PeerServer: A server for PeerJS

PeerServer helps broker connections between PeerJS clients. Data is not proxied through the server.

##http://peerjs.com

If you prefer to use a cloud hosted PeerServer instead of running your own, sign up for a free API key here

Run PeerServer

Install the library:

$> npm install peer

Run the server:

$> peerjs --port 9000 --key peerjs

Or, create a custom server:

var PeerServer = require('peer').PeerServer;
var server = new PeerServer({ port: 9000 });

Connecting to the server from PeerJS:

<script>
    // No API key required when not using cloud server
    var peer = new Peer('someid', {host: 'localhost', port: 9000});
</script>

Using HTTPS: Simply pass in PEM-encoded certificate and key.

var fs = require('fs');
var PeerServer = require('peer').PeerServer;

var server = new PeerServer({
  port: 9000,
  ssl: {
    key: fs.readFileSync('/path/to/your/ssl/key/here.key'),
    certificate: fs.readFileSync('/path/to/your/ssl/certificate/here.crt')
  }
});
