PeerServer: A server for PeerJS

PeerServer helps broker connections between PeerJS clients. Data is not proxied through the server.

https://peerjs.com

Run PeerServer

1. Clone app:

git clone https://github.com/peers/peerjs-server.git

2. Install dependencies:

npm install

3. Run the server:

npm run start

Connecting to the server from PeerJS:

<script>
    const peer = new Peer('someid', {host: 'localhost', port: 9000, path: '/myapp'});
</script>

Using HTTPS: Simply pass in paths to PEM-encoded certificate and key.

node ./src/index.js --port 9000 --path /myapp --sslKeyPath /path/to/your/ssl/key/here.key --sslCertPath /path/to/your/ssl/certificate/here.crt

Running PeerServer behind a reverse proxy

Make sure to set the proxied option. The option is passed verbatim to the expressjs trust proxy setting if it is truthy.

node ./src/index.js --port 9000 --path /myapp --proxied true

Running tests

npm test

Docker

You can build this image simply by calling:

docker build -t peerjs https://github.com/peers/peerjs-server.git

To run the image execute this:

docker run -p 9000:9000 -d peerjs

This will start a peerjs server on port 9000 exposed on port 9000.
