I would like to install the BBB server on Heroku with GreenLight. 
I'm familiar with AWS and it's very easy to choose the stack you want. 
but on Heroku it's different and i can't find any content pointing hosting BBB on Heroku. 

I'm willing to pay expert to set up BBB server and Green light For me on Heroku. 


Thanks in Advance

If your server meets (or exceeds) the minimum requirements



You should be able to install BigBlueButton.

Currently the BigBlueButton team only supports Ubuntu 16.04 with BigBlueButton version 2.2.x and Ubuntu 18.04 (and maybe 20.04 ?) with BBB version 2.3.x.
You might get something working using podman or docker, but you'll not get any support for that.

If you want to run BBB (and not just one small server for a few friends), then you'll want to use dedicated servers and on those just install Ubuntu and be happy. Stay away from VMware based virtualization or similar as that will result in bad audio and various other issues.

Hey Fred and Basisbit, Thanks for the quick response. I decided to go with DigitalOcean. 
The installation went smoothly but I'm getting this message " you must have the bigbluebutton html5 client installed to use this api demo" when i visit the site and try to initiate test. The html5 demo is installed.

Did you install BigBlueButton using SSL certificates?  If not, the client will not load.

Hey Fred Dixon. Thanks.
Yes, when I installed the demo and SSL cert, the server is working probably. 
I would like to ask you another question if you don't mind. 
I want to integrate BBB especially the green light interface into an app written on Laravel, hosted on Heroku. 
The plan is to create rooms on the menu when users click, they will see the green light dashboard, where they can create rooms, see their recordings 
Is that doable. What's the best way to integrate BBB into another product hosted on a another server. 


Thanks in advance.

Hi Kayd,

It's all doable, if you develop the integration.  For developing integrations, see the BigBlueButton API docs



Regards,... Fred

there is another cool project exist bbbatscale[1]
you can check if it's fits your needs. actually bbb servers can be accessed with api key. 
so your bbb servers could be totally separated from your management app.
