Resource footprint
Needs ~2 GB RAM · 8 GB recommended(estimated)
Why?
  • Minimum XL (4 GB): estimated from the app's language, dependencies and category: about 2 GB. We add 25% headroom on top.
  • Recommended XXL (8 GB): the project's docs ask for 16 GB for the whole server (docs/docs/administration/install.md); about 15.5 GB of that is for the app itself.
  • It does background work, so it runs always-on.
Get started
$ git clone https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton.git

A vetted docker-compose.yml, dependency list, and RAM footprint are extracted from the repo during enrichment.
