Join links not working any more after upgrading from 1.5.1 -> 1.5.2

[kahrpatrick]

I am using Greenlight with a self-hosted BBB server installed via bbb-install and updated to the latest 2.7.x release.

We started noticing that join links for users without an account stopped working after upgrading from 1.5.1 to 1.5.2.
I cloned the app from the most recent 1.5.1 backup and can confirm that the links are working fine with that version.

When visiting a join link on a Greenlight instance >= 1.5.2, an error screen appears after about 5 seconds. The frontend throws JS errors in the console.
There are no error messages in the apps log or the nginx log, nor in the BBB log.

Does anyone else notice this behaviour?

Update: I noticed that since 1.5.2, the following error is thrown when starting an instance:

`/home/cloudron` is not writable.
Bundler will use `/tmp/bundler20250305-1-8seal41' as your home directory temporarily.

I just tested with my BBB Server and against a BBB Loadbalancer with the following versions:

BBB v2.7.16
Cloudron: org.bigbluebutton.greenlight3.cloudronapp@1.7.0 / Greenlight 3.5.0

No issues like that

Thanks for checking!
With a fresh install of org.bigbluebutton.greenlight3.cloudronapp@1.7.0 / Greenlight 3.5.0 it works for me as well. So I assume there is an issue with the upgrade from 1.5.1 to 1.5.2.

Maybe you can upgrade further to 1.6.0 and try?

[kahrpatrick]

I was already using 1.6.0 when the problem came up. Using backups, I traced it back to 1.5.2.
I can reliably reproduce the problem by taking a 1.5.1 clone (that works perfectly) and updating it to 1.5.2.

It seems there was yet another update to Greenlight (3.5.1) . Wonder if that helps?

[kahrpatrick]

@joseph Unfortunately no.
