Jitsi instructions: suggested minor updates #230

Description

@adrawerofthings

This relates to the doc here — https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/jitsi-server?ipAddress=152.42.230.35#getting-started — and I am using a DigitalOcean (auto-install) Droplet with Ubuntu 24.04.3 on September 22, 2025.

Most of the instructions worked except:

  • Under Step 4, it currently says: There, look for the line that starts with VirtualHost, below it, there is a line that says authentication = "anonymous", it should be changed to authentication = "internal_plain". This seems to be no longer necessary as the default is "internal_hashed"
  • However, under the same step, even after creating a moderator user, no username/password was required to create a room. But it does ask for it after I follow the steps in this doc — https://jitsi-club.gitlab.io/jitsi-self-hosting/en/01-deployment-howto/01-authentication/#configure_authentication_only_for_room_creation — to sudo nano /etc/jitsi/jicofo/sip-communicator.properties and add the following line (insert your actual domain): org.jitsi.jicofo.auth.URL=XMPP:meet.example.com save and exit.
