Super easy for me. I followed the instructions to setup on Ubuntu and it was ten minutes with zero confusion. Just copy the steps from the guide. Even the let's encrypt script installed certbot and configured whatever was needed with the existing web server.

Then I just hit the url and it worked perfectly.

The biggest surprise was when I tried to access that same page from an Android phone. It prompted me to install the jitsi app. After I installed it, it directed me to my jitsi server.

For me it was flawless and even better that I expected. It's a strong competitor to zoom because of the fact that it works right inside the browser really well.

Android isn't the problem, I mentioned iOS. I know WebRTC works and all starting iOS 11, but the problem remains with the way Jitsi configures SSL in the nginx conf. iOS Safari is simply unable to establish a secure connection despite the server having a valid LetEncrypt cert.

Hey there, saghul from Jitsi here. Have you reported that to us? I have deployed several self-hosste instances with Lets Enccrypt and haven't seen this, but there might a bug lurking somewhere.

There was a version of nginx that broke TLS for Safari when HTTP/2 is enabled. This was a number of years ago now and I’m sure isn’t happening on new versions.
