This is a SaltyRTC server implementation for Python 3.6 or 3.7 using asyncio. (Note that currently Python 3.8+ is not supported! We recommend using Python 3.7.)
On machines where Python 3 is not the default Python runtime, you should use pip3
instead of pip
.
We recommend using venv to create an isolated Python environment:
You can switch into the created virtual environment venv by running this command:
While the virtual environment is active, all packages installed using pip
will be installed into this environment.
To deactivate the virtual environment, just run:
If you want easier handling of your virtualenvs, you might also want to take a look at virtualenvwrapper.
If you are using a virtual environment, activate it first.
Install the module by running:
The dependency libnacl
will be installed automatically. However, you may need to install libsodium for libnacl
to work.
The script saltyrtc-server
will be automatically installed and provides a command line interface for the server.
Run the following command to see detailed usage information:
All command line options are also available as environment variables by prefixing them with SALTYRTC_SERVER_ and the upper case command name, followed by the option name in upper case. For example: SALTYRTC_SERVER_SERVE_PORT=8765.
Generate a new private permanent key:
Run the following command to start the server on any address with port `8765`:
Alternatively, provide the options via environment variables:
You can also use our official Docker images to run the server:
The above command maps port 8765 of the server within the container to port 8765 on the host machine.
Of course it is also possible to use environment variables to provide the options, as explained in the previous section.

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