serverless-webrtc
=================
This is a tech demo of using WebRTC without a signaling server -- the
WebRTC offer/answer exchange is performed manually by the users, for example
via IM. This means that the app can run out of `file:///` directly, without
involving a web server. You can send text messages and files between peers.
This repository contains two different clients that can talk to each other:
1. `serverless-webrtc.js` runs under node.js
2. `serverless-webrtc.html` runs in Chrome or Firefox
Chat is fully interoperable between all of the above (Node, Chrome, Firefox)
in any combination (tested with Chrome 35 and Firefox 29).
### For Node:
```
λ npm install serverless-webrtc
λ node_modules/serverless-webrtc/serverless-webrtc.js
```
Under Node, if you want to create a session instead of joining one:
```
λ node_modules/serverless-webrtc/serverless-webrtc.js --create
```
### For browsers:
In Chrome (but not Firefox), you'll need to run a local web server rather
than just browsing to `file:///`, like this:
```
λ cd serverless-webrtc
λ python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8001 .
Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8001 ...
```
and then browse to [http://localhost:8001/](http://localhost:8001/).
### For Android:
[Vojtěch Sázel](https://www.linkedin.com/in/vojtechsazel) has ported this project
to Android: [serverless-webrtc-android](https://github.com/wojta/serverless-webrtc-android).
