.
## The Moving Parts
_Co-op Cloud_ is made up of a few simple, composable pieces. The system does not rely on any one specific implementation: each part may be replaced and/or extended as needed. We want to build a resilient and long-term sustainable project and that means allowing for different implementations, open formats and a diverse project organisation. Here are the main technical concepts listed below,
``` mermaid
graph LR
A[Libre software apps] --> B{Recipe packaging};
B --> C[Command-line tool];
C --> D[Container orchestrator];
```
Once you [grok](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grok) this, you grok the moving parts of the entire project. You can then move on to [deploying your first app](/operators/tutorial/#deploy-your-first-app).
### Libre Software Apps
Libre software apps are tools- they take the shape of websites, mobile apps, and software clients that you may already use in your daily life, for example...
<div class="grid cards" markdown>
- :simple-nextcloud: __Nextcloud__
- :simple-jitsi: __Jitsi__
- :simple-wikimediacommons: __Mediawiki__
- :fontawesome-solid-rocket: __Rocket.chat__
</div>
...and many more. These apps are also often referred to as _open-Source_ or _Free-Software_. These are tools that are created by volunteer communities who use [free software licenses] in order to build up the public software commons and offer more digital alternatives to [proprietary systems].
The communities who develop these softwares also publish them using [containers]. For example, here is the [Nextcloud hub.docker.com account] which allows end-users to quickly deploy a new Nextcloud instance.
There is a growing consensus in the free software community that containers are a useful and time saving format for distribution.
!!! question "Why did you choose to use containers?"
Learn more [in the FAQ section](/intro/faq/#why-containers).

[nextcloud hub.docker.com account]: https://hub.docker.com/_/nextcloud
[proprietary systems]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proprietary_software
[containers]: https://www.docker.com/resources/what-container
### Recipe Packaging Format
However, just having a container of an app is often not enough. The work required to deploy that app in a "production ready" setup is still too time intensive and often involves a duplication of effort.
Each service provider needs to deal with the same problems: stable versioning, backup plan, secret management, upgrade plan, monitoring and the list goes on.
Individual free software projects can't take on all this responsibility. They provide the containers as is, in a secure and ready-to-go manner but it is up to service providers to worry about how the app is deployed.
Therefore, Co-op Cloud proposes a packaging format, which we refer to as a recipe, that describes the entire production state of the app in a single place. This format uses the existing [standards based compose specification].
This is a file format which is most commonly used by the [Docker compose] tool but Co-op Cloud **does not** require the use of Docker compose itself. Furthermore, as described below, we also don't rely on the actual Docker CLI itself either. We do however use a lot of the underlying libraries.
!!! question "Why did you choose to use the compose specificiation?"
Learn more [in the FAQ section](/intro/faq/#why-use-the-compose-specification).
[Each recipe] that Co-op cloud provides is described using the compose specification and makes use of the upstream project published container when possible (sometimes they don't publish one!).
This is the core of our approach to working with the ecosystem of free software communities. We want to maximise the chances of sharing work, knowledge and build solidarity through concrete co-operation.
[standards based compose specification]: https://compose-spec.io
[docker compose]: https://docs.docker.com/compose/
[each recipe]: /recipes/
### Container Orchestrator
Once we have our app packaged as a recipe, we need a deployment environment (e.g. a server & something to keep the containers running). Production deployments are typically expected to support a number of features which give hosters and end-users guarantees for stability.
The Co-op cloud makes use of [Docker swarm] as a deployment environment. It offers an approriate feature set which allows us to support zero-down time upgrades, seamless app rollbacks, automatic deploy failure handling, scaling, hybrid cloud setups and maintain a decentralised design.
!!! question "Why did you choose to use Docker Swarm?"
Learn more [in the FAQ section](/intro/faq/#why-docker-swarm).
[docker swarm]: https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/
### Command-line tool
Finally, we need a tool to read the recipe package format and actually deploy the app. For this, we have developed and published the [abra] command-line tool.
`abra` aims at providing a simple command-line interface for managing your own Co-op Cloud. You can bootstrap machines with the required tools, create new apps and deploy them. `abra` is written in [Go](https://go.dev/) and uses a lot of the libraries that the `docker` and `docker-compose` CLIs use but does not rely on those interfaces directly.
`abra` is our flagship command-line client but it does not need to be the only client. `abra` was designed in such a way that it complements a workflow which can still be done completely manually. If Co-op Cloud goes away tomorrow, our configuration commons would still be useful and usable.

