Jitsi - Multi-platform open-source video conferencing
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.
