Yes, but open-core will come back to bite you in the ass anyways. Enshittification built in.

Wouldn’t they especially want a working communication channel in case there is an extended power outage?

As a start it might be better to rent a VPS or so with a service that does backups etc for you. It will be hard to convince people to use it, and issues like dataloss or longer downtimes will kill it for sure.

Also, a large rack server is total overkill for what you want with a few hundred members at most.

With Podman and Quadlets you can use the same command to check on containers as well. The Systemd integration of Podman is pretty neat.

No, Luanti is a platform for Minecraft like games, like a place to find lots of user generated games and such, I guess Roblox is a bit similar to that (I never tried Roblox, so I am guessing). It is also fairly easy to make your own games with it.

There are however games for Luanti that are very similar to Minecraft such as Voxelibre and Minecloina.

I don’t get why people continue to recommend Minecraft when there is the much better open-source Luanti project: https://www.luanti.org/

Because there exists only one place in the world and that is called US of A? 🙄

Saudi Arabia is still the biggest oil exporter in the world (as of 2024). If you drive an internal combustion car anywhere, chances are high that you paid the Sheiks at least some money for doing so.

Don’t look online, ask friends and family if someone has an old laptop you can get for free. Very likely someone does, especially if you are ok with a bad battery and/or a broken screen.

A RPi3 can work, but it being ARM based will cause various headaches when learning compared to something x86.

I have bad news for you if you drive a non-electric car 😏

Typically a video-chat server does no transcoding so this isn’t a major issue. But for hosting a Peertube or Owncast server it would.

The old A/V chats in Matrix were just Jitsi-meet in disguise, but this has been largely deprechiated now with Element Calls.

https://movim.eu/ can do that AFAIK, but for now the A/V calls don’t go through an SFU distribution server (coming soonish), so it will not scale to many participants. But if you want to only stream to a few people (like max. 5 or so, depends a bit on your and their internet speed) it should work.

Lol, wat? I have not seen Anubis even once in front of a static page. You are either making shit up or don’t understand what a static site is 🤦

Well… you found your problem then. It is neither my problem, nor a problem of apartments in general 🤷

DSub2000 is also fairly nice for Android.

Many apartments are owned by the inhabitants or are cooperatively managed.

That is a silly assumption, like why would you assume the worst possible setup? And it would be much easier to talk to the person managing the apartment internet than having to deal with some AI chatbot that pretends to be the support at some shitty ISP.

Obviously I don’t think you need Anubis for a static site. And if that is what your admin experience is limited too, than you have a strong case of dunning krueger.
