VROOM (short for <strong>V</strong>ideo <strong>ROOM</strong>) is a simple to use, web-based and opensource (MIT licence) video conferencing application.
It's based on several other softwares, most notably the excellent <a href="http://simplewebrtc.com/" target="_blank">SimpleWebRTC</a> lib.

Most of them are more polished than VROOM, but I've found none entirely opensource, so I started this project.

The follwoing command will install everything required to run VROOM
A database will be used to store rooms configuration, you must enable the server.
<pre>
systemctl enable mariadb.service
systemctl start mariadb.service
</pre>
Now, create a new database for VROOM
<pre>
mysql -uroot
</pre>
<pre>
CREATE DATABASE `vroom` CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `vroom`.* TO 'vroom'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'MySuperPassw0rd';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

It's better to generate a long, random password here. Just write it somewhere, you'll need it later

Now that we have our MySQL database, we can create the tables

Setup Apache

Two sample apache configurations are provided in the <strong>conf</strong> directory
<ul>
<li><strong>httpd_alias.conf</strong> should work out of the box, VROOM will be available at <em>https://yourservername/vroom</em></li>
<li><strong>httpd_vhost.conf</strong> is an alternative which you can use if you prefer working with named virtualhost (but will require additional config adjustments, especially in ssl.conf, which is out of scope for this guide)</li>
</ul>
Copy the config you want in /etc/httpd/conf.d/
</p>
<p class="alert alert-info">
In either case, you might want to adjust the apache configuration
</p>
<p class="alert alert-danger">
The admin interface of VROOM will be available on /vroom/admin (alias) or /admin (vhost) must be protected by your web server. VROOM provides no authentication at all. In the sample configuration, the access is restriucted to localhost, but you can change this to anything you want
</p>
<p>
You also have to make sure the <strong>mod_proxy_ws</strong> module is enabled, which is not the case by default on CentOS 7