## How do I make the catalogue automatically regenerate after new versions are published?
"I'd like to make it so that whenever I push a new git tag to the
[`coop-cloud/rallly` repository](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/rallly)
(probably [using `abra recipe
release`](#how-do-i-release-a-new-recipe-version)), it automatically does the
[recipe catalogue generation steps](#how-do-i-generate-the-recipe-catalogue)"
1. Check whether tag builds are already trying to run: go to
https://build.coopcloud.tech, search for the recipe name (in this case taking
you to https://build.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/rallly/settings). If there are
failing builds, or if you see builds succeeding but catalogue regeneration
doesn't seem to be happening, then either dive in and try and fix it, or ask
for help in [`#coopcloud-tech`](https://matrix.to/#/#coopcloud-tech:autonomic.zone)
2. Otherwise, click "activate repository". You probably want to set the "disable pull
requests" and "disable forks" options; they won't work anyway, but the
failures might be confusing.
3. Make sure there is a `generate recipe catalogue` step in the recipe's
`.drone.yml` -- if there isn't, you can copy [the one from
`coop-cloud/rallly`](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/rallly/src/branch/main/.drone.yml#L24-L38) unchanged.
4. That's it! Now, when you push a new tag, the recipe catalogue will regenerate
automatically. You can test this by re-pushing a tag (e.g. `git push origin
:0.5.0+3.5.1 && git push 0.5.0+3.5.1`)
## How does automatic catalogue regeneration work?
**TODO: write up properly**
Context: the catalogue lives in a git repo here: https://git.coopcloud.tech/toolshed/recipes-catalogue-json
The expectation is that this repo will only be updated automatically. While manual commits are possible, they're likely to be overwritten.
Automatic regeneration is handled by this Drone step, in the separate `auto-recipes-catalogue-json` repo: https://git.coopcloud.tech/toolshed/auto-recipes-catalogue-json/src/branch/main/.drone.yml#L5-L25
This is run on a daily schedule (question: where is `nightly-app-date` configured?), and can also be triggered by recipe repositories to make new versions available quicker see "[How do I make the catalogue automatically regenerate after new versions are published?](#how-do-i-make-the-catalogue-automatically-regenerate-after-new-versions-are-published)" above.
## How do I enable healthchecks
A healthcheck is an important and often overlooked part of the recipe configuration. It is part of the configuration that the runtime uses to figure out if a container is really up-and-running. You can tweak what command to run, how often and how many times to try until you assume the container is not up.
There are no real univesal configs and most maintainers just pick up what others are doing and try to adapt. There is some testing involved to see what works well. You can browse the existing recipe repositories and see from there.

## How do I change secret generation characters?
It is also possible to tell `abra` which characters it should use to generate secrets with from your recipe config.
You do this by adding an additional modifier in the inline comment on the secret definition in the `.env.sample` / `.env` file.
Here are some examples:
```bash
SECRET_ADMIN_INIT_PASSWORD_VERSION=v1 # length=64 charset=default,safespecial
SECRET_SERVICE_PASSWORD_VERSION=v1 # length=64 charset=default,special
```
The possible Values are:
| Value | Characters | Description |
| -------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `special` | `!@#$%^&*_-+=` | Uses only Special Characters |
| `safespecial` | `!@#%^&*_-+=` | Uses only Special Characters, but removes the dollar sign for Console safety |
| `default,special` | `abcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZ23456789!@#$%^&*_-+=` | Uses uppercase letters, lowercase letters and numbers and special characters |
| `default,safespecial` | `abcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZ23456789!@#%^&*_-+=` | Uses uppercase letters, lowercase letters and numbers and console safe special characters |
| `default` | `abcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZ23456789` | Uses uppercase letters, lowercase letters and numbers |
| any other value or not setting one will be treated as `default` | `abcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZ23456789` | Uses uppercase letters, lowercase letters and numbers |
The setting does only apply when you also set a length modifier to the secret (documented [here](/maintainers/handbook/#how-do-i-change-secret-generation-length)), so it is not applicable for the "easy to remember word" style generator that used when you don't set a length.

1. In order to pass execution back to the original entrypoint, it's a good idea to find the original entrypoint script and run it from your own entrypoint script. If there is none, you may want to reference the `CMD` definition or if that isn't working, try to actually specify `cmd: ...` in the `compose.yml` definition (there are other recipes which do this).

