Rocket.Chat App for Jitsi

Apps.Jitsi

Rocket.Chat App for Jitsi

Installation

Install the app via the Rocket.Chat Marketplace or download the source code and build the app by yourself. You would need the Rpcket.Chat App Engine CLI to do so. To deploy a self-build app to your server, make sure to have the App development mode enabled (Administration - General - Apps - Enable develpment mode). Use the following command to deploy the app: rc-apps deploy --url http://localhost:3000 --username <username> --password <password>

Usage

This app provides a Slashcommand. Simply type /jitsi in any message window and send the message. You can set a custom room name by adding the @ symbol to the message /jitsi @MyRoomExample. Please note that this app uses the Jitsi server specified in your Rocket.Chat Video settings: Administration - Video Conference - Jitsi

Settings

The following settings can be set via Administration - Apps - Jitsi Slash Command

JWT Token

When authentication via JSON Web Tokens (JWT) is enabled on your Jitsi instance, you may want to add a static token for each conference link generated to allow users to enter the conference. This token can be generated here: jwt.io. It is recommended to set an expiration date when creating the token. The token can not be limited to a dedicated room as the same token is added to every conference link. To set the JWT Token, just paste to the corresponding text box in your app settings.

Latest jitsi server versions don’t accept “sub” with server name

I am using the server version 7287-2 together with rocketchat and jwt authentication without any issues.
After upgrading server to the latest version 8138-1, the authentication doesn’t work anymore because the generated jwt put server name as “sub” (as example “sub”: “meet.myserver.com”,). I tried few months ago another new version , but then I had not time to debug the issue(probably 7648-4). The error I get is : “Sorry! You are not allowed to be here :(”

If I change the the jwt with (“sub”: “*”, ) everything is working fine and the jitsi conference is opening fine.

More details here:

[IMPORTANT] Jitsi Meet no longer support anonymous creation of rooms

Since August 24th, according to this blog post, Jitsi Meet no longer support the anonymous creation of rooms on meet.jit.si, and will require the use of an account.

I already have a Jitsi server running (way before this announcement) and it would be nice to have a way to specify the URL for the Jitsi server, since self hosted servers doesn't have these restrictions.

Cheers

Jitsi missing configuration

Hello,

Two nights ago, some kind of update happened as it seems and it messed up Jitsi configuration.
We managed to enable it again, but the strange thing is that it was missing from Marketplace and needed to be enabled again. After it was enabled in Marketplace, the Community version was active and needed to be synced again to go back to the Starter version. The only thing about what happened I was able to find in the Docker log but it is not very clear to me:

{"t":{"$date":"2024-05-22T04:00:23.790+00:00"},"s":"I", "c":"COMMAND", "id":51803, "ctx":"conn37","msg":"Slow query","attr":{"type":"command","ns":"meteor.$cmd","command":{"update":"rocketchat_apps","updates":[{"q":{"id":"3b387ba9-f57c-44c6-9810-8c0256abd64c"},"u":{"$set":{"_id":"655dfc190ca1277588754aae","id":"3b387ba9-f57c-44c6-9810-8c0256abd64c","info":{"id":"3b387ba9-f57c-44c6-9810-8c0256abd64c","version":"2.0.6","requiredApiVersion":"^1.33.0","iconFile":"icon.png","author":{"name":"Rocket.Chat Technologies Corp.","homepage":["https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat"](https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat),"support":["https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat"](https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat)},"name":"Jitsi","nameSlug":"jitsi","classFile":"src/JitsiApp.js","description":"Jitsi Conference Calls Provider","implements":[]}}}}]},"numYields":0,"reslen":245,"locks":{"ParallelBatchWriterMode":{"acquireCount":{"r":1}},"FeatureCompatibilityVersion":{"acquireCount":{"r":1,"w":1}},"ReplicationStateTransition":{"acquireCount":{"w":2}},"Global":{"acquireCount":{"r":1,"w":1}},"Database":{"acquireCount":{"w":1}},"Collection":{"acquireCount":{"w":1}},"Mutex":{"acquireCount":{"r":1}}},"flowControl":{"acquireCount":1,"timeAcquiringMicros":3},"readConcern":{"level":"local","provenance":"implicitDefault"},"writeConcern":{"w":"majority","wtimeout":0,"provenance":"implicitDefault"},"storage":{"data":{"bytesRead":37053,"timeReadingMicros":469}},"remote":"172.20.0.2:60796","protocol":"op_msg","durationMillis":123},"truncated":{"command":{"updates":{"0":{"u":{"$set":{"info":{"iconFileContent":{"type":"string","size":9951}}}}}}}},"size":{"command":37037}}

