I recently installed Jitsi.
I’m using Ubuntu 18.04 and running only Jitsi.
My question is
Why should I use nginx or apache?
Since Jitsi is opening normally?
You might have intalled the legacy desktop client. Jitsi Meet is a server side component which has a web frontend, so yeah, you need a web server. We recommend nginx.
You have a choice of 3: If you do a new installation from scratch, you can opt to install
- NGINX (If the install process finds NGINX installed, it will recognize and install the NGINX relevant configuration)
- Apache2 (If the install process finds Apache2 installed, it will recognize and install the Apache2 relevant configuration)
- Nothing (If the install process finds nothing installed, it will recognize and install the onboard jetty webserver configuration)
Seems you ran into scenario 3…
This was removeed a few stable releases ago.
This means if I understand the documentation correctly:
- Jetty is no longer used
- If neither Nginx nor Apache are found, Nginx is installed by default!?
Yep, that’s correct.

I missed that, sorry! Good to know, thx!
Now I understand, because my VPS had neither Apache nor Nginx.
However it is working normally, so Jitsi installed Nginx alone?
Why doesn’t the nginx -v command work?
