Registering unmanaged servers with JackTrip.com does not require a paid subscription. Using the jacktrip/studio container with a paid subscription will enable your unmanaged studio servers to use all the features included. Without a paid subscription, your unmanaged studios will still be able use all the features included in the "Lite" plan.

Open your studio dashboard and go to the "Settings" tab. Find the "Server Settings" pane and select "Unmanaged."

A dialog will appear asking for your server's hostname. If you are running a full-featured studio server, enter your fully-qualified domain name (FQDN). If you are running an audio-only server, you can enter either a FQDN or an IP address (even a private IP address). Click "Yes, convert to unmanaged" to confirm.
