Jitsi Video Bridge is a popular open-source WebRTC-compatible select forwarding unit that allows for multi-party video communication. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Jitsi Video Bridge on NetBSD.
Before proceeding with the installation of Jitsi Video Bridge, you must ensure that your NetBSD system meets the following prerequisites:
Firstly, we will need to verify if a valid version of JAVA is installed on the NetBSD system. You can check it by running the following command:
java -version
If the output shows that JAVA is not installed, then you can install it by running the following command:
pkg_add openjdk8
Next, we will download the Jitsi Video Bridge software package.
ftp https://download.jitsi.org/jitsi-videobridge/unstable/jitsi-videobridge-unstable-current.tar.gz
Note: You can download the latest stable version of Jitsi Video Bridge software from https://download.jitsi.org/jitsi-videobridge/stable/
On your NetBSD system, extract the downloaded package with the following command:
tar -zxvf jitsi-videobridge-unstable-current.tar.gz
After the extraction, navigate to the extracted directory using the command below:
cd jitsi-videobridge-VERSION
Then, run the following command to build Jitsi Video Bridge:
./mvnw clean package
Finally, to start the Jitsi Video Bridge, run the command:
java -jar target/jitsi-videobridge.jar --host=localhost --port=5347 --secret=YOURSECRET1
You have now successfully installed and launched Jitsi Video Bridge on NetBSD. Your Jitsi Video Bridge is now ready for multi-party video communication.
Note: Replace "YOURSECRET1" with your actual secret key.
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!
