Fresh installation of BBB 2.3.9 on Ubuntu 18.04

[MIssac]

Hi everyone,

I was previously using BBB 2.2 with Ubuntu 16.04.

I reinstalled from scratch Ubuntu 18.04 and BBB 2.3 with the following install script:

wget -qO- https://ubuntu.bigbluebutton.org/bbb-install.sh | bash -s -- -v bionic-230-2.3.9 -s mydomain.com -e my.email  -g

I did not use '-w' option because I have set my own firewall, because I use port 30 for SSH.

I (successfully) migrated my former Greenlight database from my BBB 2.2 installation. I also installed Grafana/Prometheus for monitoring and it works fine.

First, I would like to thank the whole BBB team for their work on the install script, which eases life a lot :-D

I would have a few questions, if anyone can help...

1/ what would be the safest way to upgrade minor releases of BBB? I am not sure I understood the documentation correctly, I was planning to use

wget -qO- https://ubuntu.bigbluebutton.org/bbb-install.sh | bash -s -- -v bionic-230

Would it be ok?

I have a few custom configurations in /etc/bigbluebutton/bbb-web.properties and /etc/bigbluebutton/nginx/monitoring.nginx (for Grafana/Prometheus), I guess they will not be overriden?

2/ I have a very bad connection from where I am now, but anyway I am surprised to often (but not always) get this message when using 'bbb-conf --restart':

 Error: Could not connect to the configured hostname/IP address

But 'bbb-conf --check' shows no error and all services are running. I paste the output of 'bbb-conf --check' and my firewall status at the end of this message, in case it helps.

3/ I keep getting "Call failed (reason=IE error) (error 1004)" when trying to join the audio conference. When I installed BBB 2.3 it worked, but now the audio does not work any more and I cannot figure out why :-(

Audio conference from demo.bigbluebutton.org works fine.

My colleagues who have a much better Internet connection than I do not manage to reach the audio port either.

Any help would be much appreciated,

Mélanie

Hello everyone,

I am taking my first steps with BBB and Greenlight which I have successfully installed on my VPS. I would like you to show me how to properly install greenlight to customize it with the new installation of BBB 2.3.9 on Ubuntu 18.04. Thanks everyone.
