kubernetes Greenlight deployment

In this repository you can find scripts for deploying https://github.com/bigbluebutton/greenlight or https://github.com/mbcom/greenlight to a kubernetes cluster.

Installation

1. create a new namespace in your kubernetes cluster
2. clone this repository to a computer with kubectl and helm installed
3. deploy a postgres db to your cluster with the following command

# if you have not already done before
# helm repo add bitnami https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami
sed -i 's/a_password_that_i_should_change/save_password/g' greenlight-postgres.values
helm install -n <your namespace name> greenlight -f greenlight-postgres.values bitnami/postgresql

4. now you can/ must configure your greenlight, therefore a secret is used, make sure you all values are base64 encoded
   • set the values and save the file as secret.yaml, the options are the same as in the greenlight .env file

5. run the following inside repository folder

sed -i 's/greenlight-ns/<your namespace name>/g' *.yaml
sed -i 's/greenlight-image/<greenlight image name>/g' greenlight-deployment.yaml
sed -i 's/greenlight-db-password/<greenlight db password>/g' greenlight-deployment.yaml
kubectl -n <your namespace name> apply -f *.yaml

6. to use the provided ingress ressource edit the greenlight-ingress.yaml.example and fill in the required fields manually after that you can deploy it too

If you use the greenlight of https://github.com/mbcom/greenlight you must also create the bbb-nas.yaml.example and the bbb-nas-claim.yaml.example. In bbb-nas.yaml.example specify your NAS serveraddress where your /var/bigbluebutton/published/ files are placed. In bbb-nas-claim.yaml.example specify the right namespace as above. Too you need to uncomment the commented lines in greenlight-deployment.yaml and apply it again. As docker image you can use mbcom/greenlight:v2.7.9.
