WebRTC en node

net_wrtc_ex1

Connect P2P node to node or node to browser to send data via WebRTC (works behind firewalls)

RESULTS

• wRTC npm package to connect via WebRTC from node to node or browser to node works

• adapting the ad-hoc HTTP post/get signaling server seems too hard/not worth the effort, try peerjs

• ABANDONED, but keep the repo for LEARNING purposes

• SEE https://www.npmjs.com/package/peerjs-on-node

• SEE https://github.com/node-webrtc/node-webrtc

• SEE signaling https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebRTC_API/Perfect_negotiation?ref=dyte.io

Simplified, remove any code not required for our application.

Next steps:

1. Separate peer1, peer2, signaling server

   • signaling handled through ./src/lib/server/rest/connectionsapi.js calling ConnectionManager

2. Tunnel TCP connection, e.g. ssh SEE: https://gist.github.com/khalil19/0d69f6ed4213d6c6719c5e3db535b2d6#file-tcp_client-js https://gist.github.com/khalil19/ea89bfebcfb666839d7797dcc43f98cf#file-tcp_server-js

We may also add WebRTC support to Python https://pypi.org/project/pproxy/

wRTC is used by WebTorrent https://github.com/webtorrent/webtorrent-hybrid/blob/98c8d76f8c70f681ddf36ae8a52722c4200884da/package.json#L19

ANOTHER OPTION was https://www.npmjs.com/package/peerjs-on-node BUT peerjs signaling has too many requirements compared to this just post/get: ./src/lib/server/rest/connectionsapi.js
