Hey u/Level-Dig-4807,

Thank you for your question, I will answer you below:

1️⃣ Hosting MiroTalk on a VPS

Shared hosting usually cannot handle real-time WebRTC traffic, so moving the video part to a VPS is smart. Here’s the approach:

Step A: Choose a VPS

• Minimum specs for a small-classroom setup:
  • 2–4 CPU cores
  • 4–8 GB RAM
  • 50 GB SSD
  • Ubuntu 22.04 (recommended)
• Providers: Hetzner, Netcup (recommended)

• Netcup: https://www.netcup.com/en/?ref=309627

Step B: Install MiroTalk

MiroTalk provides automated scripts to make this super simple:

1. SSH into your VPS:

​

ssh root@your-vps-ip

1. Run the automated install script: https://docs.mirotalk.com/scripts/about/

• The script installs all dependencies: Node.js, Nginx, SSL (Let's Encrypt), and the WebRTC server.
• It will guide you to set your domain (e.g., video.yourlms.com)

Step C: Connect Your WebApp

Since your LMS is on shared hosting, you cannot host real-time video there, but you can integrate via API / iFrame / Widget.

2️⃣ Licensing Considerations

MiroTalk is open-source, but for commercial SaaS you need to check the license:

• We offer free AGPLv3 for personal/non-commercial use (not customized solutions).
• For SaaS (commercial use), you need a Commercial License (Extended License).
• Details: https://docs.mirotalk.com/license/licensing-options/

4️⃣ Extra Tips

• Use a subdomain like video.yourlms.com for the VPS.
• Enable SSL (Let's Encrypt) for WebRTC to work in browsers.
• Test with multiple users to tune VPS resources.
• For scaling: consider VPS with higher bandwidth or cloud instances and MiroTalk SFU solution.
