Community Scale Cloud Infrastructure 26 Workshop

Community Scale Cloud Infrastructure: Deploying and Managing Autonomous Services with Co-op Cloud workshop

Abstract

Co-op Cloud is an open-source software stack that lubricates the process of protecting against digital surveillance through self-hosting and realizing data autonomy on a community scale. This workshop will cover the essentials of hosting software using Co-op Cloud - installing Abra (the flagship CLI client) and using Abra to deploy and configure services. Participants will also learn why data autonomy is important, how it prevents government repression and corporate surveillance, and how to take concrete steps to protect and secure their data through self-hosting. Experience with the Linux command line recommended, but not required.
