## Installation

Install `NodeJS 18.X` and `npm` using [Node Version Manager](https://docs.mirotalk.com/utility/nvm/)
---
## Quick start
```bash
# Clone this repo
$ git clone https://github.com/miroslavpejic85/call-me.git
# Go to to dir call-me
$ cd call-me
# Copy the config file
$ cp public/config.template.js public/config.js
# Copy .env.template to .env
$ cp .env.template .env
# Install dependencies
$ npm install
# Start the server
$ npm start
```
Check if is correctly installed: [http://YOUR.DOMAIN.NAME:8000](http://YOUR.DOMAIN.NAME:8000)
---
## Using [PM2](https://pm2.keymetrics.io) (Process Manager)

```bash
# Install pm2
$ npm install -g pm2
# Start the server
$ pm2 start app/server.js
# Takes a snapshot
$ pm2 save
# Add it on startup
$ pm2 startup
```
---
## Using Docker

```bash
# Install docker
$ sudo apt install -y docker.io
# Instal docker-compose
$ sudo apt install -y docker-compose
# Clone this repo
$ git clone https://github.com/miroslavpejic85/call-me.git
# Go to to dir call-me
$ cd call-me
# Copy .env.template to .env
$ cp .env.template .env
# Create your own docker-compose.yml
$ cp docker-compose.template.yml docker-compose.yml
# Pull the official Docker image
$ docker pull mirotalk/cme:latest
# Create and start containers (-d as daemon)
$ docker-compose up
```
Check if is correctly installed: [http://YOUR.DOMAIN.NAME:8000](http://YOUR.DOMAIN.NAME:8000)

## Configuring Nginx & Certbot

In order to use it without the port number and to have encrypted communications, we going to install **[nginx](https://www.nginx.com)** and **[certbot](https://certbot.eff.org)**
```bash
# Install Nginx
$ sudo apt-get install -y nginx
# Install Certbot (SSL certificates)
$ sudo apt install -y snapd
$ sudo snap install core; sudo snap refresh core
$ sudo snap install --classic certbot
$ sudo ln -s /snap/bin/certbot /usr/bin/certbot
# Configure Nginx
$ sudo vim /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
```
Add the following:
```bash
# HTTP — redirect all traffic to HTTPS
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name YOUR.DOMAIN.NAME;
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}
```
```bash
# Test Nginx configuration
$ sudo nginx -t
# Enable HTTPS with Certbot (follow the instruction)
$ sudo certbot certonly --nginx
# Add Let's Encrypt configuration to Nginx
$ sudo vim /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
```
Add the following:
```bash
# CallMe - HTTPS — proxy all requests to the Node app
server {
# Enable HTTP/2
listen 443 ssl http2;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
server_name YOUR.DOMAIN.NAME;
# Use the Let’s Encrypt certificates
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/YOUR.DOMAIN.NAME/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/YOUR.DOMAIN.NAME/privkey.pem;
location / {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_pass http://localhost:8000/;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
}
}
```
```bash
# Test Nginx configuration again
$ sudo nginx -t
# Restart nginx
$ service nginx restart
$ service nginx status
# Set up auto-renewal for SSL certificates
$ sudo certbot renew --dry-run
# Show certificates
$ sudo certbot certificates
```
Check Your CallMe instance: [https://YOUR.DOMAIN.NAME](https://YOUR.DOMAIN.NAME)

## Apache Virtual Host (Alternative to Nginx)

If you prefer `Apache`, configure it with the equivalent settings provided in this guide.
```bash
# Edit the apache sites
vim /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/YOUR.DOMAIN.NAME.conf
```
Add the following:
```bash
# HTTP — redirect all traffic to HTTPS
ServerName YOUR.DOMAIN.NAME
Redirect permanent / https://YOUR.DOMAIN.NAME
# CallMe - HTTPS — proxy all requests to the Node app
ServerName YOUR.DOMAIN.NAME
# SSL Configuration
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/YOUR.DOMAIN.NAME/fullchain.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/YOUR.DOMAIN.NAME/privkey.pem
Include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-apache.conf
# Enable HTTP/2 support
Protocols h2 http/1.1
# Proxy Configuration for Node.js App
ProxyPass http://localhost:8000/
ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:8000/
ProxyPreserveHost On
RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-For "%{REMOTE_ADDR}s"
RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto "https"
RequestHeader set Host "%{HTTP_HOST}s"
# Enable WebSocket proxy support for Socket.IO
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Upgrade} =websocket [NC]
RewriteRule /(.*) ws://localhost:8000/socket.io/$1 [P,L]
# Adjust the WebSocket path according to your Socket.IO configuration
# For Socket.IO 3.x or higher, use /socket.io/?EIO=4&transport=websocket
```
```bash
# Check configuration
sudo apache2ctl configtest
sudo a2enmod proxy # Enables the `mod_proxy` module, which is essential for proxying HTTP and WebSocket connections.
sudo a2enmod proxy_http # Enables the `mod_proxy_http` module, which adds support for proxying HTTP connections.
sudo a2enmod proxy_wstunnel # Enables the `mod_proxy_wstunnel` module, which provides support for tunneling WebSocket connections
# Restart apache
sudo systemctl restart apache2
```

## Updating Your Instance
To keep your CallMe instance up to date, create an update script:
```bash
cd
# Create a file p2pUpdate.sh
$ vim callmeUpdate.sh
```
---
For `PM2`:
```bash
#!/bin/bash
cd call-me
git pull
sudo npm install
pm2 restart app/server.js
```
---
For `Docker`:
```bash
#!/bin/bash
cd call-me
git pull
docker-compose pull
docker image prune -f
docker-compose up -d
```
---
Make the script executable
```bash
$ chmod +x callmeUpdate.sh
```
To update your Call-me instance to the latest version, run the script:
```bash
./callmeUpdate.sh
```
