Re: [DNG] A way of holding telephone-conferences with DEVUAN?

The Pale Moon upstream chooses not to support WebRTC (
https://www.palemoon.org/roadmap.shtml), so Pale Moon most definitely will
not work with calls like Jitsi Meet, etc. A few months ago it stopped
working with Google Hangouts/Voice voice calls, which I eventually figured
out was because Hangouts moved to WebRTC. I am uncertain if that means the
hangouts plugin uses webrtc, or if the plugin is unnecessary. Regardless,
Pale Moon won't work with Hangouts anymore.

I've had to switch to Chromium on my Devuan (Ceres) instances for voice and
video calls.

I've been unable to get other sites to access my camera & microphone.
There's thie permissions problem.  I can get as far in configuration that I 
find a list of sites authorised to do this.  But it's empty.  It also gives me 
a list of sites that have asked for access, so I can click on one and give ti

them,  There seems to be no way of typng in a URL.  I gave up.

Would that be a problem with Pale Moon?  Does pale Moon otherwise know how to 
find camera or microphone?

No, it does not block any browser. But, it will not work as well (or at
all) with some. I've tested it so far with FF, Safari, Chromium, Chrome,
Pale Moon and IE.

Chrome/Chromium - works consistently all the time
FF -- it works for some, and not for others (I've had no problems).
Safari -  (one machine) was pretty FUBAR. Gave up.
IE -- see Safari
Pale Moon -- it could not figure out where my camera/microphone were

I did not test Edge, but assume it would work ok since the engine is the
same as Chrome, from what I understand (my main interaction with Edge is
disabling it on client machines).

It works very well on Devuan, I am surprised, fine experience.

So, Mac, Windows and Linux/amd64 - a bit better and especially other

On the other hand, never ever support for other CPUs, architectures,

They have already said it will be a paid service for heavier users. 
Everybody charges for this stuff beyond a few users, it ain't cheap to
host.  But Gab has finally got the Open Source religion so we can expect
a code drop for a working video conference system that is fully browser
based on all major platforms since they can't have an app, they are
deplatformed everywhere, even on f-droid.  Adversity inspires
innovation.  They have their own fork of Brave for a browser so expect
the initial target to be the Chromium family tree.

Once server code drops somebody has to figure out how many oddball
dependencies it has and get a package upstream into Debian.  If every
organization could host video conferences internally, and without it
being yet another "dangit, gotta dual boot Windoze to talk to people"
situation, it would be a game changer.

Jitsi "blocks" firefox too.. jitsi meet officially recommends only

work on firefox compatibility has started, but still nothing working...

so even for us ff users, jitsi doesn't work well. (one on one works ok,

Re: [DNG] A way of holding telephone-conferences with DEVUAN?

2020-04-09 Thread Rod Rodolico
Did a little test of Jitsi tonight. First thing is there were no
appreciable cpu or memory requirement increase when multiple users are
connected in a session. However, bandwidth is a consideration. These
readings are from the server.

Started with two users. Bandwidth was at around 8Mb/s, pretty evenly
divided between up and down.

Added third user and the bandwidth went to 15Mb/s again fairly evenly
divided with 8M incoming and 7M outgoing.

The fourth user was having issues with their network connection at their
home, but we saw the bandwidth jump to 20Mb/s for a brief period; too
short for Zabbix to graph (it does 5 minute averages). When the fourth
user disconnected, bandwidth dropped back to 16Mb/s.

Finally, with three users, one user dropped their camera quality
(through the Jitsi interface) to "Low", with an almost immediate drop
from 15-16Mb/s to 13Mb/s. The other two followed suit, dropping their
image quality and we were able to achieve 12Mb/s.

We then stopped the test. Again, not as much information as I would have
preferred, but it gives an indication to those who were wanting to
install a video server on their own machines with limited bandwidth.
Changing image quality is on a per-user basis, on their individual
connection; I'm not aware of any way to do that on the server. However,
there is a lot I don't know about this system.

