<dfn>Jitsi</dfn> is a set of open-source projects that allows you to easily build and deploy secure video conferencing solutions.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Is really easy to install, and also a really good private, federated and libre alternative to Zoom or other video conferencing software.
|
|
You can create calls just by typing the URL, and loging-in is not necessary.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Dependencies and Installation</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>First, install some dependencies:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>apt install gpg apt-transport-https nginx python3-certbot-nginx</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>Jitsi has its own package repository, so let's add it.</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class=wide><code>curl https://download.jitsi.org/jitsi-key.gpg.key | gpg --dearmor > /usr/share/keyrings/jitsi-keyring.gpg
|
|
echo 'deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/jitsi-keyring.gpg] https://download.jitsi.org stable/' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jitsi-stable.list
|
|
apt update -y</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Ok. So now we can install Jitsi, but before we do that, let's setup the firewall <code>ufw</code>, in case you
|
|
have it enabled, and the SSL certificate.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Enable Required Ports</h2>
|
|
|
|
<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>
|
|
<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>
|
|
<li>
|
|
5349 TCP – Fallback network video/audio communications over TCP (when UDP is blocked for example), served by coturn.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h2>SSL certificate</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
I'll be using <a href="./certbot.html" target="blank">certbot</a> and
|
|
<a href="./nginx.html" target="blank">Nginx</a> to generate a certificate
|
|
for the Jitsi subdomain to allow encrypted connections.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>certbot --nginx certonly -d <strong>meet.example.org</strong></code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
We will not create an Nginx config file for Jitsi because the Jitsi package we will be installing will do that automatically.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Installation</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>To begin the installation process, just run:</p>
|
|
<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
|
|
<code><strong>meet.example.org</strong></code>.
|
|
</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
|
|
<code>/etc/letsencrypt/live/<strong>meet.example.org</strong>/privkey.pem</code> and
|
|
<code>/etc/letsencrypt/live/<strong>meet.example.org</strong>/fullchain.pem</code> respectively.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Using Jitsi</h2>
|
|
|
|
<img src="pix/jitsi-01.webp" alt="Jitsi once installed">
|
|
|
|
<p>Jitsi can be used in a browser by then just going to <code>meet.example.org</code>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Note that there are also Jitsi clients for all major platforms:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><a href="https://desktop.jitsi.org/Main/Download.html">Desktop</a> (Windows, MacOS, GNU/Linux)</li>
|
|
<li>Android (<a href="https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.jitsi.meet/">F-Droid</a> and <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jitsi.meet">Google Play</a>)</li>
|
|
<li><a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/jitsi-meet/id1165103905">iPhone/iOS</a></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<strong>When using a Jitsi app for the first time, remember to go to the "Settings" menu and change your server name to the Jitsi site you just created.</strong>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>When you create a video chatroom, its address will appear as <code><strong>meet.example.org/yourvideochatname</strong></code> and can be shared as such.</p>
