Jitsi Meet works out of the box very well for video conferencing. The Jitsi Meet + Jibri bundle allows you to record meetings — and many installations stop there.

But as soon as Jitsi is used not occasionally, but as part of a working process, questions arise very quickly:

• Where should recordings be stored centrally?
• How can links be automatically published for the team?
• How can we get rid of heavy MP4 files and move to streaming playback?
• How can recordings be served over HTTPS without exposing the directory structure?
• How can all of this be done automatically, without manual administrator involvement?

Below is a full production pipeline with code: from Jibri finalizing a recording to publishing in Notion and asynchronous MP4→HLS transcoding with delivery via Caddy.

Jitsi Meet is an open videoconferencing platform that easily integrates with Active Directory (AD). Such integration allows using corporate accounts for login, simplifying administration and improving security. In this guide we’ll go through how to connect Jitsi Meet (in Docker) to AD based on Windows Server 2016, and show proven debugging methods that help avoid common errors.

Important: using LDAP without encryption is insecure. For testing this is acceptable, but in production you must use LDAPS (port 636) with valid certificates.

How to run Jitsi Meet (Docker) behind an Nginx Reverse Proxy

In the previous article we deployed a basic Jitsi Meet server using Docker.
This is a great way to quickly start video conferencing, but in production a Jitsi server often needs to run on the same host where other web applications are already running.
To keep everything peaceful, you should hide Jitsi behind an Nginx reverse proxy.
Nginx will take care of SSL, ports 80/443 and will proxy requests to the Jitsi containers running on internal ports.

Introduction

We are used to using convenient services like Google Meet or Zoom. But what if you are a doctor, mentor, or consultant for whom privacy and full control over client data are crucial? Let’s compare two popular tools: Jitsi Meet and Google Meet, and figure out which one is better suited for professional work.

What is Jitsi Meet?

Jitsi Meet is not just a video conferencing service but a full-fledged platform with open-source code. It can be used via the public server (meet.jit.si) or deployed on your own server for complete control.

I will set up a full-fledged alternative to Zoom or Google Meet on your server — Jitsi Meet.
A self-hosted server will give you full control over privacy and data.
Includes the familiar features: video calls, chat, screen sharing, recording.

If needed, I will integrate Jitsi with CRM, Telegram bots, AI assistants, or SIP telephony.
This will allow you to turn the system into a powerful communication center without fees or limitations from third-party services.
