Hi all!
We have managed to get an initial Jitsi package out. It does not yet have LDAP integration, but that will come. Further the STUN and TURN servers are set, but not yet fully working. There is still the port 443 issue for this in certain circumstances. We have to see how far we can get there.
We have published it as unstable for now to gather initial feedback. As always unstable versions might not properly migrate existing data.

I haven't noticed any issues yet. Thanks @staff for all the hard work on this!

Just in case - it seems like there is still an issue on having Jitsi working in NAT-ed environments (https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/7473/no-sound-in-jitsi/42)

A little bit off-topic: Mailbox.org is switching away from Jitsi according to their recent newsletter:
We would like to inform you about an important change to our
video conferencing services. [...] From March 1, 2024, we will only offer OpenTalk and discontinue Jitsi.Jitsi was once introduced as a temporary solution during the pandemic, but in our opinion is no longer fit for the future in terms of user-friendliness, security security and performance.
[...]
Your advantages with OpenTalk
Compared to Jitsi, OpenTalk offers an intuitive, friendly interface and improved voice and image quality. It can be used directly in the browser as usual. (And what will please technicians: It has a modern software architecture and is written in Rust, a programming language

@necrevistonnezr said in Jitsi:
Mailbox.org is switching away
One bit of context that is not in the post is that OpenTalk is developed by the same people/company that are operating mailbox.org

What about https://github.com/element-hq/element-call instead?

@potemkin_ai Doesn't seem like it's ready standalone: https://github.com/element-hq/element-call#host-it-yourself

@potemkin_ai cool, hopefully you can build it without the homeserver caveats.
