Hi

To keep costs down, I am going to try hosting from home. However, our ip is not static. After researching, I have found a company www.namecheap.com that has a system that makes a non static ip into a fixed or static one

https://www.namecheap.com/security/premiumdns.aspx

This needs a client like:

https://sourceforge.net/p/ddclient/wiki/Home/

My question is : does this client and approach constitute a web server client and will it interfere with the bbb server.

If no, great!

If yes, any alternative suggestions?

Thank you!
Karen

Hi Karen,  the issue with running the  server at home is the "upload bandwidth" of your internet provider will not support more then 1 or 2 users most likely.

BigBlueButton needs to have 100MB of up and down bandwidth on the server side to support real numbers.

You can internally on your home network run internal users,  but any external user will most likely saturate your uplink and receive a poor experience.

regards,
Stephen

Ok  I understand.

Then it would have to be only for development and testing purposes.

The bigger question is then will I be able to set up the bbb server and test the apis and attempt various integrations systems using the DNS
Forwarding system and have a functional (albeit limited service)

or will the bbb ports be conflicted in some way and it won't work at all?

Thx

The ports we use (from the documentation) are TCP ports 80, 443, 1935, 7443 if SSL otherwise 5066, and UDP ports 16384 - 32768 are accessible. The usual conflict is with port 80 because it's commonly used by webservers. I couldn't find any port specifications in those links so I can't give you a definitive answer, but it looks like that type of software would do more calling out rather than receiving calls in. My guess would be that there wouldn't be a port conflict.

For a cheap alternative try this solution, just use any online translate service, you will have no problems with ports and the like https://marcosbl.com/blog/servicio-dyndns-propio-dominio/2476/

Thanks!

I have enough Spanish to bash through it as is.

This looks very helpful.
