What are the hardware requirements for BigBlueButton? I’ve seen what they recommend (e.g. 16 GB of RAM is better, and bare metal server), I was just curious about the experience of a real life (small) instance.

In reality they are less strict. 8GB of ram should be enough for a small instance. We’re running it in a virtualized environement and it runs mostly fine. But I wouldn’t push it beyond 50 users in a call.
