Delete and Clear recordings from bbb server

[Sarin Wickramasinghe]

Hi All,

I’m working on maintaining our BigBlueButton (BBB) server and need to clear up some storage. Is there a way to delete all recordings and their raw files from the BBB server created before January 1, 2024, in one go?

Ideally, I’m looking for a command or script that can automate this process rather than manually deleting each recording. If you could point me to a resource or provide a script, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

yes, "there's a script for that". It's mentioned in the docs.

You can configure some settings in said script or you can write your own by taking a look.
Be aware though, that deleting the contents of the /var/bigbluebutton/recording/raw will NOT let you process a recording in the future through the bbb-record --build-all command.

Regards,

J.

Hi,

  To efficiently clear storage on your BigBlueButton (BBB) server by deleting all recordings and their raw files created before January 1, 2024, you can use the bbb-record command-line tool. This tool allows you to manage recordings directly from the terminal.

Best Regards,
