Getting Started



After you create your Jitsi server, Jitsi's dependencies and installation scripts will be preinstalled and ready for you to use.

A hostname (domain or subdomain) where you can create a DNS record pointing to your Server's IP address

You will need to connect to the Server via SSH to complete the setup.

apt-get install jitsi-meet -y


All the dependencies are already installed, the setup shall ask you to enter the domain for your server.

Next, choose the Generate a new self-signed certificate (You will later get a chance to obtain a Let's Encrypt certificate) option and hit Enter to finish the installation.
