Hello everyone,

after introducing our project on this platform last month, we have officially released our code to the public. For those who haven't heard of us, we are BBB@Scale, an orchestration and administration platform for BigBlueButton servers. Our main motivation is to provide a solution for large-scale online learning scenarios.

For more information and if you want to try out the project for yourself, visit our gitlab page at https://gitlab.com/bbbatscale/bbbatscale.

We hope that you enjoy our work as much as we do and appreciate any feedback from the community. If there are any issues with the installation process or in the code, please let us know by putting up an issue on our repository.

On behalf of the entire BBB@Scale team
Thank you for all of your encouragement and support

Hi,
Thank you for sharing project with the community. I wonder where is the recording files located in your project. Like scalite is there any nfs sharing on a server or different architecture.

Hi,

This is a frontend that integrates with the BBB API. I'm not sure what
you mean by "API support". Also, I'm not sure why you'd integrated with
LMS when there are existing LMS tools available.

Thanks, Matias

@matias, because it is working as loadbalancer and you will have to
route api calls throug this bbb@scale otherwise they won't go to the
correct server :-) same for lms.

cheers

Hey, 

no it does not use Scalite.
You simply add server in the frontend. If you have setup everything according to our getting started guide, the script picks up the health status of the servers and schedules meetings on the next server for given tenant.

At the moment the recordings feature does not work. Due to time reasons we decided to ship this full feature in one of the upcoming releases, since our setup is complicated and would delay our going live.

Self hosted. But you can use every common cloud provider for that.

Hey,

we are working on a full documentation of our infrastructure, which includes the recordings handling. At the moment the feature is not released within version 1.0.0, but will be released in one of the upcoming releases

At the moment not. We are working on an API, that would allow LMS (for example moodle) to communicate with BBB @ Scale.

Hi Brandon,

Thanks a lot for sharing this with us! It looks amazing, looking forward for the next release to use recordings as well.

Thanks

Hi Brandon and team, 

Thank you very much for sharing your great work. 
As a side note, for anyone needs a file sharing tool rather then nfs, you can check GlusterFS for small clusters (6-30) and CEPH for really big ones (30-5.000). 
I will also share my setup notes soon for GlusterFS and CEPH with Ansible.

Live long and prosper \o/  🖖

External API was introduced around 07/2020.
Development is ongoing and a lot of features have been added to bbb@scale since the beginnings. 
Please take a look on our development page https://gitlab.com/bbbatscale/bbbatscale.

Official Stable Release today 3.3.1 and under heavy development 4.0.0-alpha.11

Sincerely 
Sergio

Thank you Sergio,
Can it be used with Moodle?
I wanted to try it but the demo is not working.
