VTT (Virtual Tabletop)? (lemmy.8th.world)

I am playing TTRPG remotely. For this, I was using far.app, a js app, which permit to link Game Master and Players in order to share Character sheets, dice roles, some index cards (set up as a "scene").

Would you know an open-source software that I could self-host to basically have a board with multiple users at once.

Yes. The backend service they rely on has changed its API and they said that they have no plan at all to follow. I discovered them only after they left peerJs (an alternative, which is interoperable and open source).

I know the developer got disenchanted with the project and is focusing on his games. Didn't know there were technical issues. Is it easy to self host?

Self hosting the frontend is eas but since 2 weeks, the frontend doesn't connect to the backend, a private company which updated theeir API.
