This manual is created for the NRENs to support distributed deployment of the eduMEET service.
eduMEET (COVID-19 beta version) is an Open Source web-conferencing service from GÉANT portfolio. It is an interactive, web-based videoconferencing platform, supporting distant learning processes, including audio-video communication, chat, screen and file sharing.
Created by our community for our community. Trustworthy, self-hosted, secure. Integrated with community owned STUN/TURN service. Keeping traffic inside community networks. All this makes eduMEET safe and cost effective alternative to commercial solutions.
Currently in beta stage, after successful reaching PLM gate and security reviews. Nevertheless crisis situation was a trigger to use it already now in extremely wide scale for urgent purposes. All feedback will be more then appreciated and would allow dynamic reaction in case of support requirements.
eduTURN is community owned and managed STUN/TURN service, based on open source coturn.
It is not a must have service, but very helpful for overcoming NAT, firewall and packets filtering issues (because of which about 30% of connections can fail).
There are 10 nodes in Europe already now, but - the more, the better. Moreover - it's good to have a node close to VC participants.
Reason: 2 authentication types are supported:
Both of them can not be implemented in one service (they conflicts because REST reuse TURN username/password part in a different way).
