you know we have these apps now but we also have this kind of big-picture organisational strategy stuff too. So, like, imagine we say, Autonomic uses 6 apps to run the co-op. We could distill that down into docs as a sort of "co-op buildpack" or something, no? As an abstraction layer beyond categorising apps (useful but more is needed). If your org needs x,y,z then choose buildpack C (which is just a curated list of 6 apps)
then you abra buildpack create coop and it wires it all up (this is maybe a dream level of automation)

yeah this kind of thing has been kicking around in my mind.
step zero: firm up our tech choices, maybe make a blog post about our stack
easy first step: lists of recommended package combos in the co-op cloud docs
step 2: maybe adding some options to the installer?
curl ... | bash -s -- --set-us-up-the-bomb=co-op
step 3: meta-recipes ("meal plans"? 🙃) in abra itelf?
abra mealplan co-op

Thought about this again after chatting with @moritz! Some way to specify an entire deployment via YAML or some other thing. And we talked about some extra glue layer which might query the API to create SSO clients and insert them into the relevant apps. This would be a higher level of automation. A sketch:

apps:
  - recipe: nextcloud
  - recipe: authentik
client:
  - <spec authentik/nextcloud client>

And you could abra apply autonomic.yml and it would "apply" the configuration to a server. This would be a "terraform-like" style implementation which would operate on the config commons instead of the system level.

Galaxy brain, indulge me.

This issue is closed by alakazam. It's battle tested by Local-IT with KolliCloud. There was an idea to look at getting this "upstreamed" into abra but we will have to see about that. For now, if anyone is looking for a sort of "deploy these 10 apps in one go, all configured automagically together from scratch", then check alakazam.
