Jitsi Meet

Jitsi Meet is available in the NetActuate Marketplace as a one-click, open-source appliance you can deploy into any NetActuate PoP. Secure self-hosted video conferencing: your own Jitsi Meet, no accounts. It is grouped under the Media & Streaming category.

What It Does​

Jitsi Meet is a fully open source, secure video conferencing platform. This appliance packages the official docker-jitsi-meet deployment (jitsi/web, jitsi/prosody, jitsi/jicofo and jitsi/jvb) as a single NetActuate VM, brought up from the official Jitsi docker-compose at first boot. Deploy it in any NetActuate PoP and you have a private, self-hosted meetings backend minutes after first boot, with no per-minute SaaS fees and full control of your media.

Key features

  • Multiparty video calls, screen sharing, chat, reactions, raise hand and breakout rooms
  • The Jitsi Meet web app served out of the box over TLS with a self-signed certificate
  • Jitsi Videobridge (JVB) WebRTC SFU media routing on 10000/udp, advertised at the instance public IP
  • No accounts and no license key: anonymous rooms work immediately; optional authentication is one env flag away
  • Every internal inter-service password is generated on the instance at first boot and never leaves the VM
  • Bring your own domain and a browser-trusted certificate via the built in Let's Encrypt support (deploy-time follow-up)

Free and open source Jitsi Meet is released under the Apache License 2.0. There is no license to buy and no usage metering: run as many rooms and participants as your instance size supports.

Why run it on the NetActuate edge Run your own private meetings backend close to your users across NetActuate's global footprint. NetActuate operates the VM and network; the Jitsi community and 8x8 provide the platform software.

Jitsi and Jitsi Meet are products of the Jitsi community and 8x8, Inc. NetActuate packages and distributes the official, unmodified Jitsi Meet container images and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Jitsi project.

HTTPS portNo443TLS port the Jitsi Meet web app is exposed on (default 443). This is the management port.
HTTP portNo80HTTP port (redirects to HTTPS) (default 80).

Using the Appliance​

Jitsi Meet is up. Open https://YOUR_VM_IP/ in a browser, type any room name and share the link to start a call. The appliance ships a self-signed TLS certificate for the instance IP, so your browser will warn on first visit. All internal service passwords are generated on the instance and never leave it; there is no admin login to configure out of the box (anonymous rooms). Video media runs on 10000/udp advertised at the instance public IP. For a browser-trusted certificate and a friendly name, point a DNS record at the instance and set ENABLE_LETSENCRYPT=1 with LETSENCRYPT_DOMAIN and LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL in /opt/jitsi/.env, then run: cd /opt/jitsi && docker compose up -d . To require a login before creating rooms, see ENABLE_AUTH in the Jitsi handbook.

FAQ​

Is there a software license fee? No. Jitsi Meet is open source and free to run. You pay only for the NetActuate infrastructure and bandwidth.

Which port does the appliance serve on? The primary service is published on port 443 by default; see the configuration fields for any adjustable ports.

Who supports it? NetActuate operates the underlying infrastructure. The application itself is community-supported open source (best-effort SLA class).
