How to install BigBlueButton web conference server.

The minimum requirements for a BigBlueButton server are

  • Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit OS running Linux kernel 4.x
  • 8 GB of memory with swap enabled (16 GB of memory is better)
  • 4 CPU cores (8 is better)
  • TCP ports 80 and 443 are accessible
  • UDP ports 16384 – 32768 are accessible
  • Port 80 is not in use by another application

For a server intended for production, we additionally recommend:

  • 500G of free disk space (or more) for recordings
  • 250 Mbits/sec bandwidth (symmetrical) or more
  • Dedicated (bare metal) hardware
  • A hostname (such as bbb.example.com) for setup of a SSL certificate
  • IPV4 and IPV6 address

For Installation on Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit server with a public IP address and registered domain name , to install/update to the latest build of BigBlueButton 2.2 first SSH into the server as root and run the following command:

 

1- Check your server is being resolve with your public IP . For example I am using registered domain name iqra.gkhan.in

#dig iqra.gkhan.in @8.8.8.8

2- Now install the  BigBlueButton server with below command.

wget -qO- https://ubuntu.bigbluebutton.org/bbb-install.sh | bash -s -- -v xenial-220 -a

3- Now install SSL certificates otherwise VOICE and VIDEO will not work.

wget -qO- https://ubuntu.bigbluebutton.org/bbb-install.sh | bash -s -- -v xenial-220 -s bbb.example.com -e info@example.com

change  your registered domain name and email address with your registered name and email address .

4-  Install Green lite

wget -qO- https://ubuntu.bigbluebutton.org/bbb-install.sh | bash -s -- -v xenial-220 -s bbb.example.com -e info@example.com -g

cd greenlight/
docker exec greenlight-v2 bundle exec rake admin:create

command will create an admin account and set a default password

If you want to setup BigBlueButton 2.2 with a TLS/SSL certificate and GreenLight, you can do this all with a single command:
