Installing BBB 2.3 on a private network

[Jewel Joseph]

Hi,

I am new to BBB.

Can BBB be installed on a local server that does not have access to the internet (can provide access to the internet during installation )

Can I use a self-signed certificate for authentication?

Thanks and regards,

Jewel Joseph Aloor

Hi Jewel,

yes, you can do that. We have such a setup. I wouldn't recommend a self-signed certificate, but your own PKI - your browsers need to trust the certificates or you'll get all kinds of strange problems (at least scary certificate warnings). There is also a small problem with node.js - it needs to accept the CA as well or your presentations won't show up - a little patch to systemd_start.sh adding "export NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS=..."

You should also disable STUN/TURN.

HTH,

Jamma

Thank you, Jama .S, for your support.

Do you by any chance have documentation on how to set up like this or any link that might help?

I couldn't find documentation on how to install BBB 2.3 step by step . However, there is a step by step installation for 2.2 on the BBB website. 

2.3 only has the single line 30 minute script for installation where it uses lets-encrypt for SSL.

Thanks and regards,

you can use the install script without using LE (omit the -e option)

I have used a dns challenge letsencrypt installation then ran the bbb-install script and it works great.

for example:

certbot --manual certonly -d bbb-dev-local.domain.com --preferred-challenges dns

then run install script:

wget -qO- https://ubuntu.bigbluebutton.org/bbb-install.sh | bash -s -- -v bionic-230 -s bbb-dev-local.domain.com -a -w -e your...@mail.com -l -x

Hi Jewel,

sorry, I don't have such a documentation, just some hints:

1. ensure DNS lookup for your internal server name works
2. create SSL certificates using your own PKi, put them into /local/certs/ as privkey.pem and fullkey.pem
3. call bbb-install.sh with -d to make it use those certificates
4. check  /etc/kurento/modules/kurento/WebRtcEndpoint.conf.ini - there should be NO STUN servers and externalIPv4= should be correct (bbb-install.sh tries to set that correctly)
5. ensure that your server has full connectivity to all clients - no firewall blocking UDP or somesort (otherwise you'd need an additional internal STUN/TURN server)

HTH,

Jamma.
