Looks good. But does it scale? And Firefox is not supported?

fmeringdal 5y ago
It is not horizontally scalable right now, but that is not hard to implement either. You can have a look at the dogehouse project: https://github.com/benawad/dogehouse https://github.com/benawad/dogehouse if you want to see how to horizontally scale mediasoup which is the media handler and stateful process within the servers. I think vertical scaling will be more than enough for most of the users that are going to self-host this.

  What would you say is the maximum of users in a single session if everyone has Video sharing activated.

I was wondering the same thing. How scalable is it? Any recommendations for deployment/production use?

Why is this downvoted? Anyway, this open source alternative doesn't work with the open source browser and suggests to install two proprietary ones instead.

Yep, I wonder what are the technical reasons not to support Firefox. Some missing codec as (maybe) for the lack of support in FaceTime web?

  Firefox WebRTC support isn't missing anything big, but it's missing a lot of little things from the 1.0 spec that Chrome (and, increasingly, Safari) have. But, much worse from a support perspective, recent Firefox releases have been fairly likely to have WebRTC-related breaking changes and regressions. We all try to support Firefox. But given the relative usage numbers of Firefox, Chrome/Chromium/Electron/Edgium, and Safari, it's sometimes hard to devote resources to testing and workarounds.

  Maybe the demo server needs to be restarted, because it still does not work.

    I forgot to update the demo :) Now it works

      You should consider allowing Edge browser as well (since it's based on Chromium anyway, I imagine it should work fine).
      - fmeringdal 5y ago
        I thought Edge was supported but I havent tested it. This is a list of the browsers that are supported: https://github.com/fmeringdal/nettu-meet/blob/main/frontend/src/pages/EntryPage.tsx#L123-L134 https://github.com/fmeringdal/nettu-meet/blob/main/frontend/.... Are you running an old version of edge? If not, do you mind filing a issue in the repository?

        Ah, that must be the issue. I'm using Edge on Linux (I know, it's weird). I'll go ahead and file an issue for it now :-)
