It's been there since before I joined Ouranos. Since 5 years, nobody ever asked me about it and I do not use it either.

Looking at the docker-compose.override next to it, it's mostly CRIM hosts. @fmigneault anyone at CRIM still use those?

If not, it's safe to delete I think.

I think they were intended as early recipes to set up common deploy patterns by new users, such as configuring the WPS or THREDDS services for public ports or dev instances.

They are not used on our end.
I think most of these concepts are covered in the docs or specific components READMEs.
No problem to remove.