### R015: "long secret names"
Due to limitations placed by the Docker runtime, secret names must be < 64
characters long. Due to convetions in recipe configuration and how `abra`
works, several characters are appended to secret names during a deployment.
This means if you have a domain `example.org` and a secret `foo_pass`, you'll
end up with something like `example_org_foo_pass_v1` being used for the secret
name.
Based on a discussion in
[`#463`](https://git.coopcloud.tech/toolshed/organising/issues/463) and
looking on what is implemented currently in existing recipes, we came up with a
general rule of thumb that secret names in recipe configurations should be < 12
characters long to avoid errors on deployment.

The nice thing about packaging is that only one person has to do it and then we all benefit. We've seen that over time, the core of the configuration doesn't really change. New options and versions might come but the config remains quite stable. This is good since it means that your packaging work stays relevant and useful for other maintainers & operators as time goes on.
Depending on your familiarity with recipes, it might be worth reading [how a recipe is structured](/maintainers/handbook/#how-is-a-recipe-structured) and making clear you understand [what a recipe is](/glossary/#recipe) before continuing.

### Making a plan
The ideal scenario is when the upstream project provides both the packaged image and a compose configuration which we can build from. If you're in luck, you'll typically find a `Dockerfile` and a `docker-compose.yml` file in the root of the upstream Git repository for the app.

This may be possible to overcome if someone really needs it, we encourage people to investigate. We've found that often there are limitations in the actual software which don't support this anyway and several of the current operators simply use a new domain per app.
## Validating `abra` binary checksums
You can download `abra` yourself from the [releases page](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/abra/releases) along with the `checksums.txt` file.
```bash
grep $(sha256sum abra_[version]_[platform]) checksums.txt > /dev/null && echo "checksum OK"
```
If "checksum OK" appears in your terminal - you're good to go!
Otherwise, you have downloaded a corrupted file.
## Creating a new server
`abra server new` can create servers if you have an account with a supported 3rd party integration. We currently support [Servers.coop](https://servers.coop) & [Hetzner](https://hetzner.com). The process of creating a new server usually goes like this:
1. Create an account with a server hosting provider
2. Generate an API client key which you'll give to `abra`
3. Run `abra server new` & fill in the values
`abra` supports creating, listing and removing servers if the 3rd party integration supports it.

If you're app [supports backup/restore](/maintainers/handbook/#how-do-i-configure-backuprestore) then you have two options: [`backup-bot-two`](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/backup-bot-two) & [`abra`](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/abra).

With `abra`, you can simply run the commands:
```
$ abra app backup <domain>
$ abra app restore <domain>
```
With `abra`, you can simply run `abra app backup ...` & `abra app restore ...`.
Pass `-h` for more information on the specific flags & arguments.
If your app Recipe *does not support backups* you can do it manually with the
`abra cp` command. See the exact commands in [abra
cheetsheet](/abra/cheat-sheet/#manually-restoring-app-data).

