Please add support for Libravatar.org and self-hosted instances (alternative to Gravatar) #4927

Closed MagicFab closed 3 years ago

MagicFab commented 4 years ago

"Libravatar (from "libre" and "avatar") is a piece of free software to do federated avatar hosting."

It would be useful to support this service (and any self-hosted services using the same software) as an alternative to Gravatar. This would be more coherent with Free software values and a self-hosting approach, without requiring a proprietary third party service. A configuration option should be available to integrate such a self-hosted service.

Please use the community forum for questions and problems before opening new issues.

This is already available as a setting https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/blob/master/interface_config.js#L77

Thanks, I've posted in a new thread on the forum.

In the Forum it turned out that this feature is currently not supported. Could you reopen this issue?

We were also now looking for an alternative to gravatar, especially since they require a wordpress account nowadays

ofalk commented 4 years ago

Let me know if there are any reasons why you would not switch to Libravatar. It can also proxy requests to Gravatar and therefore enhance your privacy!

For the ability to choose a local image as opposed to an image served by a third-party service, see : https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/issues/5254

I'm afraid all the glitter wasn't gold 😢 See: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/pull/8149 - You can still turn it on on your own deployment.
