Nextcloud Talk Signaling Server - now automated installation

enoch85 · August 25, 2020, 10:22pm

Hello everyone!

Just wanted to let you know that we made it possible to install the new HPB (Talk Signaling Server) in the Nextcloud VM. The setup is totally automated, just a single command and the script takes care of the complete installation. That’s what I call awesome.

You can read more about it here:

You can get the script itself here (you need the RAW file):

github.com

nextcloud/vm/blob/master/apps/talk.sh

#!/bin/bash

# T&M Hansson IT AB © - 2023, https://www.hanssonit.se/

SCRIPT_NAME="Nextcloud Talk"
SCRIPT_EXPLAINER="This script installs Nextcloud Talk and also offers the possibility \
to install the so-called High-Performance-Backend, which makes it possible to host more video calls than it would be with the standard Talk app. \
It's called 'Talk Signaling' and you will be offered to install it as part two of this script."

@rakekniven and other forum admins, please spread (spreed) the word. More users should know about this. Also, would be nice to stick this news for a few days at least.

Thanks!

Have fun with it!

Thank you!

Have you used it with more than a handful of people?
If so, how does it perform?

rakekniven · August 26, 2020, 7:01pm

Hello,

thank you for the hard work. Pinned it globally.

Have you seen the german manual for setting it up? :

Can I run it on the NUC I bought in your shop?

enoch85 · August 26, 2020, 7:34pm

Thanks!

No haven’t seen that guide actually.

Yes, it’s fully compatible!

enoch85 · August 26, 2020, 7:35pm

When we tested we were 3 people on a very bad 4G, and it worked.

Try it out and report back.

enoch85 · August 27, 2020, 10:34pm

Oh, forgot to mention, just run sudo bash /var/scripts/menu.sh from your CLI and voliá!

Quickly71 · August 28, 2020, 5:14pm

Should I post bugs here? It´s possible that is my mistake… first time-script-user!

Hi @Quickly71

Bugs are reported on Github, but I may help you here as well.

Which OS are you running, and what version? Please post the output of lsb_release -a. Also, are you running this on your own server that you setup, or is this the Nextcoud VM?

Thanks!

Quickly71 · August 29, 2020, 8:33am

Hi enoch85.
Did not expect an answer so quickly! THX!

I have installed the OS completely new. Only set the PublicKey and then executed the first NC-Script. I have no further apps installed.
Then…

Theming" deactivated (imagick message)
Shutdown + VM Backup
Login as “root”
Same error again.

Hi enoch85.
At this time is only a Testing NextCloud.
If you whant, you can have Access to the system. If it helps you.
Then send me a private message.

enoch85 · August 29, 2020, 11:54am

@Quickly71

If you try to access the domain you use for Talk, what does it say?

Quickly71 · August 29, 2020, 12:09pm

http://talk01.MyDomain.net >> https://talk01.MyDomain.net

Hi there! :) If you see this page, the Apache2 proxy for Talk Signaling Server is up and running.

And Let´s Encrypt is Ok. Save Site

PDNet · August 29, 2020, 1:17pm

Hi, i had the same problem as you.
What i did is just adding talk.example.com to my /etc/hosts file.

127.0.1.1 talk.example.com talk

enoch85 · August 29, 2020, 1:18pm

Well, that’s strange.

What does the Signaling server say in Nextcloud Settings --> Talk?

enoch85 · August 29, 2020, 1:19pm

Aah, that might be it!

@szaimen Maybe we should add that in the script as well?

Quickly71 · August 29, 2020, 1:40pm

Rock´n Roll! That´s it.

nano /etc/hosts

127.0.1.1       talk01.MyDomain.net       talk01

Reinstall Talk + Signaling-Server

Not yet tested live. Installation however completed.

Thanks a lot!

enoch85 · August 30, 2020, 10:56am

We set the /etc/hosts value when you run the Let’s Encrypt script, so my question is, did you run that before you ran the Talk script or not?

If yes, it seems like we need to set it for the Talk script as well.

Quickly71 · August 30, 2020, 7:26pm

Yes, I listed the Let’s Encrypt directly during the installation. So before the Talk-Script.
Can/should I install Talk again? Or just run the Let’s Encrtypt again?

enoch85 · August 30, 2020, 7:29pm

What’s the output of cat /etc/hosts?
