jicofo

I followed the guide below but I'm not sure if that'll be helpful for you. https://github.com/jitsi/jicofo#secure-domain

I've done this recently - follow the vultr guide https://www.vultr.com/docs/how-to-install-jitsi-meet-on-ubun... then the jitsi docs to secure your meetings as required https://github.com/jitsi/jicofo#secure-domain . Then you can use basic Auth in nginx https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/security-controls/c... to secure the site.

Yes, I installed Jitsi Meet over the weekend and enabled auth so you need credentials to start a new conference, but anyone with the link (and optionally password too) can join unauthenticated. I followed these instructions to add the auth https://github.com/jitsi/jicofo#secure-domain

I also set up jitsi, in my case on an ubuntu server 18.04 VM on my desktop [0]. Took about 10 minutes as well to follow that guide. In addition, I wanted to expose jitsi to the internet but not allow random people to create or join rooms. I basically followed the first part of this[1], which sets up username/password pair that you're prompted for each time you create/join a room. edit this file: /etc/prosody/conf.avail/HOSTNAME.com.cfg.lua Look for the first `authentication` line for HOSTNAME.com and change it to `internal_plain` authentication = "internal_plain" Add a username/password prosodyctl register 'username' 'HOSTNAME.com' 'password' then restart prosody (or just reboot) This is enough to make a password prompt pop up every time someone creates or joins a room, and it autofills nicely after you enter it the first t

It is authenticated, i.e. only logged in users have access. Prosody is well tested XMPP implementation and is used in many production application. meet.jit.si is unauthenticated deployment and many people use it. I wouldn't call it a tiny bit of functionality, MUC and SFU are the two main components of any video conferencing solution. XMPP helps provide MUC capability, Jicofo is the component you can see the implementation here https://github.com/jitsi/jicofo BOSH does not allow all operations available via XMPP standard, there are restrictions possible, to maintain security.
