Galène Videoconferencing Server

In plain words

Galène is a videoconferencing server that enables group video communication. Launched in 2020, it serves users who need to host or participate in video meetings. The software stands out as a self-hosted solution, meaning organizations can run it on their own infrastructure rather than relying on external services. This approach appeals to those prioritizing privacy and control over their communication infrastructure.

From the sources

Galene is an efficient, low-resource videoconference system (web client and server) that is easy to host and easy to administer. It was originally designed for lectures, conferences and student tutorials, but is also suitable 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 (SOCS'2020, JFLA'2021, LibrePlanet 2024). Galene traffic is encrypted and authenticated from sender to server and again from server to receiver. However, Galene does not perform end-to-end encryption: the server operator might,…from galene.org

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.

  After 2.5 years on my side project, it has hit £500/month revenue▲647

  It's been a long slow hog and I almost gave up a few times (more than a few) but when covid hit this year it gave me some time to really focus on my product. There were stupid user journey things that I knew needed fixed. There were some features I knew needed added. And I knew the pricing was wrong. I spent some hardcore time working on these things back in March / April and since then my MRR has continued to grow. My product is SongBox (https://songbox.rocks) - it's an alternative to things like bandcamp and soundcloud for creators who need to share audio files privately.…
