Stream a remote desktop screen directly to your browser

WebRTC remote view

Dependencies

• Go 1.12
• If you want h264 support: libx264 (included in x264-go, you'll need a C compiler / assembler to build it)
• If you want VP8 support: libvpx

Architecture

More info in this blog post.

Running the server

The server receives the following flags through the command line:

--http.port (Optional)

Specifies the port where the HTTP server should listen, by default the port 9000 is used.

--stun.server (Optional)

Allows to speficy a different STUN server, by default a Google STUN server is used.

Chrome 74+, Firefox 66+, Safari 12.x are supported. Older versions (within reason) should be supported as well but YMMV.

Building the server

Build the deployment package by runnning make. This should create a tar file with the binary and web directory, by default only support for h264 is included, if you want to use VP8 run make encoders=vp8, if you want both then make encoders=vp8,h264.

Copy the archive to a remote server, decompress it and run ./agent. The agent application assumes the web dir. is in the same directory.

WebRTC requires a secure domain to work, the recommended approach towards this is to forward the agent port thru SSH tunneling:

ssh -L YOUR_LOCAL_PORT:localhost:9000 

Then access the application on http://localhost:YOUR_LOCAL_PORT, localhost should be considered secure by modern browsers.
