Does such a thing exist? A coop cloud provider? A unonized cloud provider? An ethical cloud provider? A good guy cloud provider?

You can look at infomaniak, they host everything in Switzerland and use 100% green energy. They also build on open source standards in a lot of places.
But in the end, servers are power hungry and need a lot of rare earths, other minarals and large amounts of energy to be produced.
Interesting, lots of good stuff here. Pretty good prices for small instances. 🤔🤔🤔
I use the public cloud with the smallest tier with storage to host a django app: https://pflaenz.li
It costs around 4$/month and runs great!
I’m a big fan of DigitalOcean, they’re very much geared to developers. Had a chat with them a couple of days ago and they seem good guys. IMHO way more ethical than Amazon.
It’s worth pointing out that they’re now a publicly traded company.
Second
There are some small co-location data centers like that, but consumer VPS provision at competitive prices needs a scale that is hard to reach for a coop.
If you are willing to join a German cooperative, you could (German language only):

They are quite expensive though.

Definitely not Hetzner, lol.
What’s wrong with Hetzner?
Have been customer with hetzner for more than 10 years and they are awesome. First physical server (HDD swaps in 10 minutes!) Now on their cloud environment. It just runs and is cost effective!
You can even use terraform to describe your resources and have them created automatically, or use the API from any programming language.
So… you’re looking for communism in the form of web hosting? 😜
This is the most lemmy thing I’ve seen in a while.
😂 😂 😂
