Libs

• Angular ah just kidding, always React!
• Zustand for state management, love the flexibility and my hair!
• Fluentui for UI components and this Microsofty look!
• SocketIO on the server side for signaling and room management. Any erroring node in the room mesh network is terminated appropriately, ensuring a fully-connected mesh network while tolerating some network failures and reconnects.

Goals

Being an open source peer-to-peer video conferencing core app, easily deployable, extentable and customizable for custom use cases.

This could serve as a base app for any derived work, implementing features like these on top of it:

• Large File sharing.
• Session recording.
• End-to-end encryption.
• Collaborative whiteboard.
• Admin controls.

Limitations

It scales very well in terms of how many rooms can be on server as it is a peer to peer solution. However there is a huge natural limitation on how many participants can be in one single room due to bandwidth and processing requirements of a fully-connected mesh network. As each node sends and receives data from every other node in the room, the bandwidth and processing requirements grow substantially with large number of participants in the room.

Why node-cache instead of database?

Works for now!

TODO migrate to redis adapter.

Building

Docker

There are two Dockerfile's in <project_root> and <project_root>/server and a docker-compose.yml file in <project_root>. Just run:

docker-compose up

And head over to localhost! If you want to use same setup in production environment, you will need to have this running behind ssl, load-balancer and stuff!
