I found this somewhere. i'm a newb at jitsi. Not sure how good it is.

I'd like to see an LXD container config guide included.  

Jitsi is easy to install in LXD as LXD containers are "system" containers and no matter your Host you can have containers running various distro's like Debian, Fedora, CentOS, Ubuntu, Alpine, OpenSuse etc.

LXD does support an LXD Proxy Config where with a 1 line command on the Host you can forward Ports (443, 80 4443 and UDP port 10000) to the Jitsi Container.

I have followed the generic Jitsi install into a LXD container and it works immediately from the LXD Host's web browser.

But I've been having a problem figuring out how to access that LXD container's jitsi from other machines.

I can connect but those machines webcam video doesn't display.

I am assuming the Host for the Jitsi container may need a NGINX Proxy installed to redirect to the Jitsi installed NGINX in the LXD container but I'm not that experienced with NGINX.

If anyone has any ideas I'll give it a shot and if I can get it all working then I'll contribute the steps to reproduce so others can
try it as well.

Thanks for any ideas or tips on settting up a NGINX proxy for this? I guess if you are not familiar with LXD just think of how you might setup the NGINX Proxy if you were going to forward to another Ubuntu or Debian Server? i think that same setup would probably work in this use-case.

If this can be made to work... since Crostini (in ChromeBooks) is based on LXD my guess is this could then work in Chromebook/Crostini as well.

Thanks for any ideas/tips.
