Issue Installing Jitsi on Linux with Plesk Admin

[austin55]

Hi,

I have tried for a couple of days to install Jitsi Meet on a VPS Linux 18.04 server with Plesk web admin to no avail. It seems the issue has to do with Plesk support/compatibility with with this solution. It would be great if someone can assist me with installation directives on this or is Jitsi not compatible with Plesk?

Many thanks for your support.

Jitsi meet should be independent from Plesk. However, it will of course interfere with the web server and the ports. But I think this can be solved. You need to follow the guide on

Self-Hosting Guide - Manual installation | Jitsi Meet

We recommend following the quick-install document. The current document describes the steps that are needed to install a working deployment, but steps are easy to mess up, and the debian packages are more up-to-date, where this document is sometimes not updated to reflect latest changes.

jitsi.github.io

and carefully edit the web server configuration files of Plesk so that the Jitsi traffic is sorted out of other traffic.

Personally, I don't get why anyone would want to install that on a Plesk server and go through that ordeal. Why not simply have a server instance for Jitsi Meet only? It's not meant to run as a normal website anyway. Where could Plesk come in when you want to manage Jitsi Meet? These are simply two totally different systems with totally different needs.

Hello,
after following the tutorial and making sure that Jitsi is up and running, I have the problem that directory configuration in Plesk is wrong.
It points to an empty folder.
If I try to type in the Jitsi folder, I get an error message (see screenshot).
What do I habe to do to let the domain point to the correct Jitsi Meet folder?

Using

Plesk Obsidian 18.0.66 Update #2
Web Host Edition​

Thank you.
