I actually have a bunch of doubts

First of all, my understanding: 1. We

Answer 1

Amazon provides Elastic IPs which allow you to make permanent IP addresses for your EC2 hosts.

Here are the full commands required to run the demo from scratch:

# install global dependencies
npm install -g cordova bower grunt-cli

# clone phonertc
git clone https://github.com/alongubkin/phonertc.git

# build client
cd demo/client
npm install
bower install

cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.device
cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.console
cordova plugin add https://github.com/alongubkin/phonertc.git

# follow the instructions for iOS after running this command
cordova platform add ios android  

# before running the next command, make sure to
# change your server details in demo/client/app/scripts/signaling.js 
# and in demo/client/app/scripts/CallCtrl.js 
grunt build --force

# build server
cd ../server
npm install

To run the server:

cd demo/server
node index.js

To run the client on Android:

cordova run android

To run the client on iOS run:

cordova build ios

And run the project from Xcode on a real iOS device.

Answer 2

I got the demo up and running, doing the next steps (Android), with ionic CLI:

# install global dependencies
npm install -g cordova bower grunt-cli

# Get a GIT clone, needed for copying files
git clone https://github.com/alongubkin/phonertc.git

# start new ionic project
ionic create phonertc-ionic
cd phonertc

# Copy files from GIT clone to your ionic project
cp -R phonertc-gitclone\demo\client\* phonertc-ionic\

# install dependencies
npm install
bower install

# install plugins
cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.device
cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.console
cordova plugin add https://github.com/alongubkin/phonertc.git

# add android platform
cordova platform add android

# install/running signaling server
cd phonertc-gitclone/demo/server
npm install
node index.js

# setting up turn server (not sure if needed)
# I installed it on a VirtualBox Ubuntu server, also see:
# https://github.com/alongubkin/phonertc/wiki/Installation
# Next ports should be open to your Ubuntu TURN server:
# TCP 443
# TCP 3478-3479
# TCP 32355-65535
# UDP 3478-3479
# UDP 32355-65535
sudo apt-get install rfc5766-turn-server
# Edit /etc/turnserver.conf and change:
listening-ip=<internal IP VirtualBox Ubuntu>
relay-ip=<internal IP VirtualBox Ubuntu>
external-ip=<internal IP VirtualBox Ubuntu>
min-port=32355 
max-port=65535
realm=<your domain>
# Also uncomment
lt-cred-mech
fingerprint
# Edit /etc/turnuserdb.conf and at the end, add:
username:password
# Start TURN server
sudo /etc/init.d/rfc5766-turn-server start

# before running the next command, make sure to
# change your server details in demo/client/app/scripts/signaling.js 
# and in demo/client/app/scripts/CallCtrl.js 
cd phonertc-ionic/
grunt build --force

# Copy files from phonertc-ionic app dir to www dir
cp -R phonertc-ionic/app/* phonertc-ionic/www/

# Build and run to android
ionic run android

NOTE:

Fill phonertc-ionic and phonertc-gitclone dirs with yours. At this moment I can only test between 2 Android devices. Sound is crap at the moment, but video is great. Trying to build on IOS now.
