BigBlueButton

Description

This Ansible role deploys BigBlueButton 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 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.

By default, BigBlueButton is deployed with best-practice hardening, modular secrets, and support for multiple authentication methods and scalable storage backends.
