I am sorry to hear this. I do get it though sometimes you need something
that just works.

I set it up in my home server in a docker container that I launch only
about 15 minutes before the scheduled meeting with my friends in
Minnesota and Europe along with forwarding the ports, etc. If LUG is
interested in a trial run and doesn't mind giving my setup a chance, we
all can test it without any charge. I did not set up the
streaming/recording module though (I forgot what it was called), but it
shouldn't be too hard to do based on my humble experience with the rest
of the modules. Let me know.

Thanks,
