# Server Installation for Jitsi Meet
|
|
|
|
:warning: **WARNING:** Manual installation is not recommended. We recommend following the [quick-install](https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/blob/master/doc/quick-install.md) document. The current document describes the steps that are needed to install a working deployment, but steps are easy to mess up, and the debian packages are more up-to-date, where this document is sometimes not updated to reflect latest changes.
|
|
|
|
This describes configuring a server `jitsi.example.com` running Debian or a Debian Derivative. You will need to
|
|
change references to that to match your host, and generate some passwords for
|
|
`YOURSECRET1`, `YOURSECRET2` and `YOURSECRET3`.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
There are additional configurations to be done for a [scalable installation](https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/tree/master/doc/scalable-installation.md)
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Install prosody
|
|
```sh
|
|
apt-get install prosody
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Configure prosody
|
|
Add config file in `/etc/prosody/conf.avail/jitsi.example.com.cfg.lua` :
|
|
|
|
- add your domain virtual host section:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
VirtualHost "jitsi.example.com"
|
|
authentication = "anonymous"
|
|
ssl = {
|
|
key = "/var/lib/prosody/jitsi.example.com.key";
|
|
certificate = "/var/lib/prosody/jitsi.example.com.crt";
|
|
}
|
|
modules_enabled = {
|
|
"bosh";
|
|
"pubsub";
|
|
}
|
|
c2s_require_encryption = false
|
|
```
|
|
- add domain with authentication for conference focus user:
|
|
```
|
|
VirtualHost "auth.jitsi.example.com"
|
|
ssl = {
|
|
key = "/var/lib/prosody/auth.jitsi.example.com.key";
|
|
certificate = "/var/lib/prosody/auth.jitsi.example.com.crt";
|
|
}
|
|
authentication = "internal_plain"
|
|
```
|
|
- add focus user to server admins:
|
|
```
|
|
admins = { "focus@auth.jitsi.example.com" }
|
|
```
|
|
- and finally configure components:
|
|
```
|
|
Component "conference.jitsi.example.com" "muc"
|
|
Component "jitsi-videobridge.jitsi.example.com"
|
|
component_secret = "YOURSECRET1"
|
|
Component "focus.jitsi.example.com"
|
|
component_secret = "YOURSECRET2"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Add link for the added configuration
|
|
```sh
|
|
ln -s /etc/prosody/conf.avail/jitsi.example.com.cfg.lua /etc/prosody/conf.d/jitsi.example.com.cfg.lua
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Generate certs for the domain:
|
|
```sh
|
|
prosodyctl cert generate jitsi.example.com
|
|
prosodyctl cert generate auth.jitsi.example.com
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Add auth.jitsi.example.com to the trusted certificates on the local machine:
|
|
```sh
|
|
ln -sf /var/lib/prosody/auth.jitsi.example.com.crt /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/auth.jitsi.example.com.crt
|
|
update-ca-certificates -f
|
|
```
|
|
Note that the `-f` flag is necessary if there are symlinks left from a previous installation.
|
|
|
|
Create conference focus user:
|
|
```sh
|
|
prosodyctl register focus auth.jitsi.example.com YOURSECRET3
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Restart prosody XMPP server with the new config
|
|
```sh
|
|
prosodyctl restart
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Install Nginx
|
|
```sh
|
|
apt-get install nginx
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Add a new file `jitsi.example.com` in `/etc/nginx/sites-available` (see also the example config file):
|
|
```
|
|
server_names_hash_bucket_size 64;
|
|
|
|
server {
|
|
listen 0.0.0.0:443 ssl http2;
|
|
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
|
|
# tls configuration that is not covered in this guide
|
|
# we recommend the use of https://certbot.eff.org/
|
|
server_name jitsi.example.com;
|
|
# set the root
|
|
root /srv/jitsi-meet;
|
|
index index.html;
|
|
location ~ ^/([a-zA-Z0-9=\?]+)$ {
|
|
rewrite ^/(.*)$ / break;
|
|
}
|
|
location / {
|
|
ssi on;
|
|
}
|
|
# BOSH, Bidirectional-streams Over Synchronous HTTP
|
|
# https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BOSH_(protocol)
|
|
location /http-bind {
|
|
proxy_pass http://localhost:5280/http-bind;
|
|
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
|
|
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
|
|
}
|
|
# external_api.js must be accessible from the root of the
|
|
# installation for the electron version of Jitsi Meet to work
|
|
# https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron
|
|
location /external_api.js {
|
|
alias /srv/jitsi-meet/libs/external_api.min.js;
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Add link for the added configuration
|
|
```sh
|
|
cd /etc/nginx/sites-enabled
|
|
