Fix all.css
- see #169 (closed) - we have now in each brand an extra custom.css
with custom classes only.
Check if /usr/share/jitsi-meet/plugin.head.html
still has the line <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/custom.css">
.
You may need to update Language adoptions DE and Interface config changes, compare with DISTRO.
We need to patch app.bundle.min.js
: replace the headerTitle "Jitsi Meet" with "Start your conference now" (as any change in main.json
has no effect) and remove the #
after the dial-in PIN as described in #3 (comment 41814) .
At all brands we have a custom static folder, which usually does not change at updates. Some of the static pages do not fit well to our color and background scheme we have defined in the body of all-fixed.css
, so we replace the CSS link e.g. for the page dialInInfo.html
with the original all.css
:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://run.fairmeeting.net/css/all.css">
post installation
These were the manual steps which we had to do after updates before we had the brand structure and used custom.css (unless you have set apt-mark hold jitsi-meet
)

check the following /etc/jitsi
files, they should not be overwritten with an update (or do a git branch multibridge-update
first):
/etc/jitsi/videobridge/sip-communicator.properties
/etc/jitsi/videobridge/config
/etc/jitsi/jicofo/sip-communicator.properties
/etc/jitsi/meet/fairmeeting.net-config.js
all.css
am Ende ergänzen mit den fairkom custom classes, vorher deminify (nicht mit BBedit, sondern mit https://htmlstrip.com/unminify-css
)
cp /usr/share/jitsi-meet/images/welcome_page# cp schlegeisgreySMALL.jpg curves.png
in interface_config.js you can define which functions are presented, e.g. removed for now "invite by phone"
We have automated this partially with an update scripts or see the example here.
add domains and LE certs
Let’s Encrypt certificate is being added for main domain automagically with: /usr/share/jitsi-meet/scripts/install-letsencrypt-cert.sh and is also used by coturn server on same machine
Adding additional domain on same server see https://git.fairkom.net/hosting/fairmeeting/-/issues/84
