|
||||
|
||||
The following sections describe how to install [coturn](<https://github.com/coturn/coturn>) (which implements the TURN REST API) and integrate it with synapse.
|
||||
This documentation provides two TURN server configuration examples:
|
||||
|
||||
* [coturn](setup/turn/coturn.md)
|
||||
* [eturnal](setup/turn/eturnal.md)
|
||||
|
||||
## Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
For TURN relaying with `coturn` to work, it must be hosted on a server/endpoint with a public IP.
|
||||
For TURN relaying to work, the TURN service must be hosted on a server/endpoint with a public IP.
|
||||
|
||||
Hosting TURN behind NAT requires port forwaring and for the NAT gateway to have a public IP.
|
||||
However, even with appropriate configuration, NAT is known to cause issues and to often not work.
|
||||
|
||||
## `coturn` setup
|
||||
|
||||
### Initial installation
|
||||
|
||||
The TURN daemon `coturn` is available from a variety of sources such as native package managers, or installation from source.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Debian installation
|
||||
|
||||
Just install the debian package:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
apt install coturn
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will install and start a systemd service called `coturn`.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Source installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. Download the [latest release](https://github.com/coturn/coturn/releases/latest) from github. Unpack it and `cd` into the directory.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Configure it:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
./configure
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You may need to install `libevent2`: if so, you should do so in
|
||||
the way recommended by your operating system. You can ignore
|
||||
warnings about lack of database support: a database is unnecessary
|
||||
for this purpose.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Build and install it:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
make
|
||||
make install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create or edit the config file in `/etc/turnserver.conf`. The relevant
|
||||
lines, with example values, are:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
use-auth-secret
|
||||
static-auth-secret=[your secret key here]
|
||||
realm=turn.myserver.org
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
See `turnserver.conf` for explanations of the options. One way to generate
|
||||
the `static-auth-secret` is with `pwgen`:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
pwgen -s 64 1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
A `realm` must be specified, but its value is somewhat arbitrary. (It is
|
||||
sent to clients as part of the authentication flow.) It is conventional to
|
||||
set it to be your server name.
|
||||
|
||||
1. You will most likely want to configure coturn to write logs somewhere. The
|
||||
easiest way is normally to send them to the syslog:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
syslog
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
(in which case, the logs will be available via `journalctl -u coturn` on a
|
||||
systemd system). Alternatively, coturn can be configured to write to a
|
||||
logfile - check the example config file supplied with coturn.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Consider your security settings. TURN lets users request a relay which will
|
||||
connect to arbitrary IP addresses and ports. The following configuration is
|
||||
suggested as a minimum starting point:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
# VoIP traffic is all UDP. There is no reason to let users connect to arbitrary TCP endpoints via the relay.
|
||||
no-tcp-relay
|
||||
|
||||
# don't let the relay ever try to connect to private IP address ranges within your network (if any)
|
||||
# given the turn server is likely behind your firewall, remember to include any privileged public IPs too.
|
||||
denied-peer-ip=10.0.0.0-10.255.255.255
|
||||
denied-peer-ip=192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255
|
||||
denied-peer-ip=172.16.0.0-172.31.255.255
|
||||

