This is the room server service for the Edumeet project. It handles signaling to and from client and media node services.
Make a file called config.json in the /config folder. An example configuration file with all properties set to default values can be found here:
config.example.json
Note that if you don't provide a value for tls.cert and tls.key the server will start in HTTP mode.
We use geo position based on client ipv4 address when doing load balancing.
If you're running room-server service behind a reverse proxy, you need to forward client ipv4 address in http header x-forwarded-for.
As ipv6 is not supported in the library we use for geoip lookup, deploying edumeet using ipv6 is not recommend.
Running the service as a docker container.
$ docker build . -t user/edumeet-room-server
$ docker run -v $(pwd)/config:/usr/src/app/dist/config -p 8443:8443 -d user/edumeet-room-server$ yarn install
$ yarn startTo run the service you need to have Node.js version 18 or higher installed. Alternatively you can get some debug output by running it like this:
$ DEBUG=edumeet:* yarn start| Name | Description | Format | Default value |
|---|---|---|---|
| listenPort | Socket port to listen on | "port" |
8443 |
| listenHost | Ip/address the server will listen on | "string" |
0.0.0.0 |
| tls | TLS configuration for the server | object |
{ "cert": "./certs edumeet-demo-cert.pem", "key": "./certs/edumeet-demo-key.pem"} |
| mediaNodes | Array of media nodes to use | array |
[ { "host": "localhost", "port": 3000, "secret": "secret-shared-with-media-node", "latitude": 63.430481, "latitude": 10.394964 } ] |
