Wowza WebRTC with Reverse proxy

[Chris_Georgoulis]

Hello, my platform details are the following: - OS: CentOS 5.5 - Java: 1.8 - Wowza Streaming Engine 4.7.7

I’m a complete beginner with wowza so I am initially trying to use the ready WebRTC examples. Initially, I created a streamlock certificate/domain, and can publish/play with other nodes in my network. However, these are all internal network IP’s.

What I want to achieve is expose this to the internet. So I have setup a Reverse proxy with the domain: mydomain.mycompany.com with CA certified SSL certificate. Therefore, according to what I have read it is not necessary to use streamlock.

What I basically want to achieve is to use the URL wss://mydomain.mycompany.com/myapp/webrtc-session.json when publishing/subscribing to a WebRTC stream. Could you help me out in how to do this? Do I need to obtain the certificate that I have for the my domain and also include it in VHost.xml, or is that not necessary? Do you maybe have an example on how I could set this up? R

Hi, for proxy passing, I suggest you nginx , do not change anything on your wowza configuration. Set nginx up and define a location

location /webrtc-session.json {
		    proxy_pass http://wowza_webrtc_nodes/webrtc-session.json;
			proxy_http_version 1.1;
			proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
			proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
			proxy_redirect off;
			
			proxy_set_header Host $host;
			proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
			proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
		}

where wowza_webrtc_nodes is

upstream wowza_webrtc_nodes {
		server localhost:8086;
	}

I am a complete beginner with wowza.
I tried this proxy in my nginx but it doesn’t work.
The connection toward port 8086/tcp is no problem.Is it necessary to set something in wowza side?
curl command returned 404 with this address.
http://wowza_webrtc_nodes/webrtc-session.json;
Should I change Host Ports settings?
