# 📦 BigBlueButton 3.0 Docker

Version: 3.0.0-alpha.1 | [Changelog](CHANGELOG.md) | [Issues](https://github.com/bigbluebutton/docker/issues) | [Upgrading](docs/upgrading.md) | [Development](docs/development.md)

- Full IPv6 support
- Runs on any major linux distributon (Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS,...)

## What is not implemented yet

## Install

3. Clone this repository
   ```sh
   $ git clone https://github.com/bigbluebutton/docker.git bbb-docker

4. Run setup:

5. (optional) Make additional configuration adjustments
   ```bash

   # always recreate the docker-compose.yml file after making any changes
