@hutzacharus said in Jitsi Meet:
Since the main problem seems to be to get a TURN server running on the same instance as the other cloudron apps
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:
and since a TURN-server is optional anyway
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:
wouldn't it be possible to include the jitsi-meet app into the cloudron app repository without a TURN server
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).
@hutzacharus said in Jitsi Meet:
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 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)

@hutzacharus said in Jitsi Meet:
Is the jitsi-meet app still in the backlog and are there any more concrete plans with it?
It's in our plans. In fact, for many months now but we have been swamped with other things

Any updates on jitsi meet?

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