Hello,

I had the same issue with the last version. To make Jitsi works again, I installed a previous version :

1- Uninstall jitsi and prosody (if it's not uninstalled automatically) 2- Install a specific version (https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/jitsi_ynh/commit/d1579c1f9d389ee9c255470670d9bf7b27b6d776)

 sudo yunohost app install https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/jitsi_ynh/tree/d1579c1f9d389ee9c255470670d9bf7b27b6d776

Hello @rouja Thank you very much !!! It's okay !! But why the version proposed by the update does not work?

Thank you again !!

[rouja]

I just noticed some change in /var/www/jitsi/jitsi-jicofo/jicofo.sh between the two versions. But I can't figure out how to fix the issue :(

[Frereneo]

It's complicated indeed, and couldn't the developer of Jitsi help?

[tio-trom]

Same here. Stopped working. Restoring did not help for some reason.

EDIT: Even after completely removing Jitsi and Prosody, and restoring a backup, failed to work. Had to restore a server snapshot.

Hello @tio-trom , The solution proposed by @rouja (https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/jitsi_ynh/issues/95#issuecomment-1339143598), allows to go back to the version before the update. But it doesn't seem to solve the update

Hello @tio-trom , The solution proposed by @rouja (#95 (comment)), allows to go back to the version before the update. But it doesn't seem to solve the update

Yes I did just that but failed to work. Same issue. I had to restore a system snapshot to restore.

Oh, ok, sorry. I had misunderstood.

[tio-trom]

No problem at all! :)

Hi,

I think I fixed the issue with the last version. In /etc/jitsi/jicofo/config we have :

# Jitsi Conference Focus settings
# sets the host name of the XMPP server
JICOFO_HOST=$REDACTED

# sets the XMPP domain (default: none)
JICOFO_HOSTNAME=$REDACTED

# sets the XMPP domain name to use for XMPP user logins
JICOFO_AUTH_DOMAIN=$REDACTED

# sets the username to use for XMPP user logins
JICOFO_AUTH_USER=$REDACTED

# sets the password to use for XMPP user logins
JICOFO_AUTH_PASSWORD=$REDACTED

To fix the issue we need to report the value in /etc/jitsi/jicofo/jicofo.conf in the xmpp section:

  xmpp: {
    client: {
      enabled: true #Add this line
      hostname: localhost #Add this line
      client-proxy: $REDACTED #Do not change this line
      xmpp-domain: $JICOFO_HOSTNAME #Add this line and replace the variable by the value from /etc/jitsi/jicofo/jicofo.conf 
      domain: $JICOFO_AUTH_DOMAIN #Add this line and replace the variable by the value from /etc/jitsi/jicofo/jicofo.conf
      user: $JICOFO_AUTH_USER #Add this line and replace the variable by the value from /etc/jitsi/jicofo/jicofo.conf
      password: $JICOFO_AUTH_PASSWORD #Add this line and replace the variable by the value from /etc/jitsi/jicofo/jicofo.conf
    }

Then restart jicofo :

systemctl restart jitsi-jicofo

I hope that it will help to fix jitsi on yunohost.

Hello @rouja , Thanks for this detail :). Does the update in the YNH application management do this correction by itself, or do you have to do it yourself? thank you again !

[rouja]

Hello,

The update will not do the correction by itself. You have to do the change yourself. But if it's fix the problem for you too, if I find time, I will try to fix the YNH packaging and submit a PR.

[Frereneo]

Re, The proposed solution corrects the anomaly. Congrats :dancers: !!

[vsatmydynipnet]

Thank you so much. After hours of searching i found this issue, all good now.

[dalgwen]

Thank you for the fix !

recently I've updated Jitsi and it appears to have reintroduced the issue after the update. I did apply the proposed solution above, but it didn't help.

My solution was die uninstall Jitsi and uninstall Prosody as well. Then re-install Jitsi and it worked again.

There seems to be something in the Jitsi Update that can break an existing installation.

[tio-trom]

So this needs to be fixed because the issue is from Metronome. If the Metronome service is active then you cannot use JItsi. And you will have to stop Metronome and restart Prosody.

Problem is even trying to kill the Metronome service for good it somehow keeps on resurrecting....idk what to do about this...
