Once all the packages are installed, download and import the Jitsi Meet GPG key with the following command.

Save and close the file when you are finished.

vi /etc/apt/sources.list.d/prosody.list
Add the following line.
deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/prosody-keyring.gpg] http://packages.prosody.im/debian jammy main
Save and close the file when you are done. You can now proceed to install Jitsi Meet.

By default, anyone can access the Jitsi Meet and create conference rooms. For security reasons, securing the Jisti Meet with password authentication is a good idea.
To enable the password authentication, edit the Jisti Meet configuration file.
vi /etc/prosody/conf.avail/jitsi.linuxbuz.com.cfg.lua
Change the following line:
authentication = "internal_plain"
Next, add the following lines at the end of the file.
VirtualHost "guest.jitsi.linuxbuz.com"
authentication = "anonymous"
c2s_require_encryption = false
modules_enabled = {
"bosh";
"ping";
"pubsub";
"speakerstats";
"turncredentials";
"conference_duration";
}
Save and close the file when you are finish. Then, edit the another configuration file.
vi /etc/jitsi/meet/jitsi.linuxbuz.com-config.js
Change the following line.
anonymousdomain: 'guest.jitsi.linuxbuz.com',
Save and close the file when you are done. Next, create another configuration file.
vi /etc/jitsi/jicofo/sip-communicator.properties
Add the following line.
org.jitsi.jicofo.auth.URL=XMPP:jitsi.linuxbuz.com
Save and close the file then create a user for Jitsi Meet with the following command.
prosodyctl register user jitsi.linuxbuz.com yourpassword
