First-time install not working at all, all steps completed

Hello everyone,

I completed the installation of Jitsi-Meet with no errors, or should I say I don’t see the errors (see logs below):

However, when I try to access the site at jitsi.MYSITE(dot)com, Jitsi does not load at all. I get the following error:
“This site can’t be reached:
jitsi.MYSITE(dot)com took too long to respond.
Try:
Checking the connection
Checking the proxy and the firewall
Running Windows Network Diagnostics
ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT”

However, NGINX is active and running with no errors and responds when you access it with the IP address.

I did successfully installed the LetsEncrypt certificates using the following script:
sudo /usr/share/jitsi-meet/scripts/install-letsencrypt-cert.sh

I apologize for the long post, I just wanted to make sure you had as much information about the problem to make sense of the situation.

I will appreciate any help to get this problem solved.

Please note: I am not a developer but can follow any instructions you give me very well.

Thanks

Jitsi installed on AWS Lightsail
OS: Unbuntu 20.04
Server: NGINX/1.18.0 (Ubuntu)
All up-to-date

This problem has been solved. Thanks.

If you are hosting Jitsi-Meet on AWS Lighsail, the firewall settings of your instance take precedence over any firewall rules you set using UFW as described in the Jitsi implementation guide.

In my case, even though I had the standard recommended UFW firewall settings in the Jitsi installation guide, I did not enable the same settings in my AWS Lightsail settings.

I hope this helps someone.

Thanks for posting your solution.
Just a side note to all who may be reading this and are on different cloud platforms - all cloud-level firewall rules, security groups, etc. take precedence over the local firewall inside the instance. You can think of it as router on top of your internal network (well, sort of).
