BigBlueButton 2.5.0-alpha.5 released
Anton Georgiev
This alpha iteration of BigBlueButton 2.5 includes some major changes to the environment BigBlueButton runs in. We have upgraded to use Ubuntu 20.04 (instead of 18.04), Java 11 (instead of Java 8), Tomcat 9 (instead of Tomcat 8)...
We do not support upgrading an existing server (or dev environment) from Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04, only clean install of 20.04. The actual Ubuntu upgrade is the easy part. But Tomcat, yq, nginx conf, etc would make it too messy to do reliably.
This means that even upgarding from BBB 2.5-alpha-4 to (upcoming) BBB 2.5-alpha-5 will not be supported due to the above changes.
Note that it runs on Ubuntu Focal (20.04).
Other important changes included are:
- Big refactor of recording presentation publishing scripts with optimizations
- expanded use of the create parameter disabledFeatures for proper feature disabling
- new bridge (experimental) for audio
- new lock setting lockSettingsHideViewersCursor
- additional features disabling via disabledFeatures=
- moving all default nginx configuration from packages from /etc/bigbluebutton/nginx to /usr/share/bigbluebutton/nginx

As always, we welcome feedback on this latest update.

At https://test25.bigbluebutton.org/ - the sound works, well
Did I set up my own BigBlueButton 2.5-alpa server?
No installation errors occurred.
The server has only public IP.
The way out, sudo bbb-conf --check, is:
# sudo bbb-conf --check

I did both. The sound is working now.
All good!

Great work. Please note that bbb-install.sh will not work and gives a miss leading message, only bbb-install-250.sh works with the following message:
# Potential problems described below
# The following properties in
/usr/share/bbb-web/WEB-INF/classes/bigbluebutton.properties have
no value:
#
..............
# Warning: The setting of for local_ip_v4 in
#
# /opt/freeswitch/etc/freeswitch/vars.xml
#
# does not match the local IP address (164.92.191.182).
# (This is OK if you've manually changed the values)
Fixing the above file as per https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton/issues/14670 resulted in:
# Potential problems described below
# The following properties in
/usr/share/bbb-web/WEB-INF/classes/bigbluebutton.properties have
no value:
#
............
#
# Kurento will try to connect to 164.92.191.182 but FreeSWITCH is
listening on 164.92.191.182
[2a03:b0c0:3:d0::143b:f001] for port 5066
#
# To fix, run the commands
#
# sudo yq w -i
/usr/local/bigbluebutton/bbb-webrtc-sfu/config/default.yml
freeswitch.sip_ip 164.92.191.182
[2a03:b0c0:3:d0::143b:f001]
# sudo chown bigbluebutton:bigbluebutton
/usr/local/bigbluebutton/bbb-webrtc-sfu/config/default.yml
However, the commands:
yq w -i
/usr/local/bigbluebutton/bbb-webrtc-sfu/config/default.yml
freeswitch.sip_ip 164.92.191.182
chown bigbluebutton:bigbluebutton
/usr/local/bigbluebutton/bbb-webrtc-sfu/config/default.yml
Had no effect. Also there is a tiny bug reported in
https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton/issues/14673 on FF
ubuntu 18.04
But BBB is working as expected using GreenLight
