Restart or finish the record & replay workflow after a crash

[Clément Gineste]

I'm looking for a procedure or documentation on this subject.

Background:
* BBB 2.7.x
* Simple architecture (no scalelite): standalone BBB server.
* Server stopped (sudden stop or real crash).
* Records in movements

With https://docs.bigbluebutton.org/development/recording/ we find the raw data (webcam, sound, screenshare) before they are moved to /var/bigbluebutton/recordings/raw.

What's next?
How do we make it production-ready, as we want a simple and robust retrieval process to handle unfinished recordings?

The goal is to manage a large number of sessions every day for hundreds of people.

Any advice is welcome ;)

Hi Clément,

Are you open to working with a commercial partner that is heavily involved in BigBlueButton development?  

The partner could earn some revenue (to support development) and you can get direct help with your production deployment.

See

If you are interested, reach out to them directly.

Regards,... Fred

According to this i guess i can touch a recorded.done and launch archive sequence. But because of the crash the external meeting for this session has not been generated. I guess meeting didn't end properly. Should i do something to end it properly or just touching the recorded.done will do the job ?

If you're wondering what happens when the server crashes, you could try processing a long recording and, when it starts processing, reboot the server.

Did the recording pick up where it last left off?

Hello Fred,

We prefer first to gain some internal XP before moving, if necessary, to more complex archictecture like scalelite. At the moment we are not seeking commercial partner. It could be an option in the future though !

But we're open to participate in BBB v3 devolpment with some PR. Nothing done yet.

Regards,

Hello Fred,

After reboot the rap-resque-worker took back the job and finished the replay ;)

My comment was more about the external id generated at the end of session (i don't at the specific step). But after launching the recording it gave me one if i recall.

I just added the .done on the good directory.

Only thing i noted it's that end date of meeting is still not set. Not a big deal but i got a tool (soon to be release) that list link for learning dashboards and avaible presentation through playback, GL is not needed here, and the end date shows the begining unix timestap (1970).

The system for hangling recording, processing and playback is pretty robust ;)

Regards,
