But conducting a multi-user video conference on a mobile phone is not very easy nor is it convenient.
Of course, mobile apps offer a great diversity of options to stay in touch with one another. I found that I needed ways to stay in touch with them easily.
In these troubled times, communication with my friends and family have become critical. You can now generate a Let’s Encrypt certificate with: $ sudo /usr/share/jitsi-meet/scripts/install-letsencrypt-cert.Along with half of the world’s population, I find myself working from home due to sheltering requirements imposed on us by the COVID-19 pandemic. Now restart the services and add a user with the prosodyctl register command. Edit /etc/jitsi/meet/ and add the following lines to the hosts section: anonymousdomain: ‘’,įinally we should make focus requests only available to registered users, which is done by editing /etc/jitsi/jicofo/sip-communicator.properties and adding: .URL=XMPP: Now we’ll go from Lua to JavaScript and add the guest domain to the frontend. Then add (and adjust the domain in) the following at the end of the file to set up a guest domain: VirtualHost ""ĭon’t worry, the extra subdomains configured here are only used internally so they don’t need a bona fide DNS record. In the section beginning VirtualHost “” change the authentication line, currently set to anonymous, so that it reads: authentication = “internal_hashed” Edit the prosody configuration at /etc/prosody/conf.d/.lua (replacing the domain name as appropriate). With that working we can now address our server’s slightly too Open for Business attitude and add some authentication. Your web browser will ask for permission to use the camera and microphone, and you should see a message saying that you are the rightful moderator of this room.īeing alone in a room is no fun, so on another device (or get a friend to do this, if you have such a thing) visit the meeting by appending a slash followed by the room name to the server’s URL. You can skip this for now (just this once) and you will be greeted by the Jitsi welcome screen, from where you can start a new meeting. Just point it to and you’ll see the scary certificate warning we warned you about earlier.
We’ll replace it with a Let’s Encrypt certificate later.Īt this point, you should be able to log in to your server using your web browser.
#Jitsi firewall ports install
Then let the fireworks begin with: $ sudo apt install jitsi-meetĭuring package configuration, you’ll be asked for your Pi’s hostname, and whether you want to generate a new, self-signed certificate or use an existing one.Ĭhoose the first option if you don’t already have a valid one for this domain. $ echo ‘deb stable/’ | sudo tee /etc/apt//jitsi-stable.list First add the Jitsi repo with: $ | sudo sh -c ‘gpg -dearmor > /usr/share/keyrings/jitsi-keyring.gpg’ We’re more or less following the Self-Hosting Guide in the Handbook, so do check there if you run into difficulty. You’ll be fine using this guide to get things up and running, but just make sure you stop the services when they’re no longer needed.Īnd now we can get on with installation. You should also check the philosophy behind this openness (opens in new tab).
#Jitsi firewall ports how to
The handbook covers how to set up authentication, which you should do. If you leave your server running in this way for any length of time, sooner or later people or bots may discover your machine and potentially cause trouble.
