Jitsi Meet

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.

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)?

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).

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.

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?
