signalbox

An experimental Web-RTC signalling server written in Go. Designed to be compatible with the signalling protocol used with rtc.io.

   

Installation instructions (Ubuntu):

• Download and Install Go

• Get and compile Signalbox

    go get github.com/cfreeman/signalbox
  

• Install on your server

    sudo cp bin/signalbox /usr/sbin/signalbox
  

• Create signalbox configuration file

    vim /etc/signalbox.json
    {
      "ListenAddress":":3000"
    }
  

• Create directory to hold signalbox logging output

    sudo mkdir /var/log/signalbox
    sudo chown /var/log/signalbox www-data
    sudo chgrp /var/log/signalbox www-data
  

• Create upstart configuration file

    vim /etc/init/signalbox.conf
    description "A webRTC signalling server."
  
    start on filesystem or runlevel [2345]
    stop on runlevel [!2345]
  
    exec start-stop
  
    exec start-stop-daemon --start --chuid www-data --exec /usr/sbin/signalbox /etc/signalbox.json 2>> /var/log/signalbox/signalbox.log
  

• Start signalbox

    sudo start signalbox
  

• Signalbox is now running on port 3000. You can open it up, or proxy pass from apache or nginx.
