Hi,
I follow the steps in this link to run the jitsi-meet web application :

and it works succussfully
also i follow this link to run the jitsi-meet mobile app:

jitsi/jitsi-meet/blob/master/doc/mobile.md

# Jitsi Meet apps for Android and iOS

Jitsi Meet can be built as a standalone app for Android or iOS. It uses the
[React Native] framework.

**If you want to rebuild the SDK yourself look in [Android README] or [iOS README].**

First make sure the [React Native dependencies] are installed.

**NOTE**: This document assumes the app is being built on a macOS system.
**NOTE**: Node 10.X and npm 6.X are recommended for building.


## iOS

1. Install some extra dependencies

  - Install ios-deploy globally (in case you want to use the React Native CLI
    to deploy the app to the device)

and it works succussfully on device .

Now i want to change the default server domain in order to use my own jitsi server for both web and mobile app ,
I try changing the domain in the projects file config.js but it doesn’t work?

So how can i change to my own server ?any idea please ? thanks

You can use even the play/app store version with your server. There is a setting for that. Or you can just type the whole URL https://example.com/roomname for room, this will also work.

First, thanks for the reply

i wanna know if i can change the server :" meet.jit.si" in jitsi-meet git repository to my own server ?
if yes , what are the steps should i follow
Thanks

Yes you can, search in the code for that string.
Build the mobile app, read the docs that are provided for the OS you want to build it for.

What could be the reason my own server/url doesn’t work with the iPhone app changing the base url from the settings nor passing the full https url from the meeting room input.

The server is ser with the secure layer explained in the repo, in case could be useful to understand the reasons. Also works as expected using the Android App.
Thanks in advance,

I get same error on Android. Passing full url does not work and same with setting server base url. Keep showing the prompt that “You have been disconnected and asking to rejoin.” Actually it never established the connection with server.

Sounds like you need to open ports. 80 443 10000

toufou54 · April 17, 2020, 8:33pm

Same issue for me too …
Didi you find why ?

albeethekid · April 18, 2020, 4:27am

I ran into this issue today. Turns out you need a valid SSL cert to have the android/ios client use your server

shivad · April 21, 2020, 10:11am

thanks…can you please share details steps. configured on sever and updated hostname in activity page. however what else we need it would be great help if you can share the details. will follow them

thanks in advance

Not sure if this will be much help, but I followed the steps here:

github.com

jitsi/jitsi-meet/blob/master/doc/quick-install.md

# Jitsi Meet quick install

This guide helps you  ___host your own Jitsi server___. If you want to have a video conference without setting up any infrastructure, use https://meet.jit.si instead.

This document describes the required steps for a quick Jitsi Meet installation on a Debian based GNU/Linux system. Debian 9 (Stretch) or later, and Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic Beaver) or later are supported out-of-the-box.

On Ubuntu systems, Jitsi requires dependencies from Ubuntu's `universe` package repository.  To ensure this is enabled, run `apt-add-repository universe` at the command-line.

_Note_: Many of the installation steps require elevated privileges. If you are logged in using a regular user account, you may need to temporarily increase your permissions (for example, by using `sudo` for individual commands).

## Basic Jitsi Meet install

### Set up the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) (optional)

If the machine used to host the Jitsi Meet instance has a FQDN (for example `meet.example.org`) already set up in DNS, `/etc/hostname` must contain this FQDN; if this is not the case yet, [change the hostname](https://wiki.debian.org/HowTo/ChangeHostname).

Then add the same FQDN in the `/etc/hosts` file, associating it with the loopback address:

    127.0.0.1 localhost meet.example.org

Specifically, it was this command to get the cert going:
/usr/share/jitsi-meet/scripts/install-letsencrypt-cert.sh

I followed exactly these steps: .
and it worked out well for me

Create Instacia EC2
Generate an Elastic IP
Add DNS to your domain.
When you generate the certificate, you add the domain to it.

Sorry about my English.

Hi All,

If i check jitsi meet documentation for developer, i don’t see any installation step for mobile/react native in this doc Developer Guide (Mobile) · Jitsi Meet Handbook. Is it miss? or for mobile/react native, it has new documentation path/domain? please answer

Freddie · March 3, 2021, 4:25am

@rusli_Abdul_gani Welcome to the forum.

The information is right there on the page you linked. You’ll need some familiarity with react native, installing the necessary dependencies e.t.c… But the info that you need to compile the mobile app is there in the Developer Guide.

rusli_Abdul_gani · March 3, 2021, 4:38am

yeah i see there are some step, but it’s step for react native itself instal and init project… where is step for such like “npm install save jitsi-meet” or “yarn add jitsi-meet” or i don’t know the step for jitsi meet react native itself no one step occur in there. or you can explain how to do it (react native jitsi meet installation)?

example for IOS:
i see there “pod install” but what pod already add there? jitsi meet? why it’s directly to pod install? before pod install you need to install package first right? such as sample “npm install jitsi-meet” or something. i don’t see there.

why first step is npm install? is there any existing repo? how can i do jitsi meet for react native but i want to develop RN project by myself and i just wanna add jitsi meet in my project? is it possible??
