Self-hosting Roomler

Run the whole Roomler server yourself with one compose file and a published container image — accounts, signalling, chat, conferencing and relays.

Get started

Video conferencing

HD video calls with screen sharing and recording, built on a selective forwarding unit — and the one networking requirement that catches self-hosters.

Chat & video

Self-host hardening

What to get right when running Roomler yourself — secrets, TLS, the origin setting, storage, backups and the checks worth doing after every upgrade.

Security & access control

Calls have no video

Everyone joins the call and nobody appears — the media path, why signalling can look perfect while no packets flow, and what to check first.

Troubleshooting

Ports and firewall

What Roomler needs to reach, what it never needs opened inbound, and the one port range that matters if you self-host video calls.
