PeerJS alternatives for self-hosting?
It works great! By default it leverages public WebTorrent trackers to connect users, but you can also host your own with https://github.com/webtorrent/bittorrent-tracker.

aquatic: extremely performant open BitTorrent tracker software (UDP, HTTP, WebTorrent)
aquatic_http is a BitTorrent over HTTP over TLS tracker and aquatic_ws is a WebTorrent over TLS tracker. I don't have full current benchmarks comparing them to other options, but in a previous one, aquatic_ws handily outperformed both wt-tracker and bittorrent-tracker.

aquatic BitTorrent tracker: WebTorrent support (1.8M responses/second); new UDP benchmarks (650k rps)
I did some benchmarks with my load testing tool and got very encouraging results: 1.8M tracker responses per second when using 14 threads, compared to a maximum of 117k responses per second for closest competitor wt-tracker. I suspect that the openwebtorrent tracker would be a lot closer in performance to aquatic, but since it only runs over TLS, I couldn’t test it, as the load tester doesn’t support it. More info on the benchmark (PDF).
