Jitsi Meet Ansible Configuration

Sets up a simple Jitsi Meet server with a vanilla configuration. Uses letsencrypt for generating SSL certificates.

Usage

1. Check out this repository with submodules.

git clone https://github.com/unhangout/jitsi-server.git --recursive

2. Create / update the file vars/secrets.yml (which should be managed by ansible-vault) with the following variables:

• main_user_name: The main user account for provisioning the server. Recommended: "deploy"
• main_user_salt: Random salt for hte user.
• ansible_become_pass: The sudo password for main_user_name
• admin_email: Email address responsible for receiving server-generated email
• monitoring_server_ip: IP address for a nagios monitoring server
• main_user_authorized_keys: SSH keys for the main user to authenticate with.
• letsencrypt_account_key: An account key to use with letsencrypt. Generate one with openssl genrsa 4096.
• jitsi_domain: The domain name to use for the jitsi meet server.
• jitsi_videobridge_component_secret: A random string (say, 64 chars)
• jitsi_jicofo_component_secret: Another random string
• jitsi_jicofo_user_password: Another random string

3. Map domain names to the server:

• Main domain name (jitsi_domain).
• Map each of the Subdomains to map as CNAME records to jitsi_domain (e.g. auth.jitsi.example.com):
  • auth.
  • jitsi-videobridge.
  • focus.
  • conference.

4. Once the domain names are all mapped correctly and DNS has propagated, provision the server with:

make firstrun

5. For subsequent runs:

make

or to just make the jitsi configuration:

make app
