BigBlueButton 2.2 Docker

Changelog | Issues

About the upcoming BigBlueButton 2.3

the v2.3.x branch became now develop at the official bigbluebutton/docker repository :tada:

• Maintaining both branches is currently requires too much effort for me (@alangecker), why I limit the work now on developing updates for bbb-docker 2.3
• Consider using 2.3.x for new installations, because 2.2.x (this repo) will become obsolete soon without a simple upgrading path.

Features

• Easy installation
• Greenlight included
• ~~TURN server included~~ (disabled due to blocked TURN ports)
• Fully automated HTTPS certificates
• Runs on almost any major linux distributon (Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS,...)
• Full IPv6 support
