janus behind nginx in WSL2

[Srinivas Bakki]

Hi,

     I'm running janus in WSL2 windows 10. I have put it behind nginx whose config is :

server {
    listen 5000;
    root /home/sbakki/Janus/webserver/web/;
    index index.html;

    location ~* \.(js|jpg|png|css)$ {
            root /home/sbakki/Janus/webserver/web/;
    }

    location /janus {
            proxy_pass http://localhost:8088/janus/;
    }
}

On the windows machine i'm forwarding everything on port 5000 to WSL ip. I'm able to create session. But later attach fails.

Logs:

Using REST API to contact Janus: http://192.168.1.4:5000/janus
janus.js:1059 Created session: 2883249478150274
janus.js:118          GET http://192.168.1.4:5000/janus/2883249478150274?rid=1676451706073&maxev=10 net::ERR_ABORTED 404 (Not Found)
janus.js:692 API call failed: {message: 'API call failed', response: Response}

Janus is reachable but somehow it doesnt attache with the session ID. Can somebody tell what i'm doing wrong here.

Thanks,

I did proceed ahead, I had to include a '/' after janus as in :

server = "http://" + "192.168.1.4"  + ":5000/janus/"
in settings.js  Now, it goes ahead and fails with getUserMedia:

Can somebody help with this ??

getUserMedia only works on https, not http.

Hi,

     I've installed libmicrohttpd-dev package that comes with ubuntu. However that fails to start https server :

Binding to all interfaces for the Janus API HTTP webserver
HTTP webserver started (port 8088, /janus path listener)...
Using certificates:
        /opt/janus/certs/janus-selfsigned.crt
        /opt/janus/private/janus-selfsigned.key
Binding to all interfaces for the Janus API HTTPS webserver
[FATAL] [transports/janus_http.c:janus_http_init:843] Couldn't start secure webserver on port 8089...
Admin/monitor HTTP webserver disabled
Admin/monitor HTTPS webserver disabled
JANUS REST (HTTP/HTTPS) transport plugin initialized!

Do i have to build it by hand enabling HTTPS or is it enabled already ? The version install is : libmicrohttpd-dev:amd64 (0.9.75-3ubuntu1)

Thanks for any help.

Don't enable https in Janus, let nginx deal with that since you're using it already.
