# video-call.rs

MVP of a teleconferencing system written in rust, both the backend and the UI.

# How to try it out?

## Setup 

Technically you could run this with a single computer, but it is more fun if you use 2+.

## Steps

1. Start the servers on the computer that you intend to use as the server using `ACTIX_UI_BACKEND_URL=ws://:8080 make up` (requires docker).

2. Enable WebTransport Developer Mode:

   - Go to `chrome://flags/#enable-webtransport-dev-mode`

   - Enable the flag

   - Close chrome

3. Open chrome using the `launch_chrome.sh` script, this will allow you to use webtransport locally.

4. If your server computer is behind a firewall, make sure that TCP ports 80 and 8080 are open

5. Connect all computers to `http:///meeting//`

6. Make sure that you "allow" access to your mic and camera:



7. Click connect on both browsers, and enjoy:

## 👨‍💻 Project Structure

Contains 3 sub-projects

1. actix-api: actix web server

2. yew-ui: Yew frontend

3. types: json serializable structures used to communicate the frontend and backend.

# Local Development

## Dockerized workflow

1. Install docker https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/

2. Run one of the supported make commands

```

make test

make up

make down

make build

```

## Without docker

### Prerequisites

1. Create a postgresql database that you can accessed without a password.  The default database name is `actix-api-db`, i.e. the default connection string is `postgresql://$USER@localhost/actix-api-db`

2. Install [trurl](see https://github.com/curl/trurl) and [nats-server]((see https://docs.nats.io/running-a-nats-service/introduction/installation)

### Starting up the servers

1. Run the script `./start_dev.sh`.

   It examines various environment variables to control the behavior; see the script itself for details.

   By default it runs using websockets rather than webtransport (`WEBTRANSPORT_ENABLED=0`) and without encryption (`E2EE_ENABLED=0`).

2. Connect your browser to `http://localhost:8081/meeting//`

   You can make multiple connections (with varying usernames) from multiple browser windows or tabs.

   If you are using encryption (`E2EE_ENABLED=1`), you should lanuch Chrome with

   the necessary options for it to accept the local certificate by running `./launch_chrome.sh`

The Actix websocket implementation contains fragments from https://github.com/JasterV/chat-rooms-actix in particular the usage of an actor to orchestrate all sessions and rooms.
