Setting up a commercial Podman Cloud Service via a DAO

People,

I eventually need to set up a little server farm for a yet-to-be-built BioMedical Research facility for my:

The Neural Archives Foundation

Information about NAF

A fibre connection to the existing building (NSW, Australia) will cost about AU$700 / month which I can’t afford ATM so I thought of starting with something (lower cost to begin with) on an existing service, Linode, who have a Sydney cloud facility. Then it occurred to me that others may be interested in being involved in a project with this post’s title. Then I thought it might be good to set this project up as a DAO (managed as a co-op under NSW law):

aragon.org

What's a DAO?

A DAO is a group of people with no central management that coordinate over the internet around a shared set of rules to achieve a common mission. Discover how.

Continuing the thought experiment, for about the same amount that it would cost me to get a fibre connection going, I could get the following machine config from Linode:

RAM	CPU	Storage	Transfer	Network In	Network Out	Price
96 GB	20 Cores	1920 GB SSD	20 TB	40 Gbps	10000 Mbps	US$480 / mo

Could someone guesstimate how many Podman Discourse containers this machine could support?

Discourse installation support for Podman Containers

Hi, Since Fedora is using Discourse, would it maybe be a good idea to start a community effort to get it working out of the box on a Podman machine? With that I mean that the default setup of the Discourse installation steps at the moment mainly target Ubuntu LTS with Docker. I managed to get the container build done with their installation scripts, but after that I didn’t really knew how to change the command arguments to start the container the right way. I think if the folks that manage thi…

Thanks,
