Installing BigBlueButton

Installing BigBlueButton

This app is intended to work alongside a BigBlueButton installation. Greenlight is the frontend and the BigBlueButton install is the backend. BBB must be installed on a separate VM following the instructions in BigBlueButton documentation and bbb-install script documentation.

To summarize the installation procedure
  1. Create a new 64-bit Ubuntu 20.04 (or the latest is currently supported) server with a public IP and 4GB of memory (RAM) and 4 CPU. Note installation script does not work without these minimum requirements.
  2. Configure the DNS to point bbb.example.com to the public IP below.
  3. Execute
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bigbluebutton/bbb-install/v2.7.x-release/bbb-install.sh | bash -s -- -w -v focal-270 -s bbb.example.com -e info@example.com
  1. Install Greenlight on the Management Dashboard.
  2. Take the output of bbb-conf --secret on the BigBlueButton server and put these values to the following variables in /app/data/env of Greenlight using the File manager.
BIGBLUEBUTTON_ENDPOINT=
BIGBLUEBUTTON_SECRET=
  1. Restart the Greenlight app.
