Quote:The server that the lounge would put it on has is an ancient version of Linux on it. The binary builds won't work on something that old, and Bolty is rightly concerned about installing the entire build chain to try and build it there.
When I would play at the same time and we would use mumble, sometimes bandwidth would be a limiting factor on the sound quality. The server has to send a stream to all the clients connected. It is highly unlikely that a real hosted server would notice the bandwidth, but the upload bandwidth on my cable modem is just not quite enough.
I sent an email to my host asking if my current hosting plan would cover the use of the something like this, or if I would need to upgrade my plan. I also have them looking at it since it's an open source piece and they like to offer as many as those as possible as included 'installs'.
When they get back to me, I will let you know. I currently have 6gb of bandwidth a month, allocated, and only use 500mb on average. If I can host it and not excede 4-5gb of traffic a month, I will gladly do so for free. I am in the process of redesigning my personal site, and the new stuff will up my personal consumption some. If I have to up my plan, I would possibly still be able to cover it out of my own pocket. It would only be an extra 2 bucks a month, and the next step up in plan would actually give me some personal perks as well.
If I would have to upgrade my plan past that, it would become more than the 5 bucks a month that the other site would cost, and that's just not a good idea from an economics standpoint:)I would upgrade my account, and chip in on the 5 bucks a month and save money.
I will keep you posted on what my host has to say.
