Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

With jitsi meet now requireing registration (something I do understand, .. but I just happen not to have a google, MS or meta account), I am looking at selfhosting a jitsi meet for personal use.

Has somebody already done this? What are your experience? What are the hardware requirements? Docker or native? Linux or other OS? (FreeBSD)?

I ran it via Docker, it was easy enough, consumed close to no resources, upgrading was tricky a few times. Then I got rid of that server and did not continue hosting Jitsi, started freeloading on Freifunk Munchen public instance.

Any particular reason to use the ffmuc? Are there other instances worth considering?

[–] oldfart@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

No real reason. It's stable so I keep using it. Look at the official list: https://jitsi.github.io/handbook/docs/community/community-instances/
