This script is written in python, and it keeps migrating your all recorded videos/sessions from Big Blue Button server to your desired s3 bucket.

$ cd /var/bigbluebutton/published/presentation$ sudo su$ export LC_ALL=C$ apt install python-pip$ pip install awscli$ pip install boto3$ pip install python-magic==0.4.15$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rohitcoder/BBB-AWS-S3/master/bbb-s3.py

1. Follow this videohttps://youtu.be/665RYobRJDY
2. Note: At this stephttps://youtu.be/665RYobRJDY?t=101 you have to search "S3 Full Access" and then go ahead.

$ export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=PASTE_AWS_KEY_ID_HERE$ export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=PASTE_AWS_SECRET_HERE$ aws configure  AWS Access Key ID [None]: PASTE_AWS_KEY_ID_HERE  AWS Secret Access Key [None]: PASTE_AWS_SECRET_HERE  AWS region name [None]: Press enter without typing anything  Default output format [None]: Again, press enter without typing anything

Now, Lets editbbb-s3.py

openbbb-s3.py with any editor and edit value for BUCKET_NAME, DELETE_SERVER_FILES.

DELETE_SERVER_FILES => SET value "True" if you want to delete recordings from Local EC2 instance after gettting uploaded to s3, default value is False

Now, lets configure our s3 path with BBB

$ cd /var/bigbluebutton/playback/presentation/2.0/lib$ vi writing.js

Here you need to change value of url to your s3 bucket address and add meetinID variable at end.

1. Make sure your bucket is publicly accessible.
2. Open your s3 bucket settings in aws console, and click on Permissions->CORS configuration and add this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><CORSConfigurationxmlns="http://s3.amazonaws.com/doc/2006-03-01/"><CORSRule>    <AllowedOrigin>*</AllowedOrigin>    <AllowedMethod>GET</AllowedMethod>    <AllowedMethod>HEAD</AllowedMethod>    <AllowedHeader>*</AllowedHeader></CORSRule></CORSConfiguration>

Now, you need to setup a cron to automate this upload process

$ crontab -e

add this to your crontab

This will run bbb-s3.py after every 5 minutes.*/5 * * * * cd /var/bigbluebutton/published/presentation/ && python bbb-s3.py

It should look like this

Note: we used * * * * * in above screenshot, you can use any timings for cron. We suggest using */5 * * * *

Now, you are ready to go, it should work on your side!
