Usage

Connect to the server URL and port with a web browser and the web client will launch.

In place start for development

Copy the server.conf.in to server.conf.

Build styles, javascript and binary using make. Then run ./spreed-webrtc-server

The server runs on http://localhost:8080/ per default.

HTML changes and Go rebuilds need a server restart. Javascript and CSS reload directly.

Production use

Spreed WebRTC should be run through a SSL frontend proxy with support for Websockets. Example configuration for Nginx can be found in doc/NGINX.txt.

In addion for real work use one also needs a STUN/TURN server configured with shared secret support.

See https://code.google.com/p/rfc5766-turn-server/ for a free open source TURN server implementation. Make sure to use a recent version (We recommend 3.2). Versions below 2.5 are not supported.
