Mediasoup based WebRTC SFU for Hubs.

Development

1. Clone repo

2. In root project folder, npm ci (this may take a while).

3. Create a folder in the root project folder called certs if needed (see steps 4 & 5).

4. Add the ssl cert and key to the certs folder as fullchain.pem and privkey.pem, or set the path to these in your shell via HTTPS_CERT_FULLCHAIN and HTTPS_CERT_PRIVKEY respectively. You can provide these certs yourself or use the ones available in https://github.com/mozilla/reticulum/tree/master/priv (dev-ssl.cert and dev-ssl.key).

5. Add the reticulum permissions public key to the certs folder as perms.pub.pem, or set the path to the file in your shell via AUTH_KEY.

   • If using one of the public keys from hubs-ops (located in https://github.com/mozilla/hubs-ops/tree/master/ansible/roles/janus/files), you will need to convert it to standard pem format.
   • e.g. for use with dev.reticulum.io: openssl rsa -in perms.pub.der.dev -inform DER -RSAPublicKey_in -out perms.pub.pem

6. Start dialog with MEDIASOUP_LISTEN_IP=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX MEDIASOUP_ANNOUNCED_IP=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX npm start where XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is the local IP address of the machine running the server. (In the case of a VM, this should be the internal IP address of the VM).

   • If you choose to set the paths for HTTPS_CERT_FULLCHAIN, HTTPS_CERT_PRIVKEY and/or AUTH_KEY you may also define them inline here as well. e.g.

     HTTPS_CERT_FULLCHAIN=/path/to/cert.file HTTPS_CERT_PRIVKEY=/path/to/key.file AUTH_KEY=/path/to/auth.key MEDIASOUP_LISTEN_IP=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX MEDIASOUP_ANNOUNCED_IP=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX npm start

7. Navigate to https://localhost:4443/ in your browser, and accept the self-signed cert.

8. You may now point Hubs/Reticulum to use localhost:4443 as the WebRTC host/port.`

See config.js for all available configuration options.
