Signalmaster is a simple Node.js socket.io server that handles WebRTC signaling for peer-to-peer connections, built as the default connection point for SimpleWebRTC.js. It can also vend STUN/TURN credentials using the shared secret mechanism, and can be embedded in an Express app or run via Docker.

Use cases

• run a signaling server for WebRTC video chat
• exchange SDP offers and ICE candidates between browsers
• self-host a backend for SimpleWebRTC.js clients
• serve time-limited TURN credentials with a shared secret
• embed WebRTC signaling into an existing Express app

When to choose

• you need a minimal, self-hosted WebRTC signaling server for a legacy SimpleWebRTC setup
• you want a small Node.js socket.io signaling layer you can extend yourself

When to avoid

• you are starting a new project - the project is deprecated and unmaintained
• you need a maintained signaling solution with modern WebRTC features
• you need TURN relay infrastructure itself rather than just credential vending
