A small group of us are working on community level hosting of 'self-hosted' FOSS tools (think #NextCloud and more) setup as a local service offering for local grassroots organisations. We're seeking advice/tips/guidance.
We're keen to do some orchastration but want to avoid the complexity of say Kubernetes.
As a start we were looking at Ansible with Docker Swarm but we're now exploring other alternatives.
Anyone have experience at this sort of hobbist just a bit bigger than #HomeLab Ops scale?
#Pyinfra is being considered as an Ansible, in the projects words "Think ansible but Python instead of YAML, and a lot faster." (https://pyinfra.com)
Anyone have experience at this homelab/small hosting level? Would love any tips/suggestions for tools/approaches.
One source of inspiration is the 12Factor app methodology: https://12factor.net
Personally, as a rubyist I'm always keen to know what the ruby community is doing in this space also.
Haven't seen many others doing work at this scale, lets use the tag #CommunityHosting to keep connected :)
