Free private deployment of server programs

The following servers are completely free (developed in C language), which is no authentication and can be used in Tencent Cloud, Alibaba Cloud or LAN deployment. Now the following servers are open :

The server program in the web-supported directory contains the program which supports the web and a self-signed certificate.

The server program in the do-not-support-web directory does not support the web side.

Support CentOS 64bit，Ubuntu 64bit. Please install the VM (use bridge mode) or docker test on Windows system.

Deployment(Please switch to root user or execute with sudo)：

1:Download the server program: git clone https://github.com/starrtc/starrtc-server.git Then enter the corresponding directory and execute the command:chmod +x *.sh && ./start.sh,and you have finished the deployment. If you want to run a program alone, continue with the steps below.

2:Go to the appropriate directory to add executable permissions to all server programs: chmod +x *Server

3:Deploy each server program as follows:

The .log suffix file is a log file. You can view related logs by using the command: tail -f xxx.log.

Deployment of Voip server

Start the program in the background:
nohup ./voipServer > voipServer.log 2>&1 &

In order to verify whether the startup is successful, you can start it without background by running the command : ./voipServer.
Then you can judge the startup status by seeing the output log.
If the startup is successful, you can start it in the background.

Note: It is also necessary to deploy msgServer for sending calls, receiving calls and other messages.

Deployment of IM server

IM full service contains 3 server programs. They are:

The message server:msgServer, the offline message data server:chatDBServer, and the group management server:groupServer. These servers can be started separately.

If you just need one-to-one chat, you do not need to start groupServer.

You can keep your original im system unchanged, and use our im system as a signaling service which serves for services such as voip.

Start the program in the background:
nohup ./msgServer     > msgServer.log 2>&1 &
nohup ./chatDBServer  > chatDBServer.log 2>&1 &
nohup ./groupServer   > groupServer.log 2>&1 &

Deployment of chatRoom server

Start the program in the background:
nohup ./chatRoomServer > chatRoomServer.log 2>&1 &

Deployment of liveSrc server

Start the program in the background:
nohup ./liveSrcServer > liveSrcServer.log 2>&1 &

Push RTMP stream test: open the android client app and create a new meeting room, then click RTMP button to fill in the RTMP URL, and click the push stream button. Then you can open the RTMP URL to watch the meeting screen by the other 3rd party player such as VLC player.

You can push the stream in the live broadcast room in the same way, then you can watch the live broadcast with vlc player.

Deployment of liveVdn server

There are unlimited number of viewers in live broadcast chatroom,

Start the program in the background:
nohup ./liveVdnServer > liveVdnServer.log 2>&1 &

Deployment of recording server (videoRecServer)

The video recording function is used for liveSrcServer and voipServer currently,And the output is ts format, the codec of audio only support AAC.

The default mode of saved file is sliced ts segment, you can also choose no segment mode by following step:

Create a new text file called starrtc.conf in the same directory, add a new line: recSegMode=off, that means to disable segment mode.

The format of file directory is：

liveSrcServer:

./RECFOLDER/liveChannels/userId/resSessionId_userId_segmentIndex.ts，如./RECFOLDER/liveChannels/tom/1573119917990_tom_0.ts

voipServer:

./RECFOLDER/voips/userId/resSessionId_userId_segmentIndex.ts，如./RECFOLDER/voips/tom/1573119917990_tom_0.ts

The sessionId is obtained in the mobile SDK, see android docs.

Start the program in the background:
nohup ./videoRecServer > videoRecServer.log 2>&1 &

System message and group operation function Server

the server will be worked when the user uses the AEC advanced mode. For example, sending a system message to a user( such as a notification of purchase successfully ), or sending a group system message to all users of the group((such as someone entering or leaving a group).

Please pay attention that this service is only available for other services on the intranet. Do not expose the port 19922 to the external network!

push system information:
toUsers：all users who need to send a message, which is separated by commas.
msg： Text message that needs to be sent
digest： a summary of the text message that needs to be sent for push mode when the user is offline
http://www.xxx.com:19922/pushSystemMsgToUsers?toUsers=userId1,userId2,userId3,...&msg=xxxx&digest=xxxx

Push group message (all members):   
http://www.xxx.com:19922/pushGroupMsg?groupId=xxx&msg=xxxx

The following five groups-related interfaces are also implemented in the client sdk. The server can synchronize the group members or perform other operations on the group members actively. Please select the appropriate group member synchronization strategy according to actual needs.

Do not pass the parameter groupList means clearing the members of this group when synchronizing.
Synchronization group members:	
groupId: group ID
groupList: All user ids in the group, separated by commas
ignoreList： all user ids which is set for mute message notification, which is separated by commas.
http://www.xxx.com:19922/syncGroupList?groupId=xxx&groupList=userId1,userId2,userId3,...&ignoreList=userId1,userIdx,...

Add group members: 
groupId: group ID
addedUsers: All user ids of the group to be added,which is separated by commas.
http://www.xxx.com:19922/addUsersToGroup?groupId=xxx&addedUsers=userId1,userId2,userId3,...

Delete group members:    
groupId: group ID
deledUsers: All user ids that need to be removed from the group, which is separated by commas.
http://www.xxx.com:19922/delUsersFromGroup?groupId=xxx&deledUsers=userId1,userId2,userId3,...

Set mute:	
groupId: group ID
ignoreList: All user ids that need to be set mute notification from this group,which is separated by commas.
http://www.xxx.com:19922/setPushIgnore?groupId=xxx&ignoreList=userId1,userIdx,...

Unset mute::	
groupId: group ID
ignoreList: All user ids that need to be unset mute notification from this group,which is separated by commas.
http://www.xxx.com:19922/unsetPushIgnore?groupId=xxx&ignoreList=userId1,userIdx,...

Deployment of pull stream server

The server is used to pull a third-party rtsp stream (RTMP stream is not open yet), and convert the stream to the tream starRTC protocol, then forward the stream to liveSrcServer, Then you can play this stream in a meeting room or an interactive live broadcast of each terminal (Android, iOS, PC and web).

Start the program in the background:
nohup ./liveProxyServer > liveProxyServer.log 2>&1 &

Test method: Firstly, you find a rtsp stream that can be played normally (you can also use the default test stream in the demo). Secondly, you can open the android demo, open the settings -> "3rd party flow test ->" create a new stream, fill in the name and the stream's rstp address (you can also use the default test stream without filling in). At the same time, you need to select whether the stream is played in a live room or in a meeting room. At last, you can go to the live room or meeting room to watch the video stream.

You can also call it by using HTTP:

• 1 Create channelId and pull the stream, and the interface will return channelId:

http://www.xxx.com:19932/push?streamType=rtsp&streamUrl=rtsp://184.72.239.149/vod/mp4://BigBuckBunny_175k.mov&roomLiveType=0&roomId=xxxx&extra=xxxxx

roomId and extra are optional parameters

• 2 Pull the stream to the specified channelId:

http://www.xxx.com:19932/push?streamType=rtsp&streamUrl=rtsp://184.72.239.149/vod/mp4://BigBuckBunny_175k.mov&channelId=xxxx

• 3 Stop pulling the stream (do not delete the channelId,which still exists in the list)：

http://www.xxx.com:19932/close?channelId=xxxx

• 4 Stop pulling the stream and deleting the channelId at the same time:

http://www.xxx.com:19932/delete?channelId=xxxx

Port needed to be open

Test method

Downloadclient demo，

Open "Settings -> Server Configuration" and fill in your server ip (you should be careful not to change the port number and you do not need to add the "http://" prefix if you use the demo name instead of ip).

Development of client app

if you develop your own client app based on a private deployment server，please refer to development document，

the demo you can refer to：https://docs.starrtc.com/en/download/

Development of Server

You can open the configuration file named starrtc.conf and modify the value of aecurl (the server does not support https address currently). Please refer to the demo in the server-api directory for development.
