Template Repository

Introduction

This repository is a template for all the repositories that will be used at the hackathon 2024 part of the symposium.

Some elements, such as most of the docker-compose.yml and .env are coming from docker-jitsi-meet

See also the devops-guide-docker documentation for more information.

For now the setup requires authentication for making and joining conf-calls. It does not allow guests.

In order to quickly run Jitsi Meet on a machine running Docker and Docker Compose, follow these steps:

Clone this repository.

Create a .env file by copying and adjusting env.example:

cp env.example .env

Set strong passwords in the security section options of .env file by running the following bash script

./gen-passwords.sh

Create required CONFIG directories

For linux:

mkdir -p ~/.jitsi-meet-cfg/{web,transcripts,prosody/config,prosody/prosody-plugins-custom,jicofo,jvb,jigasi,jibri}

Configure KeyCloak (webUI or through CLI) and set the configuration variables in the .env file:

In the admin webui: Create Client : client_id = jitsi
client authentication: on
authentication flow: check standard flow, unckecl direct access grants
root URL: no implication
home URL: no implication
valid redirect URIs: enter URL of the JITSI that should be loaded after authentication == http://middleware_hostname:9000/*
web origins = http://middleware_hostname:9000/*
credentials tab: take client secret and set below as CLIENT_SECRET

Run docker compose up -d

Access the web UI at https://localhost:8443 (or a different port, in case you edited the .env file).

Requires:

middleware needs to run on 443 with valid SSL
disable HTTP
further work out guest support
have a list of variables for hostname(s), and generate everything using these hostnames
harden all
