Is there a tutorial on how to do this on a cloud server？

# Setting up Octo (cascaded bridges)

## Jitsi Videobridge
Add these properties to `/etc/jitsi/videobridge/sip-communicator.properties` to
enable support for Octo:
```
org.jitsi.videobridge.octo.BIND_ADDRESS=10.0.0.1 # the address to bind to locally
org.jitsi.videobridge.octo.PUBLIC_ADDRESS=1.2.3.4 # the address to advertise (in case BIND_ADDRESS is not accessible)
org.jitsi.videobridge.octo.BIND_PORT=4096 # the port to bind to
org.jitsi.videobridge.REGION=region1 # the region that the jitsi-videbridge instance is in
```

You need to make sure that all of the bridges can communicate via the socket
addresses described in the properties above, and that the network is secure.

## Jicofo configuration
To enable the use of Octo in jicofo, you need to set the "selection strategy" by
setting this property in `/etc/jitsi/jicofo/sip-communicator.properties`:
```
org.jitsi.jicofo.BridgeSelector.BRIDGE_SELECTION_STRATEGY=RegionBasedBridgeSelectionStrategy

@damencho what is the BIND_ADDRESS? is it the local IP? in my digitalocean instance i have no local IP only public IP
How to configure it then?

@Tanvir I have a Digital Ocean instances for tests and I am using LOCAL_ADDRESS and BIND_ADDRESS with the same Public IP.

However, you have a local IP and a Public IP on each droplet.

It says BIND_ADDRESS=10.0.0.1 # the address to bind to locally so if you have only one address it is that address.

So what’s that address
