README

        
This is the server component for Ennuicastr, a system for recording multiple

users distributed across the world in a well-synchronized way, without

significant loss, over the web. This is the server software that runs

https://ecastr.com/ , the main installation of Ennuicastr.

This software is divided into several subcomponents:

db:     The database

njsp:   The configuration for NodeJS-Server-Pages

        (`npm install nodejs-server-pages`), which is needed to run the

        templated web site component.

server: The server for Ennuicastr recordings itself.

web:    The web page

cook:   Tools used to process raw audio into usable formats.

Some very light documentation on running your own instance of Ennuicastr is

provided in [docs/INSTALL.md](docs/INSTALL.md).

# Server requirements

The server has two main components: The Ennuicastr protocol server, and the web

components. The web components use

[nodejs-server-pages](https://github.com/Yahweasel/nodejs-server-pages), so

you'll need to set up your web server of choice to use that.

For nodejs-server-pages WebSockets to work, your web server needs to delegate

/ws accesses to it. In nginx, for example:

```

        location ~ /ws$ {

                proxy_pass http://unix:/tmp/nodejs-server-pages-ws.sock;

                proxy_http_version 1.1;

                proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;

                proxy_set_header Connection "Upgrade";

                proxy_set_header Host $host;

                proxy_read_timeout 86400;

                proxy_send_timeout 86400;

                send_timeout 86400;

        }

```

For the AudioWorkletProcessor to be able to use SharedArrayBuffer, you need the

correct "security" features. For instance, in nginx:

```

        add_header 'Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy' 'same-origin';

        add_header 'Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy' 'require-corp';

```

The client uses Jitsi to communicate, so you'll need to set up a Jitsi server.

If the client is at https://weca.st/ , then Jitsi must be at

https://jitsi.weca.st/ . That is, it must be at jitsi.X, where X is the domain

used for the client.

You can hide the actual Jitsi interface, since Ennuicastr provides its own. In

nginx, for example:

```

    location = / {

        return 301 https://ecastr.com/;

    }

...

    location @root_path {

        #rewrite ^/(.*)$ / break;

        return 301 https://ecastr.com/;

    }

```

Jitsi will also need correct CORS so that it can be connected to from another

domain. For instance, with nginx and weca.st:

```

    location = /http-bind {

...

        add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' 'https://weca.st';

        add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers' 'DNT,User-Agent,X-Requested-With,If-Modified-Since,Cache-Control,Content-Type,Range';

    }

```