## Running an offline coop-cloud server
You may want to run a coop-cloud directly on your device (or in a VM or machine on your LAN), whether that's for testing a recipe or to run coop-cloud apps outside of the cloud ;-)
In that case you might simply add some names to `/etc/hosts` (e.g `127.0.0.1 myapp.localhost`), or configure them on a local DNS server - which means `traefik` won't be able to use `letsencrypt` to generate and verify SSL certificates. Here's what you can do instead:
1. In your traefik .env file, edit/uncomment the following lines:
```
LETS_ENCRYPT_ENV=staging
WILDCARDS_ENABLED=1
SECRET_WILDCARD_CERT_VERSION=v1
SECRET_WILDCARD_KEY_VERSION=v1
COMPOSE_FILE="$COMPOSE_FILE:compose.wildcard.yml"
```
2. Generate a self-signed certificate using the [command listed here](https://letsencrypt.org/docs/certificates-for-localhost/#making-and-trusting-your-own-certificates). Unless using `localhost` you may want to edit that where it appears in the command, and/or add multiple (sub)domains to the certificate e.g: `subjectAltName=DNS:localhost,DNS:myapp.localhost`
3. Run these commands:
```
abra app secret insert localhost ssl_cert v1 localhost.crt -f
abra app secret insert localhost ssl_key v1 localhost.key -f
```
4. Re-deploy `traefik` with `--force` and voila!
## Remote recipes
!!! warning "Watch out for old versions of `abra` 🚧"
This feature is only available in the > 0.10.x series of `abra`.
It is possible to specify a remote recipe in your `.env` file:
```
RECIPE=mygit.org/myorg/cool-recipe.git:1.3.12
```
Where `1.3.12` is an optional pinned version. When `abra` runs a deployment, it
will fetch the remote recipe and create a directory for it under `$ABRA_DIR`
(typically `~/.abra`):
```
$ABRA_DIR/recipes/mygit_org_myorg_cool-recipe
```
## Saving the version to the app `.env` file
!!! warning "Watch out for old versions of `abra` 🚧"
This feature is only available in the > 0.10.x series of `abra`.
If you `abra app new`/`abra app deploy`/`abra app upgrade`/`abra app rollback`,
the version that is deployed will be written to your app `.env` file. You can
see this in the `TYPE=/RECIPE=` line of the `.env` where the recipe name is
shown.
For example, before a deployment of the `custom-html` recipe:
```
TYPE=custom-html
```
And after a deployment of version `1.7.1+1.27.2` of the `custom-html` recipe.
```
TYPE=custom-html:1.7.1+1.27.2
```
This `.env` version is then used as the recipe checkout version for **all**
`abra` operations afterwards unless you specify otherwise on the command-line
with `[version]` `--chaos/-C` or `--ignore-env-version/-i`.
## How is the new deployment version determined?
!!! warning "Watch out for old versions of `abra` 🚧"
This feature is only available in the > 0.10.x series of `abra`.
### `.env` version
If you `abra app deploy`/`abra app upgrade`/`abra app rollback`, the version
that is deployed will be written to your app `.env` file. This is shown in the
deployment overview.
This `.env` version is then used as the recipe checkout version for **all**
`abra` operations afterwards unless you specify otherwise on the command-line
with `[version]` `--chaos/-C` or `--ignore-env-version/-i`.
### `abra app deploy`
This is the most flexible command so it can be hard to follow. It is possible
to deploy the following kinds of versions with `abra app deploy`:
1. latest recipe version if no `.env` version (standard `abra app deploy`)
1. version retrieved from the app `.env` (`abra app deploy` + `TYPE=custom-html:1.7.1+1.27.2`)
1. latest commit (`--chaos/-C` / `abra app deploy` + no released recipe versions)
1. latest commit with unstaged changes (`abra app deploy --chaos/-C`)
1. recipe version or Git hash (`abra app deploy 1.7.1+1.27.2`)
The app `.env` version is always used as the recipe checkout version if
present.
The version is chosen using the following priority logic.
1. cli argument
1. `.env` file
1. deployed app
1. recipe catalogue (if undeployed)
Use `--ignore-env-version/-i` to deploy the latest release version or commit.
In all cases 3-5, the app `.env` version is **ignored** as a version candidate.
### `abra app upgrade`
The app must be deployed already to proceed.
* a new upgrade (standard `abra app upgrade`)
* a specific upgrade (`abra app upgrade 1.7.1+1.27.2`)
* force re-upgrade (same version, `abra app upgrade --force`)
The app `.env` version is always used as the recipe checkout version if
present.
However, it is otherwise **ignored** for the version candidate. The "source of
truth" for the version candidate is the live deployment of the app.
### `abra app rollback`
The app must be deployed already to proceed.
* a new downgrade (standard `abra app rollback`)
* a specific downgrade (`abra app rollback 1.7.1+1.27.2`)
* force re-downgrade (same version, `abra app rollback --force`)
The app `.env` version is always used as the recipe checkout version if
present.
However, it is otherwise **ignored** for the version candidate. The "source of
truth" for the version candidate is the live deployment of the app.

title: New Operators Tutorial
---
## The moving parts
Co-op Cloud is made up of a few simple, composable pieces. The system does not rely on any one specific implementation: each part may be replaced and/or extended as needed.
We want to build a resilient and long-term sustainable project and that means allowing for different implementations, open formats and a diverse project organisation.
Here are the main technical concepts listed below, once you [grok](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grok) this, you grok the moving parts of the entire project. You can then move on to [deploying your first app](/operators/tutorial/#deploy-your-first-app).
### Libre software apps
Libre software apps are tools, websites & software clients that you may already use in your daily life: [Nextcloud], [Jitsi], [Mediawiki], [Rocket.chat] and [many more]!
These are tools that are created by volunteer communities who use [free software licenses] in order to build up the public software commons and offer more digital alternatives to [proprietary systems].
The communities who develop these softwares also publish them using [containers]. For example, here is the [Nextcloud hub.docker.com account] which allows end-users to quickly deploy a new Nextcloud instance.
There is a growing consensus in the free software community that containers are a useful and time saving format for distribution.
!!! question "Why did you choose to use containers?"
Learn more [in the FAQ section](/intro/faq/#why-containers).

