# How to deploy a WebRTC (easyrtc) server

This tutorial has the aim of guide you through the steps for deploying a WebRTC server and try it with the multiuser feature of BabiaXR.

Specifically, this guide is for deploying an [EasyRTC](https://easyrtc.com/) server.

- GitHub Repo: https://github.com/open-easyrtc/open-easyrtc

## Deploying using JavaScript (local)

The steps for deploying an Open EasyRTC server using JavaScript (**required node 13.8.0**) are the next ones:

```
git clone https://gitlab.com/babiaxr/open-easyrtc
cd open-easyrtc
npm install --production
cd server_example
```

- Non-secured server
    ```
    node server.js
    ```

- SSL autosigned localhost server
    ```
    node server_ssl.js
    ```

- SSL with custom certs
    1. Go to `server_ssl_customcerts.js` file and modify the following lines:
    ```
    // Start Express https server on port 8443
    var webServer = https.createServer({
        key:  fs.readFileSync(__dirname + "your_path_to_key"),
        cert: fs.readFileSync(__dirname + "your_path_to_cert")
    }, httpApp);
    ```
    2. Then deploy the server
    ```
    node server_ssl_customcerts.js
    ```

## Deploying using Docker

First of all you have to have installed [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) and [docker-compose](https://www.docker.com/) (optional)

### Dockerfiles

The docker images are allocated in a repository:

- Dockerfile for the nonssl version: https://gitlab.com/babiaxr/open-easyrtc/-/blob/master/server_example/Dockerfile
- Dockerfile for the ssl version autosigned localhost: https://gitlab.com/babiaxr/open-easyrtc/-/blob/master/server_example/Dockerfile_ssl_autosigned
- Dockerfile for the ssl version with custom certs: https://gitlab.com/babiaxr/open-easyrtc/-/blob/master/server_example/Dockerfile_ssl_customcerts

### Docker-hub tags:

- non-ssl version: `babiaxr/easyrtc:nonssl`
- ssl autosgined version: `babiaxr/easyrtc:sslautosigned`
- ssl custom certs: `babiaxr/easyrtc:sslcustomcerts`

### Deploy with docker

- non-ssl version: `docker run -it -d -p 8080:8080 babiaxr/easyrtc:nonssl`
- ssl autosgined version: `docker run -it -d -p 8443:8443 babiaxr/easyrtc:sslautosigned`
- ssl custom certs: `docker run -it -d -p 8443:8443 babiaxr/easyrtc:sslcustomcerts`



### Deploy with docker-compose

> Note: volumes and exported ports are optional

- [non-ssl version](https://gitlab.com/babiaxr/open-easyrtc/-/blob/master/server_example/docker-compose-nonssl.yml):

```
  version: "2.1"
  services:
    babiartc-server:
      image: babiaxr/easyrtc:nonssl
      container_name: babiartc
      ports:
        - 8080:8080
      restart: unless-stopped
  volumes:
    certsbabia:
      external: true


```

- [ssl autosgined version](https://gitlab.com/babiaxr/open-easyrtc/-/blob/master/server_example/docker-compose-ssl-autosigned.yml):

```

  version: "2.1"
  services:
    sslbabiartc-server:
      image: babiaxr/easyrtc:sslautosigned
      container_name: sslbabiartc
      ports:
        - 8443:8443
      restart: unless-stopped
  volumes:
    certsbabia:
      external: true


```

- [ssl custom certs version](https://gitlab.com/babiaxr/open-easyrtc/-/blob/master/server_example/docker-compose-ssl-customcerts.yml): 
```
    version: "2.1"
    services:
      sslbabiartc-server:
        image: babiaxr/easyrtc:sslcustomcerts
        container_name: sslbabiartc
        ports:
          - 49153:8443
        volumes:
          - certsbabia:/app/open-easyrtc/server_example/customcerts
        restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      certsbabia:
        external: true
```
