I run BigBlueButton on a digitalocean droplet. The BBB was installed as a docker (using instructions here https://docs.bigbluebutton.org/2.2/install.html)And the storage space became full after several sessions. Therefore I have purchased block storage and attached to the droplet using automatic format and attach option. Do I have to do anything else to tell BBB to use this extra space or will it take and consume automatically? Thanks

I just resolved this issue by creating simlink. I understand DigitalOcean adds volume as directory therefore BBB should be simlinked to that directory to store recordings. I followed these comments:
sudo mv /var/bigbluebutton /var/bigbluebutton.backup #to move the existing ones to backup
sudo ln -s /mnt/sdb /var/bigbluebutton # create simlink
sudo bbb-conf --restart #restrart
This will help to increase storage without interruption to old recordings. Hope this is useful to someone.

Didn't work for me. Is there any missing step here? The presentation stops appearing after these steps. – Shashwat Aditya Jul 18 '20 at 13:43
