What's Next?¶

After following the Abra tutorial you should understand how to deploy Abra apps. The next challenge for using Co-op Cloud in the real world is discovering the services you want to run, and if that service doesn't already have a recipe file, creating one yourself!

For each service you want, you'll sift through different implementations of the same concept. You have to decide whether or not the feature set of the project is satisfactory, if the maintenance and governance of the project is aligned with your needs, and whether there are better alternatives.

We encourage you to look for a service you want to run (e.g. video conferencing software, office suite, project management software) and try and deploy an instance of that service using Co-op Cloud.

Here are some place to get started.

If there's not already a created recipe for the service, you might have to craft one yourself. Follow the Co-op Cloud's New Maintainer's Tutorial as a short guide on how to craft the recipe. We also recommend looking at how other recipes were written on Co-op Cloud's git server for inspiration/examples.
