jitsi-do

This project deploys Jitsi to DigitalOcean with Terraform and Ansible.

Environment Setup

This project has a Bash script (setup.sh) to set up a virtual environment. This shell scrip installs Terraform and Ansible in a virtual environment:

$ ./setup install

When Terraform and Ansible is installed, activate the virtualenv with:

$ activate .env/bin/activate

To remove the virtual environment, execute:

./setup.sh clean

Creating Digitalocean Instance

The project has these Terraform files:

• variable.tf: contains all variables used by Terraform.
• provider.ft: specifies the provider that is going to be used and Terraform version.
• 01_ssh_key.tf: configures your public SSH key in Digitalocean. If you already have a public SSH key configured in your account, this step may not be necessary.
• 02_droplet.tf: creates the instance (aka Droplet in Digitalocean).
• 03_dns.tf: adds a DNS A record pointing to the created instance.

This project use TF_VAR_<var_name> environment variable to set the Digitalocean token, so TF_VAR_do_token needs to be defined.

(.env) $ export TF_VAR_do_token=xxxxx
(.env) $ terraform init
(.env) $ terraform plan
(.env) $ terraform apply

Deploying Jitsi with Ansible and Docker Compose

In order to quickly run Jitsi Meet on the instance created before, running Docker and Docker Compose, execute this Ansible Playbook:

(.env) $ ansible-playbook -i hosts.yml deploy_jitsi.yml

This playbook will execute all steps described here

To-do

• Make the ansible playbook idempotent
• Add firewall rules
