How to Build a WebRTC Signal Server with PocketBase

Overview 

If you are new to WebRTC then I suggest checking out this great Fireship video on WebRTC in 100 seconds:

Also if you are looking for a Firebase example then check out this repository which this example is largely based on.

This example is built using PocketBase as the signal server for WebRTC and runs SQLite on the server with easy to use realtime SDKs built on top of Server Sent Events (SSE).

Setting up the server 

Download PocketBase and create a new directory that we will use for the project.

mkdir webrtc-pocketbase-demo
cd webrtc-pocketbase-demo
