If you successfully completed the above steps, your commandline/terminal should
show that your node server is listening.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/jeremija/peer-calls
cd peer-calls

# Configuration
There has been a breaking change in `v3.0.0`. The default binary provided via
NPM is now called peer-calls, while it used to be peercalls. This has been made
to make `npx peer-calls` work.
Version 3 also changed the way configuration works. Previously, `config` module
was used to read config files. To make things simpler, a default STUN
configuration will now be used by default. Config files can still be provided
via the `config/` folder in the working directory, but the extension read will
be `.yaml` instead of `.json`.
The config files are read in the following order:
- `node_modules/peer-calls/config/default.yaml`
- `node_modules/peer-calls/config/${NODE_ENV}.yaml`, if `NODE_ENV` is set
- `node_modules/peer-calls/config/local.yaml`
- `./config/default.yaml`
- `./config/${NODE_ENV}.yaml`, if `NODE_ENV` is set
- `./config/local.yaml`
No errors will be thrown if a file is not found, but an error will be thrown
when the required properties are not found. To debug configuration issues,
set the `DEBUG` environment variable to `DEBUG=peercalls,peercalls:config`.
Additionally, version 3 provides easier configuration via environment
variables. For example:
```bash
- Set STUN/TURN servers: `PEERCALLS__ICE_SERVERS='[{"url": "stun:stun.l.google.com:19302", "urls": "stun:stun.l.google.com:19302"}]'
- Change base url: `PEERCALLS__BASE_URL=/test`
- Enable SSL: `PEERCALLS__SSL='{"cert": "/path/to/cert.pem", "key": "/path/to/cert.key"}'`
- Enable SSL: `PEERCALLS__SSL=undefined`
```
See [config/default.yaml][config] for sample configuration.
[config]: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jeremija/peer-calls/master/config/default.json
By default, the server will start on port `3000`. This can be modified by
setting the `PORT` environment variable to another number, or to a path for a
unix domain socket.
To access the server, go to http://localhost:3000 (or another port).
