   @tilvids I am desperately trying to launch a project with the specific intent of helping this problem - follow @fediseeds for news

     @katve @deutrino @tilvids Correct, one VM per platform app, no initial ability to compose >1 app on one machine.

     Updates are the responsibility of the user, to start with, the aim of the project is to just make it far easier for people to spin up a new instance on their favorite hosting provider (or their own hardware) and be ready to go.

     @fediseeds @deutrino @tilvids Cool.

     How'd updates be handled? And I 'spose it's one VM per software then and hosting like Bookwyrm and Calckey on the same computer wouldn't be supported.

     @katve @deutrino @tilvids I aim to provide downloadable images (.iso and probably a couple virtualization formats) that install a fully-functional ____ instance on top of Debian stable.

     So, download my Pixelfed image, upload to DigitalOcean or your favorite mom n pop VPS host, boot, follow the prompts, and at the end of the install you're on fedi.

     Different than Yunohost et al because the end product is a bog-standard Debian system with the platform app of choice on it. No Docker.

     @deutrino @tilvids @fediseeds What's your angle? A setup and management GUI for containerized fedi software?

     @katve @deutrino @tilvids I also have to precisely document the install process I use in order to do this, so the other part of the project is to release a *good* set of install instructions for various fedi platform apps on Debian stable.

     I'm pretty good at writing and polishing docs, so assuming I manage to get this launched at all, I'm confident that it'll end up being a useful knowledge repo.