I think it's pretty horrible for Jitsi to flat out block every other
browser than Chrome or Firefox.

any time I go to a Jitsi server it just gives me a blank blue page
saying this:

It looks like your using a browser we don't support.
Please try again with the latest version of Chrome and Firefox

I have been through the browser wars of the 90s and I sure as hell am
not ready for browser war 2.0 Do we need to bring back the

jitsi can be installed anywhere. https://meet.jit.si is cloud based in
europe dcs, run by jitsi devs, yes. but you don't have to use that,
there are hundrends of other public jitsi meet instances (random list :

Ah, those hosts I rent from Vultr.com at $5.5/m, and admittedly I'm only
guessing they are qemu hosts from some droppings in dmesg. However, I think
I've learnt enough of qemu networking to call it easy, so let me digress this
thread momentarily about this.

The options are many and it depends on your taste. Basically, you'll need to
add two command line "-net" arguments": one for selecting network device in the
guest, and one for identifying the connection facility on the host. Perhaps
like so:
-net nic,macaddr=04:07:a6:c8:34:e2 -net vde,sock=/tmp/vde.ctl

The first says to use the default net device in the guest with the specified
MAC address. The second says to use "vde" networking via the /tmp/vde.ctl
socket directory. vde is installed as "vde2", and I do it this way because it
lets me set up the host side once for any number of concurrent qemu guests.

So for completeness: I would have set up the host with something like the
following:
# ip tuntap add tap0 mode tap user ralph
# ifconfig tap0 10.10.10.1/24 up
# sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
# iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.10.10.0/24 -j MASQUERADE
# dnsmasq -i tap0 -a 10.10.10.1 -I wlan0 -I eth0 -K -D -N -b \
  --dhcp-sequential-ip --dhcp-hostsfile=/home/share/dhcphosts \
  -F 10.10.10.2,10.10.10.254,255.255.255.0,10.10.10.255
$ vde_switch -t tap0 -d

That one is a little bit of a mouthful but it's easily scriptable:
1. create a tap owned by "ralph",
2. configure it with IP 10.10.10.1,
3. enable kernel forwarding,
4. add NAT masquerading for packets from the tap0 network and
5. set up a DHCP responder and DNS forwarder for that interface taking
static ques from the file /home/share/dhcphosts (with lines like
"04:44:25:2f:17:12,beowulf-i386,10.10.10.2", though fully optional)
6. finally, run the vde networking switch as user ralph

Skip point 5 and use static IP set up in the guest if the host's port 53 is
already taken by some other program; dnsmasq gets unrecoverably sulky if it
can't grab that, but there are also other ways to service DHCP. And if you want
to go ipv6, you'll need different steps 2 and 5, but the rest stays the same.

I set up the host side with tap0 "owned" by "ralph" so I can run vde_switch and
the qemu guests as "ralph" (rather than "root"). The set up survives any number
of qemu up/down, separately or concurrently, and I think of it as the easiest
way. It also seems to perform better even than having a separate tap for each
qemu; at least it did that one time when I tested it.

btw, the MAC address choice has some rules apart from needing to be different
from any other MAC address your networking will get to know of. My rule of
thumb is to start with 04, end with 2, and fill the middle "randomly", but keep
the same MAC address allocated for its individual guest system, which I also
keep documented in /home/share/dhcphosts.

yes. There is an icon on the screen (browser based) showing network
speed and drops. It will automagically change frame rate, though that is
not seamless. However, there is a menu item that allows you to change
your image quality from the browser session.

The 8Mb/s was on my server. I believe my client in most sessions has
been running a lot less, though I haven't checked that yet. I'm guessing
around 2Mb/s, but not sure.

I've done two separate jitsi installations on tiny qemu hosts (beowulf),
single-cpu with 1G RAM (and 4G swap). An ad hoc test indicated a load increase
of about 0.2 per connections, and it worked on the test with 8 connections (5
from myself, and 3 from someone else).

