# Jitsi Meet in Glesys Cloud ­– this is how it's set up

***

Jitsi Meet is an open‑source video‑conferencing solution—completely free and easy to use. Some advantages of the service:

* Runs video calls directly in the browser (Chrome offers the best performance) on your computer. Apps are also available for iPhone and Android.
* Requires no account or login.
* Provides a fully encrypted solution.

## VPS platform and operating system

A VPS on the new KVM platform is set up with the latest Ubuntu LTS.

The server receives the following specifications: 2 × vCPU, 2 GB RAM, and 10 GB storage.

## Jitsi Meet and Docker

Jitsi Meet is deployed as a Docker container using Docker Compose.

You can find the configuration that is used on the server in the directory `/root/docker-jitsi-meet/.env`

To modify the configuration file, run the following commands:

{% code title="Commands" %}

```
sudo -i
cd /root/docker-jitsi-meet/
nano .env
```

{% endcode %}

Then, restart the service:

{% code title="Command" %}

```
docker-compose up -d
```

{% endcode %}

## Firewall

A firewall is automatically configured and set up by Glesys in Ubuntu (UFW). SSH and the ports used by Jitsi Meet are allowed:

* SSH (TCP)
* HTTP (TCP)
* HTTPS (TCP)
* 10000:20000 (UDP) – these ports are used by Jitsi

## Fail2ban

Fail2ban is installed and configured by Glesys.

Fail2ban is a smart tool that monitors log files for various services to detect brute‑force attacks and vulnerabilities. For example, if too many login attempts are made from a single IP address, that address is automatically blacklisted in the firewall.

## Unattended upgrades

Unattended Upgrades is enabled by default in our Ubuntu template, and it is the same here. The scheduler `unattended-upgrades` is configured to install updated packages and security updates automatically.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.glesys.com/products/compute/one-click-installers/details/jitsi-meet-in-glesys-cloud-this-is-how-its-set-up.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
