Hello Dear Community members,

I am facing with a problem while installing Greenlight front end

I installed everything and did it as written in guide.

But the service of greenlight not works while entering the url with /b it shows not found and the service itself gets down every 1-2 minute

i will really appreciate if you help me.

Also i get error while checking

Faraday::SSLError: SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=error: certificate verify failed

Hi Ismayil,

Can you try simply restarting GreenLight, see


Just follow the steps above (you don't need to make any env changes).

Next, if that does not work, can you try setting up a new server using BigBlueButton + SSL + GreenLight using bbb-install.sh, see


This will automate the configuration of the SSL (using the excellent Lets Encrypt service) and install GreenLight.

Let us know if either of the above gets you going.

Regards,.. Fred

You'll probably need to add the CA to the Ubuntu cert store and some applications use their own cert stores that you'll need to modify. I believe tomcat is one application where you'll need to follow their documentation to get it to accept your internal CA.

A self-signed certificate certainly won't work.   It appears that GreenLight -- more specifically the GreenLight rails app running within a docker container -- isn't able to validate the certificate.

You could try logging into the GreenLight container and doing a wget to a file on your BigBlueButton server -- do you get an error.

Here's an example of doing this on our demo server

# docker ps
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                             COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                  NAMES

root@fred-perf:~# docker exec -it 763c24bb76c0 /bin/bash

2018-04-21 03:00:04 (251 MB/s) - 'default.pdf' saved [141727/141727]

Here, the prompt 'root@763c24bb76c0' is from a BASH prompt inside the docker container.  The above command was able to download default.pdf via https (and accept and validate the certificate).
