Hi all!

I tried installing BBB using the manual at https://docs.bigbluebutton.org/administration/install/ (v 2.6)  but I can't make it work. I have reinstalled it around 5 or 6 times by now. 

I have an Nginx Proxy Manager pointing to BBB, but, anyway, I can't access BBB after installation (I get a white screen that only says "Welcome to BigBlueButton!").

All the documentation I found regarding BBB + Reverse proxy is very old (V 2.2 and before). 

Would anyone have a more updated installation manual or fix for that?

Thanks!

Bob S.

Hi,

if the "only" thing you get is "Welcome to BigBlueButton" then your server is fine.
BBB is a backend. You need a frontend to access all BBB features.
I suggest you start with Greenlight. Install it and create your first meeting through GL.
The current and up to date documentation is here.

Regards,
J.

just open up 80 and 443 straight ( without npm during the setup to get the letsencryp things appear ) after that disable straight forwarding of 80 and 443 and enable for it and handle the letsencrypt via npm after
