Hi, I got the same problem.

It came from the file /usr/local/bigbluebutton/core/scripts/sanity/sanity.rb in the docker image alangecker/bbb-docker-recordings:3.0.19

This image had its ruby version upgraded from 2.6 to 3.2 and the sanity.rb file uses a deleted function in it, File.exists at line 53

To fix it temporary I overrode this files via docker-compose.yml configuration

Step 1 :
copy a correct sanity.rb file in ./mod/recordings

To correct sanity.rb copy the original one and at line 53 replace « File.exists » with « File.exist »

Step 2 :
add this line in docker-compose.yml

recordings:
    …
    volumes:
      …
      - ./mod/recordings/sanity.rb:/usr/local/bigbluebutton/core/scripts/sanity/sanity.rb
    …

and restart my bigbluebutton instance using docker compose

Regards

thats not correct.
