1. eduMEET installation

1.1 eduMEET service requirements:

Min. configuration of VM / server

• typical modern CPU (8 cores)
• RAM: ~ 8 GB
• HDD: ~ 100GB
• 1 network adapter (1Gb/s)
• OS:  Ubuntu / Debian
• public IP address (without any NAT)
• domain name assigned (for certificates)

With this minimum configuration the eduMEET service is able to handle up to ~600 concurrent users.

1.2 eduMEET software installation

Before you start the installation please request  LTC STUN/TURN credentials for your eduMEET instances

• eduturn.org

There are two recommended ways of installations:

1) Ansible installation

• GitHub repository: github.com/edumeet/edumeet-ansible
• Video tutorial (step-by-step terminal recording) : asciinema.org/a/311365

2) Direct docker image installation

• GitHub repository: github.com/edumeet/edumeet-docker/tree/dev
• DockerHub repository: hub.docker.com/r/edumeet/edumeet

2. eduTURN installation

2.1 eduTURN description

eduTURN is community owned and managed STUN/TURN service, based on open source coturn.
It is not a must have service, but very helpful for overcoming NAT, firewall and packets filtering issues (because of which about 30% of connections can fail). There are 10 nodes in Europe already now, but – the more, the better. Moreover –  it’s good to have a node close to VC participants.

2.2 eduTURN service requirements

Two medium class virtual or physical machines!

Reason: 2 authentication types are supported:

• Long Term Credential
• REST

Both of them can not be implemented in one service (they conflicts because REST reuse TURN username/password part in a different way).

Min. configuration of each server:

• typical CPU (2-4 cores)
• RAM: ~ 8GB
• HDD: ~ 100GB
• at least 1, (or better 2) network adapters
• OS – stable Debian 8

Additional requirements:

• at least 1, (or better 2) public global IPv4 addresses,
• at least 1 (or better 2) IPv6 addresses,
• DNS resolvers:  2x IPv4 and 2x IPv6,
• and the host FQDN.

2.3 eduTURN software installation

• GitHub repository:  coturn.net
