H all, Somebody here selfhosting jitsi meet?

I am working on a jitsi-meet setup for an organisation, now looking at the options for redundancy.

I have noticed you can configure multiple XMPP servers on the jitsiivideobridge. What is the exact goal of this?

Can you connect a jvb to multiple jitsj servers (domains)? or is this only for making the jitsii backend redundant?

A lot of the stuff in Jitsi meet is a result of their internal setup and it isn't imediatly clear how it would be useful to other infrastructure.

I guess it might be related to some compartmentalization of customer deployments while sharing a high performance video bridge cluster or so.

I think the better question is to ask what you actually need rather than what obscure featured jitsi might have.

For me, the first goal is to simply understand the setup. I now have been able to create a setup with two frontend jvb-instances and one backend. In the end, the architecture setup of a jitsi-server is quite nicely explained, and -by delving a little bit into the startup scripts of the docker-based jitsi setup, you do get some idea of how things fit together.

From a practicle point of view, I think I'll go for the basic setup (1 backend, 2 frontends) natively on two servers, and -if the backend server would go down- just have a dockerised backup-setup ready to go if it would be needed.

Thanks!
