Setting the scene with some short chat logs with @p4u1 👇

d1: idk if you remember old abra but it could create servers on hetzner, install docker swarm and even configure dns. but everyone was doing different setup things and using different providers, etc. etc. so we need to be very careful about what we want to try to share. [... the danger with this approach is that ...] it is automating things that everyone mostly wants to do differently. what abra is automating is what nobody wants to even think or care about and hopes it is always the same. there are some traps in the promise of this direction of automation

p4u1: I get the point, that everyone wants to do things differently, but there is also the point that everyone has to do everything by themself. I would like to share stuff, like docker + swarm setup, user and ssh setup, firwall and maybe vpn. But also automating stuff around coopcloud, like one command to setup a new server with traefik, backup and monitoring

Throw in your opinions and proposals!

We've roughly been in this territory before: #106
