Also sorry, I feel I should know this by now, but where are the the app code directories? I can't seem to find them when I ssh on the server. In that case how can I would like to view the content of this file.

That is in the app itself.
You can view that via the web terminal of the app itself.

Is it possible on the forum for a user to mark a post as the solution / mark a topic as solved?

@avatar1024 I have seen many normal users do it. It's under Topic tool -> Ask as question / answer .

Yes. First you have to edit the OP to make it a question. Then you have to mark the solution post as the answer.

For info the variables have changed again since today's update to 1.7.58. It is now:

OIDC_FORCE_USERNAME=false                          # Force the username to match OIDC email or name (true|false)
OIDC_EMAIL_AS_USERNAME=false                       # Set username as email from OIDC (true|false)
OIDC_NAME_AS_USERNAME=true                       # Set username as name from OIDC (true|false)

Oops, my mistake — it's been fixed in v1.7.59.

OIDC_USERNAME_FORCE=false
OIDC_USERNAME_AS_EMAIL=false
OIDC_USERNAME_AS_NAME=true

Is this something which makes sense to include directly in the package or should be left to the user? Can't quite make out what the best default behavior would be

To me it feels like these settings should indeed be included by default in the package. Reasons are:

1. letting users choosing their display name for a meeting is always best, so OIDC_FORCE_USERNAME=false by default in the package seems like a no-brainer.
2. having your email as your username/display name in a meeting seems very weird (though if at least you can change it that's less of a problem > 1.)
3. having your actual name as the default display name seems more logical (though still with the ability to change it > 1.)

What do other people think?

By default, the email is used as the username when OIDC is enabled. This helps maintain user identity and trust, and also ensures that the correct Gravatar is displayed in the room (especially if the camera is off).

Maintaining user identity and trust, and using the correct Gravatar should be dealt with differently by MiroTalk as using email as the username brings a very sub-optimal UX.

Agree: false/false/true would be the best default but configurable in the env
