Documentation or prerequisites needed

[bharath-naik]

Dear devs.
It was an awesome thing that you have done so far on jitsi. I really appreciate and want to adopt this jitsi-kubernetes-operator.
I have some hands on with kubernetes. the guide you provided made me few basic things unclear like

1. how to install or setup on GKE,
2. what are the prerequisites needed before installing on GKE like domain name for jitsi as it is mandatory for any kind of installation.
3. how can i customise the container like JVB, web, Prosody, Jicofo etc.

Hi,
Thanks !
For now, the operator is not ready for production. We haven't found the time to work on it since the Hackathon.
But we will work on a first release during the following couples of weeks. And of course we'll provide a better guide.

To provide some answers :

• I think the first way of installing the operator will be through Kustomize. I never used GKE but suspect it doesn't change anything, as long it's a Kubernetes cluster.
• Jitsi needs a domain to work properly. For the autoscaling, zalendo kube-metrics adapter is needed. And a pain point is the need to setup, ALSA and Loopback Device on the nodes for Jibri.
• We will add the possibility to customize the containers images.

I'm curious, what kind of Jitsi cluster are you looking to deploy ?

@hrenard This repo might help with this issue. checkout the example directory for k8s example.

thanks @hrenard for quick response.

I'm curious, what kind of Jitsi cluster are you looking to deploy ?

I am trying to connect colleges and universities for all online events across india on single platform.

There are few possible things i just want to do.

1. Language translation for indians
2. I want to make a youtube video and provide a better documentation after understanding this jitsi-k8s-operator which could be useful to anyone like me.

how to setup this domain prior to deployment, as i need to give domain name. FYI: I use Istio service mesh

I'm currently on vacation, so the documentation is a bit late.
You can find some information in the CRD definition or the Jitsi type.
I'm not familiar with Istio (yet) but if you have some time to spare, you cloud try to deploy the operator and a Jitsi instance and tell us what is missing for your use case.
There is a domain field and an ingress field that might help you experiment.
