# eturnal TURN server
|
||
|
||
The following sections describe how to install [eturnal](<https://github.com/processone/eturnal>)
|
||
(which implements the TURN REST API).
|
||
|
||
## `eturnal` setup
|
||
|
||
### Initial installation
|
||
|
||
The `eturnal` TURN server implementation is available from a variety of sources
|
||
such as native package managers, binary packages, installation from source or
|
||
[container image](https://eturnal.net/documentation/code/docker.html). They are
|
||
all described [here](https://github.com/processone/eturnal#installation).
|
||
|
||
Quick-Test instructions in a [Linux Shell](https://github.com/processone/eturnal/blob/master/QUICK-TEST.md)
|
||
or with [Docker](https://github.com/processone/eturnal/blob/master/docker-k8s/QUICK-TEST.md)
|
||
are available as well.
|
||
|
||
### Configuration
|
||
|
||
After installation, `eturnal` usually ships a [default configuration file](https://github.com/processone/eturnal/blob/master/config/eturnal.yml)
|
||
here: `/etc/eturnal.yml` (and, if not found there, there is a backup file here:
|
||
`/opt/eturnal/etc/eturnal.yml`). It uses the (indentation-sensitive!) [YAML](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YAML)
|
||
format. The file contains further explanations.
|
||
|
||
Here are some hints how to configure eturnal on your [host machine](https://github.com/processone/eturnal#configuration)
|
||
or when using e.g. [Docker](https://eturnal.net/documentation/code/docker.html).
|
||
You may also further deep dive into the [reference documentation](https://eturnal.net/documentation/).
|
||
|
||
`eturnal` runs out of the box with the default configuration. To enable TURN and
|
||
to integrate it with your homeserver, some aspects in `eturnal`'s default configuration file
|
||
must be edited:
|
||
|
||
1. Homeserver's [`turn_shared_secret`](../../usage/configuration/config_documentation.md#turn_shared_secret)
|
||
and eturnal's shared `secret` for authentication
|
||
|
||
Both need to have the same value. Uncomment and adjust this line in `eturnal`'s
|
||
configuration file:
|
||
|
||
```yaml
|
||
secret: "long-and-cryptic" # Shared secret, CHANGE THIS.
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
One way to generate a `secret` is with `pwgen`:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
pwgen -s 64 1
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
1. Public IP address
|
||
|
||
If your TURN server is behind NAT, the NAT gateway must have an external,
|
||
publicly-reachable IP address. `eturnal` tries to autodetect the public IP address,
|
||
however, it may also be configured by uncommenting and adjusting this line, so
|
||
`eturnal` advertises that address to connecting clients:
|
||
|
||
```yaml
|
||
relay_ipv4_addr: "203.0.113.4" # The server's public IPv4 address.
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
If your NAT gateway is reachable over both IPv4 and IPv6, you may
|
||
configure `eturnal` to advertise each available address:
|
||
|
||
```yaml
|
||
relay_ipv4_addr: "203.0.113.4" # The server's public IPv4 address.
|
||
relay_ipv6_addr: "2001:db8::4" # The server's public IPv6 address (optional).
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
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. Logging
|
||
|
||
If `eturnal` was started by systemd, log files are written into the
|
||
`/var/log/eturnal` directory by default. In order to log to the [journal](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-journald.service.html)
|
||
instead, the `log_dir` option can be set to `stdout` in the configuration file.
|
||
|
||
1. Security considerations
|
||
|
||
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, [see also the official documentation](https://eturnal.net/documentation/#blacklist):
|
||
|
||
```yaml
|
||
## Reject TURN relaying from/to the following addresses/networks:
|
||
blacklist: # This is the default blacklist.
|
||
- "127.0.0.0/8" # IPv4 loopback.
|
||
- "::1" # IPv6 loopback.
|
||
- recommended # Expands to a number of networks recommended to be
|
||
# blocked, but includes private networks. Those
|
||
# would have to be 'whitelist'ed if eturnal serves
|
||
# local clients/peers within such networks.
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
To whitelist IP addresses or specific (private) networks, you need to **add** a
|
||
whitelist part into the configuration file, e.g.:
|
||
|
||
```yaml
|
||
whitelist:
|
||
- "192.168.0.0/16"
|
||
- "203.0.113.113"
|
||
- "2001:db8::/64"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The more specific, the better.
|
||
|
||
1. TURNS (TURN via TLS/DTLS)
|
||
|
||
Also consider supporting TLS/DTLS. To do this, adjust the following settings
|
||
in the `eturnal.yml` configuration file (TLS parts should not be commented anymore):
|
||
|
||
```yaml
|
||
listen:
|
||
- ip: "::"
|
||
port: 3478
|
||
transport: udp
|
||
- ip: "::"
|
||
port: 3478
|
||
transport: tcp
|
||
- ip: "::"
|
||
port: 5349
|
||
transport: tls
|
||
|
||
## TLS certificate/key files (must be readable by 'eturnal' user!):
|
||
tls_crt_file: /etc/eturnal/tls/crt.pem
|
||
tls_key_file: /etc/eturnal/tls/key.pem
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
In this case, replace the `turn:` schemes in homeserver's `turn_uris` settings
|
||
with `turns:`. More is described [here](../../usage/configuration/config_documentation.md#turn_uris).
|
||
|
||
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. Firewall
|
||
|
||
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. Reload/ restarting `eturnal`
|
||
|
||
Changes in the configuration file require `eturnal` to reload/ restart, this
|
||
can be achieved by:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
eturnalctl reload
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
`eturnal` performs a configuration check before actually reloading/ restarting
|
||
and provides hints, if something is not correctly configured.
|
||
|
||
### eturnalctl opterations script
|
||
|
||
`eturnal` offers a handy [operations script](https://eturnal.net/documentation/#Operation)
|
||
which can be called e.g. to check, whether the service is up, to restart the service,
|
||
to query how many active sessions exist, to change logging behaviour and so on.
|
||
|
||
Hint: If `eturnalctl` is not part of your `$PATH`, consider either sym-linking it (e.g. ´ln -s /opt/eturnal/bin/eturnalctl /usr/local/bin/eturnalctl´) or call it from the default `eturnal` directory directly: e.g. `/opt/eturnal/bin/eturnalctl info`
