- 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
- <a href="https://jitsi.github.io/handbook/docs/devops-guide/devops-guide-quickstart" target="blank">here</a
- >.
- </p>
- <h2>How to get</h2>
+ <h2>Dependencies and Installation</h2>
- <p>First of all, you'll need to make sure you have <code>apt-transport-https</code> installed, so run</p>
+ <p>First, install some dependencies:</p>
- <pre><code>apt update<br>apt install apt-transport-https</code></pre>
+ <pre><code>apt install gpg apt-transport-https nginx python-certbot-nginx</code></pre>
<p>Jitsi has its own package repository, so let's add it.</p>
- <pre><code>curl https://download.jitsi.org/jitsi-key.gpg.key | sh -c 'gpg --dearmor &#62; /usr/share/keyrings/jitsi-keyring.gpg'<br><br>echo 'deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/jitsi-keyring.gpg] https://download.jitsi.org stable/' | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jitsi-stable.list &#62; /dev/null</code></pre>
+ <pre class=wide><code>curl https://download.jitsi.org/jitsi-key.gpg.key | gpg --dearmor &#62; /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 the firewall <code>ufw</code>, in case you
have it enabled, and the SSL certificate.
</p>
- <h2></h2>
+ <h2>Enable Required Ports</h2>
- <h2>Setup and configure your firewall</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>
- <p>The following ports need to be open in your firewall, to allow traffic to the Jitsi Meet server:</p>
<ul>
- <li>443 TCP - for general access to Jitsi Meet.</li>
- <li>10000 UDP - for general network video/audio communications.</li>
- <li>3478 UDP - for quering the stun server (coturn, optional, needs config.js change to enable it).</li>
+ <li>80 TCP &ndash; Certbot.</li>
+ <li>443 TCP &ndash; General access to Jitsi Meet.</li>
+ <li>10000 UDP &ndash; General network video/audio communications.</li>
+ <li>3478 UDP &ndash; Quering the stun server (coturn, optional, needs config.js change to enable it).</li>
<li>
- 5349 TCP - for fallback network video/audio communications over TCP (when UDP is blocked for example),
- served by coturn.
+ 5349 TCP &ndash; Fallback network video/audio communications over TCP (when UDP is blocked for example), served by coturn.
</li>
</ul>
- <pre><code>ufw allow 443/tcp<br>ufw allow 10000/udp<br>ufw allow 3478/udp<br>ufw allow 5349/tcp<br>ufw enable</code></pre>
<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 the certificate.
- </p>
- <p>
- Add the subdomain to your Nginx configuration file, wich for me is
- <code>/etc/nginx/sites-available/mywebsite</code>. Open it and add the following at the end:
+ <a href="./nginx.html" target="blank">Nginx</a> to generate a certificate
+ for the Jitsi subdomain to allow encrypted connections.
</p>
- <pre><code>server {
- server_name <strong>meet.example.com</strong> ;
- location / {
- try_files $uri $uri/ =404 ;
- }
-}</code></pre>
+ <pre><code>certbot --nginx certonly -d <strong>meet.example.org</strong></code></pre>
<p>
- Substitute <code>meet.example.com</code> accordingly, where <code>meet</code> can be any subdomain you
- want.
+ We will not create an Nginx config file for Jitsi because the Jitsi package we will be installing will do that automatically.
</p>
- <p>Run <code>certbot</code> and reload nginx.</p>
-
<h2>Installation</h2>
- <p>To begin the installation process, just run</p>
+ <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>meet.example.com</code>.
+ <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.com</strong>/privkey.pem</code> and
- <code>/etc/letsencrypt/live/<strong>meet.example.com</strong>/cert.pem</code> respectively.
+ <code>/etc/letsencrypt/live/<strong>meet.example.org</strong>/privkey.pem</code> and
+ <code>/etc/letsencrypt/live/<strong>meet.example.org</strong>/cert.pem</code> respectively.
</p>
- <h3>Confirm that your installation is working</h3>
+ <h2>Using Jitsi</h2>
- <p>Just open a web browser and go to <code>meet.example.com</code>.</p>
+ <img src="pix/jitsi-01.webp" alt="Jitsi once installed">
- <h3>Enjoy Jitsi!</h3>
+ <p>Jitsi can be used in a browser by then just going to <code>meet.example.org</code>.</p>
- <h2>More info</h2>
+ <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>
