Introduction
|
|
</h1>
|
|
<p>
|
|
VROOM (short for <strong>V</strong>ideo <strong>ROOM</strong>) is a simple to use,
|
|
web-based and opensource (MIT licence) video conferencing application.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
VROOM uses the latest WebRTC technologies to allow video conferencing through a web
|
|
browser without any plugin.
|
|
There are several more or less similar hosted solutions available (like
|
|

|
|

|
|
</a>
|
|
for example).
|
|
Most of them are more polished than VROOM, but I've found none entirely opensource,
|
|
so I started this project.

How it works

|
</h1>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<a href="http://www.webrtc.org/"
|
|
taget="_blank">
|
|
WebRTC
|
|
</a>
|
|
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 technologies, and does the following:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
When a client joins a room, it establishes a
|
|
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebSocket"
|
|
target="_blank">
|
|
websocket
|
|
</a>
|
|
connection to VROOM server.
|
|
This is called the signaling channel.
|
|
With this, all peers are able to exchange small messages with each other.
|
|
But messages sent through this channels are routed through VROOM server,
|
|
so it's not peer to peer yet
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
When a second peer joins the same room, he gets informations about how
|
|
to connect directly to the other one(s) through this signaling channel.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Now, both peer exchange their video and audio stream directly
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
The signaling channel stays open and is used to transmit non sensitive informations
|
|
(peer colors synchronization, notification of muting/kicking etc...)
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Everything else (audio/video/text chat) is sent directly between peers through data channels
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="alert alert-warning">
|
|
As long as possible, data channels and audio/video streams are established directly between peers,
|
|
but in some situations, this is not possible (NAT, restrictive firewalls etc...). In those cases
|
|
data streams are relayed through a

VROOM is composed of two distincts
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
The client side: written in Javascript, it's the code executed on the browsers. This is where
|
|
webcam streams are captured and sent to other peers. The biggest part is

</a>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
The server side: mainly written in Perl using the fabulous
|
|

|
|
target="_blank">
|
|
Mojolicious
|
|
</a>
|

|
|
are managed. The backend uses an SQL (MySQL is the only supported engine for now) to store configurations

If you want to run your own VROOM instance, you'll need the following components

|
<li>
|

A MySQL compatible server (MySQL or MariaDB)
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
A webserver supporting HTTPS and reverse proxying, including websocket reverse
|
|
proxying (Apache can do this with mod_proxy_wstunnel)

|
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 reasons, I recommend running Apache as webserver (others like Nginx probably work too,
|
|
but I provide configuration sample only for Apache)
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="alert alert-warning">
|
|
VROOM can probably work with other database engines (like PostgreSQL) with minor modifications.
|
|
If you're interrested in adding support, you're welcome to help

</div>
|
|
<div class="alert alert-warning">
|
|
While VROOM should run on any distro, it's only tested on CentOS 7 x86_64,
|
|
so it's the recommended platform.
|
|
Also, all dependencies are available as RPM in

If you have it running on another system, please send me your notes so I can update this documentation.

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
|

mysql -uroot</pre>
|

CREATE DATABASE `vroom` CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;

|

Redis is used to share data between the various workers (when running with hypnotoad) and
|
|
pass messages between peers connected on different workers. It doesn't require very specific settings.
|
|
You can use this sample configuration:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
cp -a /etc/redis.conf /etc/redis.conf.default
|
|
cat <<'_EOF' > /etc/redis.conf
|
|

Two sample apache configurations are provided in the <strong>doc/httpd</strong>

|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<strong>httpd_alias.conf</strong> should work out of the box, VROOM will be available at

https://yourservername/vroom
|

</em>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<strong>httpd_vhost.conf</strong> is an alternative which you can use if you prefer
|
|
working with named virtualhosts (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/

In either case, you might want to adjust the apache configuration

The admin interface of VROOM will be available on /vroom/admin (alias) or

/admin (vhost) and <strong>must</strong> be protected by your web server.
|

VROOM provides <strong>no authentication at all</strong>.
|
|
In the sample configuration, the access is restricted to localhost,
|
|
but you can change this to anything you want
|
|

You also have to make sure the <strong>mod_proxy_wstunnel</strong>

module is enabled, which is not the case by default on CentOS 7

<pre>

process. If you plan to use VROOM only on a local network, where each peer can connect to
|

each others, you can just omit this part. But if you want VROOM to work from anywhere,
|

you'll need to use STUN and most likely TURN too.
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<strong>stun_server</strong>: The STUN server(s) to use. For example
|
|
<kbd>stun_server = 'stun:stun.l.google.com:19302','stun:vroom.example.net:3478'</kbd>.
|
|
This must be a comma separated list of full STUN URI as defined by

|
|
<kbd>turn_server = 'turns:vroom.example.net:5349','turns:vroom.example.net:5349?transport=tcp'</kbd>.
|
|
This must be a comma separated list of full STUN URI as defined by

</a>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<strong>credentials</strong>: This defines what TURN credentials are sent to clients.
|
|
It can take two values:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<strong>static</strong>: With this mode, you're using a single set of credentials
|
|
(defined in <strong>turn_user</strong> and <strong>turn_password</strong>) and they
|
|
will be used by every peer in every room
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<strong>rest</strong>: In this mode, VROOM will generate
|
|

|
|
target="_blank">
|
|

|
</a>
|
|
compatible credentials for each room. Each credentials set will be valid only
|
|
for 5 minutes. You must set <strong>secret_key</strong> to the same secret key
|
|
set in your TURN server. This is of course the prefered method.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<strong>turn_user</strong> and <strong>turn_password</strong>: To use your TURN server,
|
|
you'll most likely require credentials. If using static credentials, you must set this to
|
|
the username and password the clients will use
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<strong>secret_key</strong>: When using the <strong>rest</strong> credentials method,
|
|
set this to the secret key shared with the turn server
|

|

A bigger number will provide a better quality stream but will also require more

<li>
|
|
<strong>chrome_extension_id</strong>: This is the ID of the Chrome extension proposed to
|
|
clients when trying to share screen for the first time (obviously, only for Chrome users).
|
|
The reason this is configurable is because the extension requires the allowed websites to be listed.
|
|
Two extensions are provided, the default (ecicdpoejfllflombfanbhfpgcimjddn) will work everywhere
|
|
but allows screen capture on any website, which can be a security risk.

The other extension (lfkdfilifapafomlhaaihfdglamkmdme) only works on
