Galène videoconference server
Galene (or Galène) is a videoconference server that is easy to deploy and that requires very moderate server resources. It was originally designed for lectures, conferences and student tutorials, but later turned out to be useful for traditional meetings. Galene has been used in production at two major universities (Université de Paris and Sorbonne Université) for lectures, practicals, seminars, and for staff meetings. It has been used to host a number of conferences (including SOCS'2020, JFLA'2021 and LibrePlanet 2024).
Galene's server side is implemented in Go, and uses the Pion implementation of WebRTC. The server is portable: it is tested on Linux/amd64 and Linux/arm64, and also runs on Linux/armv7, Linux/mips (OpenWRT), Mac OS X, and Windows. The default client is implemented in Javascript, and works on recent versions of all major web browsers, both on desktop and mobile.

I have it installed on a *very* lightweight VPS in Germany - we're talking €4/month and we were using it this morning for an hour or so. Quality was excellent. Screen sharing was better than Jitsi: it was perfect and smooth. No problems at all. The only odd thing I noticed was that when I shared a video with sound, @annie could hear it, but I couldn't, so that was odd. Other than that, flawless, so far. The chat works fine too.
