/etc/bigbluebutton/bbb-html5.yml

does not exist after install. If you want to override the settings.yml should you create the bbb-html5.yml from a copy of settings.yml or can you just put the config you want to override? Docs are not clear on this.

Update:

The docs say:
Any setting in this file overrides the corresponding setting in /usr/share/meteor/bundle/programs/server/assets/app/config/settings.yml

Which makes sense to me now. However the file doesn't exist and when created/edited one, it did not do anything (i did systemctl restart bbb-html5)

Hi there,

I use /etc/bigbluebutton/bbb-html5.yml on several servers (starting with 2.3-alpha7)

This is a sample `/etc/bigbluebutton/bbb-html5.yml` to confirm it works:

public:
  app:
    html5ClientBuild: 123456789

When you restart bbb-html5 you should see this client build in the client -> three dot menu -> About

I hope this helps,
Anton

Thanks Anton,
I re-created the file with your sample.

ally@bbb-test3:~$ ls -la /etc/bigbluebutton/
total 28
drwxr-xr-x   4 root          root          4096 Mar 18 01:09 .
drwxr-xr-x 112 root          root          4096 Mar 17 19:11 ..
drwxr-xr-x   2 root          root          4096 Mar 12 01:29 bbb-conf

ally@bbb-test3:~$
ally@bbb-test3:~$ cat /etc/bigbluebutton/bbb-html5.yml
public:
  app:
    html5ClientBuild: 123456789
ally@bbb-test3:~$

I tried with bigbluebutton ownership and root. I restarted with systemctl and created a meeting each time.
No changes.

Anything else I can try?

I think you need to be running 2.3-alpha8 for the override to work with settings.yml.

Regards,... Fred
