Is there any way I can use Jitsi with LetsEncrypt on Ubuntu with the Android client?

Posted on April 20, 2021

I have installed Jitsi on Ubuntu 20.04 with Let’s Encrypt and it is working fine when I connect with my PC using a browser. But on Android the use of the client app is mandatory. Even if I fill in the right server in the setting it is not able to connect to my server. I have read that there is a problem with the certificate when using the Android app. Is there any way around without having to distribute the certificate? I want to organize meetings with non-technical public users.

Heya,

Just came across this answer and decided to write some general guidelines for anyone who comes across this in the future despite the old question.

Looking into this Jitsi community recommends checking a few things:

  1. Certificates: Ensure that Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates have been correctly installed and that all relevant ports are open on your droplet.
  2. Ports: Ports 80, 443, 4443, 10000-20000 should be open.
  3. NAT configuration: If your Jitsi server is behind a NAT, you need to ensure that the NAT is properly configured.

For any changes in the configuration, make sure to restart Jitsi services using systemctl restart jicofo jitsi-videobridge2 prosody to apply those changes.

Please note that the procedure can vary based on the configurations and settings of your server. You might find this DigitalOcean document on Configuring a Firewall useful.

Hope that this helps!
