# ====================================
# CUSTOMIZATION
# ====================================

[... add rest of sample.env here ...]

• regenerate docker-compose.yml
$ ./scripts/generate-compose
• you can than start it with
  $ docker-compose up -d
• view the logs with
  $ docker-compose logs -f
• and access the API via
  https://mconf.github.io/api-mate/#server=https://10.7.7.1/bigbluebutton/api&sharedSecret=SuperSecret
  • At some point your browser will warn you about an invalid certificate, but you can press "Accept the Risk and Continue" / "Proceed to 10.7.7.1 (unsafe)"

Notes

• Joining a room via Greenlight currently leads to a "401 session not found" error (see https://github.com/alangecker/bigbluebutton-docker/issues/66). Use the API Mate instead
