Hi people,

I use my server in bbb.comercia.io but it redirects to https://bbb.comercia.io/b

1) We need to change the url for another, we are still thinking about it, but for this question we will say it would be learn.comercia.io
2) We want to get rid off the /b at the end, so the rooms be learn.comercia.io/chapter1 instead of learn.comercia.io/b/chapter1

My BBB server is running version 2.4.0
docker-compose version 1.24.0, build 0aa59064

Thank you

Hi treebes,

it seems you're running Greenlight. If you're really not going to use it, I'd recommend you shut it down (docker container stop greenlight-v2) or perhaps remove it completely.
The way you get the /b is from different redirections in nginx. You can start by looking at /etc/bigbluebutton/nginx/greenlight.nginx and /etc/bigbluebutton/nginx/greenlight-redirect.nginx. In the latter you will see that the root path/folder (/) will return (return) a redirect (307) to /b. You can directly change this last value from /b to / and you should now have your redirection to the root path/folder configured in /etc/nginx/sites-available/bigbluebutton.
And, of course, don't forget to restart BBB (bbb-conf --restart).

Regards,

J.

Hi! Thank you for your advice, and no, we want to keep greenlight

Well, after reading in the comments of the code that it is highly suggested that it exists, we kept it but with concordance with other corporative URLs

Only to add to the answer of J., that there is also needed to check the file in /root/greenlight/.env

Also, restarting BBB alone didn't work, I had to reload Nginx
systemctl reload nginx
And greenlilght too
docker-compose down
docker-compose up -d

The only thing left is that we want to change the subdomain bbb to anything else, we are thinking several names currently, so I can't say something for sure, but we think that instead of bbb.comercia.io learn.comercia.io would suit better. How to achieve that change?

Thanks!
