Quickstart for Jibri

Jibri is a tool for recording and streaming audio and video from Jitsi Meet meetings, essentially acting as the Jitsi Broadcasting Infrastructure. It launches a Chrome instance to capture and encode the meeting output using ffmpeg, enabling users to record and stream meetings to services like YouTube or Facebook Live.

Deploy Jibri on Elestio

1. Open the Jibri deployment page and sign in, or create an account.
2. Choose a cloud provider, a region and a data center. Pick the region closest to your users for the lowest latency.
3. Choose an instance size. Elestio only lists the sizes that can run Jibri properly (at least 1 vCPU and -1 GB of RAM).
4. Choose your support plan and the maintenance window for system and software updates (times are in UTC).
5. Click Create Service. Jibri is deployed and ready in a few minutes, and you receive an email with the access details.

The full walkthrough with screenshots is in the installation guide.

Access Jibri

Open your service in the Elestio dashboard and go to the Overview tab. Click Display Admin UI to reveal the URL, username and password of your Jibri instance.

If the password field is blank, Jibri does not ship with a pre-created admin user: open the admin URL to start its setup. Software without a web interface, such as databases, is reached with the credentials and port listed in the same tab. See Admin UI and credentials.
