Not all self-hosted instances will configure this setting, so a default text is
shown when the destination is unknown.
This is important to let users quickly click the link and understand which
platform is used to handle the transcription documents.
Explicitly explain that transcription is reserved for public servants. Remove
the temporary beta form: the feature is now available to all public servants,
with restrictions based on domain. Make white-labeling rules explicit and
clarify who to contact for access.
The beta form created frustration, with users registering and never hearing
back from the team.
Improve guidance when a user may be the meeting host but is not logged in, and
therefore cannot activate recording. Add a clear hint and a quick action to log
in. This decision is based on frequent support requests where users could not
understand why recording was unavailable while they were simply not logged in.
This release adds support for injecting custom Kubernetes
resources through the extraManifests parameter.
New features:
- Add extraManifests support for deploying custom resources
- Support multiple input formats (list, map, raw YAML strings)
- Enable Helm template variables in injected manifests
Add ability to inject custom Kubernetes manifests through the
values.yaml file. This allows users to deploy additional
resources (Deployments, Services, ConfigMaps, etc.) without
modifying the chart templates.
The template supports multiple input formats: list of objects,
map of named objects, and raw YAML strings, providing maximum
flexibility for users.
- Create templates/extra-objects.yaml with flexible rendering
- Add extraManifests parameter in values.yaml with documentation
- Support Helm template variables in injected manifests
- Handle list, map, and string YAML formats automatically
Add dynamic configuration for Deepgram STT via environment variables,
enabling multilingual real-time subtitles with automatic language
detection.
Changes:
- Add DEEPGRAM_STT_* environment variables pattern for configuration
- Implement _build_deepgram_stt_kwargs() to dynamically build STT
parameters from environment variables
- Add whitelist of supported parameters (model, language) for LiveKit
Deepgram plugin
- Log warnings for unsupported parameters (diarize, smart_format, etc)
- Set default configuration: model=nova-3, language=multi
- Document supported parameters in Helm values.yaml
Configuration:
- DEEPGRAM_STT_MODEL: Deepgram model (default: nova-3)
- DEEPGRAM_STT_LANGUAGE: Language or 'multi' for automatic detection
of 10 languages (en, es, fr, de, hi, ru, pt, ja, it, nl)
Note: Advanced features like diarization and smart_format are not
supported by the LiveKit Deepgram plugin in streaming mode.
Introduce pop-in alerting participants of automatic 2-minute idle
disconnect to enable LiveKit node configuration updates during
maintenance windows, preventing forgotten tabs from blocking
overnight production updates following patterns
from proprietary videoconference solutions.
Without explicit commands in values.yaml,
celeryTranscribe and celerySummarize pods
were using the Dockerfile's default CMD (uvicorn),
which started the REST API instead of Celery workers.
This fix adds default commands to values.yaml for both services,
ensuring they run as Celery workers processing their respective
queues (transcribe-queue and summarize-queue).
This chart exposes an external API from the backend pod.
Currently, it does not include conditional addition of the external API route.
This functionality will be added later.
Make WhisperX language detection configurable through FastAPI settings
to handle empty audio start scenarios where automatic detection fails and
incorrectly defaults to English despite 99% French usage.
Quick fix acknowledging long-term solution should allow dynamic
per-recording language selection configured by users through web
interface rather than global server settings.
Prepare for the introduction of new endpoints reserved for external
applications. Configure the required router and update the Helm chart to ensure
that the Kubernetes ingress properly routes traffic to these new endpoints.
It is important to support independent versioning of both APIs.
Base route’s name aligns with PR #195 on lasuite/drive, opened by @lunika
Remove incorrect whitespace in queue names that prevented Celery
workers from listening to proper queues. Workers were attempting to
connect to non-existent queues, breaking task distribution.
Implement automated MinIO webhook configuration using Kubernetes job
to enable recording feature functionality. This eliminates manual
setup requirements and ensures consistent webhook configuration
across deployments.
Restore certificate mounting for MinIO webhook communication to
backend after migrating away from unmaintained Bitnami chart.
Mount certificate in proper volume to enable secure bucket-to-backend
webhook delivery.
Add Celery summarize and transcribe worker configuration to Helm
charts for summary microservice. Create new deployment resources
and increment chart version to support distributed task processing.
Implement summarization functionality that processes completed meeting
transcripts to generate concise summaries.
First draft base on a simple recursive agentic scenario.
Observability and evaluation will be added in the next PRs.
Rename incorrectly named OpenAI configuration settings since
they're used to instantiate WhisperX client which is not OpenAI
compatible, preventing confusion about actual service dependencies.
Add required whitespace between braces in template directives to
comply with Kubernetes rule S6893.
Improves template readability and follows Kubernetes best practices for
template formatting and maintainability.
Allow any user, anonymous or authenticated, to start subtitling
in a room only if they are an active participant of it.
Subtitling a room consists of starting the multi-user transcriber agent.
This agent forwards all participants' audio to an STT server and returns
transcription segments for any active voice to the room.
User roles in the backend room system cannot be used
to determine subtitle permissions.
The transcriber agent can be triggered multiple times but will only join a
room once. Unicity is managed by the agent itself.
Any user with a valid LiveKit token can initiate subtitles. Feature flag
logic is implemented on the frontend. The frontend ensures the "start
subtitle" action is only available to users who should see it. The backend
does not enforce feature flags in this version.
Authentication in our system does not imply access to a room. The only
valid proof of access is the LiveKit API token issued by the backend.
Security consideration: A LiveKit API token is valid for 6 hours and
cannot be revoked at the end of a meeting. It is important to verify
that the token was issued for the correct room.
