Jitsi Meet
-
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).

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

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

Hi @nebulon and @girish,
Is the jitsi-meet app still in the backlog and are there any more concrete plans with it?
Did I get it right that a TURN-server is already implemented as an integrated cloudron service?
Would it be possible to install jitsi-meet with docker manually next to cloudron and its apps (and use the TURN-server coming with cloudron, if it does)?
(I actually came here by looking for a (hassle free) way to get nextcloud and jitsi-meet running on a single vServer/VPS. - Do you think this is possible in general, at all?)Thanks!

Yes, but I think it still needs some work to get it right/ more usable, see this post by @girish https://forum.cloudron.io/post/23347

It's generally not a good idea to install other things alongside Cloudron.

That'll be easy once Jitsi has been packaged, and it's still marked as a Work in Progress https://forum.cloudron.io/tags/wip
I'm not sure of the current status, but it doesn't look like there have been any related commits for 4 months:

Thanks a lot, @jdaviescoates for the reply and the advice regarding separate installations!
I also saw the activity apparently halted at the jitis-app repo, that's why I was asking. But judging from the cross-linked bbb-thread, there seems to be work still going on in the direction of this app, so this is good news.However, here is a (possibly naive) thought (without any deeper understanding of the matter):
Since the main problem seems to be to get a TURN server running on the same instance as the other cloudron apps, and since a TURN-server is optional anyway, wouldn't it be possible to include the jitsi-meet app into the cloudron app repository without a TURN server and create an additional repository, say "cloudron_dedicated" or "cloudron_exclusive", with a collection of apps that can only be installed exclusively on a separate/dedicated server? This app repo could include, besides a TURN-server app, also BigBlueButton (which according to their docs also requires a dedicated server to run on) and possibly other apps as well. Does this make any sense? -

I'm not sure, but I don't think that is the main problem.
There is already a TURN addon running on the same instance. As I understand it it's just the the TURN addon needs to be better to support more ports, hence making it more usable.
@hutzacharus said in Jitsi Meet:

It's not really optionally if you want to talk to people on other network (which is normally that case for the vast majority of video calls).
@hutzacharus said in Jitsi Meet:

I could be wrong, but I don't think it is TURN server issues that are holding up the packaging of jitsi (or BBB), just that is a complicated app that is hard to package (and in the case of BBB there isn't even a stable version that'll run on Ubuntu 18.04 yet).

I'm not sure it does!
At present there is no way for different instances Cloudrons on to connect and play nicely together, although as I understand it there are plans afoot for that (and yeah, for BBB especially it sounds like that would make sense because they recommend a dedicated server for that - although I've also heard of people running it fine on a VPS)

It's in our plans. In fact, for many months now but we have been swamped with other things

I am using jitsi as well, if I could host this via cloudron that would be amazing.

Jitsi Meet is an excellent suggestion and there has been an awful lot of extra work put into it lately. There is also:
