Hi,  
I developed a OpenVidu CE server to test this product.  
Now I can make a video call but I can’t start a recording.  
The server is based on Debian 10 and the OpenVidu application running on docker  
I’m interested on Compose recording and the documentation tell that is the right product.  
In the .env file (docker file) I setup the variables:  
OPENVIDU\_RECORDING=true OPENVIDU\_RECORDING\_DEBUG=true OPENVIDU\_RECORDING\_PATH=/opt/openvidu/recordings

The recordings didn’t start.  
Can any one help me to understand how starting a video recording?  
Is it possible have some example on php or js  
thanks
