Coturn

- -
- - WebRTC logo - -

Coturn is a libre STUN and TURN server software that allows users of chat protcols (Such as XMPP and Matrix) to perform WebRTC voice and video calls despite them being behind NATs.

- -

Almost every self-hosted voice and video conferencing program (such as Jitsi and Nextcloud's Talk app) will require Coturn or some other equivalent turnserver to function properly.

- -

Installation

- -

Coturn is available in the Debian repositories:

- - 
apt install coturn
- -

Configuration

- -

Base configuration

- -

Coturn's configuration file is /etc/turnserver.conf. There are a few aspects that need to be changed in order to get a fully-functioning turnserver.

- -

Here is an example of some sane defaults:

- - 
server-name=turn.example.org
-realm=turn.example.org
-listening-ip=your_public_ip
-
-listening-port=3478
-min-port=10000
-max-port=20000
-
-## The "verbose" option is useful for debugging issues
-verbose
- -

Authentication

- -

There are two options for authentication on a turnserver:

-
    -
  1. Usernames and passwords,
    2. -
  2. or authentication secrets.
    3. -
- -

Depending on what self-hosted service is being used in conjunction with Coturn, you may need one or the other of these two options.

- -

Usernames and Passwords

- -

To utilize username and password authentication with Coturn, add the following configuration in turnserver.conf:

- - 
lt-cred-mech
-user=username:password
- -

Authentication Secrets

- -

To utilize authentication secrets with Coturn, add the following configuration in turnserver.conf:

- - 
use-auth-secret
-static-auth-secret=your_auth_secret
- -

TURNS (TLS Encryption)

- -

Some self-hosted services (such as Matrix and XMPP) may support the use of TURNS: An encrypted version of TURN, which allows for WebRTC connections to be established with the use of an encrypted TLS tunnel, just like HTTPS allows for encrypted viewing of websites.

- -

To utilize TURNS, certificates need to be declared for turn.example.org in turnserver.conf: - 

cert=/etc/letsencrypt/live/turn.example.org/fullchain.pem
-pkey=/etc/letsencrypt/live/turn.example.org/privkey.pem
- -

Starting Coturn

- -

After all configuration changes are complete, Coturn can be started with its systemd daemon:

- - 
systemctl restart coturn
- -

Congratulations! You've successfully setup a Coturn server!
