A bit off-topic, but since I was looking at doing a side project with a P2P feature, would appreciate if I could pick your brain for a bit: don't you still need to run the STUN and TURN servers? Can you run those using Vercel's serverless functions?
- vmfunction 3y agolook at https://peerjs.com https://peerjs.com that this the project is using.
- BrandoElFollito 3y agoThis looks like an implementation of STUN - there are no miracles, if two machines are behind NATs someone need to broker the connection.
- Vinnl 3y agoHmm thanks, so that says: > To broker connections, PeerJS connects to a PeerServer. Note that no peer-to-peer data goes through the server; The server acts only as a connection broker. > If you don't want to run your own PeerServer, we offer a free cloud-hosted version of PeerServer. So I suppose there's still a server, but it's shared and run by two folks based on donations: https://peerjs.com/peerserver https://peerjs.com/peerserver
- cl3misch 3y agoWithout data going through the server it should be pretty cheap to host, right?
- dkraj 3y agoThat is why there are public STUN servers available by google that any one can use: stun.l.google.com:19302 stun1.l.google.com:19302 stun2.l.google.com:19302 stun3.l.google.com:19302 stun4.l.google.com:19302
- llmblockchain 2y agoI used peerjs years ago (2013~). It was a whole lot of pain back then... I assume things have gotten better, but damn was it painful! I ended up forking and fixing/maintaining my own fork because it was too slow to get things fixed in master.
- dkraj 3y agoA STUN server is required for discoverability and if still ICE candidates are not found or a negotiation can not take place, I just shows an error for now. About vercel I am not sure need to check whether it provides or not
