Bbb-install option

 

-d                     Skip SSL certificates request (use provided certificates from mounted volume) in /local/certs/

 

In bbb-install, place the fullchain and key pems in /local/certs and run bbb-install.sh

 

Refer to the source code for 2.7 bbb-install.

 

https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bbb-install/blob/v2.7.x-release/bbb-install.sh

 

good luck, and stay safe.

Subject: [bigbluebutton-setup] install manual ssl

 

Hi everyone,

I have installed several BigBlueButton servers using the following command:

I did not use the -e option for the following reasons:

Currently, international internet in my country has been completely cut off for 40 days. There is no connectivity to the outside world, so we cannot pass the HTTP Let's Encrypt challenge.

I added my domain in Cloudflare and obtained the SSL values from an external server using the DNS challenge, then transferred the files to my server in Iran.

Now my servers are successfully connected to BigBlueButton, but none of them have SSL. I need to install the SSL certificates manually.

According to the BigBlueButton 2.7 SSL documentation, the certificates are located in /etc/haproxy and are not related to Nginx. I converted the cert and private key files to match the correct format as in the examples, into a file named certbundle.pem.

I also used sudo bbb-conf --setip to reintroduce the main domain, and the domain and IP are also set in /etc/hosts.

I would really appreciate guidance on how I can activate SSL for these servers so that I can use them securely.

Thank you!
