Hi all, As discussed in the last two meetings, we decided that the video team should have a dedicated server for running a version of our online conference stack (Vocto, Voctoweb, Jibri, OBS, etherpad/alternative). This setup would be designed around a single track conference. The main infrastructure would stay up, with stream front-ends being spun up as needed.
This server would not run Jitsi, as this would require additional IP addresses, etc. Rather miniconfs would use jitsi.debian.social, with additional Jibri instances being provided by the video team. It would also not run SReview, instead make use of the instance running on Vittoria. My thinking was purchasing one large server that would act as a hypervisor, with all services running as VMs on it. Unfortunately our stack is quite heavy - Voctomix is very CPU intensive, as is OBS. Jibri is memory heavy. Finally, our stream recordings take up a fair amount of disk space. I have come up with two options, depending on how much CPU we think we need. Both are supplied by Hetzner. This selection is just personal preference, but also means that we are physically close to the debian.social server providing Jitsi. Option 1 - AX61-NVMe -------------------- Cost per month: 103,24 € and 103,24 € once-off setup fee CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900 12-Core RAM: 128GB Drives: 2x 1.92TB NVMe SSD Data center: Falkenstein, Germany Option 2 - AX161 ---------------- Cost per month: 199,52 € and 138,04 € once-off setup fee CPU: AMD EPYC 7502P 32 Cores "Rome" RAM: 128GB Drives: 2x 1.92TB NVMe SSD (configurable, additional drives available) Data center: Falkenstein, Germany I would like some feedback on these options, especially around Voctomix's CPU requirements.
