Welcome to Commons Computer

We previously used Outline Wiki, and there are quite a few things in there, that we should port here. You can read the original welcome message https://commonscomputer.com/s/c091345f-9fe5-4d47-9868-9c5f81fd9c98

Commons Computer is an experiment in sharing compute resources and admin & management support across multiple people and projects.

Aside from a handful of public pages, once you become a member, there is a members area and docs area with more info.

Cloudron

The services are all hosted on a Cloudron server, which is installed on a Hostinger VPS. The full list of apps you have access to is listed in the Cloudron portal at https://my.commonscomputer.com, and depends on which groups you are part of.

(Are you a keener? Bookmark the Cloudron Forum for future exploration.)

MiniPC

There is a MiniPC running at Z-Space that is running NixOS (thanks @aynish!) and has the following services:

  • atproto PDS, so accounts are hosted there
  • tangled knot for git hosting, and spindle for continuous integration

TODO: write up some onboarding on how to get to these services, what is tangled, etc

Organization Sites

TODO: write up more about these organizations / copy from the wiki

Apps for Shared Usage

The following apps are all hosted at a Commons Computer domain, generally available to all CC members, and in some cases able for anyone to use, like notes.

To Do / Vikunja

To do list with kanban view: https://todo.commonscomputer.com/login

TODO: note about how it is easy to miss the CC login.

Cal .com

Also has Daily.co video calls enabled aka “Zoom clone”.

Note: Ask for access. Also, going closed source, so may not get updates? Research this!