Of course my chrome client couldn't service more than 5 concurrent connections,
and that took that client machine (8 CPU with 16 G RAM) up to a load of 15, but
the server was happy.

I give a special tick for jitsi that it is without any login, ie "anonymous",
and the server, if you want one, is quite easily installed. I wanted my own
server nearby in Sydney, and in LA for a friend; meet.jit.si is somewhere in EU
I think.

Google is a troubled reference in this very sense, known for touting "not being 
evil".

To remain on-topic, which is to recommend something good,
we really should not suggest trusting one's data to a "security naïve" party

zoom would\will not launch from firefox, no issues launching from terminal and

Offhand, no.  I haven't found any of that in their documentation
(although admittedly my eyes may have just glazed over).  You can, of
course, use their service (http://meet.jit.si) rather than running it
yourself.

If you have got Devuan, you do not have to resort to browsers for conferencing. 

As for audioconferencing or one-to-one video :

qtox or another tox protocol client of your choice is the right tool.

It is also available on most other platforms, for you contacts which are not on

Nextcloud talk also works, doesn't require any software either. just a

Re: [DNG] A way of holding telephone-conferences with DEVUAN?

2020-04-07 Thread Rod Rodolico
I just installed a Jitsi instance on one of my old servers last week. My
15 year old granddaughter did most of the work. We built it as a Xen
virtual with 10G disk, 4G RAM and 4 dedicated cores. We used ASCII as
the Distro.

Tests so far have been two people (test for more planned for later this
week). With two people in the video conference, we ran about 8Mb/s
pretty steady the whole hour. Processor was about 40% on all four cores
and RAM was pretty much untouched.

A basic system is pretty much straight forward. It did "forget" to
create the rc.d entry for jitsi-videobridge2 service, but that was easy
to fix with
update-rc.d jitsi-videobridge2 defaults

More advanced setups allow you to set a password before you can create a
meeting (so not just anyone can do it), the ability to record the
meeting, and an interface with SIP. I have not tested any of those.

All in all, jitsi rocks. Tracking consists of some info in their own log
in /var/log/jitsi and, so far, all I've seen is the IP's that connect.

As was said, if all you want is a one off, or some occasional meetings,
https://meet.jit.si/ is set up and free. That way you don't eat
bandwidth and spend all the time building it out.

There is a client for Android, iPhone, OS-X, Debian, RPM, Arch and
Windoze. See https://jitsi.org/downloads/. I tried the Android version
on an old tablet and it worked ok. I mainly just use my browser. It
complains if I use an old version of FF, but it works so far with FF and
Chromium so you don't need to install a client.

Just found out about it a few weeks ago, so I haven't had time to break
it yet. So, nothing bad so far except the bandwidth, which isn't
horrible. Feel free to contact me if you want some graphs or the results
of our Wednesday test.

Iirc, jitsi meet works only with chrome/chromium. I only used nextcloud talk 
succesfully with ff-esr.

Can you use a smart phone? Also, dialing in through a regular phone
number is a possibility with Zoom meetings.

Jitsi would be my initial go-to, as Zoom seems to have proven 
themselves

less-than-trustworthy in the last couple of weeks.


I've been completely unable to get on Zoom from firefox esr.
Is it likely to work with Chrome or chromium?  One of my regular
meeetings has chosen Zoom, leaving me little choice.

Any idea how much computer jitsi needs?  My server is over a decade 
old.

I've been hanging onto it because it's too old to have a management
engine.

The online version of jit.si - https://meet.jit.si/ - connects via your 
browser. You don't have to install on you server.

There's also, IIRC, "Blue Button" or something to that effect.

Dear Devlers,

    is there a way of holding a video- or an audioconference with 
Firefox (or Vivaldi) on Devuan?  The ones I have come in contact with. 
such als /https://global.gotomeeting.com/, /work only with Windows or 
Mac and Chrome.


 Are there any Debian/Devuan alternatives to these systems?

    Thanks
