Jitsi Digital Ocean

Terraform recipe for running Jitsi on DigitalOcean.

Running

Clone this repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/41north/jitsi-do

Make sure you have installed Terraform on your system.

Rename terraform.tfvars.example to terraform.tfvars and fill the variables with your information. At least, you need to provide the following:

variable "do_token" {
  default     = ""
  description = "Digital Ocean API Key: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-create-a-digitalocean-space-and-api-key"
}
variable "domain" {
  default     = ""
  description = "Which domain is used by Jitsi."
}
variable "ssh_key_name" {
  default     = ""
  description = "Name of the SSH Digital Ocean keys to allow remote access to the droplet."
}

After everything is correctly filled, initialize terraform:

$ terraform init

And to review what is going to be created:

$ terraform plan

Once you’re happy just trigger the fire button:

$ terraform apply

By default it will auto-install jitsi but it won’t perform automatic SSL generation with Let’s Encrypt. The reason is to control manually when to perform that step:

$ ssh -i .ssh/${your_ssh_key} root@${your_droplet_ip}

And run the following (replace $EMAIL with your email):

$ echo $EMAIL | /usr/share/jitsi-meet/scripts/install-letsencrypt-cert.sh

If everything goes well and the certification is created correctly, you can navigate to your domain and be greeted with Jitsi’s dashboard!

Au revoir, Zoom! :)
