BBB location of recordings

[Darren Rickets]

Hi,

We are about to move our VLE's to moodle and want to use BBB. The
issue that i have is that i want to move the location of the
recordings off the server onto other storage. it may be the case of
adding extra hard disks but i am unsure of how to this. I am not a
programmer and barely get past with Linux so any help ideas etc would
be grateful.

Kind regards

Darren

Hi Darren,

All the recordings are stored in the 

   /var/bigbluebutton

If you create a directory on an external volume, which is mounted and accessible from the BigBlueButton file system (such as via NFS), such as 

  /mnt/external/bigbluebutton

you can have BigBlueButton use that external storage for recordings by having /var/bigbluebutton point to that directory

  sudo mv /var/bigbluebutton /var/bigbluebutton.old

  sudo ln -s /mnt/external/bigbluebutton /var/bigbluebutton

Now, if you go to /var and do

  ls -al

you'll see 

  /var/bigbluebutton ->  /mnt/external/bigbluebutton

Restart BigBlueButton

  sudo bbb-conf --restart

and try recording a session.  You'll see it appear in

  /mnt/external/bigbluebutton

Regards,... Fred

This is a really old post and it probably would have been better to just open a new one.

It looks like you're going to have to manually correct the directory owners. The easiest way would probably be to set up a quick BBB VM and compare the directory permissions between them until your BBB server matches the VM.
