I want to deploy my custom mediasoup server on Google Cloud and use it for my videocalling app on Flutter. I have followed
https://github.com/versatica/mediasoup-demo
I have done the following so far:
Clone the project: $ git clone https://github.com/versatica/mediasoup-demo.git $ cd mediasoup-demo $ git checkout v3 Ensure you have installed the dependencies required by mediasoup to build.
Set up the mediasoup-demo server:
$ cd server $ npm install
But when I do npm install I get
Upgrade to chokidar 3 with 15x fewer dependencies

How to resolve this? Also how to configure a tls certificate? which is the next step after npm install
Could someone please help me with this?
I tried replicating your issue on a fresh VM in Compute Engine, but I was able to successfully execute npm install. Most probably, you have the wrong packages and libraries installed. Here are the steps I did:
VM config:
e2-medium
1 GB Memory
10 GB Disk
Debian 12 Bookworm
Step 1: $ sudo apt update
Step 2: Install python3
$ sudo apt install python3 python3-pip
Step 3: Install node.js
$ sudo apt-get install nodejs
$ sudo apt install npm
Step 4: Double check the versions installed
$ python3 --version
$ nodejs -v
$ npm -v
python3 - Python 3.11.2
node.js - v18.19.0
npm - 9.2.0
Note that these versions are important as they are required by mediasoup to build, as stated in the installation steps.
Follow the steps again. Once you get to the $ npm install part, wait around 20-30 minutes then it should install successfully.
Also how to configure a tls certificate?
After $ npm install, the next step is to copy config.example.js as config.js. In config.js you will put here the TLS certificate details. There are free TLS providers like Let's Encrypt.
In the GitHub doc, click on the TLS certificates link, which should point to line 24 of the config.js file.
