Notes on setting up Jitsi Meet on a personal server. Main thing is to note what we'd need to do to get this set up on an hcoop server

1. Setup Script

https://jitsi.github.io/handbook/docs/devops-guide/devops-guide-quickstart

Followed the script and got a working install.

• We'll need to set config to provide our own cert
• jitsi-meet needs nginx out of the box

  • /etc/nginx/sites-available/sites-available/meet.unknownlamer.org.conf

• Has its own xmpp server, prosidy (I think in theory we could integrate the videobridge with jabber but in practice probably not worth it at our scale)

Working config out of the box, if we accept having to run this on a dedicated server.

2. Security

https://jitsi.github.io/handbook/docs/devops-guide/secure-domain

Need to adapt to kerberos, will have to use SASL: https://prosody.im/doc/cyrus_sasl

3. FSF setup

3.1. Useful snippets

- name: custom css
  lineinfile:
    path: /usr/share/jitsi-meet/css/all.css
    line: ".header-text-description, .unsupported-desktop-browser__description {display:none!important}"

- name: fellow hacker
  replace:
    path: /usr/share/jitsi-meet/interface_config.js
    regexp: "Fellow Jitster"
    replace: "Fellow Hacker"

- name: link
  replace:
    path: /usr/share/jitsi-meet/interface_config.js
    regexp: "https://jitsi.org"
    replace: "https://{{ inventory_hostname }}/"


- name: hide logo
  replace:
    path: /usr/share/jitsi-meet/interface_config.js
    regexp: "SHOW_WATERMARK_FOR_GUESTS: true,"
    replace: "SHOW_WATERMARK_FOR_GUESTS: false,"

- name: hide logo
  replace:
    path: /usr/share/jitsi-meet/interface_config.js
    regexp: "SHOW_JITSI_WATERMARK: true,"
    replace: "SHOW_JITSI_WATERMARK: false,"


- name: copy watermark logo
  copy:
    src: files/LPlogo.png
    dest: /usr/share/jitsi-meet/images/watermark.png
    owner: root
    group: root
    mode: 0444
  when: j.stat.exists

3.2. Custom index

https://vcs.fsf.org/?p=jitsi-ansible.git;a=blob;f=files/index.html;h=ab0a76f3973b53069ec884b7dcea67931c585a5f;hb=HEAD

We'll want to customize the css at least to match our usual color schema and insert the hcoop logo, and something like the blurb about the coop we include on git.hcoop.net

Also, do we want to add librejs info? Not sure what the licensing on the youtube stuff is...
