Nextcloud Talk high-performance back-end

[jdaviescoates]

@doodlemania2 don't feel bad about it!

But also, great, thanks!

[doodlemania2]

@jdaviescoates I've been trying to get this to work but it just doesn't (based on the docker-compose example). I've reached out to the author of the blog to see if he can assist!

[doodlemania2]

this is ready for testing - please send me a DM if you'd like to try it out!

[girish]

@doodlemania2 great news! Is https://git.cloudron.io/doodlemania2/nthpbe still the latest repo because it says the commits are from 9 months ago.

[doodlemania2]

@girish we can delete that repo actually - instead of creating a fully packaged cloudron custom app, I decided to offer this to the cloudron community for free* from my VPSs.

*standard "be nice folks" or I turn it off

[doodlemania2]

@girish - i'm really embarassed it took that long (9 months!!!)

[jdaviescoates]

@doodlemania2 that's very kind of you!

But it'd still be great to have an app too. Was it just too difficult to package or something?

Thanks for all your efforts!

[doodlemania2]

@jdaviescoates like comical... way too many moving parts

[coniunctio]

@doodlemania2 Are you still sharing access to the Nextcloud Talk high-performance back-end that you have created? If so, how may I contact you to test it?

[doodlemania2]

@coniunctio Pinged you on DM!

[m-si]

I would realy love to see this happening as HPB is a gamechanger for bigger nextclouds. @doodlemania2 do you think that looking into https://github.com/deeztek/deeztek-docker/tree/master/Linux/nextcloud-spreed-signaling might help you with your packageing?

[doodlemania2]

@m-si someone may find a way to package it, however, I've found it to be much easier to run a dedicated set of servers for NTHPBE. I offer it to clients for a pretty low fee in either US or DE if you are at all interested.

[mudassar]

hi all, to bring up something from long ago, is there any chance this may pop up?

[doodlemania2]

@mudassar still offering the service for users - ping me on DM if interested.

I'm just wondering in light of the Jitsi situation (i.e. hard to update), whether it might be worth reviving this thread starting with the package @doodlemania2 made? Or if any other video call app might be simpler to package and maintain on Cloudron (e.g. @Kubernetes made an initial package for MiroTalk but I've got no clue how it compares with Jitsi or NC talk)

For everyone who wants to host it themselves without too much hassle, I have been successfully using this build on a standalone server for some months now: https://github.com/sunweaver/nextcloud-high-performance-backend-setup

@andreasdueren Aaah, fantastic! Thank you for sharing this repo. It was literal child's play building the HA server with that.

[jdaviescoates]

We really need to have this in Cloudron somehow or another, and sooner rather than later, as it's becoming a standard and expected part of Nextcloud.

Case in point: I just installed fresh instance of Nextcloud on one of my Cloudrons and it immediately gave me this error/ warning about the High Performance Backend being missing:

No High-performance backend configured - Running Nextcloud Talk without the High-performance backend only scales for very small calls (max. 2-3 participants). Please set up the High-performance backend to ensure calls with multiple participants work seamlessly. For more details see the documentation .

Sounds like a great solution for now, thanks!

@andreasdueren can you confirm or otherwise if this package includes the ability to record meetings? Thanks!

[andreasdueren]

@jdaviescoates It currently does not.
