Jitsi Meet Server Hosting - Private Video Conferencing Offshore
Jitsi Meet is the open-source video conferencing platform used by privacy advocates, journalists, and organizations worldwide who refuse to send meeting data to Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams. Self-hosting on an AnubizHost offshore VPS gives you encrypted group video calls, screen sharing, recording, and chat - with no corporate intermediary on the call.

Why Self-Host Jitsi Instead of Using Zoom
Zoom has a documented history of routing calls through Chinese servers, enabling meeting hosts to terminate calls, and collecting metadata on all participants. Google Meet and Microsoft Teams are subject to the US CLOUD Act. Jitsi Meet is fully end-to-end encrypted (with Jitsi's End-to-End Encryption mode enabled), open-source, and free. A self-hosted instance means call metadata, participant lists, and recordings are stored only on your AnubizHost VPS - invisible to any third party. No Zoom account required for participants: anyone joins via a browser link. This makes it ideal for lawyer-client calls, medical consultations, journalist source meetings, or any conversation where confidentiality is not optional.
Server Requirements and Docker Setup
Jitsi Meet is the most resource-intensive self-hosted application in this list. Simultaneous video streams are CPU-heavy - plan for at minimum 4 CPU cores for calls with 10+ participants. The Jitsi Videobridge (JVB) component does the media routing. RAM requirement is 4 GB minimum for small deployments. Deploy with Docker:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/jitsi/docker-jitsi-meet.git jitsi
cd jitsi
cp env.example .env
./gen-passwords.sh
# Edit .env: set HTTP_SERVER_ADDR, PUBLIC_URL, etc.
docker compose up -d
```
The JVB container requires UDP port 10000 open for media traffic. Configure the PUBLIC_URL to your domain and obtain a TLS certificate through the Nginx container included in the stack. AnubizHost VPS plans with 4+ CPU cores handle 20-person calls smoothly.
Offshore Jurisdiction and Professional Use Cases
Hosting Jitsi Meet on AnubizHost's offshore infrastructure in Iceland or Romania provides critical legal protection for professional communications. Icelandic privacy law does not permit warrantless interception of communications, and data requests from foreign governments require formal mutual legal assistance treaty processes. For law firms, medical practices, and journalists, this jurisdictional protection is as important as the encryption. Meeting recordings stored on the VPS are protected by the same jurisdictional advantages. AnubizHost accepts Monero - the most private cryptocurrency - enabling operators to pay for video conferencing infrastructure with complete financial privacy.
