Hi Denis,
 
your proposal sounds realy great.

It is always annoying to struggle as a non expert with problems that are not 
with openmeetings tools but with the underlying system. Hope to see some 
results in the docs.

Best regards
Ed

Betreff: Openmeetings / AWS / Ubuntu 18.04 +

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.

All the best Denis
