List of providers #6

Still related to https://github.com/libresh/catalog/, I think it would make sense to ask Service Provider to put json-ld on there website.

Then, as a hoster if I want to get listed here, I'd PR my Nextcloud offer URL.

Then, we would just need to develop a tool to scrap these json-ld to render it as a list of hosters.

@juliushaertl weren't you looking into this? @skjnldsv too? See also https://github.com/nextcloud/website/issues/5

skjnldsv commented 6 years ago

@jospoortvliet yes we'll discuss it at the hackweek! :)

pierreozoux commented 6 years ago

@skjnldsv I can't participate, but if we could have a call, I'd be interested in discussing this topic! where is your chat? We could actually have this json hosted by Nextcloud application.

skjnldsv commented 6 years ago

@pierreozoux sorry, we did not had time to discuss it properly. Nonetheless, i'd like to create a real discussion with this, so I'm calling the provider team: @jancborchardt @tobiasKaminsky @juliushaertl with our special guests: @rullzer and @MorrisJobke

How can we set this up properly for our "providers"? Should we create an app that connects all of them? What are your thought on this?

tobiasKaminsky commented 6 years ago

As this is not changing that often and it always requires a manual interaction to verify if the provider meets the agreed quality standards, a tool which can be run by our sysadmins might be enough:

skjnldsv commented 6 years ago

Yes, basically, that's what we could do: ship a json-ld entry for every nextcloud instance, and use a json-ld ItemList with itemListElement set to every one of our "known" provider.

I guess our json will build itself then. @pierreozoux is this something like that you had in mind?

Ok, I started this document: https://pad.lamyne.org/KwQwbAnCAsDGYFoBmYCMATB1oGYAcCIIARrAgExKrCw4DsxwEYsQA===?view

the way I see it:

[ ] create a Nextcloud app "public shared instance" to expose the required metadata (like name description) in json-ld
[ ] people that want to be listed PR here there instance domain name
[ ] we configure hugo to scrape those endpoints and metadata to print a list of providers

we can print this list as json-ld but the most important is the html IMHO :)

What do you think?
