Demo of Reclaim Cloud
Tim Owens gave us a 30 minute demo/walkthrough of some of the capabilities of the Reclaim Cloud environment
 * Google whitelisting domains might take a while.... But if you use Firefox, it can sometimes just make it less anxiety provoking.
 * Reclaim Cloud Community Forums: https://community.reclaimhosting.com/c/cloud/36
 * Reclaim Hosting's Github: github.com/reclaimhosting
 * Reclaim Cloud’s mission is to make pretty advanced tools user-friendly for the educational community.

Has a marketplace with one click install for a variety of applications.- similar to what users might be familiar with in Installatron. Things like
 * Azuracast for radio/audio - ds106 radio runs off of this
 * Mattermost (open source Slack/chat alternative)
 * Node.js


 * Allows the ability for one person to maintain (pay for) an account but give credentials to others to manage and make changes or hand over.
 * Can I get on that plan where Tim manages and pays for my sites but I get to peek and see? :-) LOL
 * Reclaim Hosting's GitHub account has the open source code for importing a variety of installers within Reclaim Cloud. These can be shared.
 * Visit env-2169314.us.reclaim.cloud to draw with the gang...
 * Trial accounts are free for 14 days to try things out
 * Sign up here: https://reclaim.cloud/signup/


 * Feature Requests for application installers: https://community.reclaimhosting.com/c/cloud/cloud-features/50
 * Pressbooks on shared hosting is missing the MathJax dependency. We were told that would take a separate server. Maybe you could host 1 MathJax server for all of your shared hosting participants that need it?

Questions

 * Which applications are available within the cloud that aren't available on standard shared hosting?
 * Shared hosting apps: https://installatron.com/apps
 * Reclaim Cloud Marketplace: https://reclaim.cloud/applications/ & https://docs.jelastic.com/marketplace/


 * Pros/cons of cloud vs. shared? Cost comparisons?


 * I think I understand docker... but could someone explain it using very small words?


 * Is there a one click install for PressBooks?

Demos

 * photos pulled from Android Phone going via IFTTT.com to a webhook that sends data to a Micropub Endpoint on his website (WordPress with the Micropub plugin)
