The aim of this project is develop a WebRTC screenshare designed for streaming video games and
accepting remote inputs.
There will be ansible instructions which can be executed inside into any virtual environment. This will
be a plugin which complements the project [P2PRC](https://p2prc.akilan.io)
## Testing with Xplane 11

## Laplace
Based on the fork:
https://github.com/Akilan1999/laplace/tree/keyboard_mouse
## Installation
### Installation required to share keyboard and mouse
We need to ensure that the client has SSH client installed.
We use the popular open repository known as [x2x](https://github.com/dottedmag/x2x).
Note: x2x runs on top of SSH.
#### What is x2x?
x2x allows the keyboard, mouse on one X display to be used to control another X
display. It also shares X clipboards between the displays.
### Build from source
```bash
# Assumes to be running on ubuntu 20.04
# Ports required to be allocated internally:
# - 8888 (laplace server)
# Updating and installing go compiler
apt update
apt install -y golang
apt install -y jq
## Installing git
apt install -y git
# Installing OpenSSH server
apt install -y openssh-server
## Installing x2x
apt install -y x2x
## Installing chromium
wget https://github.com/RobRich999/Chromium_Clang/releases/download/v94.0.4585.0-r904940-linux64-deb-avx/chromium-browser-unstable_94.0.4585.0-1_amd64.deb
apt install -y ./chromium-browser-unstable_94.0.4585.0-1_amd64.deb
#
## clone remotegameplay distribution
git clone https://github.com/Akilan1999/remotegameplay
## enter cloned directory
cd remotegameplay
# sets REMOTEGAMEPLAY path
export REMOTEGAMING=$PWD
# Build laplace binary file
go build .
# Set configuration laplace file
./laplace -setconfig
# Open config.json file and add SSH password for x2x
```
### Program Execution
Executing this project basically serves an HTTP server that will host the frontend and the WebSocket implementation.
Note that you sometimes need to run HTTPs in order for browser to connect to websocket.
```bash
$ ./laplace --help
-BinaryToExecute string
Providing path (i.e Absolute path) of binary to execute
-addr string
Listen address (default "0.0.0.0:443")
-certFile string
TLS cert file (default "files/server.crt")
-headless
Creating screenshare using headless mode
-keyFile string
TLS key file (default "files/server.key")
-killChromium
Kills all chromuim
-killServer
Kills the laplace
-roomInfo
Getting room id of headless server
-setconfig
Generates a config file
-tls
Use TLS
```
By default, you can run the executable without any argument to listen to TLS port 443.
A self-signed certificate files are provided to ease up development. If you want to run
with barrier KVM. Run as non-root.
### Starting game when screen-share is triggered
This requires creating a bash script to trigger when the screenshare begins.
#### Ex: Start Xplane 11
Let's call this script xplane11.sh
```bash
# Navigating to the directory where XPlane11 is present
cd /path/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/X-Plane\ 11/
# Execute Xplane 11 binary
./X-Plane-x86_64
```
#### Open config file
```bash
{
"barrierhostname": "",
"ipaddress": "0.0.0.0",
"rooms": "",
"scripttoexecute": "",
"systemusername": ""
}
```
### Call from built script which starts the server , creates room and outputs the ID
```bash
sh run.sh
```
Note: This script starts the server using the port 8888 by default
The 2 steps below are if you want to start them command by command
### Starting server
```bash
$ ./laplace -tls -addr 0.0.0.0:8888
2020/03/25 01:01:10 Listening on TLS: 0.0.0.0:8888
```
### Starting screenshare
```bash
./laplace -headless -addr
```
You can then open https://localhost:8888/ to view Laplace page.
You may need to add certificate exceptions. In Chrome, you can type `thisisunsafe`.
