SETUP BBB on CONTABO VPS

[Sililo Connect]

Hello 👋, has anyone setup BBB on CONTABO VPS? I tried a fresh install on a completely fresh VPS (without any webserver) and I used the installation script. But it ends up giving errors about the SSL certificate not being installed. I Know the this is not due to incorrect DNS because I have set the DNS correctly and rightfully. Following the log upwards, it seems to have started with the redis server not being able to install. Any ideas why this is like this? Or does this have to do with some default settings on CONTABO VPS?

this sounds like you got IPv6 enable but not set up properly or no DNS for it

Hello I have several bbb servers hosted at CONTABO and they all work very well before starting the installation of bbb on the VPS, make sure of these small details:

cat /etc/default/locale

LANG="en_US.UTF-8"

ip addr | grep inet6

inet6 ::1/128 scope host ...

if ipv6 is not enabled please enable it:

nano /etc/sysctl.conf net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=0

sysctl -p

and start the installation good luck

[detlef K]

its easy to use....

open ssh     and activate   ipv6

enable_ipv6

Thats all.

Look at dns  AAA :  Ipv6 address

Then start install.sh .....

Thank you very much.... enabling Ipv6 helped the installation to be as easy as I have always known it to be... THANK YOU

To shorten the whole experience: You'll not get happy with BigBlueButton on a Contabo VPS. Reasons for that are the absolutely non-stable availability of CPU time (they very heavily oversubscribe CPU resources on their servers) and the lack of premium network transits & international transit providers, while also very heavily oversubscribing available network capacity. Contabo VPS is nice and very cheap for some smaller Wordpress websites or small services, but I really suggest picking something else for running a realtime audio+video conferencing service.

[Waqar Younis]

I second this opinion.

Never buy contabo or hetzner. They have unable network and cpu. 

I have bare metal with hetzner and i am not satisfied even with 1gbps dedicated network port. Waste of money 

Better to look for digital Ocean or aws etc

[Mohamed BRAHMI]

can you recommend another supplier? by experiment

[basisbit]

I usually suggest Hetzner Cloud (with "dedicated CPUs") (if you are in Europe or eastern USA) or Hetzner dedicated servers (only is you and majority of your users are in Europe), or DigitalOcean/Linode (Digitalocean has more reliable CPU while Linode has better network) with a server location in your geographic area, or OVH Public Cloud or OVH dedicated servers (or SoYouStart, which is also just OVH). Some have made good experiences with Ionos/1and1 servers (VPS or dedicted) but perosnally I had too many issues with their network being unreliable and their support being unresponsive besides the usual "did you turn if off and on" / "it is your servers configuration fault" basic support.

AWS is very expensive because it is made to be very good in every aspect except costs.

Of all those, OVH and AWS probably have the best network connectivity, but you pay for that.

Hello,

While I was retaining myself to comment hosting experiences with BigBlueButton, I can read that truth is said: Contabo VPS & Hetzner experiences were not the best. The list of hosting providers with good experience for us are: OVHcloud, SoYouStarti, AWS, GCC, DigitalOcean, Ionos, TailorMadeServers. The best is always to contact a commercial support provider for BigBlueButton since they have offer full professional hosting environements on top of the providers.

Thanks,

Ghazoi

[Mohamed BRAHMI]

thanks you

cheap is everywhere, not just at Contabo... So choose your words carefully.  If you want to run BBB, you should rent an appropriate server.  A VPS is also sufficient for small groups... this has nothing to do with the provider.  So please think about what you need beforehand.  A tour group will now not be transported on vacation with a small car.

I do have a BBB server installed in Contabo and it works fine. I've got the VPS S SSD server from Contabo.

BBB installation works without any problem on Ubuntu 18.04 server. But you have to enable IPV6 before proceed to install, as root execute

# enable_ip6

After that, just follow the oficial instructions to install on ubuntu server 18.04

good luck, have fun

We have BigBlueButton installed on a VPS M SSD at Contabo, for a course with about 100 students.

Each week we have a session with over 80 students connected without any trouble, even when our students are in Guatemala and our VPS is hosted in Germany.

Most of the time there is only 1 camera from the professor and only he is speaking. About 80% of the students join as listen only, but the other 20% make use of their microphones to ask questions to the teacher.

In our experience we are very pleased with the performance of the VPS.
