Hi there everyone, As I've mentioned in an email before, I've gone through most of the emails in virtually ALL the openmeetings email threads (not just the "users"... I've even gone through the Russian emails with the assistance of google translate :) ).
While it appears a lot of people are testing OpenMeetings software on local machines and servers... and as a result, have established working versions of OpenMeetings.. there appears to be a lot of installation problems when it comes to virtual servers and so on... and Maybe... "Just maybe"... when users are reporting problems... do not necessarily state the full scenario as to their server installation... i.e. if they are operating behind NAT, if they have implemented Coturn, STUN or TURN. While I have mentioned "AWS" in the title of this email, however, I am under the impression that virtually every instance working in a virtual cloud environment is going to be behind a NAT... which will result in further installation and implementation errors if not understood. In this day and age, I have to assume that many users are heading towards an AWS instance or equivalent. For any newbie that is willing to take a jump off the edge... (myself included), Alvaro's installation guides have been great (Saludos to Alvaro)... and while I know it may not necessarily be an OpenMeetings prerogative to address server issues outside the working mechanisms of the program... I think by doing so, it would open up a multitude of opportunities for further and future exposure... not only to large corporations... but the hundreds upon thousands of potential e-learning teachers that might be scared sh#tless of even attempting to do an OpenMeetings installation... For the newbies out there... I did not know what NAT, TURN, STUN or COTURN stood for before.... and I am still trying to get my head around the whole thing. My proposal is simple, I would like to collaborate with Alvaro on his installation guides in order to make installations a relatively totally painless procedure.... (English and Spanish (sorry, I don't speak Russian or Italian))... free of course... I am an Irish guy running an English school in Mexico). Secondly, I would like to assist, translation wise, regarding the whole virtual server behind NAT issue. This will probably reduce queries about installation error and problems that people are experiencing... possibly down to the simple fat that the above has not been understood. I will give you an example, one user mentioned he had a few AWS issues... after some time mentioned he sorted them out.... (without him going into detail, unfortunately) and then stated he had other problems which I think are related to his initial problems. I hope that this email will make things a little more transparent... especially to help those who are less experienced. Either way, I will continue to explore this issue and hope I can help someone along they way. I have been recommended alternatives (and told them where to put it) but I see the huge potential behind OM and salute Maxim Solovnik for his hard work and endeavors also. I have a million ideas I would like to share about functionality but I will get to them in another email. Anyhoo, I am not sure I reached my over point but you get the idea. I hope to hear from you soon.
