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.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Hey there it's me again.
I made another helmfile for stoatchat, and yesterday enablex experimental video support (webcam/screen sharing), enjoy.
Docker-compose is also supported (via an unholy custom-made kubernetes devolver).

Many thanks to the stoat community, this one is a collective effort (using a currently non-mainline patch for video support)

Edit : now supports https://dekube.io/ to deploy with docker compose ( https://github.com/baptisterajaut/stoatchat-platform/blob/main/docs/compose-deployment.md )

Awesome thanks! I am personally experimenting with running stoat over I2P

Thank you for your contribution! Question, since you're adding video support, what are the minimum / recommended hardware specs to host this?

[–] pokexpert30@jlai.lu 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

"Yes"

More seriously, no idea. All I know is it's bringing my kubernetes VM to its knees, and i never tested multiple users at once

Could you please share your specs so we can have a ballpark?

I don't plan to host a public instance, sorry. Friends only (again, livekit is EXPENSIVE to run)
