C'est un des projets tech qui m'impressionne le plus en ce moment.

Demain matin on va tester Galene.
https://github.com/jech/galene

C'est un outil de visio (WebRTC), développé par une seule personne (un chercheur).

- Binaire Go sans dépendance (20mo de RAM IDLE)
- Un quart de coeur CPU utilisé pour 100 personnes dans une conf
- Soutenu par NLnet
- Outil officiel de LibrePlanet 24
- Utilisé dans 2 universités (Sorbonne et Paris Cité)

Et seulement 1,3k ⭐ sur Github...

En quittant CalCom j'ai perdu l'accès à leur outil de visio, j'ai donc dû en trouver un nouveau.
Jitsi et BigBlueButton sont des outils incroyables, mais très gourmand en ressource (et en administration).

Je suis tombé sur Galene en me perdant dans les recherches (Lightweignt alternative to...) et j'ai pas été déçu.

Je ne comprends pas que ça ne soit pas plus connu.

On en parle demain matin en live à 9h.

People often take us for "extremists" when we tell them we don't use #Zoom and other surveillance systems masquerading as commercial products. They should rather call us insightful.

Why? Yet another example: when you go to a Zoom meeting, you give them #biometric information. Of course they will tell you it's to protect you from #AI and #deepfakes

Don't believe the hype. Use #Galene -> https://galene.org/

Instead of having a lot of standalone Ansible roles on my forgejo instance, I have created my own collection.

Let me announce you the first release of the "jriou.general" Ansible collection 🚀 https://git.riou.xyz/jriou/ansible

@michelamarie I gave up on Jitsi and installed Galène, as suggested by @raboof. It works and was very easy to setup.

not a martian, honest Nov 29

Had an opportunity to use my own #galene installation for Shadowrun today. It worked quite well for a game.
Sound even seemed clearer than our usual of discord or Google meets.

Thinking of switching to #galene for my games again.

Actually, I was thinking of running a #mumble server, but I wanted a web interface so my kid's friends could use it without installing anything, but for some reason I failed with that.

Galène on the other hand is easy to install and does handle a lot of participants in a video chat without issues.
The UI is a bit barebones though.

Tomorrow is when I spin up and try #Galene as I need to put it under the all day call test and see how it performs with the rest of the services with what I read should be just fine.

Testing Galene videoconference server software

During the Covid-19 pandemic Jitsi-Meet was one of the more popular software among some people for videoconference calls. However, Jitsi-Meet is not very secure. If people choose a very simple room name and no password then it can happen that suddenly strangers join your video call. Self-hosting and maintaining Jitsi-Meet is also not super easy.

Galene is different because it comes with the feature to create users, and users can have operate privileges to create invite links for other users. The invite links can be time limited.

I’ve tested self-hosting Galene and I was happy to see that it ran pretty well on moderate hardware (VPS with 1 GB RAM, with a swap file. Using Debian Linux as OS).

The question remains how many calls and users it can handle very well.

Galene has community provided packages for Yunohost, Arch Linux (AUR) and FreeBSD. A drawback of Galene is that it appears to be a one person project but there’s many one person projects and software can be forked when a project becomes dormant for some reason.

Off-topic : On the same VPS I’ve also installed Prosody with Yunohost and after getting the DNS settings right, as suggested by Yunohost, video-calls with Conversations IM app worked out of the box. Very cool! Thank you people at Yunohost!!! :)))