[proprietary systems]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proprietary_software
[containers]: https://www.docker.com/resources/what-container
### The recipe packaging format
However, just having a container of an app is often not enough. The work required to deploy that app in a "production ready" setup is still too time intensive and often involves a duplication of effort.
Each service provider needs to deal with the same problems: stable versioning, backup plan, secret management, upgrade plan, monitoring and the list goes on.
Individual free software projects can't take on all this responsibility. They provide the containers as is, in a secure and ready-to-go manner but it is up to service providers to worry about how the app is deployed.
Therefore, Co-op Cloud proposes a packaging format, which we refer to as a recipe, that describes the entire production state of the app in a single place. This format uses the existing [standards based compose specification].
This is a file format which is most commonly used by the [Docker compose] tool but Co-op Cloud **does not** require the use of Docker compose itself. Furthermore, as described below, we also don't rely on the actual Docker CLI itself either. We do however use a lot of the underlying libraries.
!!! question "Why did you choose to use the compose specificiation?"
Learn more [in the FAQ section](/intro/faq/#why-use-the-compose-specification).
[Each recipe] that Co-op cloud provides is described using the compose specification and makes use of the upstream project published container when possible (sometimes they don't publish one!).
This is the core of our approach to working with the ecosystem of free software communities. We want to maximise the chances of sharing work, knowledge and build solidarity through concrete co-operation.
[standards based compose specification]: https://compose-spec.io
[docker compose]: https://docs.docker.com/compose/
[each recipe]: /recipes/
### Container orchestrator
Once we have our app packaged as a recipe, we need a deployment environment (e.g. a server & something to keep the containers running). Production deployments are typically expected to support a number of features which give hosters and end-users guarantees for stability.
The Co-op cloud makes use of [Docker swarm] as a deployment environment. It offers an approriate feature set which allows us to support zero-down time upgrades, seamless app rollbacks, automatic deploy failure handling, scaling, hybrid cloud setups and maintain a decentralised design.
!!! question "Why did you choose to use Docker Swarm?"
Learn more [in the FAQ section](/intro/faq/#why-docker-swarm).
[docker swarm]: https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/
### Command-line tool
Finally, we need a tool to read the recipe package format and actually deploy the app. For this, we have developed and published the [abra] command-line tool.
`abra` aims at providing a simple command-line interface for managing your own Co-op Cloud. You can bootstrap machines with the required tools, create new apps and deploy them. `abra` is written in [Go](https://go.dev/) and uses a lot of the libraries that the `docker` and `docker-compose` CLIs use but does not rely on those interfaces directly.
`abra` is our flagship command-line client but it does not need to be the only client. `abra` was designed in such a way that it complements a workflow which can still be done completely manually. If Co-op Cloud goes away tomorrow, our configuration commons would still be useful and usable.

#### Add your server
### Set up autocomplete
Now you can connect `abra` with your server. You should have a working SSH configuration before you can do this (e.g. a matching `Host <server-domain>` entry in `~/.ssh/config` with the correct SSH connection details). That means you can run `ssh <server-domain>` on your command-line and everything Works :tm:.
Most `abra` commands require typing the fully qualified domain name for your app, so we **highly** recommend configuring command-line auto-completion. See `abra autocomplete -h` for more on how to do this. The instructions vary depending on which shell you use.
With autocomplete enabled, you can run a command like `abra app deploy myapp.example.com` by just typing `abra app deploy myapp<tab>`.

into SSH connection issues with `abra` take a moment to read [this
troubleshooting entry](/abra/trouble/#ssh-connection-issues).

abra server add <server-domain>
```
It is important to note that `<domain>` here is a publicy accessible domain name which points to your server IP address. `abra` does make sure this is the case and this is done to avoid issues with HTTPS certificate rate limiting.

Traefik is the main entrypoint for all web requests (e.g. like NGINX) and supports automatic SSL certificate configuration and other quality-of-life features which make deploying libre apps more enjoyable.
Traefik is the main entrypoint for all web requests (e.g. like NGINX) and
supports automatic SSL certificate configuration and other quality-of-life
features which make deploying libre apps more enjoyable.
To get started, you'll need to create a new app:
**1. To get started, you'll need to create a new app:**
```bash
abra app new traefik
```
Choose your newly registered server and specify a domain name.
Choose your newly registered server and specify a domain name. By default `abra`
will suggest `<app-name>.server.org` or prompt you with a list of servers.
You will want to take a look at your generated configuration and tweak the `LETS_ENCRYPT_EMAIL` value. You can do that by running `abra app config`:
**2. Configure this new `traefix` app**
You will want to take a look at your generated configuration and update the placeholder `LETS_ENCRYPT_EMAIL` value, used by Let's Encrypt to manage SSL certificates. You can do that by running `abra app config`:
```bash
abra app config <traefik-domain>
```
Every app you deploy will have one of these `.env` files, which contains variables which will be injected into app configurations when deployed. Variables starting with `#` are optional, others are required.
Every app you deploy will have one of these `.env` files, which contains
variables which will be injected into app configurations when deployed. These
files exist at relevantly named path:
Now it is time to deploy:
```bash
~/.abra/servers/<domain>/<traefik-domain>.env
```
Variables starting with `#` are optional, others are required. Some things to
consider here is that by default our *Traefik* recipe exposes the metric
dashboard unauthenticated on the public internet at the URL `<traefik-domain>`
it is deployed to, which while helpful for debugging, is not ideal in production environments. You can disable this with:
```
DASHBOARD_ENABLED=false
```
**3. Now it is time to deploy your app:**
Ensure `<traefic-domain>` is registered in `/etc/hosts` then run:
```
abra app deploy <traefik-domain>
```
Voila. Abracadabra :magic_wand: your first app is deployed :sparkles:
### Deploy Nextcloud

title: Recipes
---
!!! note "Unsure of what a "recipe" is exactly?"
Not to worry, we've got you covered, check out our [glossary page entry](/glossary#recipe).
## Catalogue
The recipe catalogue is a web interface for exploring
what kind of configurations we have available in the project and therefore what apps can be deployed.
It aims to be a helpful place to understand the status of apps, who is taking care of the configs and who is maintaining deployed instances of which app.
The recipe catalogue is available on [recipes.coopcloud.tech](https://recipes.coopcloud.tech/).
## Status / features / scoring
Each recipe README has a "metadata" section, to help communicate the overall status of the recipe, and which features are supported. Here's an example, from [the Wordpress recipe](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/wordpress/):
```
<!-- metadata -->
* **Category**: Apps
* **Status**: 3, stable
* **Image**: [`wordpress`](https://hub.docker.com/_/wordpress), 4, upstream
* **Healthcheck**: Yes
* **Backups**: Yes
* **Email**: 3
* **Tests**: 2
* **SSO**: No
<!-- endmetadata -->
```
Currently, recipe maintainers need to update the scores in this section manually. The specific meanings of the scores are:
### Status (overall score)
- 5: everything in 4 + Single-Sign-On
- 4: upstream image, backups, email, healthcheck, integration testing
- 3: upstream image, missing 1-2 items from 4
- 2: missing 3-4 items from 4 or no upstream image
- 1: alpha
### Image
- 4: official upstream image
- 3: semi-official / actively-maintained image
- 2: 3rd-party image
- 1: our own custom image
### Email
- 3: automatic (using environment variables)
- 2: mostly automatic
- 1: manual
- 0: none
- N/A: app doesn't send email
### CI
- 3: as 2, plus healthcheck
- 2: auto secrets + networks
- 1: basic deployment using `stack-ssh-deploy`, manual secrets + networks
- 0: none
### Single-Sign-On
- 3: automatic (using environment variables)
- 2: mostly automatic
- 1: manual
- 0: none
- N/A: app doesn't support SSO
## Wishlist
If you'd like to see a new recipe packaged, make a request on the [recipes-wishlist](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/recipes-wishlist) repository issue tracker.
We've seen nice things happen when the requesters are also willing to take an active role in testing the new recipe. Teaming up with whoever volunteers to help do the packaging is best.
If no one is around to help, you can always take a run at it yourself, we have [a section](/maintainers/) ready to help you on your way.

# For Maintainers
From the perspective of the recipe maintainer, backup/restore is just more
`deploy: ...` labels. Tools can read these labels and then perform the
backup/restore logic.
## Tools
Two of the current "blessed" options are, which both implement the [backupbot specification](/specs/backup/spec/).
- [`backup-bot-two`](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/backup-bot-two)
- [`abra`](https://git.coopcloud.tech/toolshed/abra)
### `backup-bot-two`
`backup-bot-two` is a recipe which gets deployed on the server, it can perform automatic backups and uses restic.
Please see the [`README.md`](https://git.coopcloud.tech/coop-cloud/backup-bot-two#backupbot-ii) for the full docs.
### `abra`
`abra` will read labels and store backups in `~/.abra/backups/...` .
It also provides an integration for `backup-bot-two`.
## Backup
### How to Configure backups
Unless otherwise stated all labels should be added to the main service (which should be named `app`).
1. Enable backups for the recipe:
You need to enable backups for the recipe by adding the following deploy label:
```
backupbot.backup=true
```
2. Decide wich volumes should be backed up:
By default all volumes will be backed up. To disable a certain volume you can add the following deploy label:
```
backupbot.backup.volumes.{volume_name}=false
```
3. Decide which path should be backed up on each volume
By default all files get backed up for a volume. To only include certain paths you can add the following deploy label:
```
backupbot.backup.volumes.{volume_name}.path=/mypath1/foo,/mypath2/bar
```
Note: You can include multiple paths by providing a comma seperated list
Note: All paths are specified relativ to the volume root
4. Run commands before the backup
For certain services like a database it is not reccomend to just backup files, because the backup might end up in a corrupted state. Instead it is reccomended to make a database dump. You can run arbitrary commands in any container before the files are backed up.
To do this add the following deploy label to the service on which you want the command being run:
```
backupbot.backup.pre-hook=mysqldump -u root -pghost ghost --tab /var/lib/foo
```
5. Run commands after the backup
Sometimes you want to clean up after the backup. You can run arbitrary commands in any container after the files were backed up.
To do this add the following deploy label to the service on which you want the command being run:
```
backupbot.backup.post-hook=rm -rf /var/lib/mysql-files/*
```
### Testing the backup
To test that your backup is configured correctly you can deploy the recipe you are working on in a test app either [locally](link to local server deployment) or on a test server.
After the deployment is succesfull run the backup and inspect its content
```
abra app backup myrecipe.example.com
tar -tf ~/.abra/backups/mybackup
```
TODO: this is not complete yet
## Restore
When restoring an app, it takes the files from a backup and copies them to their correct location.
In the case of restoring database tables, you can use the `pre-hook` & `post-hook` commands to run the insertion logic.
## Pre and Post hooks
To back up some services correctly it involves more than just copying a few files from one location to another. Some services already have specific backup tools that allow taking a coherent snapshot of its data like `mysqldump`.
The pre and post hooks can be used to prepare the files which should get backed up and clean up afterwards.
Here are some examples:
### Example 1: Execute simple command
```
backupbot.backup.pre-hook: "echo 'foo' > /path/to/volume/bar.txt
```
### Example 2: Access environment variable
```
backupbot.backup.pre-hook: "cat $${POSTGRES_PASSWORD_FILE}"
```
### Example 3: Access secret
```
backupbot.backup.pre-hook: "cat /var/run/secrets/mysupersecret"
```
```
backupbot.backup.pre-hook: 'mysqldump -p"$$(cat /run/secrets/mysupersecret)" mydatabase'
```
### Example 4: Complex script
Sometimes the logic to backup up a service can get quite complex. In that case it might be easier to add a script (via mount or config) inside the container and call that from the pre and post hook:
```
backupbot.backup.pre-hook: "/scripts/my-pre-backup-scripts"
backupbot.backup.post-hook: "/scripts/my-post-backup-scripts"
```
## Configuration Examples
### Mariadb
```
services:
db:
image: mariadb
volumes:
- "mariadb:/var/lib/mysql"
deploy:
labels:
backupbot.backup: "true"
backupbot.backup.pre-hook: "sh -c 'mariadb-dump --single-transaction -u root -p\"$$(cat /run/secrets/db_root_password)\" wordpress | gzip > /var/lib/mysql/dump.sql.gz'"
backupbot.backup.volume.mariadb.path: "dump.sql.gz"
backupbot.backup.post-hook: "rm -f /var/lib/mysql/dump.sql.gz"
backupbot.restore.post-hook: "sh -c 'gzip -d /var/lib/mysql/dump.sql.gz && mariadb -u root -p\"$$(cat /run/secrets/db_root_password)\" wordpress < /var/lib/mysql/dump.sql && rm -f /var/lib/mysql/dump.sql'"
