@decentral1se enjoyed reading about the incus experiments.

your research about a shared caddy-plugin for auto-handling https for the different isolated environments, made me imagine a cute explanatory diagram/map of an apartment building layout where each person has their own home (isolated container) but they share a laundry machine and dryer (https handling and maybe some other network utils)

@notplants oh i love this!

yeh im still chewing on how to model "the system", which, ala Co-op Cloud, would just be a gathering of existing strategies with some convenience slapped on.

im trying to bring some of qualities of what people have come to expect from "VPS culture" back to the home, social center, squat etc.

the Incus CLI has everything already, so im considering that no new software needs to be created (beyond the caddy-incus-upstreams layer)

there is very much a mentality change aspect to this which i am still exploring. even the most diehard self-hosters evangelise VPS and data center guarantees

still chewing the cud on this one 😁

@decentral1se curious what you mean by "VPS culture" if you want to say more?

once I finally got automated encrypted borg backups setup on my home server, I felt more like my home server was "VPS-grade", since it now also has automated backup reliability, and just happened to be in my basement

Yeah I'm convinced backup is a huge difference maker.

Also probably something like coop cloud which gives an "app store" for community contributed server apps

@forestjohnson have you seen the built-in incus web ui? you can run it with incus webui on the CLI. it's so wild. grab the latest release from the maintainers repo: https://github.com/zabbly/incus?tab=readme-ov-file#setting-up-the-ui (incus-ui-canonical)
