jitsi-videobridge : PreDepends: openjdk-8-jre-headless but it is not installable

[ischtar]

Hi I've debian buster and wanted to install jitsi-meet. My installed OpenJDK Java runtime is openjdk-11-jre-headless. When I try to install jitsi-videobridge (or jicofo etc), I got: PreDepends: openjdk-8-jre-headless but it is not installable. Backporting debian is not my favorite solution. Does anyone have another solution for me? Thanks!

Currently running with java8 is a requirement. Running with a newer java version is not supported at the moment. We will update it at some point, but we haven't started work on that. So any help is welcome.

Oh ok, sorry for that. And thank you for your answer!

apt install jitsi-meet on Debian 10 works file and installs Java 11. I reckon this can be closed.

On Debian Testing (currently 11 Bullseye), I had massive problems with jvb (no java machine error). Followed this step: apt remove --purge openjdk-17-jre-headless

It reverted automatically to the following version: openjdk-11-jre-headless/testing,now 11.0.11+4-1 amd64 [installed,automatic]

java --version gives the result below. openjdk 11.0.11-ea 2021-04-20 OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.11-ea+4-post-Debian-1) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0.11-ea+4-post-Debian-1, mixed mode, sharing)

The end result is good. root@fugaku:/var/log/jitsi# systemctl status jitsi-videobridge2.service ● jitsi-videobridge2.service - Jitsi Videobridge Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/jitsi-videobridge2.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Sun 2021-04-04 13:57:12 UTC; 5min ago Process: 12161 ExecStartPost=/bin/bash -c echo $MAINPID > /var/run/jitsi-videobridge/jitsi-videobridge.pid (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
