## Room Configuration via URL
You can configure a room by adding parameters as query parameters or as [`base64URL`](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64#The_URL_applications) encoded string in the hash component of a url.
You can take a look at examples for room configurations via URLs in our [examples](./examples) directory or in our [Glide tutorial](https://medium.com/jam/lets-build-a-micro-clubhouse-using-glide-and-jam-32597368fc98)
| key | value | note |
|----------------------|---------------------------|------|
| `room.name` | name of the room | |
| `room.description` | description of the room | |
| `room.color` | CSS value (e.g. "red" #CCCCCC) | primary color of the room, used for the primary action button and some styling like background chrome color, note that you need to encode the hash sign using %23 if passed as query parameter (#CCCCCC becomes %23CCCCCC) |
| `room.stageOnly` | true | users join directly on stage instead of in the audience |
| `ux.noLeave` | true | removes the "leave" button |
| `ux.autoCreate` | true | create room if it does not exist yet |
| `ux.autoJoin` | true | users join the room automatically without having to click a button to join |
| `ux.autoRejoin` | true | users re-join the room automatically if they have been in the room previously without having to click a button to join |
| `identity.name` | name of the user | |
| `identity.avatar` | image URL of the user | avatar, profile picture, user photo … |
| `keys.seed` | string seed for deriving a public/private keypair | a seed for deriving a public/private keypair. this keypair is for the current user within the room (related: creating rooms with a known set of moderators requires the public keys of the moderators) |
## Known Issues and Solutions
**📱 iPhone: audio output sometimes switches randomly between loudspeaker and earspeaker.**
Workaround: use bluetooth or cable headphones, this way audio will always go through the headphones.
**📱 iPhone & Android: when phone goes to sleep/lockscreen because of inactivity the microphone or sound output might stop working until you unlock the screen again**
Workaround: make sure you are using Jam in the standalone browser instead of within a webview
**Participants can hear me but I can not hear them**
When participants join a room on 🍓 Jam they start in the _audience_, you can add them to the stage by tapping on them and by tapping the `"invite to stage"` button
## Host Your Own Server
Hosting your own Jam server is easy.
### Minimum Requirements
To run your own Jam instance we recommend a minimum of 1 GB RAM and a 1GHz CPU.
e.g.: a Raspberry Pi (1+ GB RAM) or the smallest [Digital Ocean Basic Droplet (1 GB RAM)](https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing/) or the smallest [Linode shared plan (1 GB RAM)](https://www.linode.com/pricing/) or [t2.micro (1 GB RAM) on Amazon Web Services](https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/t2/) should be enough to get started.
### Install
1. Install docker and docker-compose (https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)
1. `git clone https://gitlab.com/jam-systems/jam.git`
1. `cd jam`
1. `git checkout stable`
1. `cd deployment`
1. `cp .env.example .env`
1. `nano .env` set `JAM_HOST` to the domain you want Jam to be available (If you are deploying on AWS you need a domain you own pointing to your sever as letsencrypt does not issue certificates for `*.compute.amazonaws.com` domains)
1. In your DNS settings point `${JAM_HOST}`, and `*.${JAM_HOST}` to your IP address (if you don't want a wildcard you need the subdomains `stun` and `turn` (e.g. stun.jam.example.com and turn.jam.example.com))
1. If you are behind a NAT:
1. Open ports 3478 and 3480, both TCP and UDP, and 80 and 443, TCP, on your firewall
1. `nano turnserver.conf` set `realm` to your domain. If you are running coturn behind NAT, you may need to add the parameter `external-ip` and give it the value of your public IP address.
1. `docker-compose up -d`
### Update
**NOTE:** Make sure you have the newest version of docker-compose (install according to https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/).
1. `cd jam/deployment`
2. `git checkout stable`
3. `git pull`
4. `docker-compose pull`
5. `docker-compose up -d`
**NOTE:** If you update from a version before March 23rd to one after and you want to keep users' identities and rooms:
1. `cd jam/deployment`
2. `docker-compose down`
3. `git checkout stable`
4. `git pull`
5. `docker-compose pull`
6. `mv ../pantryredis ../data`
7. `docker-compose up -d`
## Jam SDK
If you want to build your own audio room UI from scratch, or even develop a Jam bot, then Jam gives you the tools to do so as well! Take a look at [jam-core](https://gitlab.com/jam-systems/jam/-/tree/master/ui/packages/jam-core), our npm package which exposes all functionalities of Jam as a JavaScript library, without prescribing any UI.
For easily integrating `jam-core` into a React app, check out the companion package [jam-core-react](https://gitlab.com/jam-systems/jam/-/tree/master/ui/packages/jam-core-react). The official Jam app itself is primarily built on `jam-core-react`.
## Develop
In in the `ui` directory use `yarn` to install dependencies and `yarn start` to start the local development server.
Directory overview:
`deployment`/ docker compose file for deploying and hosting of Jam
`pantry`/ a lightweight server for handling authentication and coordination of Jam
`ui`/ web based user interface based on the React framework
