saltyrtc.server 3.1.2

A SaltyRTC compliant signalling server.

This is a SaltyRTC server implementation for Python 3.4+ using asyncio.

Note

On machines where Python 3 is not the default Python runtime, you should use pip3 instead of pip.

Prerequisites

$ sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip

We recommend using venv to create an isolated Python environment:

$ pyvenv venv

You can switch into the created virtual environment venv by running this command:

$ source venv/bin/activate

While the virtual environment is active, all packages installed using pip will be installed into this environment.

To deactivate the virtual environment, just run:

$ deactivate

If you want easier handling of your virtualenvs, you might also want to take a look at virtualenvwrapper.

Installation

If you are using a virtual environment, activate it first.

Install the module by running:

$ pip install saltyrtc.server

The dependency libnacl will be installed automatically. However, you may need to install libsodium for libnacl to work.

Command Line Usage

The script saltyrtc-server will be automatically installed and provides a command line interface for the server. Run the following command to see usage information:

$ saltyrtc-server --help

Contributing

If you want to contribute to this project, you should install the optional dev requirements of the project in an editable environment:

$ git clone https://github.com/saltyrtc/saltyrtc-server-python.git
$ cd saltyrtc-server-python
$ pip install -e .[dev]

Before creating a pull request, it is recommended to run the following commands to check for code style violations (flake8), optimise imports (isort) and run the project’s tests:

$ flake8 .
$ isort -rc .
$ py.test
