Some sloppy notes for you about how to enable audio/video calling for a prosody server in debian.

https://prosody.im/doc/turn https://gist.github.com/iNPUTmice/a28c438d9bbf3f4a3d4c663ffaa224d9

This is an extension of my other article

reliability of calls bad, basically not work

prosody stun/turn testing: https://prosody.im/doc/turn#testing-your-setup also prosodyctl check turn

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install coturn

vi /etc/turnserver.conf

i set realm=xmpp.someodd.zip uncommented use-auth-secret then set static-auth-secret to some gibberish set by keepassxc.

then sudo systemctl restart coturn

sudo ufw allow 3478,5349/tcp comment ‘Allow TURN server TCP ports’ sudo ufw allow 3478,5349/udp comment ‘Allow TURN server UDP ports’

dont’ forget forward ports router

prosody

sudo vi /etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua

i actually just uncommented turn_external in the modules_enabled section.

then i had to set turn_external_host to xmpp.someodd.zip and use the secret i set earlier in turn_external_secret.

then i think you can use sudo prosodyctl reload OR systemctl reload prosody

baudrillard@simulacra ~ % sudo prosodyctl check turn Identified 1 TURN services.

Testing TURN service xmpp.someodd.zip:3478… 1 warnings:

STUN returned a private IP! Is the TURN server behind a NAT and misconfigured?

Success!

All checks passed, congratulations!

sudo journalctl -u coturn

sudo prosodyctl check turn -v –ping=stun.conversations.im

further debugging

https://webrtc.github.io/samples/src/content/peerconnection/trickle-ice/ you have to edit /etc/turnserver.conf and sudo systemctl restart coturn and

Uncomment to use long-term credential mechanism.

By default no credentials mechanism is used (any user allowed).

# #lt-cred-mech #user=testuser:testpassword

i feel like i’m still having issues between clients. dino works best?
