pilos/pilos repository overview

PILOS (Platform for Interactive Live-Online Seminars) is an easy to use frontend for BigBlueButton⁠ developed at the TH Mittelhessen University of Applied Sciences (THM⁠) Faculty of Health (FB GES⁠). It is based on the experience of students, teachers and staff during the covid-19 pandemic, and the raised need for a modern and flexible video conferencing system for the use case of digital class rooms, group learning and other digital meetings.

This Frontend uses BigBlueButton and is not endorsed or certified by BigBlueButton Inc. BigBlueButton and the BigBlueButton Logo are trademarks of BigBlueButton Inc.

Source Code on Github⁠

⁠Installation

A BigBlueButton server is necessary to use this application. See how to set up a BigBlueButton server here⁠.

For information on installing PILOS using Docker have a look at our Installing PILOS⁠ documentation.

⁠Docker Tags

We use Semantic Versioning⁠ for our releases and tag the images accordingly.

It is recommended to use the image with the latest major version e.g. v1.9.5 -> v1 to always get the latest features and bugfixes.

All Tags⁠

⁠Development Images

Additionally we provide images for the latest commit on the master and the release branches, e.g.dev-master and dev-v1.

⁠Latest

We don't recommend using the latest tag for production, as breaking changes can cause you some trouble. Always check the changelog before changing the major version!

⁠About

The interface is similar to another open-source project Greenlight⁠. During the online semester 2020 many features araised that could not be solved or were hard to implement into Greenlight. The team behind Greenlight did an amazing job, and we want to thank for their hard work!
