People,
I am interested in getting Jitsi running and like any first
consideration of this sort of thing, my first thought is using Podman to
do what I want - has anyone had got Jitsi Meet running satisfactorily?
Thanks,
Phil.

'satisfactorily?', not sure what you mean, but it works for us. Host is
Fedora 33 and we are running it rootless in 4 containers started by
systemd. We have one systemd meta service which starts the other 4 jitsi
containers.
We are using Apache httpd as a reverse proxy in front of it for HTTPS.
It took some time to set it up, but now it works without problems.

Excellent! Could I get images from those containers? If so, I presume
there would just need to be some configuring done? - now that you have
done all the hard work . .

Phil.

There are official images on dockerhub and opublished by the Jitsi project:
https://github.com/jitsi/docker-jitsi-meet/
A pod definition to run all necessary containers can be found here:

Ah thanks for that - I wonder what Adrian meant when he said: "It took
some time to set it up" - if issues that needed to be solved were
encountered . .

I do not really remember all of it anymore.
We wanted to run rootless and behind an existing reverse proxy. That
made it more complicated. We first had a pod, but that did not work
rootless. There were a couple of problems with how networking is setup
and what we wanted. We are now using host networking.
We also wanted to make it available at example.com/jitsi and spent too
much time with it until we decided it is easier to run in with a
dedicated domain name.
Then we did not want to use lingering to start the systemd services as
non-root. We are now using root systemd but with 'User=jitsi' which is
also not recommended as far as I know.
So there were different things that slowed us down. We somehow solved
everything, but I cannot remember what we changed. It is definitely
not reproducible from my side, but it is possible to make it work.
