Deployment scripts for BBB on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

[Rob Dyke]

I've published some manifests / modules to help the deploy of BigBlueButton on Ubuntu 12.04 with either Ansible or Puppet.

A healthcare client commissioned Tactix4 to build a virtual machine with BBB for a pilot. We built a new Ubuntu 10.04 LTS VM and installed BBB in our datacentre in about 3 hours. Simples. In order for the Client to use BBB for online consultations as part of a mental health programme we needed to deploy BBB inside the client infrastructure. And on Ubuntu 12.04. This took some hacking.....We reviewed the instructions ( here https://code.google.com/p/bigbluebutton/wiki/InstallationUbuntu ) for the 10.04 LTS build and wherever we ran into a problem due to a version/package/distro missmatch we hacked at a few different methods until we found what worked.

The scripts are here: https://github.com/robdyke/bigbluebutton

The ansible script is the most complete. The puppet scripts will need a bit of poken. If you can improve them, please do! All pull requests gratefully received and reviewed.

BW, Rob

Hi Rob,

Thanks for sharing this!  

This should help bridge gap that remains until we release the newer version of BigBlueButton running on Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit.

Regards,... Fred

Fred, my pleasure!

After reading so many posts to this forum where people have asked for help and not shared what they did to get it working I got annoyed....

Hopefully others will build on these. The script for ansible will do a pretty much complete install in ~15 minutes (depending on bandwidth and processor....) ... In my datacentre environment I can build a complete BBB on 12.04 in ~21 minutes including installing the Ubuntu server.

Hi Ferran,

Glad someone is having a go with my scripts!

1. If you are getting $'\r' not found errors, be aware that Windows can add newline characters which can cause issues after downloading things from github and pasting via putty into a console. I guess this is not your problem though as you sound like you know what you are doing
2. I think I said in my original post that the scripts (as used by puppet) needed some work. The ansible manisfest will work fine and install ruby-1.9.2-head
3. I suggest that you either a) hack and fix the puppet/shell scripts (please!) or use the ansible role created and known as working.

All improvements to the scripts and the module/manifest gratefullly received by myself and the BBB community!

I am following your instructions https://github.com/robdyke/bigbluebutton to install BBB on our new Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS

When install ruby through rvm-ruby.sh

I get this error

./rvm-ruby.sh: line 10: $'\r': command not found

and finally, I get this two errors:

ERROR: Error running 'make ', please read /usr/share/ruby-rvm/log/ruby-1.9.2-p180/make.log

ERROR: There has been an error while running make. Halting the installation.

I have tried apt-get install ruby but I get two errors  

E: Unable to locate package ruby-1.9.2-p180

E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'ruby-1.9.2-p180'

 

So, I keep ruby -v getting

The program 'ruby' can be found in the following packages:

 * ruby1.8

 * ruby1.9.1

How can we install ruby 1.9.2?

How we can install BBB in Ubuntu 12.04?

Thanks in advance
