Jitsi Meet quick install
This documents decribes the needed steps for quick Jitsi Meet installation on a Debian based GNU/Linux system.
Add the repository
add-apt-repository 'deb http://download.jitsi.org/nightly/deb unstable/'
add-apt-repository is in the default Ubuntu install and is available for both Ubuntu and Debian, but if it's not present, either install it with
apt-get -y install software-properties-common
or add the repository by hand with
echo 'deb http://download.jitsi.org/nightly/deb trusty unstable/' >> /etc/apt/sources.list
Update the package lists
apt-get update
Install Jitsi Meet
apt-get -y install jitsi-meet
During the installation you'll be asked to enter the hostname of the Jitsi Meet instance. If you have a FQDN hostname for the instance already set ip in DNS, enter it there. If you don't have a resolvable hostname, you can enter the IP address of the machine (if it is static or doesn't change).
This hostname (ot IP address) will be used for virtualhost configuration inside the Jitsi Meet and also you and your correspondents will be using it to access the web conferences.
Open a conference
Launch a web broswer (Chrome, Chromium or latest Opera) and enter in the URL bar the hostname (or IP address) you used in the previous step.
Confirm that you trust the self-signed certificate of the newly installed Jitsi Meet.
Enjoy!
