Arch Linux User Repository

@celogeek

I FINALLY GOT IT WORKING YAY :) I followed your guide like i said, but i found one part where i didn't change focusUser to focus in the prosody config. After that it works.

I got websockets and restricted config working too. However, you have one error in your guide. The plugin for web sockets in prosody config is not "websockets" but "websocket". Thank you for the excellent guide and your help.

@celogeek

Sorry for the delay. Finally got the time to mess with this. I followed your posted guide exactly (great write up btw). I am still getting the same error. Checked console and this is what I get,

"2020-11-16T22:25:11.371Z [conference.js] <ee._onConferenceFailed>: CONFERENCE FAILED: conference.videobridgeNotAvailable"

but I know the video bridge is running?

Also your guide references /etc/webapps/jitsi-meet-web but it is /etc/webapps/jitsi-meet

If you update from an old version, be sure you follow the new place of the config. This is now placed in /etc/webapps/jitsi-meet /etc/jicofo /etc/jitsi-videobridge

And prosody config need to be update also.

They are some examples in the doc directory.

Can you try this tutorial:

https://blog.celogeek.com/posts/linux/archlinux/2020-06-jitsi-meet-on-arch-linux/

Also, check the inspector in your browser to see the error exactly.

I, for the life of me, can not seem to get this to work. I had it working a few version ago, but now whenever another device connects to the room, the room crashes and says "unfortunately something went wrong." I clean uninstalled everything, and reinstalled, following the Arch Wiki exactly, and then I followed the Jitsi self hosting manual, still the same results.

Again, just trying to get a default setup working. I even waiting for a bin update, to see if it was just this version having problems, but no.

Logs are also not giving me helpful solutions either.

Is anyone else having this struggle getting a basic setup working?

Done

We make the nightly and the stable look alike. The config path now for jitsi-meet is /etc/webapps/jitsi-meet (more like arch path)

@C0rn3j, would you mind updating? version 1.0.4289 is available.

@quartic would you mind updating the package?

Version 1.0.4127 is available.

Hi,

This package is late We can have a latest release by checking:

curl --silent "https://api.github.com/repos/jitsi/jitsi-meet/releases/latest" | jq -r .name