I was also checking 3b387ba9-f57c-44c6-9810-8c0256abd64c file, but it looks like there is no complete info.
Also, I was not able to find anything about the update online and was just wondering if you can point me in the right direction or if you know something.

Thanks

App doesn't honour configuration in "Video Conference"

With the slash jitsi app installed, the /jitsi command launches a conference on the public Jitsi server rather than the one configured for the RocketChat instance. Expected (security model) behaviour would be to default to the configured Jitsi Meet instance.

Inserts hyphen into auto-generated room name - not accepted

Jitsi does not appear to allow anything but alpha-numeric room names. Auto-generated rooms names contain a "-" and therefore do not work.

Deployment error: createRequire is not a function

Hi there,

I was trying to deploy your app to a fresh instance of Rocket.Chat using the rc-app deploy command.
rc-apps deploy --url http://localhost:3000 --username myuser --password mypass

When I do so, the following output is produced:

Starting App Deployment to Server
Getting Server Info... ✓
Packaging the app... ✖
› Error: ⟿ createRequire is not a function

Do you know how to fix it?

I enabled the development mode as suggested here: https://docs.rocket.chat/apps-development/getting-started/creating-an-example-app

Node version

v10.19.0

Rc-apps version

reset default jitsi room name

Hello!

How do I reset the jitsi room name to its default? I set the name with /jitsi @interesting_name. But now I'm not able to reset it to the state where it picks up a random name. Any ideas?

cheers, t.

Questions to Jitsi Conference Calls Provider

When is a video call ended ? When all participants hang up ? Does the status of the video call change ?
For us it looks like this after a video call:
All participants hang up. However, the video call is still actively visible afterwards. How can this be ended correctly ?

It would be expected that the video call is terminated and the status changes.

Is this a bug or something I can change in the (file) settings ?

[bug] Symbol `&` brakes naming

Symbol & in chats name brakes room naming in Jitsi call

Jitsi Meet intergration: Camera is "disabled" by default - How can I change the default setting to "enabled" ?

Just a quick question:
Jitsi Meet intergration: Camera is "disabled" by default - How can I change the default setting to "enabled" ?

I'm speaking on this camera setting in Rocket.Chat. This is disabled by default.

Jitsi Meet integration app breaks links when user being called has punctuation in their username

When testing this Jitsi Meet integration app I tried calling the rocket.cat bot (this test instance doesn’t have any other accounts yet), and I discovered an unusual edge case that breaks the expected functionality.

It seems the Jitsi Meet integration app is unaware of Jitsi's URL requirements not to use punctuation in the URL. For example, this URL has a “.cat” at the end (presumably inherited from the rocket.cat bot’s username) and results in a 404 on the Jitsi Meet web UI:

https://meet.example.com/FYJpKZKmGcSqNr6zSdWPhvJpbfSnW6FXGmrocket.cat

[Feature Request] help text for jitsi slash command

Hello!
Thanks for that wonderful app. Love it! Can we have a simple help text for the slash command though? Currently it looks like this:

/jitsi undefined

Would be easier if we had:

/jitsi @yourroomname </grey italic>

cheers, t.
