## :rocket: Install it
|
||
The easiest way to install this app is by using the [Nextcloud app store](https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/bbb).
|
||
If you like to build from source, please continue reading.
|
||
|
||
To install it change into your Nextcloud's apps directory:
|
||
|
||
cd nextcloud/apps
|
||
|
||
Then run:
|
||
|
||
git clone https://github.com/sualko/cloud_bbb.git bbb
|
||
|
||
Then install the dependencies using:
|
||
|
||
make build
|
||
|
||
|
||
## :gear: Configure it
|
||
Get your BBB API url and secret by executing `sudo bbb-conf --secret` on your
|
||
BBB server.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
$ sudo bbb-conf --secret
|
||
|
||
URL: https://bbb.your.domain/bigbluebutton/
|
||
Secret: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz012345679
|
||
|
||
Link to the API-Mate:
|
||
https://mconf.github.io/api-mate/#server=https://...
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Enter these values in the additional settings section on the admin
|
||
configuration page of your Nextcloud instance.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Create your first room
|
||
Go to the BigBlueButton section inside your personal settings page and enter a
|
||
room name. That's it. You can now distribute the room url.
|
||
|
||
## Enter a room from files
|
||
Use the ... menu and select the desired BBB configuration to enter the room.
|
||
Beware that if the room is already running the presentation will **not** be
|
||
updated. Entering a room with a defined presentation works only if link shares
|
||
are enabled and do not require authentication. See [#1](https://github.com/sualko/cloud_bbb/issues/1)
|
||
for details.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
## :notebook: Notes
|
||
- By using the [Link Editor](https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/files_linkeditor)
|
||
you can share rooms as any other file
|
||
|
||
## :pick: Troubleshooting
|
||
- Before installing, make sure your BBB is running correctly
|
||
- If the room doesn't appear in the ... menu of files, a browser/cache reload
|
||
might help
|
||
|
||
