Self-Hosting LaSuite Meet

LaSuite Meet is fully self-hostable under the MIT license.

Core Setup vs Advanced Setup

Core Setup: core services only (Django backend, React frontend, LiveKit, PostgreSQL, Redis, OIDC provider). Gets you HD video calls, screen sharing, chat, and lobby features. This is what the Quick Start and Deployment Guide cover.

Advanced Setup: adds LiveKit Egress, S3-compatible storage, email (SMTP), and optionally the AI summary service. Covered by the Recording guide and AI Transcription guide.
