Galaxy Docker Version

[yzaraoui]

Hi @emrahcom, thanks for your efforts, I wonder if it is possible to have a Docker version that can be integrated easily with Docker-jitsi-meet?

Hi @yzaraoui, if you have Keycloak as identity provider then you can use galaxy-kc. It is the same code base using Keycloak as identity manager.

It is available as Docker images.

Hello @emrahcom, I'm using LDAP as user authentication for my jisti docker-based setup.
does the galaxy require Keycloak ? can you please explain a little bit?

Galaxy has its own identity system. It is based on ORY Kratos and this version doesn't support Dockerized setup.

Galaxy-kc doesn't have a built-in identity system, it uses Keycloak as identity provider. It is available as Docker image.

Except this difference, they are completely the same.

You may use different identity systems for Galaxy and Jitsi but in my opinion, the best way is using JWT authentication on Jitsi and Keycloak (with LDAP backend) on Galaxy for your use case. Because:

• JWT is most mature, widely used and officially supported authentication method for Jitsi
• LDAP auth is not flexible as JWT on Jitsi
• Keycloak allows advanced and flexible auth flows.

In summary, if you need a Dockerized setup, Galaxy-kc is the only option for now and it needs Keycloak.
