Overview

The videoconference module brings videoconference support into the OpenPaaS platform. It is composed of several components:

• A frontend application. Built using Vue.
• 2 OpenPaaS core components. Built using angularjs and nodeJS.
• A ‘backend’ component: Jitsi

Installation

This guide provides you all the steps required to intall the videoconference application.

1. Install Jitsi

We use a modified version of the Jitsi docker-compose project to run jitsi locally:

• Clone https://ci.linagora.com/linagora/lgs/openpaas/docker-jitsi-meet
• Switch to openpaas-dev branch
• Start jitsi: docker-compose up -d
• Jitsi is now up and running, you can join conference on http://localhost:8000

2. Install the required modules

The videoconference application comes with 2 core modules:

1. linagora.esn.videoconference provides core videoconference integration within OpenPaaS
2. linagora.esn.videoconference.calendar provides calendar module integration

As any other modules, clone them from git and use npm link to install them in OpenPaaS:

git clone https://ci.linagora.com/linagora/lgs/openpaas/linagora.esn.videoconference.git
git clone https://ci.linagora.com/linagora/lgs/openpaas/linagora.esn.videoconference.calendar.git

cd linagora.esn.videoconference
npm install
npm link

cd ../
cd linagora.esn.videoconference.calendar
npm install
npm link

cd $ESN_PATH # your ESN folder
npm link linagora.esn.videoconference
npm link linagora.esn.videoconference.calendar

Finally, add linagora.esn.videoconference and linagora.esn.videoconference.calendar in the modules array of $ESN_PATH/config/default.json.

3. Install the videoconference application

In order to work, the ESN must be configured with several URLs:
