Ansible scripts for setting up BigBlueButton on Ubuntu 16.04

Ansible Scripts for BigBlueButton

This repository contains a set of scripts setting up and managing BigBlueButton. They are based on a set of scripts by Sven. Thanks, Sven!

Important Notes

• Right now, the installation works on Ubuntu 16.04 64bit since that is the operation system officially supported. Anything else will likely not work
• The ansible vault in group_vars/all/vault.yml is meant as an example. The password is 123. Reencode it using a proper password.
  • Make sure to generate new secrets and encrypt them in the ansible vault at group_vars/all/vault.yml. Never use the vars set in here for production.
• The certificates provided in here are just dummy certificates and will only be deployed if no other certificates are in place. Once deployed, replace them with valid certificates and reload Nginx.

Todo

Here are some things to expand on:

• Adding more configuration options.
• Adding initial user setup
• Improve the TLS setup for Nginx
• Making this work on other distributions
• Adding support for the Scalable load balancer for BigBlueButton