ln -s ../sites-available/jitsi.example.com jitsi.example.com
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Install Jitsi Videobridge
|
|
Visit https://download.jitsi.org/jitsi-videobridge/linux to determine the current build number, download and unzip it:
|
|
```sh
|
|
wget https://download.jitsi.org/jitsi-videobridge/linux/jitsi-videobridge-linux-{arch-buildnum}.zip
|
|
unzip jitsi-videobridge-linux-{arch-buildnum}.zip
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Install JRE if missing:
|
|
```
|
|
apt-get install openjdk-8-jre
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
_NOTE: When installing on older Debian releases keep in mind that you need JRE >= 1.7._
|
|
|
|
Create `~/.sip-communicator/sip-communicator.properties` in the home folder of the user that will be starting Jitsi Videobridge:
|
|
```sh
|
|
mkdir -p ~/.sip-communicator
|
|
cat > ~/.sip-communicator/sip-communicator.properties << EOF
|
|
org.jitsi.impl.neomedia.transform.srtp.SRTPCryptoContext.checkReplay=false
|
|
# The videobridge uses 443 by default with 4443 as a fallback, but since we're already
|
|
# running nginx on 443 in this example doc, we specify 4443 manually to avoid a race condition
|
|
org.jitsi.videobridge.TCP_HARVESTER_PORT=4443
|
|
EOF
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Start the videobridge with:
|
|
```sh
|
|
./jvb.sh --host=localhost --domain=jitsi.example.com --port=5347 --secret=YOURSECRET1 &
|
|
```
|
|
Or autostart it by adding the line in `/etc/rc.local`:
|
|
```sh
|
|
/bin/bash /root/jitsi-videobridge-linux-{arch-buildnum}/jvb.sh --host=localhost --domain=jitsi.example.com --port=5347 --secret=YOURSECRET1 </dev/null >> /var/log/jvb.log 2>&1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Install Jitsi Conference Focus (jicofo)
|
|
|
|
Install JDK and Maven if missing:
|
|
```
|
|
apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk maven
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
_NOTE: When installing on older Debian releases keep in mind that you need JDK >= 1.7._
|
|
|
|
Clone source from Github repo:
|
|
```sh
|
|
git clone https://github.com/jitsi/jicofo.git
|
|
```
|
|
Build the package.
|
|
```sh
|
|
cd jicofo
|
|
mvn package -DskipTests -Dassembly.skipAssembly=false
|
|
```
|
|

|
|
=======
|
|
unzip target/jicofo-1.1-SNAPSHOT-archive.zip
|
|
cd jicofo-1.1-SNAPSHOT-archive'
|
|
./jicofo.sh --host=localhost --domain=jitsi.example.com --secret=YOURSECRET2 --user_domain=auth.jitsi.example.com --user_name=focus --user_password=YOURSECRET3
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Deploy Jitsi Meet
|
|
Checkout and configure Jitsi Meet:
|
|
```sh
|
|
cd /srv
|
|
git clone https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet.git
|
|
cd jitsi-meet
|
|
npm install
|
|
make
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
_NOTE: When installing on older distributions keep in mind that you need Node.js >= 12 and npm >= 6._
|
|
|
|
Edit host names in `/srv/jitsi-meet/config.js` (see also the example config file):
|
|
```
|
|
var config = {
|
|
hosts: {
|
|
domain: 'jitsi.example.com',
|
|
muc: 'conference.jitsi.example.com',
|
|
bridge: 'jitsi-videobridge.jitsi.example.com',
|
|
focus: 'focus.jitsi.example.com'
|
|
},
|
|
useNicks: false,
|
|
bosh: '//jitsi.example.com/http-bind', // FIXME: use xep-0156 for that
|
|
//chromeExtensionId: 'diibjkoicjeejcmhdnailmkgecihlobk', // Id of desktop streamer Chrome extension
|
|
//minChromeExtVersion: '0.1' // Required version of Chrome extension
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Verify that nginx config is valid and reload nginx:
|
|
```sh
|
|
nginx -t && nginx -s reload
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Running behind NAT
|
|
Jitsi Videobridge can run behind a NAT, provided that both required ports are routed (forwarded) to the machine that it runs on. By default these ports are `TCP/4443` and `UDP/10000`.
|
|
|
|
If you do not route these two ports, Jitsi Meet will only work with video for two people, breaking upon 3 or more people trying to show video.
|
|
|
|
`TCP/443` is required for the webserver which can be running on another machine than the Jitsi Videobrige is running on.
|
|
|
|
The following extra lines need to be added to the file `~/.sip-communicator/sip-communicator.properties` (in the home directory of the user running the videobridge):
|
|
```
|
|
org.ice4j.ice.harvest.NAT_HARVESTER_LOCAL_ADDRESS=<Local.IP.Address>
|
|
org.ice4j.ice.harvest.NAT_HARVESTER_PUBLIC_ADDRESS=<Public.IP.Address>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Hold your first conference
|
|
You are now all set and ready to have your first meet by going to http://jitsi.example.com
|
|
|
|
## Enabling recording
|
|
[Jibri](https://github.com/jitsi/jibri) is a set of tools for recording and/or streaming a Jitsi Meet conference.
