Hello all, I tried same with docker swarm and I’m able to scale it to 3 replicas and it worked. But I’m having some issue when scaling prosody and jicofo. Scaling isn’t working on both. I scaled both of them to 2 replicas but If i killed previous running prosody or jifoco container then it stopped the meeting. If anyone knows any work around then please do share.
Thanks
Why are you trying to scale prosody and jicofo ? you can deploy multiple videobridge and connect them to the same prosody/jicofo server
Because I thought that if something went wrong with current prosody and jicofo instances and they can switch to other replicated instance but it seems that it is not possible. Also If a single instance get killed then swarm will take care by itself. So, just replicating JVB is better approach.
I have couple of queries:
If I want to use my own domain then Do I have to make some changes to the config files or just changing the .env file variables is fine.
How can I change the Jisti logo(logo during video call) by custom logo.
you can connect a video bridge to multiple prosody instances, you will need to modify your jvb sip config file

I am sure you could re-write it in a way that it is a “for loop”. thats my next step.
Hey - I managed it finaly to add an extra server with videobridge2 to my “Quick Install”. Does it do a load balance even in one big room with more than 20 users or is the second jvb only for more rooms?
I don’t find any informations about this :-/
Regards and stay healthy!
can you share how you did that, I have docker environment,
Thank u for the tutorial, i want to deploy an extra JVB in the same server, and I have try to add jvb2 in docker-compose.yml and modify the JVB_AUTH_USER with JVB2, but im got an error that the JVB_PORT is already in use, do you know how to solve this problem ?
thank u
use another port like 10001
@creativeguitar Have to tried replicas thing for scaling jvb?
I tried it with docker-swarm. I replicated jvb to 2(containers), running on different machines then I tried killing one of the jvb container during a meeting and everything went fine. But I’m not sure if it also doing the load balancing thing.
Is creating a two jvb’s also ensures that the load(users) of a single conference is equally distributed to both the jvb’s?
If yes then Is there any logs that i can check to determine whether replicating jvb to 2 also does load balancing thing.
hello, i have done create extra videobridge in same machine, the jvb2 already connected and encrypted (i saw at logs of prosody). here logs of prosody

do you know how the 2nd jvb (with c2s5594e94bf450) cannot authenticated ? i already register jvb2@mydomain in the prosodyctl –
thank you 
it looks like you are having network issues. Try spinning up the second jvb and see if you can reach (ping) prosody. if not, fix that issue and try again.
i have change the docker-compose.yml with remove the XMPP_DOMAIN at services jvb2 (as default format in environtmen), but im still got this SEVERE…
is it still about network issues ?
it looks like now you are getting an authentication error. how does prosody’s logs look like ?
do you see this block of logs every time you restart your jvb2 ?

I ask myself the same question, I deployed jitsi on kubernetes with multiple videeobridges instances. After multiple tests, I think the load balancing is done on the conference and not on the number of users.
So the answer is Octo. I asked same question in last jitsi meeting and they said that it’s not gonna load balance same conference. To do the load balancing of same conference, we have to use Octo.
I tried it too in my local environment and as well as in the cloud. I have deployed 2 JVB’s running on separate VM’s and both the VM’s are in same region lets say Singapore but in the JVB logs I’m getting INFO: Octo relay is disabled and in the UI, server count is 1.
Can you please share the steps? I’m following this link: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-videobridge/blob/master/doc/octo.md
In my case it is not showing Server count:2 .
Hi @creativeguitar,
I’ve already tried to follow your guide above to add extra jvb for docker meet on a different server, with the following steps:
version: ‘3’
services:
# Video bridge
jvb:
image: jitsi/jvb:latest
restart: {RESTART_POLICY}
ports:
- '{JVB_PORT}:{JVB_PORT}/udp'

environment:

- XMPP_INTERNAL_MUC_DOMAIN
- XMPP_SERVER
- JVB_AUTH_USER
- JVB_AUTH_PASSWORD
- JVB_BREWERY_MUC
- JVB_PORT
- JVB_TCP_HARVESTER_DISABLED
- JVB_TCP_PORT
- JVB_STUN_SERVERS
- JVB_ENABLE_APIS
- TZ
# depends_on:
# - prosody
networks:
meet.jitsi:
# Custom network so all services can communicate using a FQDN
networks:
meet.jitsi:
Change the JVB_AUTH_PASSWORD (following the value in docker-jitsi-meet main server)
Change the HTTP_PORT=80 and HTTPS_PORT=443 (following the value in docker-jitsi-meet main server)
change the PUBLIC_URL=https://mydomain.org (following the value in docker-jitsi-meet main server)
Change the variable name in the .env file:
JVB_AUTH_USER=jvb2
prosodyctl --config $PROSODY_CFG register JVB2 $XMPP_AUTH_DOMAIN $JVB_AUTH_PASSWORD
# XMPP server
prosody:
image: jitsi/prosody:latest
restart: ${RESTART_POLICY}
expose:
- '5222'
- '5347'
- '5280'

volumes:

- ${CONFIG}/prosody/prosody-plugins-custom:/prosody-plugins-custom:Z
But the jvb failed to connect to main server, here is the log at docker-jvb server:

Is there any additional settings that i need to add in both server (docker-jitsi-meet and docker-jvb)?
Thanks
