Integrations

Changemaker Lite integrates with several self-hosted services. Each runs as a Docker container and can be enabled independently.

Team Chat (Rocket.Chat)

Self-hosted team chat for volunteer coordination. Enable with enableChat in Settings.

  • Channels & DMs — organize conversations by topic, team, or campaign
  • Iframe integration — embedded in the admin dashboard and volunteer portal
  • Floating widget — minimizable chat FAB on admin pages (toggleable in Settings)
  • SSO-ready — iframe authentication for seamless login
  • Mobile apps — native Rocket.Chat apps work with your instance
  • Routes: /app/services/rocketchat, /volunteer/chat

Video Conferencing (Jitsi Meet)

Self-hosted video calls integrated with Rocket.Chat via JWT authentication. Enable with enableMeet in Settings.

  • One-click calls — start a call from any Rocket.Chat channel or DM
  • JWT auth — participants join automatically with no separate login
  • 4 containers — jitsi-web, jitsi-prosody (XMPP/JWT), jitsi-jicofo (conference focus), jitsi-jvb (video bridge)
  • Setup: Generate secrets, start containers, configure the Jitsi marketplace app in Rocket.Chat, set token expiration to now + 1hour

Token Expiration

Set the Jitsi app's Token Expiration to now + 1hour. A raw number like 120 is interpreted as Unix timestamp 120 (Jan 1970), causing all tokens to appear expired.

Password Manager (Vaultwarden)

Bitwarden-compatible password vault for secure team credential sharing.

  • Bitwarden client compatible — use official browser extensions, desktop apps, and mobile apps
  • Auto-invite — initial admin user invited on first startup
  • User provisioning — new platform users can be auto-invited when provisioning is enabled
  • Client setup: Point Bitwarden clients to https://vault.DOMAIN

Whiteboard (Excalidraw)

Collaborative whiteboard for brainstorming and campaign planning.

  • Real-time collaboration — multi-user drawing with WebSocket support
  • Embedded in admin — full-screen iframe at /app/services/excalidraw
  • Desktop only — requires a desktop browser for the drawing experience
  • Route: /app/services/excalidraw

Git Hosting (Gitea)

Self-hosted Git repository hosting for campaign code and configuration.

  • Lightweight Git forge — repositories, issues, pull requests, and wikis
  • User provisioning — platform users can be auto-provisioned as Gitea accounts
  • Embedded — accessible at git.DOMAIN or embedded in admin at /app/services/gitea

Workflow Automation (n8n)

Self-hosted workflow automation for connecting platform events to external services.

  • Visual workflow editor — drag-and-drop automation builder
