Hi,
Anyone here managed to run Jitsi Meet on a CentOS 7 server ? As far as I can tell, it's one of the nicer open source videoconferencing solutions out there. I gave it a spin on https://suricate.tv and now I'd like to install it on one of my servers.
Unfortunately the Jitsi developers only provide documentation for Debian/Ubuntu. Well, there is some sort of guide for CentOS around. As far as I can tell, the purpose of this guide is to encourage CentOS users to switch to Debian/Ubuntu. :o)
Anyway, if you have a pointer to some comprehensible docs, I'd be grateful.
Cheers,
Niki

They have rpms:
https://download.jitsi.org/jitsi/rpm/
and also a scalable installation:
https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/blob/master/doc/scalable-installation.md
Which one do you need?

That's the Jitsi desktop application.

That's Debian-specific.
Which one do you need?
None.
I need a comprehensive documentation for installing Jitsi Meet on a server running CentOS 7, as stated in my initial post.

Well the answer you do not want to hear is that https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/blob/master/doc/manual-install.md is as close as you are likely to get.
But here is the good news - I am interested in helping.
Each time you run into a blocker - ask and I or someone else will earnestly investigate and hopefully mitigate it.
I will update docs, take merges from you, and try to get the upstream to accept a centos-install.md

It may help to read the following: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/issues/446
Is cent-os 8 a possibility?

I'm currently considering a Docker-based installation as an option. Probably much easier.

I am also interested in installing Jitsi server on CentOS 7, as well as running the desktop app on C7.

According to the Jitsi developers, you shouldn't even use that and prefer using a browser.
Though I'd take that information with a grain of salt, because the developer I talked to yesterday on IRC called my browser (Firefox 68.7.0 ESR) "hopelessly obsolete".
Have you ever tried to explain concepts like long term support and Enterprise Linux to a 20 year old Arch user ?
Here in France we call that "pissing in a violin". :o)

Hi Centos friends. I had some time to write a spartan tutorial on running the latest stable Jitsi Video Bridge and Jitsi Meet and Centos 7.7. I wrote it while testing it so this WORKS and I am currently using it for fun with the kids.
I do have the server currently running but blocked by my firewall. I am willing to allow a few of the people such a Kovacs and others to connect to my Jitsi server to test usability. But this is a 1CPU/2GBRAM VM in vultr.com so we cannot expect premium video quality and maybe no more than 10 people at the same time.
Do note that in order to provide access, I need an IP and will open the server to connect from that IP.
My Wordpress template is not the best so sorry for the formatting. I Will work on that tomorrow.
here is the tutorial https://www.nubeinterna.com/2020/05/03/centos-7-7-and-jitsi/
hope it helps.

Awesome will test it out. Was SE-Linux enabled? Default on Vultr is usually disabled? Do you have a pull request open in Jitsi Github for the installation manual (https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/blob/master/doc/manual-install.md)?
Benson, no SELINUX was not enabled. The instance was selected without it just to make things easier. I do not have a pull request for the installation manual yet.

I started looking at installing Jitsi on my hosted CentOS 7 server and have a few questions after reading your tutorial:
- Why are you disabling IPv6? Is this required?
- I already have Apache running, should I install nginx in addition to Apache?
- Where do I add the required Jitsi DNS entries?
Thank you.
Hi, see my answers below.

I do not need IPv6. It is not needed to disable it. I just wanted to make it simpler.
- I already have Apache running, should I install nginx in addition to
Apache? No. You can adapt the rules to apache.
- Where do I add the required Jitsi DNS entries?
in your domain dns provider such as GoDady, AWS, Azure,etc.
Thank you.
