This project implements a real-time communication system using Mediasoup and Nest.js. Mediasoup is an advanced WebRTC SFU (Selective Forwarding Unit) designed for high-performance video and audio streaming. Nest.js is a modern Node.js framework that facilitates the creation of efficient, reliable, and scalable server-side applications.

Combining Mediasoup and Nest.js provides a powerful solution for applications involving real-time video conferencing, live streaming, and interactive media.

Follow these steps to set up and run the application:

1. Install Dependencies

   npm install

2. Configure the Environment

   Copy the example environment file and adjust the settings:

   cp .env.example .env

   Open the .env file and update the SERVER_PUBLIC_IP with the appropriate IP address.

3. Run the Application

   Start the application in development mode:

   npm run start:dev

4. Access the Application

   Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000 to use the application.

To enable HTTPS, you have two options:

1. Using Nginx or Apache as a Reverse Proxy

   Configure Nginx or Apache to handle HTTPS and proxy requests to your application. This is a common approach for securing applications and managing SSL/TLS certificates.

   • Nginx Configuration Example:

     server {
         listen 443 ssl;
         server_name yourdomain.com;
     
         ssl_certificate /path/to/ssl_certificate.pem;
         ssl_certificate_key /path/to/ssl_certificate_key.pem;
     
         location / {
             proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
             proxy_set_header Host $host;
             proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
             proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
             proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
         }
     }
     
     server {
         listen 80;
         server_name yourdomain.com;
         return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
     }

   • Apache Configuration Example:

     <VirtualHost *:443>
         ServerName yourdomain.com
         SSLEngine on
         SSLCertificateFile /path/to/ssl_certificate.pem
         SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/ssl_certificate_key.pem
     
         ProxyRequests Off
         ProxyPass / http://localhost:3000/
         ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:3000/
     </VirtualHost>
     
     <VirtualHost *:80>
         ServerName yourdomain.com
         Redirect permanent / https://yourdomain.com/
     </VirtualHost>

2. Using HTTPS Directly in Your Application

   If you prefer to configure HTTPS directly in your application, modify the .env file:

   • Set ENABLE_HTTPS to true.
   • Provide the paths to your SSL key and certificate files using the SSL_KEY_FILE and SSL_CERT_FILE variables.

   Ensure you have the necessary certificates and keys, and the application is configured to use them.