Calls to the agent dispatch endpoint must be server-initiated. The backend
proxies these calls, as clients cannot securely contact the agent dispatch
endpoint directly (per LiveKit documentation).
Room ID is passed as a query parameter. There is currently no validation
ensuring that the room exists prior to agent dispatch.
TODO: implement validation or error handling for non-existent rooms.
The backend does not forward LiveKit tokens to the agent. Default API
rate limiting is applied to prevent abuse.
Create basic Helm chart for LiveKit agent framework deployment on
Kubernetes, inspired by meet-summary FastAPI server configuration.
Integrate chart into local tilt development stack and properly handle
certificate issues that typically occur when calling LiveKit server
with nip.io domain names.
Remove call to generate demo data in tilt stack as it was never useful
to developers and only complicated the migration job unnecessarily.
Migration job should be laser focused on applying database migrations
rather than seeding mock data, improving clarity and reducing
complexity.
Replace mock Django secret key with longer version to resolve security
warnings in development stack.
Still not production-suitable as key remains versioned in repository,
but eliminates security warnings during development workflow.
Remove dependencies on bitnami Helm charts since recent changes in
bitnami organization led to charts no longer being maintained or
published.
Enhanced the Tilt dependencies to avoid any bootstrap or refresh
errors while developping using the Tilt stack.
Making components dependant from each others increase slightly
the time required to spin up the stack the first time.
Add default telephony configuration to the tilt stack to enable
development workflow around authentication features.
Note: This is a fake/mock configuration and is not functional for
production use. It's intended solely for development purposes.
The LiveKit API URL is necessary to interact with the API. It uses https
protocol.
Eplicit wss protocol is necessary in Websocket constructor for some
older browsers.
This resolves critical compatibility issues with legacy browsers
(notably Firefox <124, Chrome <125, Edge <125) that lack support
for HTTPS URLs in the WebSocket() constructor. Without explicit WSS
URLs, WebSocket signaling connections may fail, crash, or be blocked
entirely in these environments.
The setting is optional and defaults to the current behavior when
not specified, ensuring zero breaking changes for existing deployments.
Connection warmup wasn't working properly - only works when trying to
establish WebSocket first, then workaround kicks in. Call WebSocket
endpoint without auth info expecting 401 error, but enough to initiate
cache for subsequent WebSocket functionality.
Scope this **dirty** trick to Firefox users only. Haven't figured out
how to detect proxy from JS code simply.
Tested in staging and works on our constrained WiFi.
Add product analytics to understand summary feature usage and behavior.
Track transcript and task metadata for insights without exposing sensitive
content or speaker data.
Hacky but functional PostHog usage - fully optional for self-hosting.
Extensive tracking approach works for current needs despite not being
PostHog's typical use case.
Fix missing Keycloak service in tilt-dinum stack. Error went unnoticed
when switching from tilt-keycloak due to pods not being cleaned between
stack changes.
Replace default "visio" with "LaSuite Meet" and allow env variable
customization. Default Docker image uses "LaSuite Meet", but deployments
can override with custom values by setting env vars and rebuilding.
Our Helm chart wasn't suitable for use with Helm alone because jobs
remained after deployment. We chose to configure ttlSecondsAfterFinished
to clean up jobs after a period of time.
The current path is `/api/v`, and it doesn't work with `ingress-nginx`.
I'm not sure if other ingress controllers work with this prefix,
but changing it to `/api/` will work for `ingress-nginx`
and likely for others as well.
Enable users to join rooms via SIP telephony by:
- Dialing the SIP trunk number
- Entering the room's PIN followed by '#'
The PIN code needs to be generated before the LiveKit room is created,
allowing the owner to send invites to participants in advance.
With 10-digit PINs (10^10 combinations) and a large number of rooms
(e.g., 1M), collisions become statistically inevitable. A retry mechanism
helps reduce the chance of repeated collisions but doesn't eliminate
the overall risk.
With 100K generated PINs, the probability of at least one collision exceeds
39%, due to the birthday paradox.
To scale safely, we’ll later propose using multiple trunks. Each trunk
will handle a separate PIN namespace, and the combination of trunk_id and PIN
will ensure uniqueness. Room assignment will be evenly distributed across
trunks to balance load and minimize collisions.
Following XP principles, we’ll ship the simplest working version of this
feature. The goal is to deliver value quickly without over-engineering.
We’re not solving scaling challenges we don’t currently face.
Our production load is around 10,000 rooms — well within safe limits for
the initial implementation.
Discussion points:
- The `while` loop should be reviewed. Should we add rate limiting
for failed attempts?
- A systematic existence check before `INSERT` is more costly for a rare
event and doesn't prevent race conditions, whereas retrying on integrity
errors is more efficient overall.
- Should we add logging or monitoring to track and analyze collisions?
I tried to balance performance and simplicity while ensuring the
robustness of the PIN generation process.
Implement conditional rendering that hides all feedback-related UI components
when feedback is disabled in backend configuration.
Also, feedback URL is now customizable.
Refactor BaseEgress class to leverage latest livekit-api client's custom
session support. Simplifies code by using built-in capability to disable SSL
verification in development environments instead of previous workaround.
Increment Helm chart version to reflect changes to backend job component
naming. Ensures proper versioning of configuration changes in deployment
pipeline.
Update backend job configurations to use distinct component names instead of
sharing names with deployments. Prevents conflicts during cluster updates
and migrations that were causing unexpected behavior. Improves deployment
reliability and resource identification.
Rename backend migration job to a more descriptive name that clearly
indicates its purpose. Improves code clarity and makes deployment
configuration more self-documenting.
