Budget: $15 – $25 USD
We are seeking an experienced BigBlueButton (BBB) consultant to execute a one-time deployment of the platform in a fully air-gapped, on-premise Ubuntu-based environment. The goal is to install and configure BBB on a virtual machine (VM), integrate it with a locally hosted Moodle instance, and ensure full functionality without external internet access.
This role also involves generating necessary scripts and detailed documentation to support future re-deployments, maintenance, and recovery.
Responsibilities:
Install and configure BigBlueButton on a VM running Ubuntu
Integrate BBB with Moodle (already installed on the same Ubuntu server)
Prepare the BBB VM image for offline deployment in an air-gapped network
Implement manual authentication method for BBB-Moodle integration
Configure local DNS resolution to allow for fully qualified domain names (FQDN) within the isolated environment
Generate and install a self-signed root SSL certificate for secure connections
Set up reverse proxy and ensure compatibility with FreeSWITCH
Provide full documentation and deployment/update scripts
Troubleshoot and validate functionality in offline mode
Provide server hardware optimization and recommendations if needed
Required Skills and Experience:
Extensive hands-on experience with BigBlueButton installation and troubleshooting
Solid background in Linux administration, particularly Ubuntu
Proven experience integrating BBB with Moodle
Ability to configure manual authentication
Deep understanding of network isolation and VM image migration
Familiarity with DNS resolution setup within closed environments
Experience creating and deploying SSL root certificates
Expertise in FreeSWITCH and reverse proxy configuration
Ability to generate deployment and recovery documentation/scripts
Pre-Qualification Questions (Required in Application):
Have you installed BigBlueButton in an air-gapped or isolated environment before?
What is your approach if port 80 is blocked? Can you still make BBB function?
How many years of experience do you have working with BigBlueButton?
Have you previously integrated BBB with Moodle?
How many years of experience do you have with Ubuntu server administration?
How do you typically debug BBB-Moodle integration issues?
What is your experience configuring TURN servers for BBB?
Can you create and manage virtual machines and install BBB on them?
Have you set up local DNS servers for hostname resolution in offline environments?
Can you walk us through your process of creating a root SSL certificate and configuring reverse proxy with FreeSWITCH?
Nice to Have (Bonus):
Experience deploying in government, military, or other highly restricted networks
Prior work involving offline educational software systems
- Our issue is: BBB is not working since the network that we are using is an isolated environment.
