Does that mean that if the IP changes some time after the start of JVB, JVB won’t know this and simply stop working? Because I don’t start my VM (with the docker inside) all that often, but my public IP changes daily…
But that would explain why I thought that it worked as desired after I had completely reinstalled Jitsi. And two days later I found that it didn’t work anymore…
Yep, if ip changes it stops working, if you have configured auto-discovering of the public address you need to restart jvb on every IP change.
huh! Well that would seem to explain everything.
Gotta see how to deal with this. My initial idea is to control the time when the IP address changes and schedule a periodic restart of the JVB container right after that. Let’s see if that works. I’ll report back.
Thanks for your help!
Still no joy: I restartet JVB manually but again it didn’t work (no audio/video).
In the JVB log, I think, I can see that the public IP address was discovered correctly (I anonymized it here along with my domain). But it still does not work. What else might be wrong here?

This is you opening 3 tabs in the browser and it doesn’t work?
Sorry, I was just about to update my post but you responded too quickly 
I tried it again and on the second attempt it did work.
(Not sure what you mean with the 3 tabs in the browser - I had opened meet in one tab on my PC and once in the Jitsi app on my phone).
You open it 3 tabs in the browser on the PC to be sure its using jvb
While I am still struggling of controlling the time of the IP change, I wanted to confirm that restarting JVB and triggering the discovery of the public IP is the solution.
Thanks a lot for your help!
Good to hear!
