P2P / Mediasoup / LiveKit · Issue #76 · ancsemi/Haven

What’s the rationale for using P2P over a solution like Mediasoup? I’m worried that P2P may not scale well for participants with weaker upload connections. I wouldn't mind testing or contributing t...

Keep P2P as the default for small rooms — that’s most servers most of the time and the no-extra-infra story is genuinely valuable for self-hosters.

[I] went mediasoup, built into Haven, after all. The two things that pushed my plan above toward LiveKit are gone now. It runs on one port instead of a whole range, and it downloads a ready-made build instead of compiling anything.

While the code is a slop hodgepodge, Haven is currently the only Discord clone I have found that makes it easy to selfhost; no extra open port except 443 80, single docker container, no extra database.

    I’d urge you to try selfhosting the other clones

    Lady I got a decade of experience trying to get off Discord. I know.

    Matrix isn’t that hard if you can read, though, and it has actual users, and you get to control your account. It has other problems that make it non-viable.
