Jitsi Meet is an open-source video conferencing application that can be used for remote online meetings or video chats. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Jitsi Meet on your Fedora Server Latest.
Before installing Jitsi Meet, make sure your system is up to date.
sudo dnf update -y
Also, make sure that your server has a domain name pointing to the server's IP address. If you don't have a domain name, you can use the server's IP address to access Jitsi Meet.
To install Jitsi Meet, we need to install some dependencies first. Run the following command to install the required dependencies.
sudo dnf install -y java-11-openjdk-devel nginx certbot python3-certbot-nginx wget
Once the dependencies are installed, let's download the Jitsi Meet installation script using the following command.
wget -qO - https://download.jitsi.org/jitsi-meet-current.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo sh -c "echo 'deb https://download.jitsi.org stable/' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jitsi-stable.list"
sudo dnf update -y
sudo dnf install -y jitsi-meet
After Jitsi Meet is installed, we need to configure it to work with our server's domain name. In this example, we will use the domain meet.example.com. Replace this domain name with your own domain name in the following commands.
sudo hostnamectl set-hostname meet.example.com
Edit the Nginx configuration to enable HTTPS.
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/meet.example.com.conf
Add the following lines to the configuration file after ssl_certificate_key:
listen 443 ssl;
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/meet.example.com/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/meet.example.com/privkey.pem;
Save and close the file.
Now, run the following command to obtain a certificate from Let's Encrypt and install it on your server.
sudo certbot --nginx -d meet.example.com
Restart Nginx to apply the changes.
sudo systemctl restart nginx
To access Jitsi Meet, open a web browser and enter the URL https://meet.example.com or your own domain name. If everything was installed correctly, you should see the Jitsi Meet login page where you can create or join a meeting.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Jitsi Meet on your Fedora Server Latest. You can now use this open-source video conferencing software to host meetings and video chats online.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
