To summarize the installation procedure

  1. Create a new 64-bit Ubuntu 20.04 (or the latest is currently supported) server with a public IP and 4GB of memory (RAM) and 4 CPU. Note installation script does not work without these minimum requirements.
  2. Configure the DNS to point bbb.example.com to the public IP below.

Execute

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bigbluebutton/bbb-install/v2.7.x-release/bbb-install.sh | bash -s -- -w -v focal-270 -s bbb.example.com -e info@example.com

  1. Install Greenlight on the Management Dashboard.

Take the output of bbb-conf --secret on the BigBlueButton server and put these values to the following variables in /app/data/env of Greenlight using the File manager.

BIGBLUEBUTTON_ENDPOINT=

BIGBLUEBUTTON_SECRET=

Restart the Greenlight app.
