This VoIP software solution looks very promising. You can set up a guest account that all users log in with and then they can change their username as appropriate. Also allows for videoconferencing as well as file sharing.

We set up a Teamtalk server here several weeks ago and have tested it on a 10 MHz channel. LQ/NLQ on all three users was 90 or greater.
A three way voice QSO worked just fine. A videoconference using the default parameters of 320x240x10fps fell on its butt; we couldn't get more than 1-2 fps across it, and we're not sure why. According to an online calculator that should require about 1.2 MHz. Comments appreciated!

Have you done any sustained throughput tests? Try doing them in opposite directions at the same time to see if contention lowers it by more than 50%.
We haven't done any more testing. Most of us (teamtalk testers) run Linux and we're being delayed by issue getting the Linux teamtalk client running. The initial testing was done with the Windows client. More later..
I'd be interested in testing against your server. I'm running the Mac client.
Let's try that soon, Darryl. We'll have to get a tunnel going though.

The latest version of the client requires Debian 8 or Ubuntu 17 since the author changed the audio/video support. You can use an older version of the client if you have an older Linux.
Apple OS works but you will need the Beta version to get your video to work.
Iphone and Android work but most have no video support. My newer Android can see video but not send.
Windows works well.
If you want to test, email me at arrl.net and I will send you my public IP.
I have it connected so that we can have a video conference between mesh users and internet users.

The help file says to first install some libqt4 files, but it fails installing on libqt4-core and libqt4-gui.
apt-get install libqt4-core libqt4-network libqt4-xml libqt4-gui libasound2
"Unable to locate package libqt4-core"
"Unable to locate package libqt4-gui"
I have found several different suggestions on installing libqt4, and none seem to fix this issue.
Examples:
sudo apt-get install libqt4-designer libqt4-opengl libqt4-svg libqtgui4 libqtwebkit4
sudo apt install libqtcore4 libqtgui4
One site claims the files no longer exist.

Teamtalk includes: texting, voice conferencing, video conference, desktop sharing and file sharing. We enjoy using it for our weekly nets.

I also am interested in installing the server and/or the client on several PIs. Last time I went trying to find documentation related to that type of install I got quite confused. Could anyone please share a URL that has cook-book type instructions for doing so, and/or any notes on its use on an AREDN mesh?
TIA,

It's a mess - the existing installation (at least for Debian/Raspbian) is for a Linux server based on init scripts. The current versions of those OSes, for better or worse, have moved to systemd for app startup, management and shutdown. I muddled through it a couple of times, but there's no good documentation on how to adapt the existing install to the latest Linuxes. I'll do another install and consolidate and document what needs to be done. Prerequisites are some familiarity with Linux and a text editor. (It's not hard with instructions :-D )

IIRC, Jesse was not using systemd unless the user changed to it. I have an old image copy of Rasian Jesse for the PI, would it be easier there?
Obviously most everyone is either on Stretch or Buster by now but I tend to drag my feet on OS kernal upgrades unless I have to do so, hence I still use Jesse on a few PIs.
TIA,

ps: I can't spell vi but I do use nano.
pps: or am I confused about Jesse and thinking about Wheezy? Guess I should have paid more attention in Toy Story movies.
Did you ever get around to putting together instructions for this? I just took a crack at it again and can't get it to work. On a Raspberry Pi 4
Did you try the 'turn-key' teamtalk v5.4 image?

I assume that a 'server' application should run from a 'spinning' or 'solid-state' drive instead of a micro-SD card, so
I installed NOOBS_lite. The NOOBS installs permit installing the root filesystem to an external drive. The RPI still
boots from the SD card, but that is a read-only function. Thus the SD card life should be infinite.
I used instructions found on the arednmesh.org forum and set up the 'systemd' service so teamtalk will be running
after each boot.

I ran a client instance on another computer on the same LAN and it 'connected'.
KM6SLF: Please give more detail to "took a crack at it again and can't get it to work'.

Any tips? Googleing didn't yield any useful results.

Try
sudo apt-get install libssl -y
If you have a 'desktop' installed, use Preferences -> Synaptic.
I hope this helps,
