Hi,
We're using this Tracker in our app, combined with Novage's P2P Media Loader Demo:
https://github.com/Novage/p2p-media-loader

We downloaded the Demo, changed the default Tracker to one that we created and deployed it online.
The problem is it only works on HTTP (WS) not HTTPS (WSS). How can we get it working on HTTPS? What are the steps?

Heroku repeatedly produces the following error after a client connects to the tracker:

2021-02-13T16:54:08.583372+00:00 heroku[router]: at=error code=H15 desc="Idle connection" method=GET path="/" host=ws.peer.ooo request_id=344c3552-3eb5-4ae6-a989-50bd1b6d933d fwd="123.123.123.123" dyno=web.1 connect=0ms service=56234ms status=503 bytes= protocol=https

Due to the nature of BitTorrent trackers, web sockets is used only to establish communication between peers. No further connection is needed once the peers are connected, so the web sockets channels are closed.

This is a benign error, and will not be addressed. See: https://stackoverflow.com/a/59941248/1551027

Hi Draeder!

Thank you so much for this. I left a note here: chr15m/bugout#43 (comment)

But felt it might make more sense to open the discussion here instead.

When I use this code:

var b = new Bugout("foo.bar", {"announce": ["wss://my-deployment.herokuapp.com"]});

My Bugout instance never finds any peers. Remove the "announce" option, (and refreshing until I actually do get a connection to wss://hub.bugout.link) does work as expected.

Am I missing any steps you took to get this working on your end? :)

Thanks for this! It's cool and I used it for a while to support a bugout based p2p game side project. It worked great, and it's hard to beat the convenience of one click, but I put the project down for a while and when I came back, Heroku free was no more.

Any pointers to other free / easy hosting are appreciated!
