Pion WebRTC VS kvdi

I am really excited about https://github.com/sepfy/libpeer. It has examples ready for ESP32 etc....

When working on KVS I wasn't familiar with the embedded space at all. I saw 'heavyweight' embedded where you were running on Linux. Then you had RTOS/No OS at all. I wasn't prepared for these devices at all. If we can make WebRTC work in the embedded space I think it will really accelerate what developers are able to build!

Remotely driven cars, security cameras, robots in hospitals that bring iPads to infectious patients etc... Creative people are building amazing things. The WebRTC/video space needs to work harder and support them :)

I love how diverse the WebRTC space is now. Outside of this implementation you have plenty of other options!

I have worked four jobs related to https://github.com/pion/webrtc and one for https://webrtcforthecurious.com

Two companies used Pion. The other two were just using the protocol (WebRTC)

In my experience Go has been relatively approachable for people that are good at PHP. It has a great standard library and a pretty solid ecosystem, though frameworks aren’t as popular in Go. There are some well regarded libraries for things like WebRTC via https://github.com/pion/webrtc WebSicket via https://github.com/nhooyr/websocket

Don't try to make RTC yourself, it looks easy, but in fact, it's a really hard problem to solve. Use https://pion.ly/ it's a pretty solid package they also have a discord/slack channel with a lot of helpful people there.

Maybe you can reuse some of this code: https://github.com/pion/webrtc/blob/master/examples/data-channels/main.go

It became too much for me to continue doing on my own, but people still ask for help and features til this day. https://github.com/kvdi/kvdi

If you want to sink into Kubernetes, I've been desperately seeking more contributors on kvdi for a while. It's a virtual desktop infrastructure running on K8s. Tons of features to be added, tons of issues/requests to be addressed. It just don't pay the bills and I got a full-time day job. But if you are interested in hacking on it, let me know.

I had to do some modifications to get it working on my pi cluster. But I've used this successfully: https://github.com/kvdi/kvdi

I think in the particular case I care most about I wouldn't have to worry about it. The big players all have equivalent offerings with larger budgets, better features, and insane pricing. It's a VDI running on k8s.

I tried to use pion for the audio functionality in this project at first, but my head had trouble wrapping around how it could be implemented easily on the platform in use (k8s). That being said, seeing this post made me want to potentially give it another go.

This is an example multi-stage Dockerfile that does it
