Comment on Self-Hosted setup for remote music lessons?

Tangent, unsolicited:
Music lessons over video call, that has to be a real pain. I can’t find it now, but there’s an Adam Neely video where he talks about why online recording sessions can’t work, as transmission latency works against the immediacy needed to play music together. He said it better than I can.
Except if your idea is to play in turns, but then capturing the thing you want to show… Can’t you find another teacher closer to you?
Yeah, I am havong mixed feelings about this. But at least during Covid, it was apparently the norm, so it must work, somehow…
I could find a teacher closer to me, but for one thing, I only have a boke available, and biking ~10km with the cello on my back is not something I look forward to doing on a regular basis. The other thing is that I consider this teacher a friend, she’s given me lessonsfor more than a decade in the past, and I know we vibe well together.
No harm in giving it a try, but I personally wouldn’t bother with a selfhosted solution for it. Especially if you’re not sure it will work out.

I took lessons over zoom for years, and it works fine. Is not a recording session, you don’t need to play together.

Well, paint me green and call me a pickle. More power to you if it works. 😊
