HowTo Install Video Conference system on Nethserver

alefattorini · July 23, 2015, 2:55pm

These are useful tips, what do you think to write down a guideline for next howtos?
Newcomers are new to NethServer devel concepts so point out to this rules (with links to developer manual) is going to be a standard approach

it’s not a matter of writing an howto, but how to integrate a package in NS

rules are:

never, Never, NEVER instal dev tools/compilers on your server
always use rpms and yum… almost everything is available as a rpm, even if on external repo (epel, rpmforge etc)
if a rpm package is not available… well, you’d study a bit how to create one starting from a .tgz package and a .spec file
never edit conf file and / or create firewall rules via direct editing or cli (iptables…)
re-think everything needed to configure/start service in a db/fragments/template/event perspective

that’s all, and it’s likely enough to start

I ran into a few problems while going through this how to:

update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/jar jar /usr/java/jdk1.8.0_45/bin/jar 20000 failed to read link /usr/bin/jar: No such file or directory
wget http://it.apache.contactlab.it/openmeetings/3.0.6/bin/apache-openmeetings-3.0.6.zip - not found
I used wget http://it.apache.contactlab.it/openmeetings/3.0.7/bin/apache-openmeetings-3.0.7.zip
service red5 status - red5 dead but pid file exists
http://my.local.ip:5080/openmeetings/install - ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

when I cd to /opt/red5 and run ./red5.sh I get the following errors:

Any help will be appreciated

I hope that @enzoturri could help you

enzoturri · February 25, 2016, 4:37pm

I’m sorry for waiting but I had a bit of trouble.

This weekend I will try to repeat the process on a clean installation, and with the new release

Which java version you downloaded ? jdk-8u45-linux-x64 or newer ?

correct and thanks for the tip. I correct documentation.
You use Nethserver 6.7?

enzoturri · February 29, 2016, 8:38pm

damn I had several problems.
finally it worked.
the problem is java.
I used:

   yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk icedtea-web

as soon as possible I will correct documentation

enzoturri · March 1, 2016, 4:07pm

The documentation has been updated

GG_jr · October 20, 2018, 8:40am

Hi @enzoturri,

Some questions, if you don’t mind:

Did you try Openmeeting on NS 7?
Is this documentation available for NS 7?
there is something different if I want to install through NS Virtualhost Module ( I want to have statistics with AWSTATS by @stephdl)

TIA,
Gabriel

EDIT:

I found this:

Just as a point of information, Nextcloud now offers Nextcloud Talk, which would give you at least the majority of this capability with a pushbutton installation.

GG_jr · October 20, 2018, 4:35pm

Hi @danb35,

Thank you for the tip.
I need webinar sessions with our customers. This option is not free for Nextcloud/Nextcloud Talk.

danb35 · October 20, 2018, 4:37pm

Yep, that’s one of the few things Nextcloud doesn’t do (at least not without paying extra). Just thought I’d toss it out there if it would do what you need.
