Does anyone know which display card Digital Ocean exposes in its VMs? (I don't have access to a DO droplet right now). The Hetzner ones uses the virtio card: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Device 1234: (rev 02) Which in my local tests works fine with OBS when using the CPU to render. Not sure what DO uses, some providers pass through an S3 card because it needs a lot less virtual memory to run, but OBS crashes with those (not sure if it's due to low memory or some missing symbols or something like that, but as far as we know it basically doesn't work under that configuration). -Jonathan -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ Jonathan Carter (highvoltage) ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ https://wiki.debian.org/highvoltage ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋ https://debian.org | https://jonathancarter.org ⠈⠳⣄ Debian, the universal operating system.

The second option seems to provide a lot better value for money, and I like the idea that there's enough resources available for further experimentation and also running a training stack on there so that training doesn't have to happen on the live stack (which was a bit of a challenge during DebConf). I found that OBS runs fine on 4 modern AMD cores (that's getting 30fps at 720p using 25% CPU or 60fps at 1080p using 50% cpu) without needing a hardware GPU. So, even though option 1 might even be enough for everything, I think that for what one more sponsored online attendee would cost we would get plenty of more cores that we could certainly make use of. -Jonathan -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ Jonathan Carter (highvoltage) ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ https://wiki.debian.org/highvoltage ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋ https://debian.org | https://jonathancarter.org ⠈⠳⣄ Debian, the universal operating system.
Video Team OnlineMiniConf/Testing Server
Hi all, As discussed in the last two meetings, we decided that the video team should have a dedicated server for running a version of our online conference stack (Vocto, Voctoweb, Jibri, OBS, etherpad/alternative). This setup would be designed around a single track conference. The main infrastructure would stay up, with stream front-ends being spun up as needed. This server would not run Jitsi, as this would require additional IP addresses, etc. Rather miniconfs would use jitsi.debian.social, with additional Jibri instances being provided by the video team. It would also not run SReview, instead make use of the instance running on Vittoria. My thinking was purchasing one large server that would act as a hypervisor, with all services running as VMs on it. Unfortunately our stack is quite heavy - Voctomix is very CPU intensive, as is OBS. Jibri is memory heavy. Finally, our stream recordings take up a fair amount of disk space. I have come up with two options, depending on how much CPU we think we need. Both are supplied by Hetzner. This selection is just personal preference, but also means that we are physically close to the debian.social server providing Jitsi. Option 1 - AX61-NVMe Cost per month: 103,24 € and 103,24 € once-off setup fee CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900 12-Core RAM: 128GB Drives: 2x 1.92TB NVMe SSD Data center: Falkenstein, Germany Option 2 - AX161 Cost per month: 199,52 € and 138,04 € once-off setup fee CPU: AMD EPYC 7502P 32 Cores "Rome" RAM: 128GB Drives: 2x 1.92TB NVMe SSD (configurable, additional drives available) Data center: Falkenstein, Germany I would like some feedback on these options, especially around Voctomix's CPU requirements.
