[Xubuntu22.04] Try coTurn for WebRTC 1

Intro

I will try TURN server with WebRTC in this time.

The main purpose of this project is to install and run the TURN server.
Next time, I will look at the detailed setup, etc. the next i

Installation

Build from source code(Failed)

Because there are no coTurn packages in PPA repositories, I tried building from the source code first.

But when I tried executing "make", I would gotten an error.

I tried http://turnserver.open-sys.org/ and cloning the GitHub repository, but I got the same results.

Add unofficial PPA repositories

After that, I decided to add PPA repositories.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntuhandbook1/coturn
sudo apt update
sudo apt install coturn

Finally, I installed coTurn ver.4.5.2-1.

Edit configurations and start coTurn

To start coTurn, I uncomment "/etc/default/coturn" and execute "sudo systemctl start coturn".

coturn

#
# Uncomment it if you want to have the turnserver running as 
# an automatic system service daemon
#
TURNSERVER_ENABLED=1
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

After that, I edit "/etc/turnserver.conf".
Because I don't have any domains, so I use IP address instead of them this time,

turnserver.conf

...
# TURN listener port for UDP and TCP (Default: 3478).
# Note: actually, TLS & DTLS sessions can connect to the
# "plain" TCP & UDP port(s), too - if allowed by configuration.
#
listening-port=3478
...
# Uncomment to run TURN server in 'extra' verbose mode.
# This mode is very annoying and produces lots of output.
# Not recommended under normal circumstances.
#
Verbose

# Uncomment to use fingerprints in the TURN messages.
# By default the fingerprints are off.
#
fingerprint

# Uncomment to use long-term credential mechanism.
# By default no credentials mechanism is used (any user allowed).
#
lt-cred-mech
...
# 'Static' user accounts for the long term credentials mechanism, only.
# This option cannot be used with TURN REST API.
# 'Static' user accounts are NOT dynamically checked by the turnserver process,
# so they can NOT be changed while the turnserver is running.
#
#user=username1:key1
#user=username2:key2
# OR:
user=username1:password1
...
# The default realm to be used for the users when no explicit
# origin/realm relationship is found in the database, or if the TURN
# server is not using any database (just the commands-line settings
# and the userdb file). Must be used with long-term credentials
# mechanism or with TURN REST API.
#
# Note: If the default realm is not specified, then realm falls back to the host domain name.
#       If the domain name string is empty, or set to '(None)', then it is initialized as an empty string.
#
realm=192.168.XX.YYY
...
# Certificate file.
# Use an absolute path or path relative to the
# configuration file.
# Use PEM file format.
#
cert=/home/example/local_cert.pem

# Private key file.
# Use an absolute path or path relative to the
# configuration file.
# Use PEM file format.
#
pkey=/home/example/local_key.pem
...
# Option to set the log file name.
# By default, the turnserver tries to open a log file in
# /var/log, /var/tmp, /tmp and the current directory
# (Whichever file open operation succeeds first will be used).
# With this option you can set the definite log file name.
# The special names are "stdout" and "-" - they will force everything
# to the stdout. Also, the "syslog" name will force everything to
# the system log (syslog).
# In the runtime, the logfile can be reset with the SIGHUP signal
# to the turnserver process.
#
log-file=/var/tmp/turn.log
...
# Option to suppress STUN functionality, only TURN requests will be processed.
# Run as TURN server only, all STUN requests will be ignored.
# By default, this option is NOT set.
#
no-stun
...

Try

All the clients used in this case are connected to the same network, so they don't normally pass through the TURN server.
Thus, I add "iceTransportPolicy" to force passing through it.

webrtc.controller.ts

...
    public connect() {
        if (this.webcamStream == null) {
            console.error("Local video was null");
            return;
        }
        this.peerConnection = new RTCPeerConnection({
            iceServers: [{
                urls: "turn:192.168.XX.YYY:3478",
                username: "username1",
                credential: "password1",
            }],
            // Force using STUN or TURN servers. 
            iceTransportPolicy: "relay"
        });
...
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
