Democratizing Server Infra For Community

Written By ebel glad

This endeavor leverages a robust open-source tech stack to provide free, community-driven access to essential digital tools, promoting digital equity and autonomy.​

Technical Implementation:

  • Infrastructure Management: Utilized OpenStack, an open-source cloud computing platform, to orchestrate and manage virtualized resources, ensuring scalability and flexibility. ​

  • Configuration Management: Employed Progress Chef, a configuration management tool, to automate the deployment and maintenance of server configurations, enhancing consistency and reducing manual intervention. ​

  • Web Server Stack: Implemented XAMPP, an open-source cross-platform web server solution stack package, to facilitate the hosting of web applications and services, ensuring a seamless user experience. ​

The deliberate selection of these open-source technologies underscores our commitment to community empowerment and the promotion of digital sovereignty. By harnessing readily available tools, the Community Server Infrastructure offers a sustainable and replicable model for delivering digital services that prioritize user privacy and inclusivity.​

This project not only addresses the technological needs of underserved populations but also fosters a culture of collaboration and self-reliance. Through the Community Server Infrastructure, we aim to bridge the digital divide, providing marginalized communities with the tools necessary to navigate and thrive in the digital landscape.​
