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)?
It’s extremely easy to set up with docker, I’ve been using a self-hosted instance for about 2 years now. Contact me if you need help setting it up or if you just want to test it.
Hardware requirements depend on how many users will be using it, I use an old i3 NUC as a home server and it can easily handle a room with a dozen people, especially if it’s just audio, it gets heavier on the CPU if a lot of them have their webcams on but generally speaking if you have a decent internet connection you’ll be fine.
Follow these instructions: https://jitsi.github.io/handbook/docs/devops-guide/devops-guide-docker/ You will need to set up HTTPS unless you’re already using a reverse proxy.
