   For the record, just painlessly upgraded my beta3 release of BigBlueButton 3.x to beta4. No biggie. Well done BBB dev community!

     @lightweight Unfortunately bigbluebutton is proprietary now due to them not migrating away from Mongodb and redis, as those went proprietary.
     
     Thankfully there is even better free software for videoconferencing; https://galene.org/

     @lightweight Maybe, but you do need to make sure that Valkey is installed instead of redis on a proprietary distro.

     @Suiseiseki I'm pretty sure MongoDB is gone from the 3.x code base now (see 'removal of Meteor and MongoDB' here https://docs.bigbluebutton.org/3.0/new-features/), and it should be easy enough to install Valkey instead of Redis, no?

     @lightweight It was proprietary, now they've fixed the mongodb issue; https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton/issues/15237
     
     It's unclear if the install script installs redis or not; https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bbb-install/blob/v2.7.x-release/bbb-install.sh?raw=true
