Ansible scripts for setting up BigBlueButton on Ubuntu 16.04

Ansible Scripts for BigBlueButton

This repository contains a set of scripts setting up and managing BigBlueButton. They are based on a set of scripts by Sven. Thanks, Sven!

Important Notes

• Right now, the installation works on Ubuntu 16.04 64bit since that is the operation system officially supported. Anything else will likely not work
• The ansible vault in group_vars/all/vault.yml is meant as an example. The password is 123. Reencode it using a proper password.
  • Make sure to generate new secrets and encrypt them in the ansible vault at group_vars/all/vault.yml. Never use the vars set in here for production.
• The certificates provided in here are just dummy certificates and will only be deployed if no other certificates are in place. Once deployed, replace them with valid certificates and reload Nginx.

Initialization

Greenlight on Ubuntu 16.04

# Execute and change the password
% docker exec greenlight-v2 bundle exec rake admin:create

bigbluebutton-ansible's Issues

Make bbb-html5 not run as root

…why!

Add LDAP Configuration

Do we need a TURN server

https://docs.bigbluebutton.org/2.2/setup-turn-server.html#setup-a-turn-server

Use low quaility camera by default

Monitoring

Disable red5

Red5 is installed and started as part of BigBlueButton although it is probably unnecessary when you are using only the HTML5 client.

Add to documentation

Hi, thanks for the great work here. May I suggest that you add this to the list of community-sourced Ansible installs over at the documentation?

Additionally, it seems you have spotted multiple improvements that can be made to existing roles, such as disabling red5. This is great and very helpful to other devs of their own Ansible roles.

Lastly, the other roles linked in existing community-sourced repositories already include scalelite integration. We should perhaps look at unifying these roles and standardize them in one repository.

Scalelite

Option to deactivate recordings

% grep -n allowStartStopRecording /usr/share/bbb-web/WEB-INF/classes/bigbluebutton.properties
203:#allowStartStopRecording=true
204:allowStartStopRecording=false

…unfortunately, that's not all.

Listen to localhost if possible
