Greenlight won't install

[Γιώργος Μαθιουδάκης]

Good evening
I upgraded to BBB 3.1 and while Greenlight was opening I could not enter the rooms.
I reinstalled my server, but neither BBB 3.0.x nor BBB 3.1.x is installing greenlight. The greenlight 3 folder is created in the root, but the data subfolder is not included.
When I go to install greenlight 3 with the command:
cd ~/greenlight-v3
docker pull bigbluebutton/greenlight:v3
docker-compose down
docker-compose up -d
it returns me:

client version 1.25 is too old. Minimum supported API version is 1.44, please upgrade your client to a newer version ERROR: client version 1.25 is too old. Minimum supported API version is 1.44, please upgrade your client to a newer version

Please can you help?
Thank you very much
George

Remove the old docker-compose binary

If which docker-compose shows something like /usr/local/bin/docker-compose:

sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

If it’s somewhere else, remove that path instead (but it’s usually /usr/local/bin if it was installed via curl or pip).

---

3️⃣ Create a simple wrapper that forwards docker-compose → docker compose

This way, any script (including bbb-install.sh) that calls docker-compose will actually use the new plugin:

sudo tee /usr/local/bin/docker-compose >/dev/null << 'EOF'

#!/bin/sh

exec docker compose "$@"

EOF

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

Now check:

docker-compose version

You should see something like Docker Compose version v2.x (coming from the plugin), not the old 1.25 client.

Thank you very much. I can't find anything. The server I'm installing BBB on is clean. So far I haven't had any problems.
Thanks again

Hi!

This was patched in the latest bbb-install.sh version, see https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bbb-install/pull/810

You can re-run the bbb-install command you used when installing.

Hi Anton, thanks for the reply.
On my test server I can't install BBB right now because the limit for letsencrypt has been reached (There were too many requests of a given type :: too many certificates (5) already issued for this exact set of identifiers in the last 168h0m0s, retry after 2025-11-30 19:42:47 UTC). So I have to wait until tomorrow.
On a live installation, however, can I run the bbb-install.sh command without fear? It's now running version 3.6.2 of letsencrypt
Thanks again
George
