Jitsi Meet VPSYour video meetings, on your own server

Jitsi Meet is open source video conferencing software published by a third party: HD audio and video, screen sharing, chat, polls and mobile apps. Hosted on your VPS, it gives you your own video service, at your address, with no account to create for your participants.

Jitsi Meet is released under the Apache 2.0 license. There is no license to buy and no user limit set by the software: the prices shown on this page are for the VPS.

Jitsi does not publish a figure per server: capacity depends on bandwidth first, then on the number of participants and the resolution of their videos. Its guide gives about 200 kbit/s per stream at 180p, 500 kbit/s at 360p, 2.5 Mbit/s at 720p and 10 Mbit/s at 4K, and says 1 Gbit/s will often be enough for a friends or small organization server. Our eligible General Purpose plans range from 200 to 300 Mbps, the Performance and High Performance ranges offer 1 Gbps. Try it with your real meetings: you're covered by the 30-day money-back guarantee.

The Jitsi self-hosting guide usually suggests 8 GB of RAM, 4 GB for small meetings and 2 GB only for test servers; 4 cores can be enough for a basic server, and 20 GB of disk will do without heavy logging. We therefore only offer plans with at least 2 vCPUs, 4 GB of RAM and 30 GB of disk, with 1 GB of memory reserved for the system and the One Click Apps platform. For regular meetings, aim for 8 GB and 4 vCPUs.

As deployed, Jitsi Meet is open: anyone who knows the address can create a meeting. To restrict meeting creation to accounts, the Jitsi Docker guide describes authentication (ENABLE_AUTH and AUTH_TYPE variables, accounts created with prosodyctl in the Prosody container): it's an administration task, done with your root access to the server.

The One Click Apps installation opens ports 80 and 443 for the web interface. Audio and video go through the video bridge's UDP port 10000: if you have defined custom rules in your instance's Firewall tab, add a rule for this port.

Not with this deployment. Recording and live streaming go through Jibri, a separate component the deployment does not include. The Jitsi guide says you need at least 8 GB of RAM per recording at 720p, and advises against hosting it on the same server as Jitsi Meet.

Yes. Add it in the application's Domains tab. If the DNS zone is managed at OnetSolutions, the A record is created for you; otherwise, the console shows the IP address to point to. The HTTPS certificate is issued automatically.

Jitsi's configuration volumes are backed up every day at 3 a.m. and kept for 7 days, on the VPS disk; the meetings themselves are not stored. Against losing the server, add the VPS backup option (from €1.99 excl. VAT/month) or take a snapshot. Every night, the console compares the deployed version with the one published upstream and shows a banner when an update is available: you start it when you decide to.

Our support covers the VPS: the server, its network, its storage and its availability. Jitsi Meet, its configuration and its updates remain your responsibility: the console gives you the tools to manage them, and you keep root access to the server.
