< dfn > Jitsi< / dfn > is a set of open-source projects that allows you to easily build and deploy secure video conferencing solutions.

Is really easy to install, and also a really good private, federated and libre alternative to Zoom or other video conferencing software.
2021-08-01 02:00:20 +00:00
You can create calls just by typing the URL, and loging-in is not necessary.

Ok. So now we can install Jitsi, but before we do that, let's setup the firewall < code > ufw< / code > , in case you
2021-08-01 02:00:20 +00:00
have it enabled, and the SSL certificate.

2021-08-03 17:00:43 +00:00
< p > If you are using < a href = "ufw.html" > ufw< / a > or another firewall, there are several ports we need to ensure are open:< / p >
< pre > < code > ufw allow 80/tcp
ufw allow 443/tcp
ufw allow 10000/udp
ufw allow 3478/udp
ufw allow 5349/tcp
ufw enable< / code > < / pre >
< p > For your information, these allow the following:< / p >

< ul >
2021-08-03 17:00:43 +00:00
< li > 80 TCP – Certbot.< / li >
< li > 443 TCP – General access to Jitsi Meet.< / li >
< li > 10000 UDP – General network video/audio communications.< / li >
< li > 3478 UDP – Quering the stun server (coturn, optional, needs config.js change to enable it).< / li >
2021-08-01 02:00:20 +00:00
< li >
2021-08-03 17:00:43 +00:00
5349 TCP – Fallback network video/audio communications over TCP (when UDP is blocked for example), served by coturn.
2021-08-01 02:00:20 +00:00

I'll be using < a href = "./certbot.html" target = "blank" > certbot< / a > and
2021-08-03 17:00:43 +00:00
< a href = "./nginx.html" target = "blank" > Nginx< / a > to generate a certificate
for the Jitsi subdomain to allow encrypted connections.

2021-08-03 17:00:43 +00:00
We will not create an Nginx config file for Jitsi because the Jitsi package we will be installing will do that automatically.

< h2 > Installation< / h2 >
2021-08-03 17:00:43 +00:00
< p > To begin the installation process, just run:< / p >
2021-08-01 02:00:20 +00:00
< pre > < code > apt install jitsi-meet< / code > < / pre >
< p >
It will ask you for your < code > < strong > hostname< / strong > < /code
>; there you'll need to input the subdomain you have just added to Nginx, like
2021-08-03 17:00:43 +00:00
< code > < strong > meet.example.org< / strong > < / code > .
2021-08-01 02:00:20 +00:00
< / p >
< p > For the SSL certificate, choose < code > I want to use my own certificate< / code > .< / p >
< p >
When it ask you for the certification key and cert files, input
2021-08-03 17:00:43 +00:00
< code > /etc/letsencrypt/live/< strong > meet.example.org< / strong > /privkey.pem< / code > and
2021-09-08 03:31:04 +00:00
< code > /etc/letsencrypt/live/< strong > meet.example.org< / strong > /fullchain.pem< / code > respectively.
