A SaltyRTC compliant signalling server.

Project description

SaltyRTC Signalling Server
==========================

|Travis| |codecov| |PyPI| |Gitter|

This is a SaltyRTC server implementation for Python 3.4+ using
`asyncio`_.

Note
****

On machines where Python 3 is not the default Python runtime, you should
use ``pip3`` instead of ``pip``.

Prerequisites
*************

.. code-block:: bash

$ sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip

We recommend using `venv`_ to create an isolated Python environment:

.. code-block:: bash

$ pyvenv venv

You can switch into the created virtual environment *venv* by running
this command:

.. code-block:: bash

$ source venv/bin/activate

While the virtual environment is active, all packages installed using
``pip`` will be installed into this environment.

To deactivate the virtual environment, just run:

.. code-block:: bash

$ deactivate

If you want easier handling of your virtualenvs, you might also want to
take a look at `virtualenvwrapper`_.

Installation
************

If you are using a virtual environment, activate it first.

Install the module by running:

.. code-block:: bash

$ pip install saltyrtc.server

The dependency ``libnacl`` will be installed automatically. However, you
may need to install `libsodium`_ for ``libnacl`` to work.

Command Line Usage
******************

The script ``saltyrtc-server`` will be automatically installed and
provides a command line interface for the server. Run the following
command to see usage information:

.. code-block:: bash

$ saltyrtc-server --help

Contributing
************

If you want to contribute to this project, you should install the
optional ``dev`` requirements of the project in an editable environment:

.. code-block:: bash

$ git clone https://github.com/saltyrtc/saltyrtc-server-python.git
$ cd saltyrtc-server-python
$ pip install -e .[dev]

Before creating a pull request, it is recommended to run the following
commands to check for code style violations (``flake8``), optimise
imports (``isort``) and run the project's tests:

.. code-block:: bash

$ flake8 .
$ isort -rc .
$ py.test

Changelog
*********
