Jitsi Server

Create a virutal machine and set up a Jitsi meet server with Terraform.

Prerequisites

• Before you start, you need to change the domain server of your domain to point to the Hetzner domain servers. Typically, this can be done at the registrar you used to register your domain name.

• Create a new or find an existing Terraform project to add the Jitsi server.

• Providers are not shipped with this module and must be added to the Terraform project. Add the following to terraform.tf in the project directory:

    variable "hcloud_token" {}
  
    provider "hcloud" {
            version = "~> 1.16.0"
            token = var.hcloud_token
    }
  
    variable "hetznerdns_token" {}
  
    provider "hetznerdns" {
        apitoken = var.hetznerdns_token
    }
  
    provider "random" {
        version = "~> 2.2"
    }
  

• Set Hetzner Cloud API Token in tfvars file, env, or use a parameter. Add the following to terraform.tfvars in the root of your Terraform project and replace the placeholders with your actual API tokens.

    hcloud_token = "<Hetzner Cloud API Token>"
    hetznerdns_token = "<Hetzner DNS API Token>"
  

• Add a SSH key resource or add a data source referencing an existing key at Hetzner Cloud. This key will be used to create the virtual machine and install the Jitsi server. You can ssh into this virtual machine as root using this SSK key.

    resource "hcloud_ssh_key" "root" {
        name = "root@${var.domain_name}"
        public_key = file("~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub")
    }
  

Example

data "hcloud_ssh_key" "ssh_key_1" {
  name = "my-key"
}

module "jitsi_server" {
    source = "git@github.com:timohirt/terraform-hcloud-jitsi-meet.git"

    root_ssh_key_fingerprint = data.hcloud_ssh_key.ssh_key_1.fingerprint
    domain_name = "example.com"
    jitsi_sub_domain = "jitsi"
    letsencrypt_account_email = "jitsi@example.com"
}
