Fediversity

Project description

Safe communication environment for online discussion

Critical dependency on unknown software on rented machines in foreign jurisdictions is unwise – good neither for consumer empowerment, nor for technical stability, democratic oversight or innovation. We need an open alternative stack that is easy to deploy anywhere and customise to different needs. The EU-funded Fediversity project is building a professional hosting solution suitable for deployments of any size, offering multi-tenant setups with fully reproducible deployments and declarative configurations of services based on Nix/NixOS. Fediversity bridges the gap between software development and real-world operations, giving broad access to modern software – from email and chat to file storage and decentralised social media. This comes with the unique promise of service portability, allowing users to switch services and providers.

Objective

Fediversity is an effort to bring easy-to-use, hosted cloud services with personal freedom at their core to individuals and institutions. We want to provide everyone with high quality, secure IT systems for everyday use. Without tracking, without exploitation, in a way that makes sustainable use of the world.

The proposed work aims to generate new business opportunities and broader public benefit by making free and open source tools and open social platforms available to hosting organisations for reliable, frictionless deployment and operations. By offering a coherent package of services that emphasize user control and privacy, the project aims to provide hosting organizations with a clear roadmap to implement and monetize those offerings and attract potential users. The programme will lay the groundwork in the form of reproducible deployment configurations, how-to documents, cookbooks, playbooks and descriptions of success stories.
