Here's how we scaled it to support 1000 user per call https://youtu.be/LWwOSZJwEJI

MVP of a teleconferencing system written in rust, both the backend and the UI.
Technically you could run this with a single computer, but it is more fun if you use 2+.
- Open chrome://flags on all the computers that you want to use to test the tele-conferencing system, add the ip of the computer that you will use as the server to the Insecure origins treated as secure list.
-
Start the servers on the computer that you intend to use as the server using
ACTIX_UI_BACKEND_URL=ws://<server-ip>:8080 make up(requires docker). -
If your server computer is behind a firewall, make sure that TCP ports 80 and 8080 are open
-
Connect all computers to
http://<server-ip>/meeting/<username>/<meeting-id> -
Make sure that you "allow" access to your mic and camera:
- Click connect on both browsers, and enjoy:

Contains 3 sub-projects
- actix-api: actix web server
- yew-ui: Yew frontend
- types: json serializable structures used to communicate the frontend and backend.
- Install docker https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/
- Run one of the supported make commands
make test
make up
make down
make build
-
Create a postgresql database that you can accessed without a password. The default database name is
actix-api-db, i.e. the default connection string ispostgresql://$USER@localhost/actix-api-db -
Install [trurl](see https://github.com/curl/trurl) and [nats-server]((see https://docs.nats.io/running-a-nats-service/introduction/installation)
-
Run the script
./start_dev.sh.It examines various environment variables to control the behavior; see the script itself for details. By default it runs using websockets rather than webtransport (
WEBTRANSPORT_ENABLED=0) and without encryption (E2EE_ENABLED=0). -
Connect your browser to
http://localhost:8081/meeting/<username>/<meeting-id>You can make multiple connections (with varying usernames) from multiple browser windows or tabs.
If you are using encryption (
E2EE_ENABLED=1), you should lanuch Chrome with the necessary options for it to accept the local certificate by running./launch_chrome.sh

The Actix websocket implementation contains fragments from https://github.com/JasterV/chat-rooms-actix in particular the usage of an actor to orchestrate all sessions and rooms.
