How to run Spreed WebRTC with Apache in subpath

To support Spreed WebRTC with an Apache HTTP Server, you require at least Apache version 2.4.5 to be able to proxy Websocket protocol. All current distributions should have this in their repositories.

Make sure you have the mod_proxy_wstunnel, proxy, proxy_http and headers modules enabled. On Ubuntu, this goes like this a2enmod proxy proxy_http proxy_wstunnel headers.

Add the configuration section from below to your Apache virtual host to make Spreed WebRTC available below the /webrtc subpath. Note that Spreed WebRTC does require HTTPS and thus needs to be available via HTTPS.

Apache configuration sniplet

	<Location /webrtc>
		ProxyPass http://127.0.0.1:8080/webrtc
		ProxyPassReverse /webrtc
	</Location>

	<Location /webrtc/ws>
		ProxyPass ws://127.0.0.1:8080/webrtc/ws
	</Location>

	ProxyVia On
	ProxyPreserveHost On
	RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto 'https' env=HTTPS

Spreed WebRTC subpath configuration

To let Spreed WebRTC know that it is running in a subpath, you need to set the basePath configuration in the [http] section of your server.conf. Use the same value as for the <Location ...> in the Apache configuration. So if you use the example from above, make sure you have basePath = /webrtc in your Spreed WebRTC server.conf. Restart Spreed WebRTC after the change. Also make sure to use the same port in the ProxyPass lines as they are set in the [http] listen setting of server.conf.

Done, now testing

Make sure to reload Apache. Spreed WebRTC should become available at https://yourserver/webrtc and is ready to be used from the Nextcloud plugin. Note: Your browser might cache redirects. If you get redirected, clear your browser cache and try again.

That's it.
