# BigBlueButton
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
This Ansible role deploys [BigBlueButton](https://bigbluebutton.org/) using Docker Compose. It includes support for Greenlight, OIDC, LDAP, TURN/STUN, health checks, and a modular `.env` setup. This role is ideal for educational institutions and teams requiring a self-hosted video conferencing solution.
|
|
|
|
> 🔧 **Note**: The database layer should be decoupled in a future release to improve modularity and integration.

|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
This role provides a fully automated deployment of [BigBlueButton](https://bigbluebutton.org/) using Docker Compose on Arch Linux. It manages the entire lifecycle of the deployment, from cloning the upstream Docker repository and generating the `.env` configuration to customizing `docker-compose.yml` for volume usage, WebSocket proxying, and optional LDAP/OIDC integration.
|
|
|
|
The setup includes conditional Greenlight activation, WebRTC support via TURN/STUN, and various fixes for known container orchestration issues. The role is modular and integrates seamlessly with the Infinito.Nexus infrastructure, including reverse proxy configuration, domain management, and secrets templating.
