# Quick Jibri Installer
Bash installer for Jitsi Meet standalone along with Jibri on supported **Ubuntu LTS** based systems using **nginx** as default webserver.

## Usage
As for our current latest release, as we have integrated more and more features, we highly recommend to use a **purpose specific-newly spawn server** to host the jitsi-meet framework, making sure you stick to the requirements and recommendations as much as possible, in order to avoid issues.

**WARNING:** Please, avoid using this installer on your everyday GNU/Linux system, as this is an unsupported use and it will likely BREAK YOUR SYSTEM, so please don't.


### Main Server
Login into your clean server, clone git repository and run the installer,

```
git clone https://github.com/switnet-ltd/quick-jibri-installer
cd quick-jibri-installer
bash quick-jibri-installer.sh
```
If your server meet the necessary resources, then at the end on the installer you should have a working Jitsi Meet Server along with a Jibri server ready to record.

Additional jibris need to be set on separate servers, only necesary on simultaneous recordings for that please use add-jibri-node.sh.

### Add Jibri node

Copy the modified `add-jibri-node.sh` file from your early cloned installation directory once the installation is completed, to the new server meant to be a jibri node using your preferred method, then run it

**WARNING:** This file contains sensitive information from your setup, please handle with care.

```
bash add-jibri-node.sh
```

Please remember that on newer versions, jibri will record on FHD (1920x1080) so please make sure your server have enough CPU power in orther to handle the encoding load.

### Add JVB2 node

Copy the modified `add-jvb2-node.sh` file from your early cloned installation directory once the installation is completed, to the new server meant to be a jibri node using your preferred method, then run it

**WARNING:** This file contains sensitive information from your setup, please handle with care.

```
bash add-jvb2-node.sh
```

## Kernel warning
For AWS users or any cloud service provider that might use their own kernel on their products (servers/vm/vps), might cause Jibri failure to start due not allowing `snd_aloop` module.
