Meetily Enterprise

Enterprise Quick Start

Install the Meetily Enterprise server with one command, create your organization, and get your whole team on Meetily with one key.

At a glance

One command installs the server. A short setup in your browser creates your organization. Then you send one key to your whole team, and each person shows up in your dashboard as they join. There are no users to add one by one.

Meetily Enterprise

Meetily Enterprise runs on your own server. You choose the transcription and summary settings once in the dashboard, and every computer that joins your organization gets them.

This guide is for the IT admin who sets it up. It takes you from an empty server to your first people in the dashboard.

Before you start

  • A name for the server, for example meet.yourcompany.com, in your DNS.
  • Port 443 open, so people's computers can reach the server.
  • About 10 minutes. Most of it is the installer working alone.

The server runs on Linux (x64 or ARM64), on a Mac with Apple silicon, or on Windows.

Quick Start

Install the server with one command (Linux or Mac) or the setup program (Windows).

Open the setup link and create your organization in five short screens.

Send everyone the app download links and your Organization key.

Each person pastes the key in Meetily and appears in your dashboard.


Install the server

Run this on the server, in a terminal:

curl -fsSL https://meetily.ai/server | sudo bash

The installer does the rest. Along the way it asks you three questions, described below. At the end it prints a setup link.

Certificate

The first question is how the apps get a trusted certificate:

How do the apps get a trusted certificate for this server?
1) Let's Encrypt: the server gets one and renews it by itself. It needs a
public DNS name and port 443 open to the internet.
2) My own certificate files (PEM): for example from your company's CA.
Choose 1 or 2: 1
  • 1) Let's Encrypt. Nothing to buy and nothing to renew. The server needs a public DNS name. This is the easiest setup.
  • 2) Your own certificate files. Use this when the server is only on your internal network. The installer then asks for the full path of each file on the server:
Choose 1 or 2: 2
Certificate chain file (PEM): /etc/meetily-server-certs/fullchain.pem
Private key file (PEM): /etc/meetily-server-certs/privkey.pem
The server's DNS name [meet.acme.com]:

The installer checks that it can read both files, and suggests the DNS name from the certificate: press Enter to keep it.

Keep the certificate files where they are

The server reads them from that path each time it starts. When you renew the certificate, replace the files at the same path and restart the server.

DNS name

This server's public IP address is 203.0.113.10.
The server's DNS name, for example meet.example.com: meet.acme.com
meet.acme.com does not point to this server yet.
At your DNS provider, add this record:
Type: A    Name: meet.acme.com    Value: 203.0.113.10
Press Enter when you have added it:
meet.acme.com points to this server.

Add the record at your DNS provider, then press Enter. The installer checks the name for you. A new record can take a few minutes; press Enter again to check again. In a cloud, give the server a fixed IP address (in AWS, an Elastic IP).

Port 443

Port 443 must be open to the internet. In a cloud, allow it in the server's
security group or firewall rules.
Press Enter when it is open:

The installer opens the port on the server itself. A cloud firewall (for example an AWS security group) is outside the server, so you open that one.

Now the installer works alone: it installs the server, opens the firewall on this machine, starts the service and gets the certificate (up to 2 minutes). At the end it prints:

Done
Server address: https://meet.acme.com
Setup link (works once, for 24 hours; keep it private):
https://meet.acme.com/setup#code=…
Open it in a browser and create the owner account.

Open the link in your browser to create your organization.


Create your organization

The setup link opens five short screens. Your free trial starts right away: 30 days, up to 10 people, no license key needed. The numbers in each list match the numbers on the screenshot.

Owner account

Set up Meetily Enterprise form with organization name, owner name and email, password, and Create account and start trial.

Transcription

Choose how meeting audio turns into text.

  3. Lock for everyone: when it is on, people can't change this in the app.
  4. Select Next.

Summary

Get your team on Meetily

Send one key instead of adding users

Adding users one by one is a hassle, so skip it. Copy your Organization key and send it to everyone. Each person pastes it once in Meetily, and they show up in your dashboard by themselves.

  2. Select Copy.

Send everyone the app and the key

This is the main step: one message to your whole team, with the download links and the Organization key. People install Meetily Enterprise from these links:
