What do you mean "awful lot of MITM going on for WebRTC"?

It's not that difficult to set up your own WebRTC site with whatever user identification approach you like.

MITM in this case is that I wanted to self publish my own webrtc server, with code that just worked, anywhere I wanted. Instead we have hangouts and appear.in.

If there has been substantial work on making a usable local webrtc
service rendezvous service and relevant javascript for it, please point me at it!!!

I didn't mean MITM on the voice/video part, but on the rendezvous part.

I haven't tested it locally yet, but I think Jitsi might be what you're looking for?

Most promising in my opinion is Janus: https://janus.conf.meetecho.com/

Jitsi has existed for a long time, but your remarks about local javascript makes me suspect that you will like the approach taken by Janus.

Maybe you want to give Nextcloud Talk a try? https://nextcloud.com/talk/

Just download the zip file, extract it to a web directory, visit the page to complete the installation, enable the talk appand you have your own web conferencing system and much more
