Cool Web-RTC web-terminal that works well with the rtc-shell utility to enstablish a P2P connection.
Try the working Live Demo!
- An "offer" will be generated by the initiator (rtc-shell). Paste this into the web-terminal hit enter.
- The web-terminal generates an "answer". Paste this into the initiator's shell and hit enter.
- Now you have a direct P2P connection between the shell and the browser web-page!
Supposing you're using rtc-shell just launch it with: rtc-shell -l -x /bin/sh, then copy and paste the initiator string into the web-terminal using the command:
@signal <initiator>
The web-terminal will reply with another initiator, copy and paste it to the rtc-shell and hit enter.
You're ready to go! A browser-based p2p-shell.
In a real-world application, you would never do this. A "signaling server" (usually implemented with websockets) would be used to exchange signaling data between the two browsers until a peer-to-peer connection is established. Avoiding a manual handshake.
