Initial Server Setup
Asked by Saidul

I have a website that is tutor.com.bd. It is an online tutoring site hosted from somewhere else. Now I want to take a droplet in digital ocean like standard droplet and want to move here. I want to add jitsi meet with it. my visitors are 100 at once, at most. Of them, 50 can be on video conference. Daily conference duration is 5 hours (not continously). my budget is low.

Is it possible to install jitsi meet in a standard droplet? Which one would be best for me?

Yes, you can install Jitsi server on a standard droplet. Here is a nice tutorial to get you started: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-jitsi-meet-on-ubuntu-18-04. However, choosing an ideal server depends on lot of factors including number of participants and bandwidth. I would suggest to run your own testing to verify if the server meets your requirement, if not, you can always level up.
