install and setup 2.4 or 2.3 Bigbluebutton without Docker

Question

i have tried to install BigBlueButton many times and i failed each time, most of my problems comes from mongodb,docker and anything that blocked access from ip of my country ( iran ) i have found solution for mongodb and others but still cant find a solution for docker problem . i have taken a look at bbb-install.sh and only time that docker is used outside of install_greenlight() function is this

297    install_docker                            # needed for bbb-libreoffice-docker
298    docker pull openjdk:11-jre-buster      # fix issue 413
299    docker tag openjdk:11-jre-buster openjdk:11-jre

is there anyway for me to not to use docker for openjdk ? and if yes how ? ( i do not know anything about docker )

many thanks !

Answer 1

Best way to install bigbluebutton on servers that colocated in Iran or any sanctioned countries is using shecan First set shecan as your DNS nameserver inside /etc/resolve.conf or in network configuration file, then start installing Bigbluebutton, if you want have more speed on each installation it's better to make local mirror for bigbluebutton repositories. After finishing installation it's better to set cloudflare or Google DNS on your server.

Answer 2

you can use mirrors or VPN(Not recommended) or you can change dns using resolvconf by this commands

sudo apt install resolvconf

sudo systemctl status resolvconf.service


 sudo nano /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head

then set your name servers after that:

sudo resolvconf --enable-updates

sudo resolvconf -u

ensure you set dns correctly:

sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf

now you can install mongodb or bbb or greenlight

did not find a way to completely stop using docker but found a mirror for docker and here is how to use it :

cat > /etc/docker/daemon.json <<EOF
{
  "registry-mirrors": ["https://mirror.example"]
}
EOF
sudo systemctl restart docker
