Jitsi Video Bridge is a powerful tool for building scalable video conferencing applications. It is a free, open-source video conferencing application that can be used for both personal and professional communication. In this tutorial, we will outline the steps to install Jitsi Video Bridge on a Fedora Server Latest.
To install Jitsi Video Bridge on a Fedora Server Latest, you will need:
The first step is to ensure that your Fedora Server Latest is up to date with the latest security patches and software updates. Run the following command to update your system.
sudo dnf update -y
Jitsi Video Bridge is a Java application, so we need to install Java 8 or higher. Run the following command to install Java 8 JDK.
sudo dnf install java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel -y
To install Jitsi Video Bridge on Fedora Server Latest, we need to add the Jitsi repository.
sudo curl https://download.jitsi.org/jitsi-key.gpg.key | sudo sh -c 'gpg --dearmor > /usr/share/keyrings/jitsi-keyring.gpg'
echo 'deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/jitsi-keyring.gpg] https://download.jitsi.org stable/' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jitsi-stable.list > /dev/null
sudo dnf update -y
After adding the repository, run the following command to install Jitsi Video Bridge.
sudo dnf install jitsi-videobridge2 -y
Once installed, start the Jitsi Video Bridge service using the following command.
sudo systemctl start jitsi-videobridge2.service
To ensure that the service starts automatically at boot time, run the following command.
sudo systemctl enable jitsi-videobridge2.service
By default, Jitsi Video Bridge is configured to use port 443 for secure communication. However, we need to open UDP ports 10000-20000 on the firewall to allow video traffic to pass through. To do this, run the following command.
sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=10000-20000/udp --permanent
Reload the firewall configuration to apply the changes.
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
That's it. You have successfully installed Jitsi Video Bridge on your Fedora Server Latest. You can now build your own video conferencing application or use Jitsi Video Bridge with existing applications to facilitate video conferencing.
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!
