Abstract
Jitsi Meet is one of the most widely used options for open source video conferencing. In addition to basic video conferences, it also supports a substantial ecosystem of additional components and features, and while these add important functionality they also increase substantially the complexity of a deployment. As part of Summer of Nix 2021 and 2022 we have been working on dramatically simplifying the process of doing more complex, featureful deployments of Jitsi Meet by using the powerful packaging and configuration tools of NixOS. This talk will cover what we have done so far on this project, the work that still remains, and what this means more broadly for packaging and deploying large server-side open-source projects on NixOS.
