Last I looked, putting a Jitsi server on your computer was a huge
undertaking. Only one GoLUGger succeeded in doing so, and his
implementation had problems.

The other thing is, to this day a lot of people don't have the upload
bandwidth to pull it off. I know I could do one of those Vultr things,
but that's hard too, especially keeping it secure.

NOTE: I'm just a programmer, not a professional admin.

Thanks,
