Hosting and deploy peerjs server

Question

to help me with webRTC library 'peer.js'. To get it work i need a my-own server, so i try install peerjs on evennode.com. At hosting settings it's stated Startup command -> Detect automatically (recommended) (Your app is started with npm start in case package.json is available.).

So i did the next actions:

1. created my new application-> http://mypeerjs.eu-4.evennode.com/
2. unpacked and put in the hosting source my repository from https://github.com/peers/peerjs-server

3. in that package .json there is: "scripts": { "test": "mocha test", "start": "peerjs --port 9000 --key peerjs" } also i tried to state (because i ran it from my local server)

   "start": "bin/peerjs --port ${PORT:=9000}"

The issue: The application doesnt start.The log writes next:

2018-01-27 18:41:41 102ea39d5429 ---> Starting app
2018-01-27 18:41:41 102ea39d5429 Detected package.json start script

On my local server it's deployed successfully I unpacked the archive, moved to <path_to_peerjs-server>/bin and used a line to run it with node: node peerjs --port 9000 --key peerjs My server in my home net successfully run, browser peers connects to each other and everything works. HERE IS THE LOG FROM LOCAL SERVER But on the hosting it doesnt so i ask your help. In log, as i got,there is an error

18:41:42 102ea39d5429 npm ERR! peerjs --port 9000 --key peerjs

Thanks for advance!

EDIT i upploaded the application to my hosted server:

var http = require('http');
var server = http.createServer(function(req, res) {
  res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'text/plain' });
  res.end('Hello world!');
});
server.listen(process.env.PORT);

and it works,you may see it. I feel the problem is with listener port opening

Answer 1

let peer = new Peer({host:'peerjs-server.herokuapp.com', secure:true, port:443})

而不是托管您自己的对等服务器

Answer 2

When you create a peer in the script file for your application, include this

const peer = new Peer({
     path: '/peerjs',
     host: '/',
     port: '443'
})

Answer 3

Can also remove port if not need. My server config is like below

const myPeer = new Peer({host: 'peerjs-server.herokuapp.com', secure: true, path: '/peerapp'})

Answer 4

With WebRTC, it will be a mistake to use such an old project like peerjs - no one has updated it in the past 3 years. Don't expect it to work...
