the new nodejs websocket configuration

[baby-leo]

i am using the latest jitsi admin, but i couldent get the new websocket configuration to wrok. i am assuming the configuration provided on https://github.com/H2-invent/jitsi-admin/wiki/Websocket-installation is by default getting configured while the the install.sh is excuted but still the websocket connection is not working what should i do

Hello @baby-leo,

ist the service running? The websocket might be sometime quite tricky but we will get it done :)

Do you use any load balancer or reverse infront?

[baby-leo]

thanks @holema yes it is running and i realy dont use any load balancer on my jitsi admin server. and as a side note for testing purposes my serever does not have a public ip yet i am trying it on localserver

[holema]

Hello @baby-leo, So the service is running an the IP address is added to the jitsi-admin .env.local. When you open the console in the browser you should see in the network tab a websocket connection try.

Have you double checked the websocket secret. This is a very likely error. The Websocket secret in the service must be the same as in the .env.local.

[baby-leo]

yes the secret is the same. and here is my configurations

in my .env.local MERCURE_URL="http://localhost:3000/.well-known/mercure" MERCURE_PUBLIC_URL="https://my private ip" MERCURE_JWT_SECRET="825601e6020b1cafeac664b7a18000e6" WEBSOCKET_SECRET="825601e6020b1cafeac664b7a18000e6"

here is my apache config

Hello @baby-leo, that was the reason, why we changed from apache to nginx ;) nginx is the prefered webserver when traffic should be reversed.

This is a structural problem. It is not possible to use https without an IP adresse. Https is domain based.

And there is a third reverse host missing. You also have to reverse proxy th /ws/ route to the websocket service. ON this proxypass you also have to send a upgrade Header with the apache server. This is the original nginx configuration: https://github.com/H2-invent/jitsi-admin/wiki/NGINX-Configuration

This is the config translated from ChatGPT. Please double check the config and past your working config:
