Server Installation for Jitsi Meet

⚠️ WARNING: Manual installation is not recommended. We recommend following the quick-install 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 sometimes is not updated to 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 available, mentioned in each section.

Install prosody

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

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:

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:

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:

prosodyctl register focus auth.jitsi.example.com YOURSECRET3

Restart prosody XMPP server with the new config

prosodyctl restart

Install nginx

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 443;
    # 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.example.com;
    index index.html;
    location ~ ^/([a-zA-Z0-9=\?]+)$ {
        rewrite ^/(.*)$ / break;
    }
    location / {
        ssi on;
    }
    # BOSH
    location /http-bind {
        proxy_pass      http://localhost:5280/http-bind;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
    }
}

Add link for the added configuration

cd /etc/nginx/sites-enabled
ln -s ../sites-available/jitsi.example.com jitsi.example.com

Install Jitsi Videobridge

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 default-jre

NOTE: When installing on older Debian releases keep in mind that you need JRE >= 1.7.

In the user home that will be starting Jitsi Videobridge create .sip-communicator folder and add the file sip-communicator.properties with one line in it:

org.jitsi.impl.neomedia.transform.srtp.SRTPCryptoContext.checkReplay=false

Start the videobridge with:

./jvb.sh --host=localhost --domain=jitsi.example.com --port=5347 --secret=YOURSECRET1 &

Or autostart it by adding the line in /etc/rc.local:

/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 default-jdk maven

NOTE: When installing on older Debian releases keep in mind that you need JDK >= 1.7.

Clone source from Github repo:

git clone https://github.com/jitsi/jicofo.git

Build distribution package. Replace {os-name} with one of: 'lin', 'lin64', 'macosx', 'win', 'win64'.

cd jicofo
mvn package -DskipTests -Dassembly.skipAssembly=false

Run jicofo:

=======
unzip target/jicofo-{os-name}-1.0-SNAPSHOT.zip
cd jicofo-{os-name}-1.0-SNAPSHOT'
./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:

cd /srv
git clone https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet.git
mv jitsi-meet/ jitsi.example.com
npm install
make

Edit host names in /srv/jitsi.example.com/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
};

Restart nginx to get the new configuration:

invoke-rc.d nginx restart

Running behind NAT

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):

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>

Hold your first conference

You are now all set and ready to have your first meet by going to http://jitsi.example.com
