README

Thanks to Bernd Wurst who inspired this project with his gist on github:

setup

Execute bbb-conf --secret on your server.

This gives you your API-secret, the URL at which BigBlueButton is running at.

Save these two values in the first line of the following files:

  • URL inside secret/url.txt
  • API-secret inside secret/secret.txt

Note: You may chmod 600 on the two above files.

run

Start logging in the background:

docker-compose up -d

Generate a new plot based on saved meeting data:

sudo docker-compose run bbb-status plot

example logging

sudo docker-compose up -d  # start logging in the background
sudo docker-compose logs  # inspect container output
