Overte Domain Server on Ubuntu 24.04

Overview

Overte is a free, open source platform for building and hosting shared virtual worlds and social VR spaces, continuing the engine originally created as High Fidelity. This appliance runs the self hosted Overte domain server together with the assignment clients that make a world live: the audio and avatar mixers that let visitors hear and see each other, the entity and asset servers that hold the objects and content of the space, the entity script server that runs its interactive logic, and the messages mixer that carries communication between clients. Point an Overte or compatible client at the running domain and people can meet, talk and explore inside a persistent world that you own and run yourself, rather than on a hosted service.

Common uses

• Host a persistent social VR world for a community or team
• Run a private metaverse space for events, meetups or education
• Operate a self hosted virtual world on infrastructure you control
