Hi Andrea,
Thank you for the tutorial! I have run the tutorial from scratch several times, and everything works great until I try to add a new user. If I try to register a user with $JITSI_DOMAIN, I get the error "The given hostname does not exist in the config",
and if I put my domain in instead of $JITSI_DOMAIN i get the error, "Prosody was unable to find the configuration file, we for: /etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua." I can confirm that the config is indeed there. Any ideas??? Thank you so much for any ideas and the tutorial. I am following the exact steps you put in on Ubuntu 18.04. Thank you!

hello Joe, from your description looks like you have not use this command correctly:

export JITSI_DOMAIN="your_domain.com"

yor_domain.com should be changed with the domain you want to use for your Jitsi installation

Thank you Andrea. I was able to figure it out. I don't think your files were importing properly for me so I just did it over by following the steps in the official documentation link you provided. I am an novice so I'm sure I did something wrong when running the import commands! Thanks again
