Prerequisites

• This image assumes that you are using a reverse proxy such as jwilder/nginx-proxy and optionally the Let's Encrypt Proxy Companion @ https://github.com/JrCs/docker-letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion in order to serve your pages.

This is a complex series of images and relies on all packages to be working together. You will also need to open ports on your firewall (See below).

Installation

Automated builds of the image are available on Docker Hub and is the recommended method of installation.

docker pull tiredofit/jitsi-meet
docker pull tiredofit/jitsi-prosody
docker pull tiredofit/jitsi-videobridge
docker pull tiredofit/jitsi-jicofo

Quick Start

• The quickest way to get started is using docker-compose. See the examples folder for a working docker-compose.yml that can be modified for development or production use. All you will need to do is change the HOST and VIRTUAL_HOST,LETSENCRYPT_HOST variables and the system will automatically generate certificates for you and the system will function.

• Set various environment variables to understand the capabilities of this image.

• Map persistent storage for access to configuration and data files for backup.

Configuration

Data-Volumes

The following directories are used for configuration and can be mapped for persistent storage.

jitsi-prosody

jitsi-videobridge

jitsi-jicofo

Environment Variables

Below is the complete list of available options that can be used to customize your installation.

Networking

This set of images relies on network ports being exposed to the outside world. 80, 443 for the initial web proxy (which should already be handled by the jwilder/nginx-proxy image) and then you must open port 4443 and 10000-10100/udp to the outside world otherwise you will have issues with video or audio.

See below diagram:
