Same Jitsi-Meet instance with multiple domain names

hkhait · March 27, 2019, 2:52pm

Hello all,

I would like to use one Jitsi-Meet instance but with multiple domain names. For instance, jitsi.internal.local for internal users and jitsi.mydomain.com for external users. I want both users to communicate with each other, is that possible ? or Jitsi works with only one domain name ?

Thanks

All the domain names used are internal.
You basically want deployment accessible through different domains.
You just need to configure those domains in nginx and add the domain that is configured in config.js to be passed as a host on all bosh connection requests.
This way you can add a hundred domains in nginx and all will lead to the same deployment.

github.com

jitsi/jitsi-meet/blob/master/doc/debian/jitsi-meet/jitsi-meet.example#L46




    # Backward compatibility
    location ~ /external_api.* {
        root /usr/share/jitsi-meet/libs;
    }


    # BOSH
    location /http-bind {
        proxy_pass      http://localhost:5280/http-bind;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
    }
}

Instead of $http_host pass jitsi-meet.example.com - whatever is in config.js hosts.domain.
And change config.js for bosh to use the requested url (so it will support all urls):
bosh: '///http-bind'

Thank you @damencho

Hello,

sorry to warm up an old thread but is this still working for any of you? I tried to modify our config.js with the line given by @damencho but the code insertion is never parsed (what language is that even?). Error console instead reports about an unresolved name when trying to make sense out of the raw string:
https://%3C%21--/#%20echo%20var=%22http_host%22%20--%3E/%3C!--#%20echo%20var=%22subdir%22%20default=%22%22%20--%3Ehttp-bind?room=test

I found the multi domain examples on Github but I couldn’t make them work either.
Anything obvious I’m missing?

Thanks!

Check this thread… it has to do with ssi or SERVER_NAME

hkhait · March 25, 2020, 7:19pm

you have to enable server side include in your virtualhost config

damencho · March 25, 2020, 9:16pm

Also installing latest from unstable on a machine with no webserver installed or just nginx will enable multidomain setup.

scroogemcmoon · March 25, 2020, 9:52pm

Thanks for your answers, that definitely shed some light on it. It’s an nginx server, the installation is pretty vanilla, out of the debian packages. The virtual host created by the installer already enables ssi and even if I add it to every single location it isn’t working.

Nice to know that its preconfigured in future versions! It makes sense to share the service but people are picky about branding and familiar domain names unfortunately.

I had to add this to make it work. My earlier post had incorrect information

ssi_types *;

Another capeless hero! Thank you very much!

@scroogemcmoon

What did you do to get this working?

I’ve created a separate nginx config for my second domain.
As per @damencho the proxy_set_header Host has been changed to the host to match the host in the config.js file.
The config file has had the bosh line changed to bosh: '///http-bind'
As per user reset ssi is already on in the nginx confg as this is a pretty new install.

What this results in is both domains with a room on the end load a gray web page instead of the typically jitsi room. Any suggestions?

Check Javascript Console in the browser what errors do you see?

ssm3e30 · April 8, 2020, 11:00pm

@damencho I am an idiot and forgot the ‘,’ at the end of the new BOSH line. However with that now I have an issue with always being disconnected on domain2, domain1 is working normally. Screen shot with the javascript console attached.

damencho · April 8, 2020, 11:29pm

Yep you have 404 from bosh, it should look like: https://meet.jit.si/http-bind

Bheema_Vatti · April 10, 2020, 9:48am

Hi @damencho,
I have installed latest jitsi meet using apt install jitsi meet command. it working fine for single domain. I want to add multiple domain how to add or do that. can help me from were to start and file name if path provide very help full.

Thanks.

Bheema_Vatti · April 10, 2020, 10:39am

Hi @ssm3e30
I have also followed same and I have added ‘,’ everything looks good, I am getting same error did you resolved your that issue, if you resolved the issue please share me the how to fix that.
How about second domain ssl, I am getting ssl error.

Thanks .

Neil_Brown · April 10, 2020, 10:41am

You’ll need to get an SSL certificate for your second domain, and change your server config to use that certificate fo traffic coming to that second domain.

Bheema_Vatti · April 10, 2020, 10:44am

Thanks Neil_Brown. So I can use let’s encrypt to create the ssl for second domain but its sub domain only (ex first doamin 123.abc.com second domain 987.abc.com). I didnt got the second point change browser config, can you please let me know where to change.

Thanks again

Neil_Brown · April 10, 2020, 10:50am

Yes

You’ll need to duplicate your current domain’s server config, and create one for the new domain, replacing all the references in it to your old domain with references to your new domain. (But leave the bosh reference to your old domain, I think. I haven’t tried it myself.)

Bheema_Vatti · April 10, 2020, 10:55am

thanks for the quick reply, I have not replace my second domain name in which I copied from first doamin.
let me try that. but in jitsi meet installed let’s encrypt and script do you want me to use that script or certbot command.
