BigBlueButton VPS Hosting - Private Video Conferencing Offshore
BigBlueButton (BBB) is the leading open-source video conferencing platform built for education and remote teams. Hosting it on an AnubizHost offshore VPS keeps your meetings, recordings, and participant data under your control - no Zoom metadata, no Microsoft data processing, no surveillance-friendly cloud provider in the loop.

BigBlueButton System Requirements
BigBlueButton is resource-intensive compared to most self-hosted applications. The official recommendation is a dedicated core-equivalent with at least 8 GB RAM and 50 GB disk for a server supporting up to 50 concurrent video participants. AnubizHost VPS plans in the 4-8 vCPU range with 8-16 GB RAM are well suited. BBB requires Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (the officially supported OS) and uses ports TCP 80/443 for the web front-end, TCP 7443 for the TURN server, and a large UDP range for WebRTC media streams - all unrestricted on AnubizHost. The bbb-install.sh script handles the full stack: Nginx, FreeSWITCH, Kurento, Redis, and the BBB application server.
Features: Whiteboard, Breakout Rooms, Recording
BigBlueButton offers a presenter-student model with an interactive whiteboard, screen sharing, polls, breakout rooms, and real-time chat. Recordings capture the full session and can be published automatically or manually approved. The Greenlight front-end adds a room management portal where users create accounts and schedule meetings. BBB integrates with Moodle, Canvas, and other LMS platforms via LTI, making it a drop-in replacement for Zoom in educational settings. With root access on your AnubizHost VPS, you control recording storage location, retention policy, and whether participants can download recordings - none of which is configurable on hosted platforms.
Offshore Hosting for Education and Privacy
Schools, universities, and training providers collecting video recordings of students face significant GDPR and FERPA obligations when using US-based cloud platforms. Self-hosting BigBlueButton on an offshore VPS in Iceland eliminates the cross-border transfer problem under GDPR - data stays in a jurisdiction you select, under access policies you define. AnubizHost does not retain video streams or recording files; they live on your VPS disk and are your responsibility to back up and secure. Pay for your VPS with cryptocurrency to keep the hosting account separate from institutional finance systems. Greenlight user accounts are stored in your own PostgreSQL database - no vendor lock-in.
