sudo hostnamectl set-hostname jitsi.your-domain.The following command will set the current hostname and modify the /etc/hostname that holds the system’s hostname between reboots: Jitsi Meet uses both of these settings when it installs and generates its configuration files.įirst, set the system’s hostname to the domain name that you will use for your Jitsi instance. In this step, you will change the system’s hostname to match the domain name that you intend to use for your Jitsi Meet instance and resolve that hostname to the localhost IP, 127.0.0.1.

When more than two clients are present then call data is routed through the Jitsi Meet server. The jump in resource use between two and three participants is because Jitsi will route the call data directly between the clients when there are two of them. The following benchmark information was collected from a single-core virtual machine using high-quality video settings: When you are choosing a server to run your Jitsi Meet instance you will need to consider the system resources needed to host conference rooms. Throughout this guide, the example domain name jitsi.your-domain is used.

You can learn how to point domains to DigitalOcean Droplets by following the How To Set Up a Host Name with DigitalOcean tutorial.

The default configuration allows anyone to create a new conference room.
#INSTALL JITSI MEET DEBIAN 10 INSTALL#
In this tutorial, you will install and configure a Jitsi Meet server on Debian 10. With Jitsi you can be sure that your private information stays that way. The benefit of a Jitsi conference is that all your data only passes through your server, and the end-to-end TLS encryption ensures that no one can snoop on the call. A Jitsi Meet server provides multi-person video conference rooms that you can access using nothing more than your browser and provides comparable functionality to a Zoom or Skype conference call. Jitsi Meet is an open-source video-conferencing application based on WebRTC.

Please note that the steps below are only minimal required changes, you can tweak a lot more in this nginx configuration. It is located under /etc/nginx/sites-available/. The jitsi-meet package ships with an nginx configuration. Step 7 - Modify shipped nginx configuration We let the installer generate the certificate but won't use it. Time to register your certificate (don't forget to replace the email and domain with your certificate):Ĭertbot certonly -nginx -rsa-key-size 4096 -m -d Step 6 - Install Jitsi Meetįinally we can install jitsi-meet on our server.ĭuring the installation process you need to enter your chosen domain name (not the example !) and select the option to generate a self-signed certificate. We will use certbot from EFF for the Let's Encrypt certificates. Next we register Let's Encrypt certificates for TLS encryption. For performance reasons we install a webserver otherwise jitsi-meet will use a builtin java webserver called jetty.Īpt-get install nginx -y Step 5 - Register a certificate In case you already have a webserver installed you can skip this step.

These steps describe the manual installation process. usr/share/jitsi-meet/scripts/install-letsencrypt-cert.shĬontinue now with Step 8 below. Jitsi Meet also offers a script for this task. It will be used to configure the virtual host. Step 4 - Install Jitsi Meetĭuring the installation process you need to enter your chosen domain name (not the example !). Otherwise scroll down to the manual installation. If you do not have any existing setup on this machine yet, you can use these steps. Jitsi Meet can install and configure a webserver and certificates itself. Also edit the hosts file under /etc/hosts and replace the default with the chosen FQDN, in this tutorial. If this server is for jitsi-meet only, then you should set the hostname with hostnamectl set-hostname talk.

Apt-get update Step 3 - Configure the hostname (optional)
