## Install and setup gudie for a TURN Relay Server #### why? You may want to deploy one to ensure high compatiblity with remote guests. If you try to use the official OBS.Ninja TURN servers for a private deployment, you may find yourself getting kicked off. This install script and config file was used with a standard virtual machine server loaded with Ubuntu 20. GCP/AWS servers might need slightly different settings. ``` sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install coturn -y sudo add-apt-repository ppa:certbot/certbot sudo apt-get install certbot -y sudo vi /etc/default/coturn ``` ...and we uncomment the line: #TURNSERVER_ENABLED=1 ….leaving it like this: TURNSERVER_ENABLED=1 Next make sure you have the DNS pointing to your IP address for this next step (ipv4, and ipv6 if possible). You will need to validate that in the next step. ``` sudo certbot certonly --standalone sudo apt install net-tools ``` note: If you run into error 701 issues with your TURN server, check that the coturn service has access to your new SSL certificates: see this issue with coturn: https://github.com/coturn/coturn/issues/268 You might also want to consider buying a better certificiate, as not all Google-related projects properly support certbot certificates, including libwebrtc. see [this issue ticket](https://github.com/coturn/coturn/issues/240#issuecomment-648550885). If you go this route, see [turnserver2.conf](https://github.com/steveseguin/obsninja/blob/master/turnserver2.conf) for an example config. Next, we may want to update the User and Group values in our service file to be "root". This seems to be a quick hacky fix for the issue with Lets Encrypt. .. I welcome a better solution tho. If you move the certs somewhere else, or buy proper certificates, then the default turnserver user/group will work. ``` sudo vi /usr/lib/systemd/system/coturn.service sudo systemctl daemon-reload ``` Next, we are going to open up some ports... just in case they are blocked by default. Which exactly? well, these are default ports. TCP may not be needed? ``` sudo ufw allow 3478/tcp sudo ufw allow 3478/udp sudo ufw allow 443/tcp sudo ufw allow 443/udp sudo ufw allow 49152:65535/tcp sudo ufw allow 49152:65535/udp ``` Update turnserver.conf with passwords, domain names, and whatever else that needs changing. Example contents are provided below. Once you have updated it, start the TURN server and ensure it started correctly. ``` sudo vi /etc/turnserver.conf sudo systemctl restart coturn sudo systemctl status coturn sudo systemctl enable coturn ``` The following are the contents of an example /etc/turnserver.conf file from above ``` ## sudo vi /etc/turnserver.conf listening-port=3478 ## TLS needs an SSL certificate and domain, but enables TCP tls-listening-port=443 # min-port=49152 # max-port=65535 realm=turn.obs.ninja server-name=turn.obs.ninja ## webrtc likes to use this fingerprint ## Lets just use Google since its more reliable no-stun lt-cred-mech user=SOMESUERNAME:SOMEPASSWQORD stale-nonce=600 ## depreciated in newer coturn # no-loopback-peers ## prevents hackers from hacking no-multicast-peers ## 1-gbps/100 users = ~ 1-mbps each with this setting then total-quota=100 cert=/etc/letsencrypt/live/turn.obs.ninja/fullchain.pem pkey=/etc/letsencrypt/live/turn.obs.ninja/privkey.pem ## Tweaks to fix some lets encrypt errors cipher-list="ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA512:DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA512:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384" no-sslv3 no-tlsv1 no-tlsv1_1 # no-tlsv1_2 dh2066 # no-udp # no-tcp # verbose no-stdout-log ## optional proc-user=root proc-group=root ``` You can validate here: https://webrtc.github.io/samples/src/content/peerconnection/trickle-ice/ Setting this all up is easier said then done. good luck!
