Running Spreed WebRTC and this app on different servers

[I-am-stefan]

Hi,

I had some trouble to integrate spreed.me in my nextcloud installation.
I uses a vitrual machine for static ip adress and ssl proxy in the internet and I am hosting my nextcloud server locally at home. The proxy Server connects my home installation with the internet.

The spreed.me installation is installed on the proxy (the virtual server) to relieve the pressure from my home-internet connection ;).

When I am starting the spreed.me server on the virtual host, I got the error message:

Configured extra '/var/www/nextcloud/apps/spreedme/extra' is not a directory.

Of course it is a directory, but on my nextcloud server and NOT on the virtual server (proxy).
To solve my problem I copied this folder with all the included files from the nextcloud installation to the virtual server (proxy).
Now I can start webrtc daemon and everything works fine for me.

Are these files really needed for starting the webrtc daemon?
In my situation I will get problems, if the spreed.me APP will updated and I do not copy the new files again to the spreed-webrtc server.

Running Spreed WebRTC (the server) and Spreed.ME (Nextcloud app) on two different machines is officially unsupported. However copying the extra directory (like you did) should always work, you just have to make sure that they always stay in sync — so once you update the Spreed.ME app, you need to copy the extra dir to your Spreed WebRTC host.

Hi,

thanks for your answer.  And that is the only solution? So the Spreed WebRTC Server needs always these files for starting?  Perhaps it is possible to load them from an external adresss and you can customize this adress in the Server configuration?

can customize this adress in the Server configuration? Yup, that would certainly be possible. Feel free to drop a PR.

Hi, thanks for your answer. Btw: What is a PR? in German a PR is "Pressekonferenz" so press conference, but I cannot believe that I need this type of conference for placing me idea ;). Am Mittwoch, den 18.01.2017, 08:51 -0800 schrieb leonklingele:

Or in other words: Please implement it yourself :) We currently don't need this kind of cross-server support.

@leonklingele Just out of curiosity... why not? In bigger setups it would be very nice to have cross server support.

Anyway, I managed to make it run as expected. I think.... https://help.nextcloud.com/t/spreedme-webrtc-and-nextcloud-on-split-host/11239

As the plugin apparently is picked up from the webserver and not the webrtc server, why not the path for "extra="
