 ===== Minutes ===== ===== Minutes =====
  
 +==== Freifunk ====
  
 +=== GitHub Org ===
 +
 +[[user:orimpe]] does not have access to the [[https://github.com/Freifunk-Luxembourg|Freifunk-Luxembourg Org]].
 +
 +[[user:fantawams]] might have access, looking at [[projects:freifunk:meetup:2019-03|FreiFunk Meetup 2019/03]]. Worst case, [[user:sid]] might have access. 
 +
 +If the site is mirrored on GitHub, we could make use of GitHub Actions for building. See: [[https://github.com/freifunk-darmstadt/site-ffda/actions/runs/16657953396|Freifunk Darmstadt's usage]].
 +
 +=== Jitsi & Ansible ===
 +
 +[[https://cloud.c3l.lu|C3L NextCloud's Talk]] works, but it's not great, as such, it would be cool if we could run Jitsi on Freifunk Infrastructure.
 +
 +The pain point is using Ansible for fflux: it is so complex that it is never touched, and using Ansible for that makes it difficult.\\
 +Setting up gateways via Ansible works, but the main server is too complex.
 +
 +fflux-test is now running Debian 13, Ansible configuration has been updated accordingly.
 +
 +=== VPN ===
 +
 +[[https://mullvad.net/en/blog/reminder-that-openvpn-is-being-removed|OpenVPN will be deprecrated by our VPN provider]], we need to move to WireGuard.
 +
 +Currently IPv6 does not work via the VPN, but nodes **only** have IPv6.\\
 +This is due to the VPN configuration script (up/down).
 +
 +When we move to WireGuard, we'll have to rewrite those configs and the routing things.
 +
 +=== Running our own DNS ===
 +
 +We should run our own DNS, fflux has been running bind since 2023, we've just never switched over.
 +
 +=== gluon ===
 +
 +[[user:xbr]] had built experimental v2023.2.5, but wanted to add [[https://gluon.readthedocs.io/en/latest/features/multidomain.html|multi domain support]] for individual gateway testing.
 +
 +We looked into a 360 deg. AP, but it seems like the current known option is not stable in busy environments: https://forum.freifunk.net/t/cudy-wr3000-v1-instabile-verbindung/24416/3
 +
 +Adding SSH keys to the site config could be useful instead of adding them manually, possibly enabled by default. As such, we would avoid issues of "forgetting" to add keys.
 +
 +==== Alternative Meshed Networks ====
 +
 +We need to re-do the internal poll to pick a date.
 +
 +[[user:orimpe]] is considering doing a [[events:spark-up|Spark-up!]] event regarding those networks.
 +
 +In the ChaosStuff, [[user:orimpe]] set up the following:
 +  * Meshtastic client
 +  * Meshcore room server
 +
 +We should have an over-arching project for "network" projects: Freifunk, Meshtastic, Meshcore, ...\\
 +We'll try to find a name...
 +
 +Again, we still have a wiki page: [[projects:meshtastic|Meshtastic / Meshcore]]
