I liked it, but there is still a fair amount of assemby required, and I hope they get it to the point where (like Jitsi) everything is a docker-compose away.

Why did you decide to have it deployed on your own instead of using https://meet.jit.si?
I'm not sure what you mean. A from scratch installation of Galene is just
git clone https://github.com/jech/galene/
cd galene
CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -ldflags='-s -w'
mkdir groups
echo '{"presenter":[{}]}' > groups/demo.json
./galene &
have you looked at running those cheap VMs from say lowendbox.com ? there are good companies like racknerd.com ? not a shill, just a user....
the reason for this is that i have "tried" to go and buy or use one of the 3 major cloud services but they are too darn expensive and complicated. this way you get a panel and an ssh and do what you want for a fixed price
For instance, the server at <https://galene.org:8443> is running on a "Value" OVH VPS (<https://www.ovhcloud.com/en/vps/>) which is rented for under 6€/month. During lockdown, It was regularly used for lectures with 70 students or so, but that's an unfair comparison, since students tend to keep their camera off during the lecture.
