Automation for BigBlueButton stack. Use Terraform and Ansible to provision one or many bigbluebutton and scalelite servers with just few commands.

• AWS Account
• Route53 Domain Name and Domain Zone
• Terraform 13.0+
• Ansible 2.9+

Adjust configurations:

• vars/variables.tfvars
• vars/inventory
• vars/variables.yaml
• ansible.cfg

Note, Ansible inventory has to be adjusted after ec2 provisioning.

Infrastructure creation is done in multiple steps:

1. Bootstrapping - creating shared resources, like security groups and SSH keys.
2. Provisioning - creating actual bigbluebutton and scalelite servers

Initiate a new Terraform project in bootstrap directory:

terraform init

Plan and apply your changes, provisionning the resources:

terraform apply -var-file=../vars/variables.tfvars

Initiate a new Terraform project in template directory:

terraform init

Plan and apply your changes, provisionning the resources:

terraform apply -var-file=../vars/variables.tfvars

Install required Ansible roles:

ansible-galaxy install nickjj.docker

Run Ansible playbook for bigbluebutton:

ansible-playbook playbooks/bigbluebutton.yaml

Run Ansible playbook for scalelite:

ansible-playbook playbooks/scalelite.yaml

Post installation configuration is still pretty much manual. You will need to refer to scalelite official docs to learn more how to administer your pool.

In case you need to destroy the resources, the process is similar for both bootstrap and template:

terraform destroy --auto-approve -var-file=../vars/variables.tfvars
