What is Jitsi Meet on Docker?
Jitsi Meet on Docker packages the Jitsi Meet video conferencing stack into a set of Docker containers orchestrated by Docker Compose. It includes the web frontend, Prosody XMPP server, Jicofo focus component, Jitsi Videobridge for video routing, and optional components like Jibri for recording/streaming, Jigasi for SIP gateway, Etherpad for document collaboration, and Excalidraw for whiteboarding. The stack supports multiple authentication methods (internal, LDAP, JWT), Let's Encrypt for TLS certificates, and runs rootless with read-only filesystems. It is designed for teams and organizations wanting full control over their video conferencing infrastructure.
