  • I think you need to install the server separately and set the domain in the admin panel, such as meet.example.com. You can find instructions on how to install the server on GitHub. I started working on this but haven't finished yet. I'm still preparing my .env file and would like to do this with Docker. I'm curious to see how it works, as Jitsi seems to offer many more options: Jitsi Docker Installation Guide.

    Anyway, I plan to create my site in Python from scratch. The latest versions of UNA are disappointing. One thing that surprised me yesterday is that the video module no longer includes the "Related Videos" page block, among other features. The script has become very limited, lacking in modularization, and the developers seem to be disappearing from the community. I only made a test site with UNA, but I am very disappointed.

    Not to mention the countless bugs it has. It seems to be made by beginners. The site is made by professionals, but the project was not designed to be modularized. This greatly complicates things and adoption. It has no documentation for a reason—you have to ask the team to do something for you, which will cost you a lot. Such a project can be open-source, but you need a lot of time to understand it, making it practically useless. Yes, you can make a mirror site like UNA in an hour, but you can't do much more than that.

    This script is for dreamers who believe that a social network can be made with such a script. It should be just a lesson, good for playing around, but not for building a business. This is just my personal opinion. Have a nice day.

    • I didn't say that I will start with my website Python from scratch. There are tens of thousands of modules for Python, UNA is a small child compared to Django. Take a look at an example of a CMS built on top of the Django framework: Wagtail. or Django-Cms or pure django the difference is that you will find documentation for everything, see which are the top sites that use this framework and you will understand. If you want to achieve great things, use the tools that can make it happen.

        I need jitsi questions answered and then I am ok with UNA I have been asking and posting the same question with no reply as yet, UNA I find is as you say great but lacks documentation I feel the UNA team work veru hard given the time they have I have appreciated all the help along the way too. I have it on a dedicated server with TMD its fine I am almost ready to launch my site but held back by this one item, I am also subscribed to una ant $90

        per month which they deserve, I am happy overall with the software once you get into it, I just need JITSI questions answering

        • You do realize that Facebook, the biggest of social networks, runs PHP. Anyhow, this thread is about jitsi, you want to debate web stack, web languages, who does what, just be sure you know your facts. Because I will say yes, this needs improvement, or yes, this needs done, yes documentation needs put together for developers.

          You are experienced with Django obviously, its your comfort zone. Mine is joomla. Because when I left web development for native android development, I used joomla for the back end for apps I have in the playstore. So if I need something done, I just do it. I know joomla. Also, documentation for joomla is amazing.

          UNA are producing documentation. We will see the ongoing outcome. As that progresses, I'll continue to look through code and ask questions. I FINALLY got a grasp around bx_srv.

          Another ramble. If you like to discuss viability, scalability, my experiences as a Linux administrator, real world use case of load balanced Linux boxes, or anything related, please start a thread. We hijacked my thread about jitsi.
