WebRTC allows browsers to browsers direct connections. This provides the best latency as it avoids round trip through a server,
which is important with real time communications. But it also ensures the privacy of your communications. VROOM takes advantage of those
new WebRTC technologies, and does the following:

It's also advised to run VROOM on a systemd powered distribution (simply because that's what I use and I include service units for VROOM).
For the same reason, I recommend running Apache as webserver (others like Nginx probably work too, but I provide configuration sample only for Apache)

While VROOM should run on any distro, it's only tested on CentOS 7 x86_64, so it's the recommended platform.
Also, I provide packages for all dependencies in my repository, so it'll be much easier to install it this way.
Also, all dependencies are available as RPM in <a href="http://repo.firewall-services.com/centos/" target="_blank">Firewall Services'</a>
repository, so installation will be easier on CentOS 7.
If you have it running on another system, please send me your notes so I can update this documentation.
