Local deployment problem

[wudanwei]

What can I do if there is no domain name in Intranet deployment? Can I use IP?

If it is for development purposes, I would recommend this setup: https://openvidu.io/latest/docs/self-hosting/local/

In case it is a prod deployment in a LAN, you can't use IPs but you can use services like sslip.io or openvidu-local.dev to workaround.

For example if the private ip of your machine is 10.0.0.5 you can set up this domain name:

10-0-0-5.sslip.io or 10-0-0-5.openvidu-local.dev.

You also need to set up your own certificate and install it on every machine which will use the server.

So, what I would do is:

1. Create a certificate with mkcert or whatever tool you want to use to generate it.
2. Install Openvidu with Certificate Type: owncert and configure the created certificate.
3. Configure as domain: <your-ip>.sslip.io or <your-ip>.openvidu-local.dev

Also make sure to configure this in livekit.yaml:

rtc:
    use_external_ip: false
    node_ip: <your_private_ip>

Use the latest version 3.0.0 and let me know if this works for you!
