Alright so federation is working but some rooms don't (maybe they time out because a bridge is down??)

[yusf]

@msbt Many thanks! Can’t wait to try it.

[technotame]

I have the same issue as @murgero, I can now see federated rooms, but I get an error when trying to join them.

[murgero]

@technotame what's weirder for me is that a few rooms work.

[msbt]

I've tried several channels in both directions and it was looking good. Make sure to clear your caches and maybe give the servers more ressources regarding ram, bigger channels are very hungry.

[murgero]

@msbt yea, my container has 4GB ram. Cache was cleared and new app installed (to avoid configuration issues)

[msbt]

@murgero what's the errormessage in that case? For me it said that it can't preview the room, but joining is no problem afterwards.

[murgero]

@msbt some are "This room cannot be previewed, you must join to continue" where others are "This room is unavailable at this time"blah blah with similar output in the error logs as I mentioned above.

[msbt]

That's odd, I'm able to join any (existing) channel on the matrix network and some others as well, but those are only official networks. Maybe you guys could pm me on the chat I can try by myself. Either way, 1.1.0 got released and is already updated, maybe you could try with the new image again.

[murgero]

@msbt What is your Matrix id?

[msbt]

you can find me at @matthias:matrix.bits.at - let me know if that doesn't work

[murgero]

Hmmm it didn't work for me. I'll update with logs later when I'm home.

[murgero]

@msbt try me: @murgero:matrix.urgero.org

[msbt]

@technotame do you still have problems? If so, please use the federation tester to see if the target server maybe has some issues.

Also, pushed another update for riot to v1.2.4.

[technotame]

I believe it is mostly working. The link you provided gave all green checks. I think the main issue was the small amount of RAM Matrix and/or Riot was given by default. I bumped them both up to 2 gigs or so and that seemed to be the main fix.

[yusf]

@msbt Performed the upgrade. Everything seem to work as good as the old version. Need to manually edit Synapse and TURN config files to be able to report back on things like group video chat but 1on1 voice and video calls works regardless for me (at least between users on the same server)

Many thanks for your effort. You’re effectively enabling Matrix adoption for several communities.

[msbt]

thanks @yusf, glad to hear that! maybe you can share the info if something is not working out of the box for group video chat so I can adjust the code

yes @technotame, bigger channels require a lot of ram, like the #matrix:matrix.org one with several 1000s of users, <2GB probably won't do it, maybe if you're very patient, but the more the better

[yusf]

I’ll be sure to do that. Thanks again.

[yusf]

Hi @msbt! Sadly I haven't had the time to configure and test the TURN-server.

The server has been online and stable for months btw. I'm looking to expand it with app services, webhooks for instance. However, I'm unsure on how to proceed since the Cloudron app is only configured for specific ports only and so on, limiting installing app services in Cloudron user space. Would you be interested in adding a bunch of useful default but opt-in app services?

[msbt]

hey @yusf, happy to see other people using the package

I would be happy to add more features/packages, in this case it really needs to be added in the app itself and can't be run as a regular integration. I've been thinking about including other addons as well (this seems to be an extensive setup where we could pick things that are nice2have). Let me know what might be interesting for you and I see what I can do about it.

Although it might be a good idea if either @girish or @nebulon also take a look at those and maybe give some pointers, I don't want to spend time on something which they can either do way more quickly and/or don't want in an app at all
