OpenRTC

OpenRTC is a self-hosted OSS realtime layer for SaaS teams.

Monorepo layout

• server/: Go core backend module. It builds openrtc-runtime and openrtc-admin.
• packages/client/: TypeScript WebSocket client for rooms, events, and presence.
• packages/react/: React hooks for room state, presence, and broadcast events.
• packages/rich-text/: Yjs binding helpers plus presence adapters for Tiptap, Lexical, and BlockNote selection/cursor state.
• packages/yjs/: Yjs provider for binary update/snapshot sync plus an awareness bridge over OpenRTC presence.
• packages/yjs-compactor/: Trusted Yjs update compactor for Redis-backed document retention.
• reference-app/: production-style reference app (M5).
• docs/: protocol, contracts, config, release, and engineering docs.

Deployment model

• One Go image is built from server/.
• The image runs either openrtc-runtime or openrtc-admin via command/args.
• openrtc-runtime owns WebSocket traffic, room state, access-grant checks, presence, Yjs sync, limits, and cluster fan-out.
• openrtc-admin owns room metadata/access grants, storage documents/patches, durable threads/comments, inbox notifications/settings, active-user reads, publish, presence, stats, and admin HTTP endpoints.
