      @luckow These are good points. I don't think its a bad idea to have the option (like with Jitsi) still but BBB specifically should stay out. Especially when considering how resource hungry it is and that it requires older versions of Ubuntu. That being said Cloudron should probably never be used for truly large scale conferences simply because those tasks are better suited for distributed setups behind a loadbalancer as you said.

      I did also want to mention that there are cloudron instances that have more resources available. I'm running an i3-9100 and 128GB of RAM. My CPU and 300Mbps network bandwidth are the bottlenecks now and would still not be suited to this sort of high load scenario (large conferences)

      I type things and sometimes those things end up in your browser. ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

        @atrilahiji I'm increasingly inclined to agree - and the Greenlight interface being available and usable by Cloudron LDAP seems like the best of all worlds for that split. That's a really elegant solution that meets needs in my opinion for anyone who needs heavier-duty conferencing.

            BBB 2.3 that'll work on Ubuntu 18.04 is getting there (currently alpha-8) and with Cloudron 7.0 we should be getting multi-host support, which would make it easier to give BBB it's own server.

            I'd still love it on here! ๐Ÿ˜„

              @jdaviescoates yeah same. For me itโ€™s mostly because Iโ€™m cheap. If I can avoid paying for a VPS I want to try. Everything I run now (except for my BBB backend) is on my home server

                  Version 2.3 just released
                  https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton/releases/tag/v2.3.0

                  But the documentation is not yet up to date, especially about the installation which is now possible on Ubuntu 18.04 and about the improvements and new features.

                      Use the "official" ansible role for the deployment -> https://github.com/ebbba-org/ansible-role-bigbluebutton/tree/develop/2.3

                                  If you need a nice default presentation which explains the BBB-UI go to Presentation_Slides -> BBB-default-slides_en.pdf https://cloud.ebbba.org/s/Q2i9FqZaPdjQKmM

                                    @luckow I have one in Southern California and another in Dallas, TX. Everything except presentations work (screen sharing, polls, chat, voice/video, presence, CC, etc all good). Will figure out presentations in a day or so.

                                    DM me if you wanna give it a spin.

                                      Did you use ansible? I just fixed a permission issue with bbb-web and bbb-html5 which blocked presentation parsing.

                                          Any updates on a cloudron deploy-able package? I'd pay a separate fee for this app on a separate server, no questions asked.
