docs(devops-guide): add bridge-based transcription guide#645
Merged
Conversation
Document enabling transcriptions via the bridge-based transcription proxy (opus-transcriber-proxy): running it as a standalone container and on Cloudflare, a sample Prosody module forcing asyncTranscription for all rooms, and Jicofo configuration including Cloudflare Zero Trust auth via HTTP headers. Note that Jigasi-based transcription is deprecated.

opus-transcriber-proxy now pulls libopus in as a git submodule and no longer uses the Emscripten 'npm run configure' setup. Update the standalone-container and Cloudflare build steps to check out the submodule and use docker:build / the documented Worker flow, and note the OPUS_BACKEND runtime selection.
Lead the standalone-container instructions with the prebuilt jitsi/opus-transcriber-proxy image from Docker Hub instead of building locally. Build-from-source steps live in the opus-transcriber-proxy repo and are referenced rather than duplicated.

It misses that config.js needs changing:
transcription: {
enabled: true,
| } | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|

| Reload prosody (`prosodyctl reload`) afterwards. |

It needs restarting prosody as it does not load the module, otherwise.
- Change host port to 9090 to avoid conflict with JVB's default 8080 - Drop non-existent room_metadata module from Prosody config - Replace prosodyctl reload with systemctl restart prosody - Add &sendBack=true to Jicofo url-template - Add systemctl restart jicofo note after Jicofo config
