> 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](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](https://cloudron.io) server, which is installed on a [Hostinger](https://hostinger.com) VPS. The full list of apps you have access to is listed in the Cloudron portal at [https://my.commonscomputer.com](https://my.commonscomputer.com), and depends on which groups you are part of. _(Are you a keener? Bookmark the_ [_Cloudron Forum_](https://forum.cloudron.io/) _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 - Tools for Thought Rocks Mastodon server [https://toolsforthought.social](https://toolsforthought.social/) - DWebYVR Ghost website [https://dwebyvr.org](https://dwebyvr.org/) - Z-Space Outline wiki [https://wiki.z-space.ca](https://wiki.z-space.ca/) - ATProtocol Dev Ghost website [https://atprotocol.dev](https://atprotocol.dev/)\[1\] > 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](https://notes.commonscomputer.com). ### To Do / Vikunja To do list with kanban view: [https://todo.commonscomputer.com/login](https://todo.commonscomputer.com/login) > TODO: note about how it is easy to miss the CC login. ### Cal .com Meeting scheduling [https://cal.commonscomputer.com](https://cal.commonscomputer.com/) Also has [Daily.co](http://Daily.co) video calls enabled aka “Zoom clone”. > Note: Ask for access. Also, going closed source, so may not get updates? Research this! ### _Rallly_ [Rallly.co](https://rallly.co/) is a group meeting availability poll with a similar interface to the Doodle app [https://availability.commonscomputer.com/](https://availability.commonscomputer.com/) Poll participants don’t need to sign up ### HedgeDoc Real-time collaborative Markdown notes [https://notes.commonscomputer.com](https://notes.commonscomputer.com) Can also sign up with external email or enable guest editing. Docs are not stored in any kind of list, they’re independent links. ### Outline Outline Wiki instance running at [https://commonscomputer.com](https://commonscomputer.com) Have questions about using Outline? Their [Guide](https://docs.getoutline.com/s/guide/doc/guide-7dWGlDrtL7) is helpful. > TODO: deprecated, in the sense that we never really got a lot of active activity there, but there is a bunch of stuff that got written up. ### FreshRSS RSS reader [https://rss.commonscomputer.com](https://rss.commonscomputer.com) ### Matrix Matrix Room lobby is here [https://matrix.to/#/%23lobby:commonscomputer.com](https://matrix.to/#/%23lobby:commonscomputer.com). You can use your Cloudron credentials for a new Matrix account that will work anywhere. Or, join this room with your existing Matrix account. ### Discourse Forum This forum [https://forum.commonscomputer.com](https://forum.commonscomputer.com) accepts both CC logins as well as anyone else to sign up. ### Grist Build our own database, form, or other data heavy data input. It’s a bit like Airtable. [https://grist.commonscomputer.com](https://grist.commonscomputer.com) More at [https://getgrist.com](https://getgrist.com) ### Gitea Git-hosting. See also the Tangled knot on the MiniPC at the top. [https://git.commonscomputer.com](https://git.commonscomputer.com) * * * 1. deprecated, will be transferred to blog.atmosphere.community
