Answer 1

you can run :

npm install peer

Then your server.js you add: `

 //Peer server
    var privateKey  = fs.readFileSync('sslcert/server.key', 'utf8');
    var certificate = fs.readFileSync('sslcert/server.crt', 'utf8');

  const { PeerServer } = require('peer');
  const peerServer = PeerServer({ port: 443, 
                                path: '/' ,
                                ssl: {
                                    key: privateKey,
                                    cert: certificate
                                  }
                            
                            });

` Make sure that on client side (script run on index.html) you have:

myPeer = new Peer({host:'/', 
                  secure:true,
                   port:443,
                path: '/'})

Answer 2

node peerjs --port 9000 --key peerjs

That worked for me on macOS.

peerjs or ./peerjs doesn't work on terminal.

Answer 3

After npm install peer go to /root/node_modules/peer/node_modules/ws. Then add something like

var PeerServer = require('peer').PeerServer;
var server = PeerServer({port: 443, path: '/peerjs'});

in index.js and start the server with nodejs /root/node_modules/peer/node_modules/ws/index.js

Answer 4

There are few ways to get peerjs-server:

1. npm install peer

2. git clone https://github.com/peers/peerjs-server

3. download and unpack zip-file from git

After that go to <path_to_peerjs-server>/bin and run peerjs-server with command:

node peerjs --port 9000 --key peerjs

or

./peerjs --port 9000 --key peerjs

peerjs-server has more options, and you can see them with command ./peerjs without arguments.
