Installing BigBlueButton + Greenlight

[Murendwa Ratshitimba]

Hi all,

I'm trying to install the BigBlueButton +  Greenlight V3 on ubuntu 22.04 running on a virtual Machine, How can I install it and what Options do use when executing the installation script.

Hi,

as always, the docs are your friend!

If you run into problems AFTER you have read the docs and tried to install BBB don't hesitate to ask the community.

Do have in mind that BBB 3 is still in alpha stage, so it's not (yet) recommended for production.

Regards,

J.

Thank Jean,

i followed the installation steps for version 2.7 got no problems under the line # Potential problems described below

and when I checked the services they're all working and when i accessed http://IP_ADDR/bigbluebutton/ i got the following page.

and when I ran http://IP_ADDR/b as per docs i got the following error.

What could I be missing? what steps can i take to resolve this issue?

Hi again,

BBB 2.7 seems to be installed and working. This is just the BBB server. You still need a frontend (Greenlight, Pilos, Moodle, etc) to start/stop your meetings.
Normally you would access Greenlight (GLv3) through the /b suffix but perhaps you didn't install GLv3? Or maybe the GLv3 docker container isn't running?

You could give more info about how you installed BBB so more people can help you e. g. the exact command with options you used to install BBB (bbb-install.sh).

Again, the docs are your friend!

Regards,

Hi Jean, I used the following command for the installation

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bigbluebutton/bbb-install/v3.0.x-release/bbb-install.sh  | bash -s -- -w -v jammy-300  -g

Hi,
you should add the -s directive for the domain name. I think the domain name is required for the Let´s Encrypt certificate (unless you use your own certificate).

Hi,

just like @Wolfgang mentioned, you still need to give the install script a few parameters.

See here for a complete list. Some of them are optional, some are mandatory.
