2014-04-16 00:01:07 +00:00
2015-05-27 18:49:26 +00:00
This describes configuring a server `jitsi.example.com` running Debian or a Debian Derivative. You will need to
2014-04-16 02:50:02 +00:00
change references to that to match your host, and generate some passwords for
2014-12-22 12:05:20 +00:00
`YOURSECRET1` , `YOURSECRET2` , `YOURSECRET3` and `YOURSECRET4` .
2014-04-16 02:50:02 +00:00
2014-05-15 21:50:31 +00:00
There are also some complete [example config files ](https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/tree/master/doc/example-config-files/ ) available, mentioned in each section.

## Configure prosody
2015-06-01 12:01:31 +00:00
Add config file in `/etc/prosody/conf.avail/jitsi.example.com.cfg.lua` :
- add your domain virtual host section:
2014-04-16 03:04:42 +00:00
2014-04-16 00:01:07 +00:00
```
2014-05-16 05:15:54 +00:00
VirtualHost "jitsi.example.com"
2014-12-22 12:05:20 +00:00
authentication = "anonymous"
ssl = {
key = "/var/lib/prosody/jitsi.example.com.key";
certificate = "/var/lib/prosody/jitsi.example.com.crt";
}
2015-06-01 12:01:31 +00:00
modules_enabled = {

}
2014-12-22 12:05:20 +00:00
```
- add domain with authentication for conference focus user:
```
VirtualHost "auth.jitsi.example.com"

```
admins = { "focus@auth.jitsi.example.com" }
2014-04-16 00:01:07 +00:00

Component "focus.jitsi.example.com"
component_secret = "YOURSECRET2"
2014-04-16 00:01:07 +00:00
```
2015-06-01 12:01:31 +00:00

## Deploy Jitsi Meet
Checkout and configure Jitsi Meet:
2014-04-16 00:01:07 +00:00
```sh
cd /srv
2014-04-16 19:18:17 +00:00
git clone https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet.git
2014-05-16 05:15:54 +00:00
mv jitsi-meet/ jitsi.example.com
2014-04-16 00:01:07 +00:00
```
2014-05-16 05:15:54 +00:00
Edit host names in `/srv/jitsi.example.com/config.js` (see also the example config file):
2014-04-16 00:01:07 +00:00
```
var config = {
hosts: {
2014-05-16 05:15:54 +00:00
domain: 'jitsi.example.com',
muc: 'conference.jitsi.example.com',
bridge: 'jitsi-videobridge.jitsi.example.com'
2014-04-16 00:01:07 +00:00
},
useNicks: false,
2014-09-03 00:51:44 +00:00
bosh: '//jitsi.example.com/http-bind', // FIXME: use xep-0156 for that
desktopSharing: 'false' // Desktop sharing method. Can be set to 'ext', 'webrtc' or false to disable.
2014-04-16 19:18:17 +00:00
//chromeExtensionId: 'diibjkoicjeejcmhdnailmkgecihlobk', // Id of desktop streamer Chrome extension
//minChromeExtVersion: '0.1' // Required version of Chrome extension
2014-04-16 00:01:07 +00:00
};
```
2014-04-16 02:50:02 +00:00
Restart nginx to get the new configuration:
```sh
invoke-rc.d nginx restart
```
## Running behind NAT
2015-10-09 17:39:00 +00:00
Jitsi-Videobridge can run behind a NAT, provided that all required ports are routed (forwarded) to the machine that it runs on. By default these ports are (TCP/443 or TCP/4443 and UDP 10000-20000).
The following extra lines need to be added the file `~/.sip-communicator/sip-communicator.properties` (in the home directory of the user running the videobridge):
2014-04-16 02:50:02 +00:00
```
org.jitsi.videobridge.NAT_HARVESTER_LOCAL_ADDRESS=< Local.IP.Address >
org.jitsi.videobridge.NAT_HARVESTER_PUBLIC_ADDRESS=< Public.IP.Address >
```
So the file should look like this at the end:
```
org.jitsi.impl.neomedia.transform.srtp.SRTPCryptoContext.checkReplay=false
org.jitsi.videobridge.NAT_HARVESTER_LOCAL_ADDRESS=< Local.IP.Address >
org.jitsi.videobridge.NAT_HARVESTER_PUBLIC_ADDRESS=< Public.IP.Address >
```
2014-05-16 05:15:54 +00:00
# Hold your first conference
You are now all set and ready to have your first meet by going to http://jitsi.example.com
2014-07-06 15:33:21 +00:00
## Enabling recording
Currently recording is only supported for linux-64 and macos. To enable it, add
the following properties to sip-communicator.properties:
```
org.jitsi.videobridge.ENABLE_MEDIA_RECORDING=true
org.jitsi.videobridge.MEDIA_RECORDING_PATH=/path/to/recordings/dir
org.jitsi.videobridge.MEDIA_RECORDING_TOKEN=secret
```
where /path/to/recordings/dir is the path to a pre-existing directory where recordings
will be stored (needs to be writeable by the user running jitsi-videobridge),
and "secret" is a string which will be used for authentication.
Then, edit the Jitsi-Meet config.js file and set:
```
2014-07-06 15:40:17 +00:00
enableRecording: true
2014-07-06 15:33:21 +00:00
```
Restart jitsi-videobridge and start a new conference (making sure that the page
is reloaded with the new config.js) -- the organizer of the conference should
2015-06-28 13:47:13 +00:00
now have a "recording" button in the floating menu, near the "mute" button.
