Accessing groups

Galène meeting rooms are called "groups". Any group is accessible at https://domain.tld/group/GroupName, by typing its name in the home page search field, or by selecting it in the public list (if the group is configured as publicly visible, see below).

Creating and configuring groups

Groups are defined by JSON files located in the Galène folder (/opt/yunohost/galene/groups). Each group is represented by a GroupName.json file. To create a new group, you need to create a GroupNameExample.json file (you can also make subfolder groups, and the groups will be accessible with https://domain.tld/group/subfolder/GroupName). Various options are available (see https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/galene_ynh/wiki/Configuration-file).

NB: spaces are supported in group file names.

Configuring your TURN server

Using Galène's TURN server

Galène comes with a built-in TURN server that should work out-of-the-box.

• If your server is behind NAT, allow incoming traffic to TCP port 8443 (or whatever is configured with the -http option in /etc/systemd/system/galene.service) and TCP/UDP port 1194 (or whatever is configured with the -turn option in /etc/systemd/system/galene.service)

Using your own TURN server

• Install coturn_ynh.
• Add /opt/yunohost/galene/data/ice-servers.json with these lines and change turn.example.org and secret

    [
        {
            "urls": [
                "turn:turn.example.org:5349",
                "turn:turn.example.org:5349?transport=tcp"
            ],
            "username": "galene",
            "credential": "secret"
        }
    ]

• set /etc/systemd/system/galene.service -turn option to -turn auto. (or -turn "" to disable the built-in TURN server)

To check if the TURN server is up and running, type /relay-test in the chat box. If the TURN server is properly configured, you should see a message saying that the relay test has been successful.

Server Statistics page

Some statistics are available under /opt/yunohost/galene/stats.json, with a human-readable version at domain.ltd/stats.html. This is only available to the server administrator.
