I'd like to host a game night for friends and family where we play games like jackbox. I'd like to self host the service and give anyone a url and possibly a user name/password combination to access it. I'd like audio and video support as well as the ability to screen share and have a text chat option. I know there are a couple of services that do some of these things but does anyone know of an option that part offers all of this?

After the stability issues I’ve heard. I wouldn’t even consider nextcloud for my family at this point.

What kind of stability issue? I've been running mine for 3 years and hasn't seen any yet.

Multiple threads people have mentioned random crashing, DB issues and nonsense/useless log outputs that don’t help find a cause and just require you to restore from backup.

No way I’d consider it for business use.

Strange, probably due to some installed apps/plugins. I don't install too many apps/plugins on my instance and it's still rock solid to this day. Just like wordpress, most of the security and performance complains are usually due to 3rd party plugins/apps.

Possibly. What i was hearing seemed more like some weird DB/code gremlin thing. But I dunno. Literally never run it.

Also i think the deployment type was invovled. Maybe it was a docker specific thing??

It may be from it being ran on SQL Light. You can and should setup with a dedicated SQL server instead. From my experience it’s quite snappy as long as the docker container is ran off of SSDs.
