Wait for the configurable turn app on Cloudron or install a coturn yourself. The installation process for a dedicated BBB server is painless. We have Grafana and Prometheus for the metrics of BBB servers. We can use Moodle, Nextcloud and WordPress as alternative frontends for BBB servers. We have Greenlight as a frontend for dedicated BigBlueButton infrastructure. Let's make this app better for our use case (having a self hosted videoconference for our family and friends meetings). (My) conclusion: We have Kopano Meet as an app. In short, to have a reliable infrastructure for videoconferencing, you need a lot of time to dig deep into the subject. You need a lot of customisation under the hood. For really huge conferences you need a dedicated 10 Gbit network. Because of latency, you need a hosting provider close to most of the people using the video conference.

For schools, you need a cluster of BBB nodes and an upstream load balancer. Better use bare metal instead of cheap VMs.

The underlying software stack is real-time critical. Second: What is the background to this request? A video conference with friends? Say up to 10 people on the server? A combination of moodle and BigBlueButton for your local school? All my experience with video conferencing for larger groups brings me to the conclusion: forget these apps on Cloudron. Maybe later, it's possible to configure this app. Good news: We have a turn server as an app on Cloudron. There are so many stupid networks / firewalls that a turn server is mandatory. I would like to throw my 2 cents into this discussion.įirst: We need a turn server on port 443 and 80 to help people join conferences. For running small sessions 2-5 People or even 10 it could work out.īut since BBB is running alongside other Apps this could lead to quite a problem if to many people turn on their webcam.įrom time to time there is an app request for jitsi & BigBlueButton here in the forum. (Which I fully support)Īlso BBB takes a lot of resources. The turn server should now act like as a MITM (big empasis - like a) so this client can use webRTC via turn.īut since it's running on port 5349/3478 its useless.Īfaik girish and nebulon are aware of this but it's not a big priority right now. In short terms, a app is needed for turn, so the turn can listen to port 80/443. Problem is, its a docker container cloudron/turn:1.1.0 running on port: listening-port=3478 There is a turn addon default by Cloudron. I can share this 2.3-draft where you could get some information about current state of 2.3. This only sets false expectations and leads to bad code. We will not give a release date because we only ship a functional product and don't work with due dates. Here a quote from him, which I gather from my memory (all statements without guarantee): I also talked to Fred Dixon some weeks before last Christmas about the state of 2.3. Will add said in BigBlueButton - web conferencing system for on-line bbb-install.sh supports installing BigBlueButton 2.3 and coturn on Ubuntu 18.04.Greenlight has no own Icon sadly, I would suggest the BBB Icon but in Green?.Will add the test for admin login as well (above issue again, hmm so static admin e-mail would be better?).What would be the status quo to for this type of issue?

So either I have to do a better job to explain how to get the E-Mail address from Terminal or the log or use a static e-mail address.

As far as I am aware of I can not write the POSTINSTALL.md dynamically to display the env CLOUDRON_MAIL_SMTP_USERNAME. CLOUDRON_MAIL_SMTP_USERNAME variable from e-mail addon also noted in the POSTINSTALL.md. The Admin E-Mail address is the Mail FROM Address aka.The postinstall docs need to mention the fact that the backend has to be adjusted to not use the default test backend.Since it is only the webfrontend as far as I can tell, the icon has to somehow reflect this.I was not sure how to login with the pre-setup admin, since I didn't know the admin email address.I took a brief look at the app and overall it appears to work. Said in BigBlueButton - web conferencing system for on-line learning:
