Puppet Class: jitsi::client

Defined in:
manifests/client.pp

Summary

Install the Jitsi client

Overview

On Linux hosts this class installs the specified version of the standalone electron client for jitsi as an AppImage package.

Examples:

include jitsi::client

Parameters:

  • version (String) —

    Which version to install. Find available versions on github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron/releases. The default of this parameter gets updated regularly. When overriding the default make sure you also set the corresponding values for ‘checksum` and `checksum_type`. This is used to ensure you actually downloaded the file you want to have.

  • checksum (String) —

    Part of the release assets for the Jitsi client is the file latest-linux.yaml. It contains the checksum and its type. Note that the checksum is encoded and you have to decode and convert it: “‘ echo $value_from_yaml | base64 -d | xxd -p “`

  • checksum_type (String) —

    Which hashing algorithm is used to calculate the checksum of the AppImage. By default this is sha512.
