Install Instructions need more clarification

Open nightstryke opened this issue 6 years ago • 4 comments

So I've got it semi-running, but not without issues. I've noticed a few issues try to get Jibri running even with youtube and installed properly.

The main problem i had installing was the Prosody issue. Install Instructions state to add setttings to: /etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua

But if you're using a nightly or stable build on Ubuntu 16.04 your prosody configurations will most likely be in: /etc/prosody/conf.avail/sub.mydomain.com.cfg.lua

At the bottom of the file of /etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua it uses an include function for the /etc/prosody/conf.avail/sub.mydomain.com.cfg.lua file.

Question is which is the right way to add the Jibri Prosody settings. Do we add it directly before the include to this file /etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua ? -or- Do we add it at the end of this file /etc/prosody/conf.avail/sub.mydomain.com.cfg.lua ?

In my instance I ended up adding to the /etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua before the include line, but I need to make sure that I shouldn't have added it to the /etc/prosody/conf.avail/sub.mydomain.com.cfg.lua instead.

@damencho any thoughts on this?

Mine is on /etc/prosody/conf.d/custom.domain.ltd.cfg.lua I believe that you should avoid use the default prosody.cfg.lua file, since for any reason a bad prosody upgrade is run, you might loose your changes and configuration.

Just as the apache 000-default, it is better to make a custom file for your domain configuration. My two cents. Cheers!

I would make another question regarding instructions.

On them it is said,

Create a sources.list.d file with the repository:

sudo sh -c "echo 'deb https://download.jitsi.org unstable/' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jitsi-unstable.list"

Which is clearly advocating for the jibri unstable release which is around version 4.1.54-1 My question is if the stable branch isn't recommend (yet) for use?

Thanks for your attention. Cheers!

i don't think we've published anything under stable yet, though we probably should. @aaronkvanmeerten what's the plan there?
