Installation

Install Node.js 18+ from https://nodejs.org/en/download or your distribution package manager
Download and install Nix package manager.
Enable nix-command and flakes in ~/.config/nix/nix.conf via extra-experimental-features = nix-command flakes
Install livekit by running:

nix profile add \
        nixpkgs#livekit \
        nixpkgs#livekit-cli \
        nixpkgs#livekit-ingress \
        nixpkgs#livekit-libwebrtc

Install Node.js dependencies with npm install
Copy .env.example to .env, then provide your LiveKit credentials and the external token server URL (see mission-control-remote for a reference implementation)

Note: Nix is a package manager, while NixOS is a Linux distro using it. Just to avoid confusion. It is also possible to install as a non-root user.

Note: Please use real host device ip instead of vscode port forwards for WebRTC to work.
