libre.sh

Introduction

A ecosystem that is aimed at hosting free software \o/

We are working on bootstrapping an ecosystem of tools to facilitate the hosting of free software. Think of it as

• ISPconfig
• FLOSS cpanel
• cloudron with email

for kubernetes.

This ecosystem can be deployed on Raspberries or on popular cloud providers and scale globally or anything in between. We can affirm that it scales globally because it is based on kubernetes, a tool developped from the experience of Google hosting containers at scale.

Installation

To install it, follow the video above and instructions in INSTALL.md.

What is libre.sh

libre.sh is a little framework to host Docker. It is simple and modular and respect the convention over configuration paradigm.

This is aimed at Hosters to manage a huge amount of different web application, and a quantity of domain names related with emails and so on.

It is currently installed at 3 different hosters in production and hosting ~20 different web applications, with ~500 containers.

Once well installed, in one bash command, you'll be able to:

• buy a domain name
• configure DNS for it
• configure email for it
• configure dkim for that domain
• configure dmarc for that domain
• configure autoconfig for that domain
• install and start a web application on that domain (WordPress, Nextcloud, piwik...)
• provision a TLS cert on that domain

Amazing, right?

Modular

The PaaS is really modular, that's why it contains the strict necessary, then you'll probably want to add system modules or applications.

It contains 2 unit-files to manage system modules and applications, start them at boot, and load the appropriate environment.
