What's installed on your Jitsi Meet server?
- Jitsi Meet from the official docker-jitsi-meet package, stable-11248-3: web, Prosody, Jicofo and the video bridge (JVB)
- Login required to open a room, guests join by link; a ready admin account named yonetici
- Interface language set to Turkish
- HTTPS through Caddy on an sslip.io address based on your IP, which browsers need for camera and microphone
- Port 10000/UDP open for video and audio
- Firewall with only 22, 80, 443 and 10000/UDP open
What size do you need for Jitsi Meet?
Jitsi's official docs generally suggest 8 GB of RAM, and say 4 GB is enough for small meetings and 2 GB for tests or very small meetings. 20 GB of disk is enough. The real limit is processor and bandwidth, not participant count. There is no fixed number of participants. For big meetings the docs suggest a scalable setup rather than one huge server. If it isn't enough, scale RAM and CPU up from your panel, and your IP address stays the same.
| Use | Size | Price | Choose |
|---|---|---|---|
| A few people | 4 GB RAM · 2 vCore · 60 GB NVMe | $6.89/mo | |
| Small team | 8 GB RAM · 4 vCore · 120 GB NVMe | $13.62/mo | |
| Company | 16 GB RAM · 8 vCore · 200 GB NVMe | $25.15/mo |
Who is it for?
- Teams that want to hold meetings without depending on another service
- Businesses that want a meeting room on their own address for client calls
- Communities such as schools, courses or associations
- Anyone who wants meeting data to stay on their own server
What happens after you order?
- Set the size and complete your payment.
- Your server starts and Jitsi Meet installs itself. This took about 9 minutes in our real-server tests.
- In your panel, open your server from My servers and click Open app on the Overview tab.
- Type a room name. When the login window appears, enter the details from the Login and Password rows.
- Send the room link to your participants. They join with the link without logging in.
With every server
- Daily backups included in the price
- Unlimited traffic
- Full root access
- Scale RAM and CPU up or down later, and grow the disk
- Location: Istanbul · IST-1.
Good to know
- Only the logged-in account starts a room. To let other people open rooms, connect with SSH and add accounts with the prosodyctl command.
- Recording (Jibri) and phone dial-in (Jigasi) are not installed. According to Jitsi's docs, recording needs far more RAM than the meeting itself.
- Video and audio flow over UDP port 10000. People joining from a network that blocks UDP may get no video, and this setup has no TCP fallback.
- If no certificate can be issued, the site opens over http and browsers won't allow the camera or microphone. In that case, connect your own domain.
- The Jitsi Meet version is pinned at install. Updates are your responsibility.
- Log in to Jitsi Meet with the Login row and the Password row next to it. The Username row further down, and its password, are for SSH.
Jitsi Meet questions and answers
How much RAM does Jitsi Meet need?
Jitsi's official docs generally suggest 8 GB, and say 4 GB is enough for small meetings and 2 GB for tests. Processor and bandwidth mostly set the limit. If it isn't enough, you scale up from your panel.
How many people can join a Jitsi Meet meeting?
There is no fixed number; it depends on the server's processor and bandwidth. Jitsi's docs suggest a scalable setup for big meetings rather than one bigger server. Try a small test before a busy meeting.
Do guests have to log in to Jitsi Meet?
No. Only the logged-in account starts a room, and guests join with the room link without an account. This doesn't turn your server into a service where anyone can open rooms.
How do I add a user to Jitsi Meet?
Connect with SSH and, in /opt/seturack/jitsi, run docker compose exec prosody prosodyctl --config /run/prosody/config/prosody.cfg.lua shell user create [email protected] password. The new account can open rooms.
Does Jitsi Meet record meetings?
Not in this setup. Jitsi records with a separate component called Jibri, which needs far more RAM according to its docs. Jibri isn't installed on this server.
Why won't the camera and microphone start in Jitsi Meet?
Browsers only allow the camera and microphone on https addresses. If no certificate could be issued and the site opened over http, connect your own domain. After that, also change Jitsi's PUBLIC_URL setting to the new address.
