Problems with dev setup

[waldo121]

I've had a few problems trying to run the dev setup with limited prior knowledge of how bbb works. I know the mate conf link is supposed to be used to create & join meeting but I really wanted to get the web ui working.
I have been trying to run

./scripts/dev

on v3.0.23 branch

First Problem: Hanging query when joining a room https://<my_external_ip>/html5client/?session_token=<my_session_token>
After harassing an LLM to investigate and suggest fixes, it got convicted there is a bug with the session token handling. I am not familiar with the codebase so I am not the right person to judge if it's a real bug or not.
After letting the LLM fix this bug and some docker template & nginx changes I could join a meeting through the ui.
The specific bug was in repos/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton-web/grails-app/controllers/org/bigbluebutton/web/controllers/ConnectionController.groovy

Second Problem: Audio joining did not work
In the browser console I had 2 errors which i believe could have been related.
I stopped here because the LLM didn't seem to make progress in resolving the issue at this point, and the setup drifted too much from what is supposed to be working.

1. which webui are u talking about? the bbb client or a frontend like greenlight to create a bigbluebutton session?
2. the https://<my_external_ip>/html5client/?session_token=<my_session_token> is only valid in ur current browser session, u shouldn't copy paste the join link inside the bbb client or from mate conf.

1. The ui that allows to create and manage rooms, choose options such as moderation codes and such, and start/join meetings too.
2. As for the link, I think i didn't copy it from anywhere, it just looked like it was launched when trying to join a session from the ui.
