Hello,

I explain my architecture.

On one side I’ve installed Nextcloud on a Raspberry Pi 5 with the basic LAMP webarchive technique on Raspberry Pi OS 13 Trixie.

On the other side I’ve got a traditional computer with Debian 13 Trixie. There I installed Docker, Docker compose, Ngnix Proxy Manager, High Performance Backend,
With this documentation : https://github.com/nextcloud/nextcloud-talk-recording/blob/main/docs/installation.md I installed the gecko driver and dependencies.

Then I used this documentation https://github.com/nextcloud/nextcloud-talk-recording/issues/45 to install the talk-recording Docker.

In the docker-compose.yml file there is the SIGNALING_SECRET parameter.

Moreover I created the recording.conf file in the folder /conf/ and link to the folder /etc/nextcloud-talk-recording/ and /option/.

But when I check the log of the nc-recording Docker with the command :

docker logs -t nc-recording

The result is :

WARNING:selenium.webdriver.common.selenium_manager:The geckodriver version (0.35.0) detected in PATH at /usr/bin/geckodriver might not be compatible with the detected firefox version (136.0); currently, geckodriver 0.36.0 is recommended for firefox 136.*, so it is advised to delete the driver in PATH and retry ERROR:nextcloud.talk.recording.Server:Failed to start recording: https://nextcloud.assolsf05.fr/ amxab8ty
 Traceback (most recent call last):

     raise Exception(f"No configured signaling secret for {settings['server']}")
 Exception: No configured signaling secret for wss://signal.assolsf05.fr

The result of the command geckodriver -V is :
geckodriver 0.36.0 (a3d508507022 2025-02-24 15:57 +0000)

Please help me.

Research direction

Start with docker-compose.yml, recording.conf, and the traceback in nextcloud/talk/recording/Participant.py at line 519. Run docker logs -t nc-recording and compare the recording container's SIGNALING_SECRET configuration with the wss://signal.assolsf05.fr endpoint. Done means a Talk recording starts without the missing signaling-secret error.
