Allow to specify hosts hash entries in config.js with properties like org.jitsi.videobridge.ofmeet.hosts.{domain|muc|bridge|focus}

… org.jitsi.videobridge.ofmeet.hosts.{domain|muc|bridge|focus}, fixes #77

[deleolajide]

Thank you for the contribution

There is a system property for the openfire xmpp domain called xmpp.domain. It might be better to use that instead of creating org.jitsi.videobridge.ofmeet.hosts.domain

[guusdk]

As a default, we might want to use the domain name of the first available conference service (which we can lookup), instead of using a hard-coded value.

[nitomartinez]

@deleolajide In our particular case we would like to still use the default xmpp.domain, but have a different value for the org.jitsi.videobridge.ofmeet.hosts.domain (config.js hosts->domain value)

The reasoning behind that is that the XMPP users are: [email protected]

But the URL for jitsi will be https://jitsi.domain.com:7443/ofmeet

Reasoning is that the ips for each domain are different:

• domain.com points to the ip address of the website www.domain.com
• jitsi.domain.com points to a different ip (which is also pointed at with the SRV registry _xmpp-client._tcp and _xmpp-server._tcp for domain.com)

Does this make sense, or is there another way to configure this?

[nitomartinez]

@guusdk how can we lookup the "conference" and other hardcoded value?

[deleolajide]

Does this make sense

No. You have confused me. This is my understanding

ofmeet url
https://domain.com/ofmeet/myconf

openfire
openfire xmpp server = xmpp.domain.com (SRV registry _xmpp-server._tcp)
openfire web server = https://xmpp.domain.com:7443

reverse proxy
nginx web server = https://domain.com

config.js
"hosts": {
"domain": "domain.com",
"focus": "focus.domain.com",
"muc": "conference.domain.com",
"bridge": "jitsi-videobridge.domain.com"
},

Our setup

In our setup the IP of Openfire is not the same as the principal domain, which is used for the company website. That is:

• The IP of domain.com points to IP A.B.C.10
• The IP of xmpp.domain.com points to IP D.E.F.20

Let me know if I have made myself clearer now, as full example, copying your example above:

ofmeet url

https://jitsi.domain.com/ofmeet/myconf

** Company website**
www.domain.com
domain.com

openfire
openfire xmpp server = xmpp.domain.com (SRV registry _xmpp-server._tcp)
openfire web server = https://xmpp.domain.com:7443

reverse proxy
nginx web server = https://jitsi.domain.com
(In our case not implemented yet, but valid option for the discussion**

config.js
"hosts": {
"domain": "jitsi.domain.com",
"focus": "focus.domain.com",
"muc": "conference.domain.com",
"bridge": "jitsi-videobridge.domain.com"
},

[deleolajide]

"domain": "jitsi.domain.com",

I am not sure that is correct. From my experience, that should be domain.com. It is used for the XMPP jingle signalling which requires an XMPP domain name and not a web server domain name.

In my case everything worked fin, until I shared the screen, in that case we got black screens.

Changing the parameter in the config.js seemed to fix it.

But obviously, I have not the view of the full picture, so not sure if this has other effects that I am not foreseeing.

So far everything seems to be working by setting the domain in the config.js (crossing fingers)
