extend fairmeeting capacity

We need more video bridges and need to connect them to jicofo. Here is the video tutorial to do so https://jitsi.org/news/tutorial-video-how-to-load-balance-jitsi-meet/

A video bridge requires only 2 GB RAM but a lot of CPU power (ideally 4-8 cores) and ideally unlimited bandwidth on a 1GB or 10GB interface.

Capacity Status

Main fairmeeting server at OVH has one bridge media.fairmeeting.net (with separate IP for TCP 443 harvesting).

  1. kas server VM https://git.fairkom.net/hosting/DevOps/issues/129 - not yet deployed
  2. argo IT videobridge2 deplyoed 2020-04-03, plus dedicated setup on meet.argoit.org
  3. Hostsharing offers VM, traffic costs are way too high
  4. k8s - see comments below - STUN networking is tricky, deprecated
  5. Internex VM - works, see https://git.fairkom.net/hosting/fairmeeting/-/wikis/videobridge-VM-installation
  6. Hetzner root server bridge0 deployed 2020-03-29
  7. Hetzner root server bridge1 deployed 2020-04-01

If you can provide powerful hardware (8+ cores) + network (1 GB / 20+ TB / month) for a bridge then please set one up under any domain and share the keys with us, so that we could embed it.
