I’d like to host a game night for friends and family where we play games like jackbox. I’d like to self host the service and give anyone a url and possibly a user name/password combination to access it. I’d like audio and video support as well as the ability to screen share and have a text chat option. I know there are a couple of services that do some of these things but does anyone know of an option that part offers all of this?
You must log in or # to comment.
I think Jisti does all of those things. Essentially a self hostable zoom. Audio, video, screensharing and text chats.
I’ll have to give this a try, thanks!
Does anyone know anything about owncast?
owncast is more of a “stream one thing to multiple viewers” kind of thing, as opposed to Jitsi which is more for meetings.
I’ve used owncast to host a couple of conferences, set it up on Linode with their single click install thing, I think. We had a jitsi call for the round table and one of the participants had OBS streamings its jitsi window to owncast. For individual presentations, we used https://vdo.ninja/ to get the presenters screen/camera/microphone onto OBS, where it was muxed and streamed to owncast.
It sounds like jitsi may be the answer for me but this will be my backup plan
It’s self-hosted Twitch. A very pleasant platform, tbh
Try revolt
https://github.com/revoltchat/self-hostedIt might sound crazy, but nextcloud actually can do all of that. It’s pretty easy to activate if you already have a nextcloud instance. Just enable nextcloud talk app on your nextcloud instance, and maybe add a stun/turn server to make it works through double nat.
I found this the other day: https://revolt.chat/
I have yet to deploy it but from what I’ve seen it’s a discord alternative
