Setup

Host

• interserver.net: hellman.deadmandao.com
• namecheap.com: CNAME meet.bobbushman.com -> hellman.deadmandao.com
• Apache Note: "Nginx/Apache: As we prefer the usage of Nginx as webserver, the installer checks first for the presence of Nginx and then for Apache." - Jitsi
  • IE: nginx is not required. (though Apache is second-class, so maybe it won't be automatic)
