…unfortunately, that's not all.

We also need to regularly remove the caches (asap):

Disable Recording Button
54c30a2 
This patch disables the recording button, stopping users from cluttering
the servers with conference recordings and taking away important
resources from the system.

This is part of a fix for #2.

Workaround: Delete Raw Recordings
2ebbea1 
Despite not actually starting a recording, BigBlueButton still writes a
recording to disk. It will try to clean these recordings up in a regular
interval but unfortunately seems to forget half of the data.

This patch contains two Systemd series and timers which will:

- delete all raw recording every night at 4am
- reboot the server at 4:30am (shouldn't hurt and may help…)

This is a short-term workaround for #2. Nevertheless, this still needs a
proper solution.
