Introducing Bedrud: Self-Hosted Video Meetings in One Command
We're launching Bedrud - a single-binary, open-source video meeting platform that runs on any $5 VPS with 512MB RAM.
Video meetings shouldn’t require a DevOps team to set up. We built Bedrud because we were tired of choosing between expensive per-seat pricing and self-hosted solutions that need 8+ Docker containers.
One Binary. One Command.
curl -fsSL https://bedrud.org/install.sh | bashThat’s it. Sixty seconds later, Bedrud is running on your server. No Docker Compose, no Kubernetes, no config files. A single binary that handles WebRTC media, signaling, and the web UI.
Built for Developers
- WebRTC media server with adaptive bitrate and sub-second latency
- REST API for programmatic room management
- Bot SDK (Go) for building meeting automation
- Native apps for Web (React), Android (Kotlin), and iOS (Swift)
Why Now?
The video meeting market is broken. You either pay per seat to a cloud vendor, or you spend a weekend configuring Jitsi’s 8-container Docker setup. There’s no middle ground.
Bedrud is that middle ground. Open source (AGPL-3.0), single binary, runs on hardware you already have.
What’s Next
We’re just getting started. Here’s what’s on the roadmap:
- Recording - Meeting recording to your server storage
- Transcription - Real-time transcription via bot agents
- LDAP/AD - Enterprise directory integration
- Broadcast mode - One-to-many streaming for webinars
