Janus WebRTC Server
The well-known open-source general-purpose WebRTC server and gateway.
Janus is the well-known open-source, general-purpose WebRTC server and gateway from Meetecho. Rather than a single fixed application, Janus is a modular WebRTC core with a plugin model: each plugin implements a use case (echo test, video rooms / SFU, audio bridge, SIP gateway, live streaming, text rooms and more), and browsers and apps drive them over the Janus API.
Deployed from the NetActuate marketplace it boots ready to use in a PoP close to your users: the plain HTTP Janus API answers on :8088 (base path /janus) within seconds of first boot, with the echotest, videoroom and streaming demo plugins loaded so you can point the upstream demos at it immediately. The admin/monitor HTTP API on :7088 is enabled and protected by a generated admin secret stored write-only in your secret list. Host networking exposes the WebRTC ICE/RTP media range and the auto-detected public IP so real WebRTC sessions connect out of the box.
