Hello! I want to develop BBB-HTML5 with a working BBB server. I read the docs, articles, asked AI, spend one week to no avail. It's always "Oops something went wrong" when joining a call.
PLEASE help me how do you run a working BBB server and at the same time run BBB-HML5 from the sources. Ideally with hot reload. And you can actually create and join calls. Any details would be appreciated! Thank you
What I tried:
1. I managed to install BBB on the VDS relatively quickly. Then I ran BBB-HTML5 locally and wanted to connect somehow to the VDS. Doesn't work.
2. I downloaded BBB-HTML5 source code right into my VDS, connected via SSH. Doesn't work at all.
3. I tried docker-dev
./create_bbb.sh --image=imdt/bigbluebutton:3.1.x-develop mybbb
when joining a meeting with API Mate - Oops, something went wrong
4. Docker dev 3.1
./create_bbb.sh --image=imdt/bigbluebutton:3.1.x-develop mybbb
the same Oops, something went wrong
6. I tried bigbluebutton/docker development setup
Building goes forever, constants errors here and there. Fix one error, another shows up.
What do you use? Does anybody develop BBB html5 client?
My system: Clean Ubuntu 22.04 in VMware
40 gb hard disk, 8 gb ram, 4 cores

Similar problem here...
I successfully installed docker-dev 3.0.x and all seems to work.
Any ideas?
I successfully installed docker-dev 3.0.x and all seems to work.
But for docker-dev 3.1.x I always get 'oops, something went wrong' when joining a meeting as a moderator or participant.
(I need 3.1.x because of LiveKit)
Ubuntu 24.04.03 LTS
user: bigbluebutton
user: bigbluebutton
firefox & chromium
Any ideas?

Hey,
Did you find a way to solve this issue? I am also stuck on same issue. I have also tried the approaches that you have mentioned and got the same issue "Oops, something went wrong".
On running bbb-conf --check it is working just fine without any potential problems. All services are running, yet I am not able to join the meeting.

It would be great if you could share some insights on this.
