bbb-easy-join

An easy frontend to BigBlueButton without signups - everybody can just entry a meeting room name, the first user gets moderator level access.

Setup

Tested with an BBB instance installed with bbb-install.sh.

Checkout this repository to /var/www/bbb-easy-join

git clone https://github.com/stadtulm/bbb-easy-join.git /var/www/bbb-easy-join
sudo chown -r bigbluebutton: /var/www/bbb-easy-join
sudo -iu bigbluebutton
cd /var/www/bbb-easy-join
npm install

Create an .env file (use .env.sample as a template) and enter your BBB API URL and Secret there. You can get these by running sudo bbb-conf --secret.

For serving the pages, copy bbb-easy-join.nginx to /etc/bigbluebutton/nginx/. If there are already greenlight-redirect.nginx and/or greenlight.nginx, rename (remove the .nginx suffix) or delete them.

If you want to keep the service running, the systemd service file bbb-easy-join.service can be copied to /etc/systemd/system/ and activated by sudo systemctl daemon-reload, sudo systemctl enable bbb-easy-join and sudo systemctl start bbb-easy-join.

Note

Your BigBlueButton Instance is then (if not only reachable from inside your network) public, everybody can create and moderate/present in a meeting. Therefore, you may want to think about disabling recordings, the security of accepting presentation files etc.
