Before start installing Bigbluebutton, we need to check
1) Minimum server requirements 2) Pre-installation checks
Install BigBlueButton:
wget -qO- https://ubuntu.bigbluebutton.org/bbb-install.sh | bash -s – -w -a -v xenial-22 -s example.exphosted.com -e thrikalsamys@peopleone.co
The above command install latest bigbluebutton version 2.3
you can check the status of your server with bbb-conf –check. When you run this command, you should see output similar to the following
sudo bbb-conf –check
You can also use sudo bbb-conf –status to check that all the BigBlueButton processes have started and are running
sudo bbb-conf –status
You can integrate BigBlueButton with one of the 3rd party integrations by providing the integration the server’s address and shared secret. You can use bbb-conf to display this information using bbb-conf –secret
sudo bbb-conf –secret
URL: http://bbb.example.com/bigbluebutton/ Secret: 330a8b08c3b4c61533e1d0c334
Restart your server
You can restart and check your BigBlueButton server at any time using the commands
sudo bbb-conf –restart sudo bbb-conf –check
Assign a hostname
For any production BigBlueButton server, you need to assign it a hostname.
sudo bbb-conf –setip HOSTNAME
For example, if your hostname was bigbluebutton.example.com, the command would be
sudo bbb-conf –setip bigbluebutton.example.com
At this point, you have BigBlueButton server listening to an IP address (or hostname) and responding to API requests. However, if you tried to login from the server’s default page with a browser, you would get an error
Configure SSL
Depending on your certificate authority (CA), you should now have 2 or more files, as follows:
Certificate Private key
Intermediate certificate (there may be more than one, or could be none) The next step is to install the files on the server.
Create the directory /etc/nginx/ssl: $ sudo mkdir /etc/nginx/ssl
And now create the private key file for nginx to use (replace the hostname in the filename with your own). In addition, fix the permissions so that only root can read the private key:
# cat >/etc/nginx/ssl/bigbluebutton.example.com.key «'END' Paste the contents of your key file here END
chmod 0600 /etc/nginx/ssl/bigbluebutton.example.com.key
