Package Installation

If you want to install it on the Debian & Ubuntu based operating systems.

Prerequisites: edumeet will run on nodejs v10.x and later versions. (v12.x has a know issue for now, please until it will be fixed use the 10.x version) To install see here here.
Download .deb package from here (job artifact)
Unzip the file

$ unzip edumeet.zip

Install the package

$ sudo apt install edumeet/edumeet.deb

After package installation, don't forget the configure ip address in config file.

$ sudo nano /etc/meeting/server-config.js

Finally, start the service by (it's enabled by default)

$ sudo systemctl start edumeet

Manual installation

Prerequisites: Currently edumeet will only run on nodejs v13.x To install see here here.

$ sudo apt install git npm build-essential redis

Clone the project:

$ git clone https://github.com/edumeet/edumeet.git
$ cd edumeet

Copy server/config/config.example.js to server/config/config.js :

$ cp server/config/config.example.js server/config/config.js

Copy app/public/config/config.example.js to app/public/config/config.js :

$ cp app/public/config/config.example.js app/public/config/config.js

Edit your two config.js with appropriate settings (listening IP/port, logging options, valid TLS certificate, don't forget ip setting in last section in server config: (webRtcTransport), etc).
Set up the browser app:

$ cd app
$ npm install
$ npm run build

This will build the client application and copy everythink to server/public from where the server can host client code to browser requests.

Set up the server:

$ cd ..
$ cd server
$ npm install

Run it locally

Run the Node.js server application in a terminal:

$ cd server
$ npm start

Note: Do not run the server as root. If you need to use port 80/443 make a iptables-mapping for that or use systemd configuration for that (see further down this doc).
Test your service in a webRTC enabled browser: https://yourDomainOrIPAdress:3443/roomname

Deploy it in a server

Stop your locally running server. Copy systemd-service file edumeet.service to /etc/systemd/system/ and check location path settings:

$ cp edumeet.service /etc/systemd/system/
$ edit /etc/systemd/system/edumeet.service

Reload systemd configuration and start service:

$ systemctl daemon-reload
$ systemctl start edumeet

If you want to start edumeet at boot time:

$ systemctl enable edumeet

Ports and firewall

3443/tcp (default https webserver and signaling - adjustable in server/config.js)
4443/tcp (default npm start port for developing with live browser reload, not needed in production environments - adjustable in app/package.json)
40000-49999/udp/tcp (media ports - adjustable in server/config.js)

Load balanced installation

To deploy this as a load balanced cluster, have a look at HAproxy.

Learning management integration

To integrate with an LMS (e.g. Moodle), have a look at LTI.

TURN configuration

You need an additional TURN-server for clients located behind restrictive firewalls! Add your server and credentials to server/config/config.js
