The easiest way to set up own Jitsi meet server is containerization (see Jitsi in docker).
When you would like to change logo watermark you can use this method. It will work only in this instance of docker. You can stop / start container, but when you destroy it (i.e.: docker-compose down) the changes will gone.
Copy new file (original dimensions are 612x272) to your docker server and place in directory:
~/.jitsi-meet-cfg/web/
check id / name of your web container, i.e.:
[docker@docker jitsi-meet]# docker-compose ps
Name Command State Ports
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
jitsi-meet_jicofo_1 /init Up
jitsi-meet_jvb_1 /init Up 0.0.0.0:10000->10000/udp, 0.0.0.0:4443->4443/tcp
jitsi-meet_prosody_1 /init Up 5222/tcp, 5269/tcp, 5280/tcp, 5347/tcp
jitsi-meet_web_1 /init Up 0.0.0.0:8443->443/tcp, 0.0.0.0:8000->80/tcpas you can see in my case it is the jitsi-meet_web_1.
Execute bash inside container:
docker exec -it jitsi-meet_web_1 /bin/bash
replace original watermark
cd /usr/share/jitsi-meet/images/ mv watermark.png watermark.png-old cp /config/new-logo.png watermark.png
it's not necessary, but I've saved Jitsi watermark as watermark.png-old.
That's all.
You can also check ~/.jitsi-meet-cfg/web/interface_config.js file for other parameters.
Nowadays everybody use some conferencing systems. If you would like to have your own, on controlled infrastructure, maybe only in LAN/VPN environment you can try Jitsi.
The "demo" installation in CentOS 7 based on docker containers is quite simple.
Install docker and docker-compose
If you already have docker installed skip this step. You can also read Docker in CentOS 7 in 5 steps.
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com/ | sh systemctl start docker systemctl enable docker curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/\ 1.23.1/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" \ -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Prepare environment
Install GIT
yum install git
Download docker files
git clone https://github.com/jitsi/docker-jitsi-meet && cd docker-jitsi-meet
Prepare directories
mkdir -p ~/.jitsi-meet-cfg/{web/letsencrypt,transcripts,prosody,jicofo,jvb}
cp env.example .env
Needed modifications
If you want to use it in LAN/separated network you have to change
DOCKER_HOST_ADDRESS=192.168.1.89 JVB_STUN_SERVERS=
in .env file. Of course DOCKER_HOST_ADDRESS will be YOUR docker IP address.
If you not set JVB_STUN_SERVERS to null value you won't be able to join the conference. You can change it later in
~/.jitsi-meet-cfg/jvb/sip-communicator.properties file.
Configure firewall
cat <<EOF > /etc/firewalld/services/jitsi.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <service> <short>Jitsi</short> <description>Multi-platform open-source video conferencing system</description> <port protocol="tcp" port="8000"/> <port protocol="tcp" port="8443"/> <port protocol="tcp" port="4443"/> <port protocol="udp" port="10000"/> </service> EOF firewall-cmd --reload firewall-cmd --add-service jitsi firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service jitsi
Start all
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f etherpad.yml up -d
As you can see I've also added etherpad - for document sharing.
