After node-config was bumped to 3.3.9 (from 3.3.6), it started throwing errors if
configurations are mutated without the ALLOW_CONFIG_MUTATIONS env var set.
We mutate some configs directly, but I every time I added one of those I made sure that
they are always deep cloned.
However, we hit an issue with kurento-client mutating a config input, which is an indirect mutation.
So, to prevent further surprises I'm allowing mutations on production while prohibiting them in dev
envs until I'm 100% sure nothing, direct on indirect, improperly mutates configuration values.
bbb-webrtc-sfu (and mediasoup) are running in the CFS scheduler which
means it has to compete with (much) lower priority tasks like
presentation conversion, recording processing, [...]
Since it encompasses an RTC application which also handles audio, it
should be _at least_ on the same scheduling policy as FS/bbb-html5 - and
that should be safer now with mediasoup which has a lower footprint
(and generates lower CPU noise overall).
This commit puts bbb-webrtc-sfu in the FIFO scheduling policy (same as
bbb-html5). Also bumps bbb-html5 nice level up to 18 and sets SFU to
nice 19 (so bbb-html5 has some advantage when push comes to shove).
This can be improved further by using per-process priorities in SFU.
Ideally we'd want mediasoup audio workers and mcs-core to be the same
priority as FS (so higher than bbb-html5), but the rest of them
(video/screen workers) to be the same or lower than bbb-html5. For
future reference:
