Testing Galene videoconference server software

During the Covid-19 pandemic Jitsi-Meet was one of the more popular software among some people for videoconference calls. However, Jitsi-Meet is not very secure. If people choose a very simple room name and no password then it can happen that suddenly strangers join your video call. Self-hosting and maintaining Jitsi-Meet is also not super easy.

Galene is different because it comes with the feature to create users, and users can have operate privileges to create invite links for other users. The invite links can be time limited.

I’ve tested self-hosting Galene and I was happy to see that it ran pretty well on moderate hardware (VPS with 1 GB RAM, with a swap file. Using Debian Linux as OS).

The question remains how many calls and users it can handle very well.

Galene has community provided packages for Yunohost, Arch Linux (AUR) and FreeBSD. A drawback of Galene is that it appears to be a one person project but there’s many one person projects and software can be forked when a project becomes dormant for some reason.

Off-topic : On the same VPS I’ve also installed Prosody with Yunohost and after getting the DNS settings right, as suggested by Yunohost, video-calls with Conversations IM app worked out of the box. Very cool! Thank you people at Yunohost!!! :)))

We have just released the first version of voa-core, a #RustLang library for access to verifiers in #VOA structures. 🎁 🦀

crates.io/crates/voa-core/0.1.0

VOA, short for "File Hierarchy for the Verification of OS Artifacts", is a way of providing and using verifiers for digital signatures in a stateless manner, for various cryptographic technologies:

Thanks to @hko for his work on this and an upcoming #OpenPGP backend! 🥳

I have just released a small #RustLang library for running commands as root as an unprivileged user - aka #rootless. 🦀

crates.io/crates/rootless-run/

It has been created in the context of the #ALPM project to allow running commands using #fakeroot or #rootlesskit and paves the way for a simple Rust-based implementation.

In the future we plan to use it in the ALPM project to run commands that require root as unprivileged user.
