where are the missing files?

2

What version of node and npm are you running?

3

npm -v gave 6.14.16
and node -v gave v14.19.0
also this is on a ubuntu 20.04.3 machine

4

Try npm 8 and node 16.

5

how do I do that properly? is it just npm install -g npm@latest for npm for example?

6

videobridge is a java project and uses maven.

What java version do you use? Maybe clean and show the whole output of mvn install? What maven version are you using?

7

this is my maven version

Apache Maven 3.6.3
Maven home: /usr/share/maven
Java version: 11.0.18, vendor: Ubuntu, runtime: /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64
Default locale: en, platform encoding: UTF-8
OS name: "linux", version: "5.4.0-135-generic", arch: "amd64", family: "unix"
8

and this is what I got from running mvn clean install

This is strange. I just did a clean checkout and did mvn install without any issues.

I would blame maven. Can you install a newer version and try again?
Mine is:

% mvn --version
Apache Maven 3.8.6 (84538c9988a25aec085021c365c560670ad80f63)
Maven home: /opt/homebrew/Cellar/maven/3.8.6/libexec
Java version: 11.0.15.1, vendor: Oracle Corporation, runtime:....
10

my new maven version after running mvn -version is this


Apache Maven 3.8.8 (4c87b05d9aedce574290d1acc98575ed5eb6cd39)
Maven home: /opt/maven
Java version: 11.0.18, vendor: Ubuntu, runtime: /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64
Default locale: en, platform encoding: UTF-8
OS name: "linux", version: "5.4.0-135-generic", arch: "amd64", family: "unix"

i ran mvn clean install again and got this

any ideas? what else could be wrong? @damencho

12

Not really.
Can you list the content of /home/user/jitsi-videobridge and /home/user/jitsi-videobridge/rtp with ls -l?

14

this is from /home/user/jitsi-videobridge

just noticed that since the owner and group for all of these is root i should have done sudo mvn clean install, now its running…

16

it finally finished the build

17

@damencho @Freddie Sorry for the delay with this question, but how do I use the generated binary as the jitsi-videobridge? and how do I check if I succeeded since I am not understanding what it is I need to do from running locally section here → https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-videobridge.git

18

You can replace the jvb running on your deployment with one built from source and use it there to verify it is working.

19

how do i get the location of the currently running jvb and what exactly do I replace it with?

20

When you build jvb there is a file jvb/target/jitsi-videobridge-2.3-SNAPSHOT-archive.zip, which you extract and its folder needs to replace /usr/share/jitsi-videobridge and then just do service jitsi-videobridge restart.
