#coturn — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #coturn, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Well today I found out that coturn does NOT use /etc/coturn/coturn.conf but actually /etc/turnserver.conf 😅

    I poured hours and hours in getting stuff to work and it turns out that I was editing the wrong file for this service the whole time... (the nextcloud interface only checks if the server is running and not whether the credentials you give it actually work)

    In other news nextcloud talk is finally working XD
    (though I get the same errors from the signaling backend as before)

    #sysadmin #coturn #turnServer #nextcloud #nextcloutTalk

  2. Two weeks ago we published our analysis of TURN security threats. Today: how to fix them.

    New guides covering implementation-agnostic best practices (IP range blocking, protocol hardening, rate limiting, deployment patterns) and coturn-specific configuration with copy-paste templates at three security levels.

    Best practices: enablesecurity.com/blog/turn-s
    coturn guide: enablesecurity.com/blog/coturn
    Config templates on GitHub: github.com/EnableSecurity/cotu

    coturn 4.9.0 dropped yesterday with fixes for CVE-2026-27624 (IPv4-mapped IPv6 bypass of deny rules) and an inverted web admin password check that had been broken since ~2019. The guides cover workarounds for older versions.

  3. Few days ago I successfully configured #coturn to have a TURN/STUN server for in-family calls. But … looks like bots or some bad guys constantly trying to connect to my TURN server to use it for something :-(

    Of course, it is impossible, since anonymous access or any other access without right key is impossible. But, there are no IPs of attackers in the log file, even wth "Verbose" directive — only my local and public IPs and my server's hostname :drgn_cry:

    Maybe, there is some way to force coturn to display IP addresses of connected clients, so I could ban them all with fail2ban?

  4. Just tested my Prosody server against the compliance checker at compliance.conversations.im My Prosody server got itself a 100% compliance rating, with in-band registration being disabled as it's more of a personal server than a public one, even with that public conference. If you want to see the results for yourself, check out compliance.conversations.im/se I will also point out that both Prosody and CoTurn (which provides media relay services for Prosody) are configured to be dual-stack, meaning everything works both on IPv4 and IPv6. Even got all 8 SRV records configured in DNS so CoTurn's STUN and TURN implementations will hopefully work flawlessly, both via TCP & UDP (and the TLS-based option is included). #Prosody #CoTurn #XMPP #StandardsCompliance #OwnYourData #SelfHosting

  5. So, der prosody #xmpp server läuft mit #coturn für Voice und Video, allen Features passen und wir haben 100% Compliance. Yay.

    Mal sehen, was es jetzt wieder für einen Kampf wird, vom Test- auf den Prodserver umzuziehen.

    Das letzte Zahnrad für die digitale Unabhängigkeit … #selfhosting

  6. Got #prosody running and also established #coturn for stun/turn on the test server. It looks pretty good and is very lightweight, and #conversations looks like a decent client. happy so far...

    But compared to #matrix, the huge amount of features and XEPs is a different story.

  7. @mptcp

    Question de noob:

    Le multipath TCP ca a un interet pour les transitions entre connexions 5g/wifi les apps voip? Genre une app android #conversations qui communique en vers un service relai #coturn ?

    Je crois que la voip utilise UDP en general.

  8. The #Ansible role for #BigBlueButton is now able to install and configure BBB 3.0.x with embedded #coturn, even on cloud VMs behind a NAT router or firewall.

  9. i have been meaning to open source this for awhile and why not today.

    https://codeberg.org/CobyPear/up-down

    i wrote a little bit about the coturn portion of things
    here but i never got back to this so i figured it is time to share it.

    i used it to successfully collaborate with a friend across the country and we sent each other .wav files back and forth and pasted them together into an album.

    we did test the live jam room and it worked (even via mobile), however i was never able to do a live jam session over it due to schedule constraints but lmk if you make that happen.

    if you have questions ask them here or open an issue. no promises :)

    tbh not sure it would still work today out of the box, but it should! it uses old versions of things of course.

  10. ✅ Erster PoC mit eigenem #TURN-Server für Video-Calls mit #Nextcloud Talk. #eturnal läuft in #podman und scheint mir deutlich leichtgewichtiger zu sein als #coturn.
  11. WebRTC debugging.