```
### Postgres
```
version: '3.8'
services:
db:
image: "postgres"
volumes:
- "postgres:/var/lib/postgresql/data"
secrets:
- db_password
deploy:
labels:
backupbot.backup: "true"
backupbot.backup.pre-hook: "PGPASSWORD=$$(cat $${POSTGRES_PASSWORD_FILE}) pg_dump -U $${POSTGRES_USER} $${POSTGRES_DB} > /var/lib/postgresql/data/backup.sql"
backupbot.backup.post-hook: "rm -rf /var/lib/postgresql/data/backup.sql"
backupbot.backup.volume.postgres.path: "backup.sql"
volumes:
postgres:
```

# Specification
## Summary
Creating automated backups of docker swarm services is an often needed task. This specification describes how backups can be configured via [service labels](https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/compose-file-v3/#labels-1) in a standardised way.
## Requirements
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this specification are to be interpreted as described in [RFC-2119](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2119).
## Backup
To enable backups for a docker stack, the `backupbot.backup=true` label MUST be set on one of its services. The label MUST NOT be set multiple times for a docker stack. Otherwise the implementation MUST show an error. The label SHOULD be declared on the main service.
### Volumes and paths
By default all volumes MUST be backed up. A volume MUST be excluded from the backup when `backupbot.backup.volumes.{volume_name}=false` is set, where `{volume_name}` is the name of the volume.
By default all files MUST be backed up on a volume. `backupbot.backup.volumes.{volume_name}.path` MAY be set to limit the paths for that volume. The value MUST be a valid path relative to the volume root. It MAY contain multiple paths which get separated by a comma. When the label is set only the given paths MUST be backed up.
### Pre/Post Hooks
A `backupbot.backup.pre-hook` and `backupbot.backup.post-hook` MAY be set on a service. When set the command MUST be executed inside the running container of the service before/after backing up files.
There is no guaranteed order in which different hooks MUST be executed.
TODO: escaping
### Output
A backup implementation SHOULD provide the backup of one or multiple stacks in a `.tar.gz` format. In that case each volume MUST be in `/var/lib/docker/volumes/{stack_name}_{volume_name}`, where `{stack_name}` is the name of the docker stack and `{volume_name}` is the name of each volume that got backed up.
## Restore
By default all files MUST be restored into their volume. A volume or path MAY be excluded from restoring. When restoring a backup from a `.tar.gz` it expects the directory layout as described in the [backup output](#output) section.
### Pre/Post Hooks
A `backupbot.restore.pre-hook` and `backupbot.restore.post-hook` MAY be set on a service. When set the command MUST be executed inside the running container of the service before/after restoring the files.
There is no guaranteed order in which different hooks MUST be executed.
## Labels
### `backupbot.backup`
**Type:** boolean
**Default:** false
**Description:**
Enables backups for this compose stack. The label should be added to the main service of the compose stack.
**Example:**
```
backupbot.backup: true
```
### `backupbot.backup.volumes.{volume_name}`
**Type:** boolean
**Default:** true
**Description:** When set to false the volume is excluded from backups.
**Example:**
```
backupbot.backup.volumes.{volume_name}: false
```
### `backupbot.backup.volumes.{volume_name}.path`
**Type:** string
**Default:** ""
**Description:**
A comma seperated list of paths. When one or more paths are set, it only backs up those on the given volume instead of the whole volume.
**Example 1:**
```
backupbot.backup.volumes.{volume_name}.path: '/var/lib/mariadb/dump.sql.gz'
```
**Example 2:**
```
backupbot.backup.volumes.{volume_name}.path: '/var/lib/myapp/foo,/var/lib/myapp/bar'
```
### `backupbot.backup.pre-hook`
**Type:** string
**Default:** ""
**Description:**
A command, that gets executed before the files are backed up.
**Example:**
```
backupbot.backup.pre-hook: 'mysqldump -u root -p"$(cat /run/secrets/db_root_password)" -f /volume_path/dump.db'
```
### `backupbot.backup.post-hook`
**Type:** string
**Default:** ""
**Description:**
A command, that gets executed after the files are backed up.
**Example:**
```
backupbot.backup.post-hook: "rm -rf /volume_path/dump.db"
```
### `backupbot.restore.pre-hook`
**Type:** string
**Default:** ""
**Description:**
A command, that gets executed before the files are restored.
Note, that there is no guaranteed order in which multiple hooks get executed.
**Example:**
```
backupbot.restore.pre-hook: "lock db"
```
### `backupbot.restore.post-hook`
**Type:** string
**Default:** ""
**Description:**
A command, that gets executed after the files are restored.
**Example:**
```
backupbot.restore.post-hook: "sqldump dump.sql && unlock db && rm dump.sql"
```
