Running your own Peer server using Nodejs

[alma...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I followed the tutorial from this link https://github.com/peers/peerjs-server and my code is below:

CLIENT:
<script type="text/javascript" src="../peer.js"></script>
<script>
var peer = new Peer({key: 'lwjd5qra8257b9', debug: 3}, {host: 'my.server.ip', port: 9000, path: '/myapp'});

//some code
</script>

SERVER:
var port = 9000;
var PeerServer = require('peer').PeerServer;
var server = new PeerServer({port: port, path: '/myapp'});
console.log('Peer server running on port: ', port);

The server is running, but if I stop the server, the application still works.

- Does that mean the code is using the Peerjs server as a fallback?
- or the way I connect to the server is wrong?
- How would I know the server I'm connected with?

Thanks,

Hi there!

By "the application still works," do you mean that you're still able
to make connections? That shouldn't be the case--perhaps the server's
not being stopped properly. If you look in your network panel in
Chrome, you should be able to tell where requests are going.
