Tutorial on how to setup Jitsi meet from AWS marketplace using the Jitsi meet auto deployment scripts for AWS by Meetrix

The following tutorial will guide you to setup 100-500 user single region Meetrix Jitsi AWS script products from the AWS marketplace.

First you will need to goto the related AWS marketplace product description page. Make sure you are logged into your AWS account as well.

1. Press Continue to Subscribe button.

   

2. Then you can check the pricing information for the listed software components in the table below.

   • meet instance.
   • jvb instance.
   • jibri instance (if available)

   Click the Continue to configuration button at the top right to set the jitsi meet configuration.

   

3. Then choose a fulfilment option and software version, press the Continue to Launch button to launch the setup process.

   

4. Choose Launch CloudFormation in Choose Action section and click the bottom Launch button.

   

5. Now, the first step of the stack creation appears. Be sure not to change anything and click next.

   

   In the second step of stack creation, Define the stack name as you wish and add a range of usable IP addresses for SSH to EC2 instances at sshLocation (ex : 0.0.0.0/0). It is always better to add the IP of your terminal machine for safety because if you add 0.0.0.0/0 it allows anyone on the internet to connect to your instances. Use the following format for best outcomes. Please set CIDR to x.x.x.x/32 to allow one specific IP address access, or another CIDR range.

   Change all the secrets and jibri s3 bucket details Keep your secrets safe (these are passwords you can add as you wish) because you will need them later for configurations. The S3 bucket should be created in the same account before running the scripts, and then add that bucket name to the JibriS3Bucket parameter below. Then press Next.

   

   

   Then click the Next button in the bottom right without changing anything in step 3 inside the "Create stack" setup wizard.

   

   

   In the final step of creating a stack, put a tick in the capabilities section at bottom and click create stack.

   

6. Now the setup of the Jitsi Meet stack is complete. You have to wait until the instances in the AWS region are created.

   

   To test the system, you can get the IP of the Jitsi meet instance and point your domain to this IP address.

   You can then login to the Jitsi video conference and set it up.