    I spent hours debugging and now need to share the solution with the world.

    Tried to establish a -based connection (using and y-webrtc) in a LAN behind NAT, but ICE failed. Neither STUN nor TURN seemed to help, nor did a local or local signaling server.

    The solution was to force TURN through TCP, i.e. using something like this as TURN id:

    turn:ADDR:PORT?transport=tcp

    Kudos for the final hint and other debugging pointers:

  12. Can any anyone suggest some tools for diagnosing poorly functioning Matrix audio/video calls?

    Right now I don't even know whether I should be filing bugs on Matrix or Element or Yunohost or Coturn or Synapse, and I'm really hoping to give some more useful info than "Calls often don't connect and even when they do they're often missing either video or audio." 🤔

    Thanks!

  13. @antsu

    Not at all... *THANK YOU* for your unsolicited advice! Why yes, my setup *does* use coturn, and I happen to know it does *not* resolve #IPV6, however I figured that wasn't important if the domains and server were all configured using IPV4. My knowledge here is very limited, so... is that likely an issue?

    I'm *very* heartened there may be a known way out of this mess! Now to look up how complicated the fixes are for my @yunohost setup...

  14. Irgendjemand eine Idee, wie man realisieren kann, dass User im lokalen Netzwerk über coturn mit Usern außerhalb des lokalen Netzwerks miteinander callen können? Wenn beide im lokalen Netz sind, gehts. Wenn beide außerhalb sind auch. Nur die Kombination geht nicht. Habe keine Idee, wie ich die Route bauen kann oder eine Firewallregel hinzufügen muss, dass das geht. #coturn

  15. I want to make audio/video with my #XMPP #Prosody server. I found this piece of documentation about #Coturn : prosody.im/doc/coturn

    But I also read : prosody.im/doc/turn which says "It is not recommended to host a TURN service behind a NAT, on a LAN or any other private network.".

    However I'm a bit lost. From what I understand I should rent a VPS to host my turn/stun server. Will the cost depend on how much it is used ? Does someone know how it works ? Never did that before.

    Thanks !

  16. So, habe jetzt #bigbluebutton 2.7.2 neben anderen System hintern #nginx (und #haproxy) auf Basis von #lxc mit #coturn am laufen. :awesome:

  17. @MickInTx

    I used @yunohost to install #Synapse and #ElementWeb for #Matrix, which by default install #Coturn, but it's been pretty shaky for video calls.

    Issues are mainly with one person calling from #Element on a slightly older #iPhone. About 2/3 of the time, the call doesn't ring on one side, or connects without sound, or doesn't connect at all.

    Any idea what community would make sense to troubleshoot this with? #Yunohost? Synapse? #Element? Coturn? Hard to know where to even start... 🤔

  18. Run your own Turn Server using and , software. can give your app a rock solid real-time connection. Runs on , of course! youtu.be/eZ9Jrxy6NVM

  19. Voilà un bon moment que je songeais à me refaire une petite collection de disques vinyle 💿, en utilisant une platine portative sans fil, type #SoundBurger ou #SonyFlamingo.
    En cherchant si ce type de lecteur existait, j'étais tombé sur un projet #KickStarter très intéressant : le #Coturn CT-01 (livré début 2023)
    300€ pour un projet largement financé, avec les risques toujours qu'un projet n'aboutisse pas, ou dans 10 ans, j'ai préféré attendre... #Turnable #Vinyl

  20. Habe mal wieder meinen kleinen Coturn angeworfen bevor die Saison beginnt.

  21. Moin liebe #Serveradmins ich bräuchte für einen #UptimeKuma + #CoTurn Server eine neue VPS, hatte für das letzte Jahr ne VPS von #IONOS mit 2vCore + 4 GB für 1€ 12 Monate, habt ihr Empfehlungen für neuen Anbieter, würde auch auf 2vCore´s mit 2GB Ram runtergehen aber halt ungerne 10€ bezahlen wie jetzt für die IONOS Maschine.

    Nehme gerne Empfehlungen entgegen, wenns geht möglichst lange Vertragslaufzeit.
