Re: [bigbluebutton-dev] Debian/Proxmox Installation

[Gerry McGowan]

Hi
I now have a working BigBlueButton running on Debian/Proxmox server in Container (OpenVZ) using Ubuntu 10.04 template.
I will follow up with a post on http://groups.google.com/group/bigbluebutton-setup to show steps I used to set up this server. I am a relative novice but I would welcome any feedback.

Thanks to Fred who sorted my problem with log in as follows:
I needed to provide a fully qualified domain name. In my /etc/hosts, I had specified hostname.domainname
i.e. :

10.0.1.101  bbb101.gerrydomain  bbb101

but bbb101.gerrydomain did not resolve anywhere. I should have set up a domain name using gerrydomain.com so then /etc/hosts should have read

10.0.1.101  bbb101.gerrydomain.com bbb101

then to get BigBlueButton to process incoming requests from
bbb101.gerrydomain.com use the command:

sudo bbb-conf --setip bbb101.gerrydomain.com


Hope the above is a help to others.

Hi Gerry,

Can you please let me know where you got your Ubuntu template? (the link) and also if you followed the exact instructions from here to do the setup? 

http://code.google.com/p/bigbluebutton/wiki/InstallationUbuntu#1._Install_the_BigBlueButton_apt-get_repository_key

P.S. How do you know it installed correctly? did you not see any Errors at the end? and what do these two commands return:

sudo bbb-conf --clean

sudo bbb-conf --check

Thanks

Hi
I have set up proxmox on Debian and used Ubuntu 10.04 template to install BBB 0.71. Install went ok but I was not able to launch bbb. This may be a simple error or lack of knowledge on my part as I'm not an expert. I have set up bbb before successfully.  I am working with a local school to develop a dedicated server for distance learning. I can give access to this server if that helps.
Thanks to everyone for their great work.
Regards
Gerry

Actually it fails on Template 10.04 as well with message coming up as before right after command "sudo apt-get install bbb-voice-voice-conference":

*************************************************

The following Linux command line was extracted from /etc/default/grub or the `kopt' parameter in GRUB Legacy's menu.lst.  Please verify that it is correct, and modify it if necessary.

OK

I tried FreeSwitch method as well but that fails at "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:freeswitch-drivers/freeswitch-nightly-drivers"

Not recognizing add-apt-repository as a command.

Maybe your guess is right and it's not stock.

Actually my bad. I got Ubuntu 10.10 template thinking it would be even better :-)

I am going to try this on Ubuntu 10.04 template from here and report back:

Hmm ... checking out http://www.proxmox.com/products/proxmox-ve.

We've not tested BigBlueButton under this environment ... may take a
shot at testing it in the next iteration ... if it's a stock 10.04 it
should work.

Regards,... Fred

I am very interested in your work. I have been feelign out proxmox for awhile, but found that the performance using asterisk was not good because asterisk requires a timing source. Now that BBB uses freeswitch that may have changed?

 

Curious as to what your hardware and vm configuration is, and how the performance of BBB is using OpenVZ in proxmox, any issues you have with it etc. And finaly if you are willing to share your container, iso, etc to so others can leverage yoru work with proxmox?

 

And are you using proxmox in a production environment? Hows that going?

 

thanks!

 

Nate

Hi Nate
I am just putting together a summary of my server install and links to resources I used to set things up (I depend on google quite a bit). I  should have this posted on bigbluebutton-setup later today. It is a summary of what I did as a relative novice so I thought it may encourage others to trial and improve.  I am using the server to trial various open source software solutions suitable for education so its not a production server. I can give you access to the server if you wish to test. I am keen to learn more and ultimately end up with a better install.
Regards
Gerry
