Jitsi Meet: Enabling Authentication and Server Optimization

2025-09-10

In the previous article, we deployed a basic Jitsi Meet server using Docker.
Now let’s look at how to secure your server, enable authentication, and optimize performance for stable video calls.

Authentication: Invite-Only Access

By default, Jitsi Meet allows anyone to create rooms. To restrict access — enable Secure Domain.

1. Open the .env file and find the Prosody (XMPP server) section.

   ENABLE_AUTH=1
   AUTH_TYPE=internal
   

Here, internal means that users will be stored locally.

Setup is simple: create a file, enable it, and add it to autoload. But remember — it’s insurance, not a replacement for RAM.

Introduction

Modern VPSs are usually provisioned with enough RAM but often without swap (swap file or partition). This is a deliberate choice by providers who want you to quickly upgrade to a more expensive plan.
