☒ Here's how I created the coturn server. Using an Ubuntu 18.04LTS virtual machine.
Edit the environment file to set some environment variables. Be sure to change as necessary.
Run source to set the variables
Edit the coturn file
And change the value to 1
Generate an encrypted password. Be sure to use the same TURN_REALM name as set in the /etc/environment
Edit the turnserver configuration file
Add the user into the configuration file. The encrypted password would be something like 0x0000000
Restart coturn
Also, depending on where this is being hosted. You will need to open the UDP ports on your firewall based on the configuration set in /etc/environment. So, the password that you set will be encrypted on the server, but will need to be entered as plain text within the javascript stimulus controller.
apt-get update && apt-get install -y coturn && apt-get clean
Edit the environment file to set some environment variables. Be sure to change as necessary.
# vi /etc/environment TURN_PORT=3478 TURN_PORT_START=10000 TURN_PORT_END=20000 TURN_SECRET=yoursecretkey TURN_SERVER_NAME=turn TURN_REALM=YOURDOMAINNAME
Run source to set the variables
source /etc/environment
Edit the coturn file
sudo vi /etc/default/coturn
And change the value to 1
TURNSERVER_ENABLED=1
Generate an encrypted password. Be sure to use the same TURN_REALM name as set in the /etc/environment
turnadmin -k -u USERNAME -r YOURDOMAINNAME -p PASSWORD
Edit the turnserver configuration file
sudo vi /etc/turnserver.conf
Add the user into the configuration file. The encrypted password would be something like 0x0000000
user=USERNAME:PASSWORD
Restart coturn
sudo service coturn restart
