TL;DR -  Requesting Feedback on Self-Hostability

Hey r/selfhosted 👋

I recently sharedAmurex, a self-hosted AI meeting copilot I built out of frustration with existing meeting tools. The idea is to have something lightweight, privacy-respecting, and flexible to fit different workflows but also truly ahead of the proprietary tools and not just an “OSS” alternative. It’s open source and focused on giving users full control over their data without relying on third-party SaaS.

Since the last post, I’ve made some changes to improve self-hostability, and I’d love feedback from the community. Here’s a quick overview:

What Amurex does:

  • Records meetings quietly (no bots announcing themselves).
  • Generates clean, accurate transcripts post-meeting.
  • Keeps a memory layer for easy retrieval of past meetings.
  • Provides real-time suggestions during meetings (currently via a Chrome extension for Google Meet).

What’s changed recently:

  • Improved setup process with clearer documentation.
  • Added Docker support for easier deployment.
  • More configuration options for flexibility.
  • Added viable OSS alternatives for proprietary providers(like ChatGPT, Mixedbread, etc)
  • Gotten rid of the mandatory keys proprietary keys that were needed previously

Where I need help:

  1. Is the setup process smooth enough, or are there areas where it’s frustrating?
  2. Does the documentation cover everything you’d need to get started?
  3. Any suggestions for making it more self-hosted-friendly?

I’d really appreciate it if you could take a look and share your thoughts. Bugs, ideas, or gaps in the self-hosting experience—let me know, and I’ll prioritize improvements.

Thanks in advance for your feedback! 🙏
