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?
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/

I used this tutorial to run an instance for like 2 years on a $5/mo digital ocean droplet. I set it up super quick.
There are other public Jitsi Meet instances out there anyone can use without an account.
Hi all. Thanks for the feedback. Very much appreciated 👍. … I will set it up in docker.
I install/configure/manage it using this ansible role that uses native debian packages. Experience up to 4-5 users is good on a low-end cheap VPS (2GB RAM, 2 vCPU)
