[guardian-dev] jitsi-monitor to track basic data about all known public instances

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

With everyone needing video conferencing these days, there has been an
explosion of public Jitsi Meet instances, which is great to see.  In
order to help people choose which one works for them, I have set up
"jitsi-monitor", it runs once a day on all known public Jitsi Meet
instances and gathers some basic data on them:

* configuration including STUN servers, analytics, etc.
* TLS settings and connection timing
* TCP traceroute
* what else?

This script should also work for people to run on their own network to
choose the closest instance.  The source code is here:
https://gitlab.com/guardianproject/jitsi-monitor

The results from our runs on GitLab CI are here in very basic HTML
format.  I'd love to see this used by someone who makes nice Javascript
UIs.  There is a full JSON report available there too:
