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.

15 février 2026 Bedrud Team announcement, launch

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 | bash

That’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
