# janus-gateway-snap
Helper repo for build Janus WebRTC Server on build.snapcraft.io

## Directories mappings
* `/opt/janus/lib/janus` -> `$SNAP/opt/janus/lib/janus`
* `/opt/janus/share/janus/streams`-> `$SNAP/opt/janus/share/janus/streams`
* `/opt/janus/etc/janus` -> `$SNAP_COMMON/etc`
* `/opt/janus/share/janus/recordings` -> `$SNAP_COMMON/share/recordings`
* `/opt/janus/share/janus/demos/voicemail` -> `$SNAP_COMMON/share/voicemail`

So you can find:
* Configs in `/var/snap/janus-gateway/common/etc` (i.e. `$SNAP_COMMON/etc`)
* Recordings in `/var/snap/janus-gateway/common/share/recordings` (i.e. `$SNAP_COMMON/share/recordings`)
* Voicemail in `/var/snap/janus-gateway/common/share/voicemail` (i.e. `$SNAP_COMMON/share/voicemail`)

## Some hints

* Install Janus latest stable snap: `sudo snap install janus-gateway`;
* Install Janus edge snap (i.e. built from latest `master`): `sudo snap install janus-gateway --edge`;
* View Janus log: `sudo snap logs janus-gateway`;
* View Janus log and wait for new lines: `sudo snap logs janus-gateway -f`;
* Janus snap restart (required after configs edit): `sudo snap restart janus-gateway`;

## Getting Started Guide
1. `sudo apt update`
2. `sudo apt install snapd`
3. Do you need data channel support?
- Y:  stable doesn't have it. See [this discussion](https://github.com/RSATom/janus-gateway-snap/issues/9). If you can deal with daily restarts (e.g., just local testing), then `sudo snap install janus-gateway --edge` will have it. For prod environments, either switch it to dev mode to stop updates, or create your own snap.
- N:  `sudo snap install janus-gateway` 
4. Use logs to check if it's running. Many options:
 - `snap list janus-gateway`
 - `sudo snap logs janus-gateway`
 - `sudo snap logs janus-gateway -f`
 - `sudo snap logs janus-gateway -n=all`
 - `sudo systemctl status snap.janus-gateway.janus-gateway.service`
5. Use `sudo lsof -i -P -n | grep janus` to check ports being listened to
6. Open `/var/snap/janus-gateway/common/etc` to view/modify configs
7. Run the demos locally: `cd /snap/janus-gateway/current/opt/janus/share/janus/demos && python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000`
8. Then visit http://localhost:8000 in your browser.
