I run a Jitsi instance on Linode. I used their push-button setup, then tweaked the security settings slightly. I keep it off and on a minimal instance except when it's time for a meeting, at which point I move it to a dedicated host for the duration of the meeting. I always check my TLS/SSL certificates and update the OS before the meeting, too. It has been okay, but not as reliable as Google Meet or Zoom. There's often someone having audio issues, typically on an iPad. Before I switched to a dedicated instance, those problems were worse. One of my regular meeting participants co-founded the FSF, so I'm using Jitsi so that we're using open-source software. I'm a big fan of Jitsi, but I want to be realistic about its reliability in my experience.
- DANmode 3y agoIs it just less resilient to bad connections, or is there something happening at a particular room capacity?
- aag 3y agoIt's hard to tell. There are typically only three or four people in the room at most, and the iPad audio problems typically occur with even fewer people. I believe that the iPad user is using the web, not the app.
- cykros 3y agoSafari notoriously barely works at all. If that's what they're using, it's hard to blame Jitsi for it.
- rovr138 3y agoWasn't there news recently about Safari overtaking edge as the second most popular browser? If so, we should probably be developing for it too. Not just the top 1. Yes, there's a gap between 1 and 2, but you can't just discount it when building an app.
- saghul 3y agoCan you elaborate on the reliability issues? Those on an iPad, were they using the app or the mobile web app?
