+ + Jitsi 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 alternative to Zoom or other video conferencing software. + You can create calls just by typing the URL, and loging-in is not necessary. +
++ In this tutorial I'm assuming you're running Devian 9 or newer on your server, although Jitsi is also + supported out-of-the-box for Ubuntu, but that need some extra steps you can see + here. +
+ +How to get
+ +First of all, you'll need to make sure you have apt-transport-https installed, so run
apt update
apt install apt-transport-httpsJitsi has its own package repository, so let's add it.
+ +curl https://download.jitsi.org/jitsi-key.gpg.key | sh -c 'gpg --dearmor > /usr/share/keyrings/jitsi-keyring.gpg'
echo 'deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/jitsi-keyring.gpg] https://download.jitsi.org stable/' | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jitsi-stable.list > /dev/null
+ Ok. So now we can install Jitsi, but before we do that, let's the firewall ufw, in case you
+ have it enabled, and the SSL certificate.
+
Setup and configure your firewall
+ +The following ports need to be open in your firewall, to allow traffic to the Jitsi Meet server:
+-
+
- 443 TCP - for general access to Jitsi Meet. +
- 10000 UDP - for general network video/audio communications. +
- 3478 UDP - for quering the stun server (coturn, optional, needs config.js change to enable it). +
- + 5349 TCP - for fallback network video/audio communications over TCP (when UDP is blocked for example), + served by coturn. + +
ufw allow 443/tcp
ufw allow 10000/udp
ufw allow 3478/udp
ufw allow 5349/tcp
ufw enableSSL certificate
+ ++ I'll be using certbot and + Nginx to generate the certificate. +
+
+ Add the subdomain to your Nginx configuration file, wich for me is
+ /etc/nginx/sites-available/mywebsite. Open it and add the following at the end:
+
server {
+ server_name meet.example.com ;
+ location / {
+ try_files $uri $uri/ =404 ;
+ }
+}
+ Substitute meet.example.com accordingly, where meet can be any subdomain you
+ want.
+
Run certbot and reload nginx.
Installation
+ +To begin the installation process, just run
+apt install jitsi-meet
+ It will ask you for your hostname; there you'll need to input the subdomain you have just added to Nginx, like
+ meet.example.com.
+
For the SSL certificate, choose I want to use my own certificate.
+ When it ask you for the certification key and cert files, input
+ /etc/letsencrypt/live/meet.example.com/privkey.pem and
+ /etc/letsencrypt/live/meet.example.com/cert.pem respectively.
+
Confirm that your installation is working
+ +Just open a web browser and go to meet.example.com.
Enjoy Jitsi!
