Unable to find an available Jibri, can't start

Setup the Jitsi-meet and Jibri on two separate server following the instruction as per below documents

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

# Jitsi Meet quick install

This document describes the required steps for a quick Jitsi Meet installation on a Debian based GNU/Linux system. Debian 8 (Jessie) or later, and Ubuntu 14.04 or later are supported out-of-the-box.

Debian Wheezy and other older systems may require additional things to be done. Specifically for Wheezy, [libc needs to be updated](http://lists.jitsi.org/pipermail/users/2015-September/010064.html).

Also note that a recent default Ubuntu installation has only the `main` repository enabled, and Jitsi Meet needs packages from `universe`. Check your `/etc/apt/sources.list` file, and if `universe` is not present refer to [Ubuntu's documentation](https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu) on how to enable it. (Usually it amounts to copying the `main` lines and changing to `universe`.)

N.B.: 

a.) All commands are supposed to be run by root. If you are logged in as a regular user with sudo rights, please prepend ___sudo___ to each of the commands.

b.) You only need to do this if you want to ___host your own Jitsi server___. If you just want to have a video conference with someone, use https://meet.jit.si instead.

## Basic Jitsi Meet install

### Add the repository
```sh
echo 'deb https://download.jitsi.org stable/' >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jitsi-stable.list
wget -qO -  https://download.jitsi.org/jitsi-key.gpg.key | apt-key add -

Hm, that Jibri log doesn’t actually appear to be a Jibri log, it’s a capture of some bash output? Also, jibri.log.0.txt will be the most recent one.

It’s pretty much laid out there, it’s an xmpp auth exception. You might try setting always_trust_certs in the config to see if that fixes it (though you may not want that long term). But otherwise you should be able to google that error and get it sorted, it’s not really a Jibri-specific thing.

@bbaldino plz can you let me know in which config i suppose to put it?

bbaldino · July 12, 2019, 10:04pm

There is an always_trust_certs field you can set to true inside the xmpp environment config. https://github.com/jitsi/jibri/blob/master/src/main/kotlin/org/jitsi/jibri/config/JibriConfig.kt#L92
