Greetings!

I am using the Alpine Linux Nextcloud packages for quite a while. I really=
=20
appreciate them. Thank you to Leonardo and any other maintainers!

I used the tutorial=C2=B9 back then but either missed the section "Video=20
Communication" or it was not there yet at that time. Currently I use=20
coturn for TUN/STUN. For one on one calls this works nicely. While I=20
believe it could work for 3 or maybe 4 people, it is not ideal.

I would like to use a signaling server like spreed as packaged in Alpine=20
Linux.

The link to the upstream documentation=C2=B2 just redirects to the generic =
talk=20
landing page at the upstream website. Do you refer to the following=20
documentation?

https://nextcloud-talk.readthedocs.io/en/stable/#administration-documentati=
on

I wonder whether I both need coturn and spreed or whether spreed would be=20
sufficient. Also I wonder whether coturn and spreed needs to run in the=20
same LXC container as Nextcloud or can run in a separate one. If I set up=20
the necessary proxy forwarding for the spreed / coturn container I bet it=20
should work?

If you have any insight before I head to implementation, please share. If=20
I find anything more myself, I am willing to make a follow-up post or try=20
to setup a wiki account and add some hints to the tutorial.
