about openVZ node server

[Enaya Gad]

I really don't understand at all but my server administrator is saying that big blue button can not be installed on a server which has an openVZ node server.

He suggests that I contact my data center and ask them to assign the public ip address to the main interface.

My data center, however, said the following:

 It is technically not possible to change venet0:0 to main IP in OpenVZ VPS servers.
All OpenVZ based VPS servers is configured as PPP connetion inside node server which works as gateway/router for a hosted VPS and this network configuration should stay.

Can you please help me out with this! My server admin is now suggesting I host somewhere else without an openVZ node server! 

Thanks in advance

Hi Enaya,

In the future, please post installation/setup related questions to bigbluebutton-setup

You can install BigBlueButton on a server with public/private IP addresses, but we personally don't have experience with OpenVZ servers.  

Make sure the server meets the minimum requirements listed at

Thank you so much Fred.

Do you know where I can get information about openVZ node server and BBB installation?

Do the BBB instructions not apply to us?

Thanks

Hi Enaya,

We (the core developers) don't have any experience with openVZ.  Perhaps other members of the community have experience they can share.

OpenVZ installs work fine. Install the appropriate Ubuntu template inside the container and then follow the normal BBB install steps. 

Do make sure to set your Locale properly - that's been the only caveat we've run into.

Performance is quite good and it's nice not having kernels running on top of kernels. (It's kernels all the way down.)
