We've got BBB installed on a dedicated 32GB 16 core CPU server and Moodle LMS on another server. We also use Greenlight for a small number of direct connections. With over 2,000 users, it's becoming a challenge to schedule training so that we don't exceed our cap of around 250 concurrent users so we need to set up Scalelite in a cluster of four servers. Been in touch with some places that will do this for us, but there seems to be a backlog as responses are slow. Although we set up our initial 0.81 BBB server years ago and have been able to continually upgrade since then (2.2.5 now), we're not experts at this and the stakes are high these days, so I'm reaching out to the community for advice and support in the event we end up doing this ourselves. 

First, does this make sense? Install Scalelite and Coturn on a small server and install BBB on two other servers with the same specs as the existing BBB. Once everything is installed, link the three BBB and Moodle server to the Scalelite server. Each of the BBB servers is configured to use the turn server on the Scalelite server. Assuming this is the way to set up the cluster, I still don't understand how Greenlight is configured in the cluster. Does each BBB Greenlight also go through Scalelite or is it outside of the cluster and handled as direct connections? Secondly, in the event we have to do all of this ourselves, I'm sure we'll need help from the community, especially with Scalelite. Any other advice or suggestions for direct support would be much appreciated!

Dear David,

Scalelite is working very good. You can add as many servers you want behind and distribute rooms to these BBB servers..
After you setup scalelite, you can use scalelite url and secret in moodle and Greenlight..
So when you click to start room, scalelite do its job..

Best Regards,

CK
