This replication can take up to two days, so sometimes a little patience is involed in configuring domains. Those are just entries in a global phone book and because you own your domain, you can configure the phone numbers of that domain and the changes will be available everywhere in the world. When you own a domain, your hoster will grant you access to a GUI where you configure the relation between domain/subdomain names and IP adresses. by creating an A-record or CNAME to point to your newly created droplet.Ĭan't follow? Domain Name System (DNS) translates IP addresses into names that humans can remember way better. You can then add your new domain to Digital Ocean, where you can manage it, ie. I am buying my domains at Go Daddy (I don't get the name, too, perhaps an inside joke?) and namecheap. Connecting a domain: A-Records and CNAMEs
#JITSI VOICE HOW TO#
I recommend creating SSH keys and adding them to access your droplet, you can find information on how to do that for Windows and Linux directly on the Digital Ocean knowledge base. The defaults are almost good enough: Choose a datacenter near you, everything else is fine I am using Frankfurt, but you will probably use another datacenter location.įurthermore, we will be using Ubuntu 18.4.3 LTS 圆4 as our operating system because I know that best, your mileage may vary.
#JITSI VOICE SOFTWARE#
You could choose a number bigger to run Foundry alongside it, but I think even both software product will run fine on the smallest droplet if your average group size does not exceed four or five people - tell me with how many users you are running that combo and I will adjust that with a recommendation based on real-world usage.Īll you need to do is to choose a datacenter region that is located near you in order to reduce latency and therefore audio/video quality later on. The most tiny droplet is still good enough for one role-playing group of friends. This might depend on the size of your group, but you can increase the droplet size later on very easily in case you really need a better performing CPU or more RAM, down-sizing is (I think) not that simple. Jitsi installs fine on a very small droplet, I am using the smallest one that suits my needs perfectly. If you think that this is fishy, then please just go to their website and check them out without the referral link. If you spend 25$ of your own money some time later, I will get that 25$, too. Please note: If you are using the link above to sign up, you will get 100$ in "try me"-money. If you are already using a different hoster, the described procedure should be easy enough for you to adjust. I am used it for every web project I did in the last couple of years and I love the easiness of creating and disposing new Droplets, as they call their Virtual Machines.

This guide is using Digital Ocean as a low-cost, but still viable webhoster of choice.
