1:10 - Installing Debian 11.6.0 in Virtualbox
2:11 - Virtualbox settings for this Debian Virtual Machine
3:05 - Loading up Debian and installing it. Make sure to at least select ssh and standard system utilities at 6:50
8:20 - Using PuTTY to connect via port 22 SSH to debian. I knew the IP address for debian was going to be 192.168.1.119 because I gave debian a specific MAC address at 2:33 in this video, which my DD-WRT router already has a static IP set for.
9:38 - verifying the sources list looks good (you will have trouble installing applications if your sources are not set up correctly here)
10:06 - log in root: su - to verify sources list. "nano" is just a text editor, so it needs to be typed before any config or file you edit.
nano /etc/apt/sources.list
11:07 - editing ssh config so we can log directly into root from putty. by default, it won't allow you.
nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
PermitRootLogin yes
(make sure to remove the # in front)
/etc/init.d/ssh restart
11:50 - editing grub file to make booting faster (no more boot screen)
nano /etc/default/grub
GRUB_DEFAULT=1
GRUB_TIMEOUT=0
update-grub
13:04 -
apt-get update
wget -T 10 -O jitsi-jibri-installer https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jitsi-contrib/installers/main/jitsi-jibri/jitsi-jibri-installer
export JITSI_HOST=yourhost.freemyip.com
export TURN_HOST=yourhost2.freemyip.com
14:41 - beginning installation of Jitsi and Jibri
bash jitsi-jibri-installer
17:46 - installation complete. Server is operational (excluding the new whiteboard)!
Type https://yourhost.freemyip.com in your browser to see if it's working.
31:34 - I stopped the listening service in the background by pressing CTRL+C or CTRL+Z sometimes.
