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"

You may need to update Language adoptions DE and Interface config changes, compare with DISTRO.

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
