404 not found on html 5 client bigbluebutton docker

[Rediane Zemmouri]

Hello everyone,

I need to use the docker version of bbb, i installed it following the instructions in the docs and the flash version works with no problem. The html 5 client, though, isn't...

here's what happens when i try to access it through the demo : 

any hint ? 

Also, i'd love to change port 80 to 8080, so i tried running the container this way : 

docker run -p 8080:8080/tcp -p 1935:1935 -p 5066:5066 -p 3478:3478 -p 3478:3478/udp --name bigbluebutton bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton -h <IP_ADDR>

i also changed bigbluebutton nginx config so that it matches. when i do that, no client(even flash client) works.

Don't change the ports. It isn't going to work unless you have a very good knowledge of nginx and the individual components. http://docs.bigbluebutton.org/support/faq.html#we-recommend-running-bigbluebutton-on-port-80. The same also applies for 443 when you've got HTTPS access.

For the docker image, the Dockerfile is still set to 2.0, but it should be installing the HTML5 client. The docker repo hasn't been updated in awhile so there might be an issue with it. I wouldn't (and haven't) use it myself and would recommend a VM with and use the install script. You can install BBB 2.2 and the HTML5 client has a lot more features in that version.