||||

|
||||

|
||||

||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
# special case the turn server itself so that client->TURN->TURN->client flows work
|
||||
# this should be one of the turn server's listening IPs
|
||||
allowed-peer-ip=10.0.0.1
|
||||
|
||||
# consider whether you want to limit the quota of relayed streams per user (or total) to avoid risk of DoS.
|
||||
user-quota=12 # 4 streams per video call, so 12 streams = 3 simultaneous relayed calls per user.
|
||||
total-quota=1200
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
1. Also consider supporting TLS/DTLS. To do this, add the following settings
|
||||
to `turnserver.conf`:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
# TLS certificates, including intermediate certs.
|
||||
# For Let's Encrypt certificates, use `fullchain.pem` here.
|
||||
cert=/path/to/fullchain.pem
|
||||
|
||||
# TLS private key file
|
||||
pkey=/path/to/privkey.pem
|
||||
|
||||
# Ensure the configuration lines that disable TLS/DTLS are commented-out or removed
|
||||
#no-tls
|
||||
#no-dtls
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In this case, replace the `turn:` schemes in the `turn_uris` settings below
|
||||
with `turns:`.
|
||||
|
||||
We recommend that you only try to set up TLS/DTLS once you have set up a
|
||||
basic installation and got it working.
|
||||
|
||||
NB: If your TLS certificate was provided by Let's Encrypt, TLS/DTLS will
|
||||
not work with any Matrix client that uses Chromium's WebRTC library. This
|
||||
currently includes Element Android & iOS; for more details, see their
|
||||
[respective](https://github.com/vector-im/element-android/issues/1533)
|
||||
[issues](https://github.com/vector-im/element-ios/issues/2712) as well as the underlying
|
||||
[WebRTC issue](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/webrtc/issues/detail?id=11710).
|
||||
Consider using a ZeroSSL certificate for your TURN server as a working alternative.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure your firewall allows traffic into the TURN server on the ports
|
||||
you've configured it to listen on (By default: 3478 and 5349 for TURN
|
||||
traffic (remember to allow both TCP and UDP traffic), and ports 49152-65535
|
||||
for the UDP relay.)
|
||||
|
||||
1. If your TURN server is behind NAT, the NAT gateway must have an external,
|
||||
publicly-reachable IP address. You must configure coturn to advertise that
|
||||
address to connecting clients:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
external-ip=EXTERNAL_NAT_IPv4_ADDRESS
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You may optionally limit the TURN server to listen only on the local
|
||||
address that is mapped by NAT to the external address:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
listening-ip=INTERNAL_TURNSERVER_IPv4_ADDRESS
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If your NAT gateway is reachable over both IPv4 and IPv6, you may
|
||||
configure coturn to advertise each available address:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
external-ip=EXTERNAL_NAT_IPv4_ADDRESS
|
||||
external-ip=EXTERNAL_NAT_IPv6_ADDRESS
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
When advertising an external IPv6 address, ensure that the firewall and
|
||||
network settings of the system running your TURN server are configured to
|
||||
accept IPv6 traffic, and that the TURN server is listening on the local
|
||||
IPv6 address that is mapped by NAT to the external IPv6 address.
|
||||
|
||||
1. (Re)start the turn server:
|
||||
|
||||
* If you used the Debian package (or have set up a systemd unit yourself):
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
systemctl restart coturn
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
* If you installed from source:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
bin/turnserver -o
|
||||
```
|
||||
Afterwards, the homeserver needs some further configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
## Synapse setup
|
||||
|
||||
Your homeserver configuration file needs the following extra keys:
|
||||
|
||||
1. "`turn_uris`": This needs to be a yaml list of public-facing URIs
|
||||
for your TURN server to be given out to your clients. Add separate
|
||||
entries for each transport your TURN server supports.
|
||||
2. "`turn_shared_secret`": This is the secret shared between your
|
||||
homeserver and your TURN server, so you should set it to the same
|
||||
string you used in turnserver.conf.
|
||||
3. "`turn_user_lifetime`": This is the amount of time credentials
|
||||
generated by your homeserver are valid for (in milliseconds).
|
||||
Shorter times offer less potential for abuse at the expense of
|
||||
increased traffic between web clients and your homeserver to
|
||||
refresh credentials. The TURN REST API specification recommends
|
||||
one day (86400000).
|
||||
4. "`turn_allow_guests`": Whether to allow guest users to use the
|
||||
TURN server. This is enabled by default, as otherwise VoIP will
|
||||
not work reliably for guests. However, it does introduce a
|
||||
security risk as it lets guests connect to arbitrary endpoints
|
||||
without having gone through a CAPTCHA or similar to register a
|
||||
real account.
|
||||
1. [`turn_uris`](usage/configuration/config_documentation.md#turn_uris)
|
||||
2. [`turn_shared_secret`](usage/configuration/config_documentation.md#turn_shared_secret)
|
||||
3. [`turn_user_lifetime`](usage/configuration/config_documentation.md#turn_user_lifetime)
|
||||
4. [`turn_allow_guests`](usage/configuration/config_documentation.md#turn_allow_guests)
|
||||
|
||||
As an example, here is the relevant section of the config file for `matrix.org`. The
|
||||
`turn_uris` are appropriate for TURN servers listening on the default ports, with no TLS.
