I have canyan janus gateway container running and now i dont know what do do to start the videoRoom example. I did npm install and npm run start but i get errors like that :
You need to issue npm install on both janode (the core library) and the videoroom example.
Then you need to create a configuration for the videoroom example with npm run build config.
From there just edit the configuration to let janode connect to the janus instance and then open the example embedded web-app from a browser.
whenever i try to npm install i have the following errors : PS C:\Users\zakar\Desktop\janode> npm install

I do have python installed !
in the janode section
url is the endpoint on Janus that is hosting the WebSocket API (configured in Janus), if Janus is launched locally that is the default value.
apisecret is the secret for that API channel (configured in Janus).
web section is related to the sample web-app hosted by the videoroom example
port is the port the web server is listening to
bind is the host the web server is listening to (0.0.0.0 will listen on all the interfaces)
key and cert are only needed if you want to test a secure service (optional for quick local testing)
So if everything is correctly configured you just need to start the example and head to the URL pointed in the example logs (e.g)
2024-02-05T09:18:34.464Z - INFO : [index.js] server listening on https://0.0.0.0:4443/janode
It’s trying to open a websocket with 172.17.0.1:8188 but it’s failing.
Maybe the janus process / container is not started, or the port is not available to the machine launching janode.
ok im kinda new to docker here’s whats running :
you think its right ?
Thank you very much for answering 
We do not provide Docker images, I can’t help with that sorry.
You should check if there are configurations available when starting the container.
so having a running container is mandatory to be able run videoroom ?
Having a running janus instance is mandatory of course, either on your machine on another host.
Janode is just a library wrapping the signalling layer.
so i guess i need to find a janus container that works and put the ip of thatcontainer in the config.js it must be the only way for me ?
Every container should work, you just need to configure it properly.
Since you are using Windows, another chance is compiling and running Janus in WSL by yourself.
I know someone else did that.
is this normal that whenever i wanna docker compose this GitHub - canyanio/janus-gateway-docker: Docker image for the Janus WebRTC Server
i have this error :
? thanks in advance
As I said, we do not provide Docker images so I have no idea what is missing to the configuration there
