Jitsi Video Chat

+ +
+ Jitsi +

+ 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 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. +

+

Dependencies and Installation

+

First, install some dependencies:

+ 
apt install gpg apt-transport-https nginx python-certbot-nginx
+

Jitsi has its own package repository, so let's add it.

+ 
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
+

+ 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. +

+

Enable Required Ports

+

If you are using ufw or another firewall, there are several ports we need to ensure are open:

+ 
ufw allow 80/tcp
+ufw allow 443/tcp
+ufw allow 10000/udp
+ufw allow 3478/udp
+ufw allow 5349/tcp
+ufw enable
+

For your information, these allow the following:

+
    +
  • 80 TCP – Certbot.
    • +
  • 443 TCP – General access to Jitsi Meet.
    • +
  • 10000 UDP – General network video/audio communications.
    • +
  • 3478 UDP – Quering the stun server (coturn, optional, needs config.js change to enable it).
    • +
  • + 5349 TCP – Fallback network video/audio communications over TCP (when UDP is blocked for example), served by coturn. +
    • +
+

SSL certificate

+

+ I'll be using certbot and + Nginx to generate a certificate + for the Jitsi subdomain to allow encrypted connections. +

+ 
certbot --nginx certonly -d meet.example.org
+

+ We will not create an Nginx config file for Jitsi because the Jitsi package we will be installing will do that automatically. +

+

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.org. +

+

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.org/privkey.pem and + /etc/letsencrypt/live/meet.example.org/cert.pem respectively. +

+

Using Jitsi

+ Jitsi once installed +

Jitsi can be used in a browser by then just going to meet.example.org.

+

Note that there are also Jitsi clients for all major platforms:

+ +

+ When using a Jitsti app for the first time, remember to go to the "Settings" menu and change your server name to the Jitsi site you just created. +

+

When you create a video chatroom, its address will appear as meet.example.org/yourvideochatname and can be shared as such.
