Q: How to install 2.6 in private lan?

[mike....@beardon.com]

Hi all,

I am trying to set up a BBB 2.6 in our private environment (that will not be visible to the outside world, ie Let's Encrypt).

I have tried using the -d switch, and placing privkey.pem and fullchain.pem certs in /local/certs.  My full command is:

wget -qO- https://ubuntu.bigbluebutton.org/bbb-install-2.6.sh | bash -s -- -v focal-260 -s my-bbb.my-domain.org -d -g -w

The install seems to go correctly, but at the last, when the status check runs, it throws a series of Connection Refused errors at the end:

root@my-bbb:~# bbb-conf --check

And just to follow thru on that last one:

root@my-bbb:~# grep beans.presentationService.defaultUploadedPresentation /usr/share/bbb-web/WEB-INF/classes/bigbluebutton.properties
beans.presentationService.defaultUploadedPresentation=${bigbluebutton.web.serverURL}/default.pdf

This is a fresh Ubuntu 20.04.05 LTS with 8 cores and 16GB RAM, patched.  It is a test environment, but I am wanting to get it as close to production ready as possible, as our users are clamoring for the 2.6 features.

Our current production version is 2.3, which seems quite different from 2.5 and 2.6, so I'm not up to speed on where things could be broken.  Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Mike

So if in the shell on bbb you

 

1. ping bbb.domain.com what do you get?
2. From your desktop in lan?

 

May need to set entry in your DNS server,   and also in /etc/hosts on bbb server.

 

wget https://bbb.domain.com/bigbluebutton/api  needs to return success.

 

Also the 2.6 bbb-install has bundled a coturn server, and is using haproxy in front of nginx.

 

Regards,

Stephen
