Jitsi-meet is very easy to install and to setup. "apt install jitsi-meet" and you have almost all done. The documentation is very good. It works great and it is super userfriendly. You have no excuses.
There's a weird interaction between the NOFILE security limit (`ulimit -n`), Java 8, and Linux-based containers (noted on both LXC and Docker). If NOFILE is too high, Java 8 will paradoxically run out of memory as it tries to allocate some huge number of file descriptors. That took a while to figure out, since generally when you get an error about exhaustion of file descriptors, you expect the opposite!
So just set a lower security limit, right? It doesn't seem to work, I'm assuming because something in the Jitsi install process decides it needs to set them really high for the install session. I haven't debugged what component specifically is doing this yet. This results in the install scripts crashing when the installer tries to initialize the Java CA store.
In theory one could wait for that crash, reset the file limit, and then resume the install process. This works to a certain point, but every time I tried it, the crash in the CA store initialization would leave the dpkg database in a badly broken state that `apt-get --fix-broken install`, `aptitude`, and some manual dpkg futzing wasn't able to fix in the course of the 3-ish hours I spent working on it (complains on libc6-linux-dev package install that /usr/include/linux/something-something.dpkg-new doesn't exist; that folder structure isn't present on disk).
Technically Jitsi is set up by this point because the crash occurs as part of the certbot bootstrap, but I was working on getting Janus to work anyway and just tried out jitsi-meet because they had an autoinstaller that would set up Prosody, JVB, and all that good stuff anyway, so it wasn't really worth plugging through the rest of the way or dealing with the broken half-installed Jitsi, especially since there are many warnings about how you must configure the SSL bits properly in the install documentation.
But it'd be great if someone wanted to fix all that and make my life easier. :)
