There seem to be a few outstanding bugs and patches against the git repo. I totally realize that fiddling with webrtc is way more fun (I am fiddling with janus and sylkserver too!), but rolling those babel bugs up and :puppy dog eyes: getting the hash authentication in and maybe unicast over wireguard... would be nice to get done before the next openwrt release.
I think - but am not sure - one of the bugs involves getting default ipv4 routes right. ( https://github.com/jech/babeld/issues ). I did deploy 1.9.1 on default router box a week or so back and the default route ended up with a huge metric only one hop away which made no sense. (Aside from the main gateways, my entire network is upgraded to 1.9.1 now) On the webrtc front... what you just did is a great showcase for the power of go! Chrome browser rejects your test server with an invalid cert. (Getting a let's encrypt cert is straightforward....) I like very much a world where you can host small private conferences on your own host or server at home, away from more prying eyes... or your own security cams should the zombies invade. I've been looking over security cameras of late, and things like zoneminder, and it appears nobody cares about the actual security of the cameras - but features! Features! features! It seemed like webrtc would be a great transport for security cams, and "Amaryllo" is doing interesting things... but... https://www.callstats.io/blog/2018/08/29/surveillance-is-becoming-effortless-and-smarter-due-to-real-time-communication-webrtc-rtc-verticals-series On Sat, Apr 11, 2020 at 4:31 AM Juliusz Chroboczek <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi, > > In case anyone is looking for more secure alternatives to the commecial > videoconferencing offerings... > > I've been doing my lectures over BigBlueButton.
