Jitsi Meet

[yusf]

LDAP seems to be supported out of the box in dockerized Jitsi Meet!

Sounds like end to end encryption coming to jitsi soon (although also sounds like perhaps only for chromium/ chrome):

Any news on a Jitsi app on Cloudron?

The Privacy Authority of The Netherlands published a overview of video-call apps (https://autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl/nl/nieuws/keuzehulp-privacy-bij-videobel-apps) and here (https://autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl/sites/default/files/atoms/files/keuzehulp_privacy_videobellen.pdf) you see that it looks like Jitsi is the best choice!

@girish is there any news? Our experience with Kopano Meet was not succesfull and as mentioned above Jitsi is the best solution in this COVID-19 times.

[yusf]

I’m also awaiting Jitsi. Maybe it would also make sense from a (Cloudron) marketing perspective? Like,

Ready to drop Zoom for something free, unlimited and safe? Host Jitsi Meet yourself in 10 clicks with Cloudron.

No major news on this so far, unfortunately it is quite the beast to package with a lot of undocumented configuration options, even their own debian packaging scripts are a hit and miss in our experience. Surely it would be good to have and hopefully eventually we will get there.

[yusf]

@nebulon Keep us posted for any aid you need in furthering this endeavor.

+1 for Jitsi Meet on Cloudron

I'm using Kopano and I don't find it to be as reliable for establishing connections as the public Jitsi server. I would far prefer to use my own machine though.

Is this being actively worked on? Can I help at all, say by testing?

Would it help if there was a small bounty for getting it working (if that is appropriate in this community)?

[girish]

We had postponed this a bit because Jitsi support on Firefox was spotty but that seems to be sorted out now - https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/issues/4758 . (Unrelated, but of course, with all the layoffs at mozilla, I bet it's going to regress more).

[meaculpa]

I'd also +1 Jitsi Meet on Cloudron!! A big "thank you" to the maintainers

[imc67]

Is there any update on this?

The COVID-19 pandemic is (almost everywhere) increasing and measures for working from home are again and/or still there. The public Jitsi service is overloaded so it's very very welcome after all these months to have a Cloudron version of Jitsi-server.

Just another vote in for this. I would love to implement this with my element and matrix instances already on Cloudron. Would be super helpful in these current times.

[jdaviescoates]

@ericdrgn to actually +1 it you need to upvote the original post at the top of the thread

[privsec]

Out of curiosity, is there any progress on adding this app?

[yusf]

@privsec https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/jitsi-app/activity

[privsec]

@yusf I am a web developer. Can I lend a hand at all?

[jdaviescoates]

@privsec have a look at that repo to see if you can pick up where @nebulon and @girish left off?
