| + | / | ||
| </ | </ | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Configure ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Finally, we need to make some configuration file changes. Again, replace jitsi.example.com with your server name. In the code below, a minus sign means "find and remove this line" and a plus sign means "add this line". | ||

| + | ===== Quick Notes ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Uninstall ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Note: most of the time you do not need to remove prosody, so I put that on a separate line. If you do remove prosody, be sure to back up / | ||
| + | <code bash> | ||
| + | apt purge jigasi jitsi-meet jitsi-meet-web-config jitsi-meet-prosody jitsi-meet-turnserver jitsi-meet-web jicofo jitsi-videobridge2 | ||
| + | apt purge prosody # only if you really, really need to | ||
| + | apt autoremove | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Can't create an XMPP room ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | By default, jitsi does not allow you to create new rooms in when you are using it for straight XMPP. In this case, edit the file **/ | ||
| + | - Find line similar to //Component " | ||
| + | - find line under that // | ||
| + | - change ' | ||
| + | - restart everything | ||
