Zoom

Description

Zoom is a popular video conferencing application for online meetings, webinars, and collaboration.

Overview

The package batch the constructor runs at deploy start installs Zoom through the zoom id. meta/packages.yml declares it as an AUR package on Arch Linux and as a deliberate no-op on the Debian and RedHat families, which do not archive the proprietary client.

Architecture

ARCHITECTURE.md draws Zoom from its own metadata: the containers it runs under compose, what changes under swarm, how each volume is backed, and every role it depends on or is depended upon by.

Section	Drawn from
Compose	meta/services.yml
Swarm	meta/services.yml replicas and placement
Volumes	meta/volumes.yml against the NFS decision chain
Dependencies	meta/services.yml and meta/main.yml of every role

Features

• Automated provisioning: Configured by Ansible without manual steps.

Quick Setup

Development

Clone, set up the workstation, and deploy Zoom onto the local stack:

git clone https://github.com/infinito-nexus/core.git
cd core
make onboard
make compose-deploy mode=reinstall apps=dsk-zoom full_cycle=false

Production

Install Zoom directly onto the target machine: clone the repository, install the OS prerequisites and the repository toolchain, then deploy against localhost over a local connection (no SSH, no container):

git clone https://github.com/infinito-nexus/core.git
cd core
bash scripts/install/package.sh
make install
source scripts/meta/env/load.sh

APP=dsk-zoom
DOMAIN="<your-domain>"
TLS_MODE=self_signed
SSH_PUBLIC_KEY="<your-ssh-public-key>"
INVENTORY=inventories/production
infinito administration inventory provision "$INVENTORY" \
  --inventory-file "$INVENTORY/devices.yml" \
  --host localhost \
  --include "$APP" \
  --vars "{\"TLS_MODE\": \"$TLS_MODE\", \"DOMAIN_PRIMARY\": \"$DOMAIN\", \"users\": {\"administrator\": {\"authorized_keys\": [\"$SSH_PUBLIC_KEY\"]}}}"
infinito administration deploy dedicated "$INVENTORY/devices.yml" \
  --password-file "$INVENTORY/.password" \
  --diff -vv
