Setting Up LiveKit Server for OpenIM Chat

OpenIM Chat uses the LiveKit server as the media server to support video calls and video meeting services.

About LiveKit

LiveKit is an open-source WebRTC SFU written in Go, built on top of the excellent Pion project. For more information, visit the LiveKit website.

Quick Start

To self-host LiveKit, start the server with the following Docker command:

docker run -d \
    -p 7880:7880 \
    -p 7881:7881 \
    -p 7882:7882/udp \
    -v $PWD/livekit/livekit.yaml:/livekit.yaml \
    livekit/livekit-server \
    --config /livekit.yaml \
    --bind 0.0.0.0

Viewing Logs

To check the server logs and ensure everything is running correctly, use the following command:

docker logs livekit/livekit-server

Configuring the LiveKit Address in OpenIM Chat

Update the config/chat-rpc-chat.yml file to configure the LiveKit server address:

liveKit:
  url: "ws://127.0.0.1:7880" # LIVEKIT_URL, LiveKit server address and port

By following these steps, you can set up and configure the LiveKit server for use with OpenIM Chat.
