Mageia forum

Hello,
I use cauldron and I would like to install my own jitsi-meet server do video-conferences with several friends. We could of course use a server like meet.jit.si but I don't like the principle that my data are proceeded in foreign country when it's not necessary.
I've seen there is a jitsi package in cauldron distribution, but it looks it's not the proper one as it doesn't supply prosody server and jicofo server that are needed for jitsi-meet.

what is this package for?

I've tried to compile prosody from source with success but it's not fonctionnal as prosodyctl complain about some lua modules lacking even if they are installed.

I've seen also that in Mageia 4 a prosody package exist and I tried to rebuild it. Rebuilding worked but I have the same trouble as direct compilation with lacking lua-sec and lua-expat modules . It may be a trouble between the two version that are present on the cauldron distribution (5.2 still necessary as a lot of package depends on it and 5.3 which is not removable in drakrpm).
I've tried also with no success whether a package from Fedora could be installed. The one of fc32 use lua5.4 and fc31 lua5.3 exactly and cauldron version is lua5.3.5. So now I don't know too much what to do.
Any ideas?

Well, it's the normal jitsi client.

For your issues with prosody, you might want to add some details ...

I thougth jitsi-meet needed no client except on android and work just from a web browser!
more details for prosody hereafter:
when I run prosodyctl status I get this result

Code: Select all

prosodyctl status

**************************
Prosody was unable to find luaexpat
This package can be obtained in the following ways:

        Debian/Ubuntu:    sudo apt-get install lua-expat
        luarocks:         luarocks install luaexpat
        Source:           http://matthewwild.co.uk/projects/luaexpat/

luaexpat is required for Prosody to run, so we will now exit.

I apply the precipices using luarocks and that looks to work as it compile the module and termine telling it's installed in /usr:

Code: Select all

luarocks install luaexpat

It's the same for luasec,
but it install everything for version 5.2:

Code: Select all

find / -mount -name luaexpat
/usr/lib/luarocks/rocks-5.2/luaexpat


whereas the lua version is:

Code: Select all

lua -v

renaming /usr/lib/luarocks/rocks-5.2 /usr/lib/luarocks/rocks-5.3 has no effect

That is with the rebuilt Mageia 4 prosody package or with a current version of prosody ?

That's with the current version of prosody 0.11.7 compiled from sources
