How to configure jitsi components?

[laundmo]

i cannot find the config files.

normally the config files for jitsi are in /etc/jitsi but those dont exist on my host.

are the config files stored anywhere else? is there a volume (or PersitentStorageClaim as my research has found its called in kubernetes) mounted anywhere to store the config files?

similar problem here, can't find the nginx index.html, in an normal installation it should be /usr/share/nginx. Assuming it is some kind of container. Don't get this kubes etc.

team-container is what it's name says - a container based system. It uses Kubernetes, Rancher, helm... The basic configuration is done with the values-*.yaml files.

You can interact with them - for example:

# To list the containers (pods):
kubectl get pods
# To show logs of a pod
kubectl logs <PodName>
# Attach to a pod (aka chroot/login)
kubectl attach <PodName> -i 
# Exec commands
kubectl exec <PodName> -- ls /

Examples from my system:

List pods

❯ kubectl get pods

Hi there, don't worry. Next tuesday I will write some docs on how to get configuration into the containers – the stable and container way!

[fatango]

Wow, quick answers, thanks a lot! I understand the general concept of containers and dockers but to edit "preconfigured machines" is another story for me. Waiting for your article.

[fatango]

I edited the default nginx landingpage, my cumbersome way is to copy a new index.html into the container kubectl cp index.html landingpage-5f8f86854-dws8c:/usr/share/nginx/html/index.html After a server-restart pod resets and the old index.html is restored. How to store changed files in a pod/container? How to edit files in a container; mount a directory into the container?

I look forward to it too, as a Kubernetes- and Docker-Noob I need all the guidance available. Especially the performance enhancements by changing some values in the config.js could make Jitsi Meet significantly more useful for meetings with many users.

[rowie]

any news about documentation?

[dagee]

Some good news about the documentation? I'm searching for a way to:

• change settings for OpenSlides
• change the certificates for the webserver to own certs
• set mailserver to send invitations look for ways to handle the stuff, when needed

Hallo, I got a problem with screen sharing of word documents using the current version of jitsi meet: After a short time the video drops so that the clients only see the initials of the user instead of the shared document. The error is known by the developers and the Workaround for this issue is to set inside of the existing videobridge { ... } structure in jvb.conf

    cc {
        trust-bwe=false
    }

So how we can add this modification to /etc/jitsi/videobridge/jvb.conf ?

Thank you
