Jitsi with Podman 2.2.1

README.md

Jitsi with Podman 2.2.1

Tested on Fedora 33

Requires podman 2.2.1, caddy 2.2.1

Finally worked thanks to containers/podman#6965

Initial work from http://tendie.haus/how-to-setup-a-basic-jitsi-instance-with-podman/

Configuration

1. set random passwords

2. edit PUBLIC_URL value

Remember to start the caddy reverse proxy to get a valid TLS certificate.

caddy.sh

#!/bin/bash

#
# Run as root
#
nohup caddy reverse-proxy -from https://jitsi.example.com -to http://127.0.0.1:2086 &>>caddy.log &

jitsi.env

# shellcheck disable=SC2034

# Security
#
# Set these to strong passwords to avoid intruders from impersonating a service account
# The service(s) won't start unless these are specified
# Running ./gen-passwords.sh will update .env with strong passwords
# You may skip the Jigasi and Jibri passwords if you are not using those
# DO NOT reuse passwords
#

# XMPP component password for Jicofo
JICOFO_COMPONENT_SECRET=secret1

# XMPP password for Jicofo client connections
JICOFO_AUTH_PASSWORD=secret2

# XMPP password for JVB client connections

I was the one that wrote the article on tendie.haus and I am extremely happy it helped you. I like that you combined everything into an environment file. Will definitely be deploying this on my stack.
