Solved Anyone using Jitsi behind Nginx
-
The only thing different in this one and the one that I had is that I don't have the
proxy_redirect off;line.

removed, no difference.

Tried using keepalive or maybe proxy_connect_timeout?

Doesn't jitsi require the use of websockets? I think I used them when I tested it but I'm not 100%

So nginx config in the location will need these?
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade; -

proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;I did that last night. The result was my single connection stays stable but it all crashes as soon as a second person joins.
location / { proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true; proxy_pass https://10.254.0.104; proxy_http_version 1.1; proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade; proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade"; proxy_set_header Host $host; } -
I spun up a Debian 9 instance on Vultr (see my guide) and it works perfectly with multiple users connecting.
Of course it has no external proxy in front of it.
-
With the above setting, jsut myself can connect and it stays connected. Amost 2 hours until I manually disconnected.
But everytime a second user connects, it drops immediately.
So annoying.
-
It may be that mine was the same. Only ever tested it with one user.
-
Gods there is like no documentation on Jitsi.
Granted when installed on a VPS direct on the internet it just works. But that doens't help me.

I found this on github.
https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/blob/master/doc/example-config-files/jitsi.example.com.exampleSomething similar is in their "manual install" document.
https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/blob/master/doc/manual-install.mdBut, that is showing
localhost. When I try to use that config (changed to point the internal IP), I never successfully connect. -
This might be overcomplicating things... but what about setting it up behind an nginx setup on the same server as jitsi, and then use your main nginx proxy to forward to the jitsi nginx?

Why would that work vs. the normal reverse proxy? If you have a problem and make two of the same problem it doesn't solve the issue I would think. I'm actually asking, not being a dick.
-
@JaredBusch : I know this doesn't answer your question, but have you looked at NextCloud Talk at all? I don't know much about it but think it touts itself as a similar solution and the documentation is likely better.

I'm not sure that it would. I'm going to try it on mine in a bit. But sometimes having a proxy on a different machine can cause random problems for things that like to use a lot of open ports -- that's been my experience.

It does not work as well.

Regarding proxying WS supporting multiple users, my default is this:
# enables WS support proxy_http_version 1.1; proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade; proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade"; proxy_set_header Host $host;and
proxy_redirect off; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_max_temp_file_size 0; client_max_body_size 50m; client_body_buffer_size 256k; proxy_connect_timeout 180; proxy_send_timeout 180; proxy_read_timeout 90; proxy_buffer_size 16k; proxy_buffers 4 64k; proxy_busy_buffers_size 128k; proxy_temp_file_write_size 128k;Which appears to be what you used. I wonder what Jitsi is doing different that it breaks multiple connections via WS?
