+- Add a BBB server
+
+# Setup recordings
+
+## Configuring the BBB server
+
+Init the bbb server as explained in the documentation
+
+Edit the `/home/bigbluebutton/.ssh/config` file
+
+1. make sure the configured domain points to your local machine as this user needs to ssh to it
+
+2. replace the default bigbluebutton with your own username (as you don't want to add bigbluebutton username to your local machine)
+
+Host scalelite-spool
+  HostName sl.jesus.blindside-dev.com
+  User <YOUR_USERNAME>
+  Port 22
+  IdentityFile /home/bigbluebutton/.ssh/id_rsa
+
+3. In your local machine, add the public key generated for the bigbluebutton user in the bbb machine into your own `~/.ssh/authorized_keys` file.
+
+4. ssh into your own computer using the config env_file
+ssh scalelite-spool
+
+5. Edit the variable that indicates where the files will be placed
+
+Edit `/usr/local/bigbluebutton/core/scripts/scalelite.yml`
+
+```
+# spool_dir: scalelite-spool:/var/bigbluebutton/spool 	## original
+spool_dir: scalelite-spool:/home/<YOUR_USERNAME>/spool		## adapted
+```
+
+Accept the key, this is done only once.
+
+## Final touches in your Local Machine
+
+1. Make sure your user has rights to write in the `/mnt/scalelite-recordings/var/bigbluebutton/spool/`
+
+sudo chown -R root.<YOUR_USERNAME> /mnt/scalelite-recordings/var/bigbluebutton/spool/
+
+2. Create a symbolic link to that spool directory
+
+ln -s /mnt/scalelite-recordings/var/bigbluebutton/spool/ /home/YOUR_USERNAME/spool
