Jitsi is a free, open source video conferencing and communication platform. It provides a secure, stable, and free alternative to popular video conferencing services. Use built-in features to limit meeting access with passwords or stream on YouTube so anyone can attend.
Our marketplace app allows you to create a Jitsi cluster that decouples Jitsi's video brige component to create a more robust video conference solution.

Supported Distributions:

| Name | Action |
|---|---|
| Hostname | The Hostname module uses dnsdomainname -A to detect the Linode's FQDN and write to the /etc/hosts file. This defaults to the Linode's automatically assigned rDNS. To use a custom FQDN see Configure your Linode for Reverse DNS. |
| Update Packages | The Update Packages module performs apt update and upgrade actions as root. |
| UFW | The UFW module will utilize a list generated by linode_helpers/ufw/ufwgen.yml in the group_vars/linode/vars and enables the service. |
| Fail2Ban | The Fail2Ban module installs, activates and enables the Fail2Ban service. |
