Install Jitsi-Meet on Debian 9 minimal

Are you setting this up as just a test case or because a client asked you to set this up?

JaredBusch

@DustinB3403 I want to use it for my D&D campaign.

ufw allow in 10000:20000/udp

I assume there is a way to narrow this range down to not use the entire "standard" audio/video UDP range, but I have not yet looked. I was more worried about getting things running smoothly and tested out.

@JaredBusch How has this been working for you?

@JaredBusch said in Install Jitsi-Meet on Debian 9 minimal:

sudo sh -c "echo 'deb https://download.jitsi.org unstable/' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jitsi-unstable.list"

Any reason your using the unstable build?

Because I was having problems and trying to track down issues.

I missed updating that back to stable for my post.

Post fixed.

@JaredBusch Ah, gotcha.

Also, you should post the full .conf

server {
        client_max_body_size 40M;
        server_name jitsi.domain.com;

    location / {
        ssi on;
        proxy_pass https://10.0.0.85/;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
    }
    # BOSH
    location /http-bind {
        proxy_pass http://10.0.0.85:5280/http-bind;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
    }

    # xmpp websockets
    location /xmpp-websocket {
        proxy_pass              http://10.0.0.85:5280/xmpp-websocket;
        proxy_http_version      1.1;
        proxy_set_header        Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header        Connection "upgrade";
        proxy_set_header        Host $host;
        tcp_nodelay             on;
    }

}

        tcp_nodelay             on;
    }

}

That would be totally inapproriate. This is not a guide about setting up Nginx.

@JaredBusch said in Install Jitsi-Meet on Debian 9 minimal:

If you are running your Jitsi-Meet instance behind NAT, then you must port forward the following ports to your Jitsti server:
80/tcp, 443/tcp, 10000:20000/ucp

According to this:

https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/blob/master/doc/quick-install.md#advanced-configuration

You only need to open TCP/443 and UDP 10000

And, I don't think you even need 443 since we are using a reverse proxy?

You are wrong.

@JaredBusch care to elaborate? It's working for me.

No, because it has all been posted. between here and my other thread.

I have been following you all over the web with your posting and you seem to know the most. I messed up and accidentally put in the wrong name at first and now after uninstalling jitsi and its components, I cannot get the screen that says "The hostname for the configuration" Might you know how I can do clear everything and get that screen to pop up in the install. greatly appreciated!

Easiest thing is to start over if you are doing a clean install as that will guarantee that you clean everything out. I've installed this recently, though, and don't know the screen that you are mentioning. Which setting is it that you are trying to set?

When it asked for a Hostname/FQDN during the installation.
