Overview

This repository contains the scripts create a single docker container running BigBlueButton.

To run BigBlueButton in Docker, run the command

docker run -p 80:80/tcp -p 1935:1935/tcp -p 5066:5066/tcp -p 16384-16484:16384-16484/udp -p 2202:2202 --cap-add=NET_ADMIN --name bigbluebutton bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton -h <YOUR_HOST_IP>

Make sure you provide the host IP at the end of the command. This will take some time to pull the image from Docker hub.

For details see the setup instructions.

Once running, you can navigate to http://<YOUR_HOST_IP> to access your BigBlueButton server.

Future Plans

Our goal was to allow developers to run BigBlueButton server with a single command. This Docker image is not meant for production use, but rather for testing and trying out BigBlueButton.

Still, it good step towards separating BigBlueButton into individual components for running under docker-compose or kubernetes.
