Jami does NOT have a server component and cannot be deployed with Ansible.
| Aspect | Status |

| Server Component | ❌ None exists |
| Ansible Deployment | ❌ Not applicable |
| Architecture | Peer-to-peer (client-only) |

| Technical Stack | C++, Python (clients) |
Jami’s peer-to-peer architecture means there is no server infrastructure to automate:
While you cannot deploy a Jami server, Ansible can help with:
Use Ansible to install Jami on managed Linux workstations:
- name: Install Jami Client on Linux Workstations
hosts: workstations
become: true
tasks:
- name: Install Jami on Debian/Ubuntu
apt:
name: jami
state: present
update_cache: true
when: ansible_os_family == "Debian"
- name: Install Jami on Fedora
dnf:
name: jami
state: present
when: ansible_os_family == "RedHat" and ansible_distribution == "Fedora"
- name: Create Jami configuration directory
file:
path: "{{ ansible_user_dir }}/.config/jami"
state: directory
mode: '0755'
# Install on all workstations
ansible-playbook -i inventory.ini jami-client.yml
For improved connectivity in restrictive networks, deploy a Coturn TURN server:
- name: Deploy Coturn TURN Server for Jami
hosts: turn-server
become: true
vars:
turn_realm: "turn.example.com"
turn_user: "jami"
turn_password: "change-this-to-strong-password"
tasks:
- name: Install Coturn
apt:
name: coturn
state: present
when: ansible_os_family == "Debian"
- name: Configure Coturn
copy:
dest: /etc/turnserver.conf

ufw:

loop:

After deploying TURN, configure Jami clients:
