A TURN server written in Go that is designed to be scalable, extendable and embeddable out of the box. For simple use cases it only requires downloading 1 static binary, and setting 3 options.
See DESIGN.md for the the features it offers, and future goals.
If you want just a simple TURN server with a few static usernames simple-turn will perfectly suit your purposes. If you have
custom requirements such as a database proceed to extending.
simple-turn is a single static binary, and all config is driven by environment variables. On a fresh Linux AWS instance these are all the steps you would need.
$ wget -q https://github.com/pion/turn/releases/download/1.0.3/simple-turn-linux-amd64
$ chmod +x simple-turn-linux-amd64
$ export USERS='user=password foo=bar'
$ export REALM=my-server.com
$ export UDP_PORT=3478
$ ./simple-turn-linux-amd64
To explain what every step does
- Download simple-turn for Linux x64, see release for other platforms
- Make it executable
- Configure auth, in the form of
USERNAME=PASSWORD USERNAME=PASSWORDwith no limits - Set your realm, this is the public URL or name of your server
- Set the port you listen on, 3478 is the default port for TURN
That is it! Then to use your new TURN server your WebRTC config would look like
{ iceServers: [{
urls: "turn:YOUR_SERVER"
username: "user",
credential: "password"
}]
If you are using Windows you would set these values in Powershell by doing. Also make sure your firewall is configured properly.
> $env:USERS = "user=password foo=bar"
> $env:REALM = "my-server.com"
> $env:UDP_PORT = 3478
See simple-turn
pion-turn can be configured by implementing these callbacks and by passing these arguments
All that simple-turn does is take environment variables, and then uses the same API.
For developing a Dockerfile is available with features like hot-reloads, and is meant to be volume mounted. Make sure you also have github.com/pion/pkg in your path, or you can exclude the second volume mount.
This is only meant for development, see demo-conference to see TURN usage as a user.
docker build -t turn .
docker run -v $(pwd):/usr/local/src/github.com/pion/turn -v $(pwd)/../pkg:/usr/local/src/github.com/pion/pkg turn
Currently only Linux is supported until Docker supports full (host <-> container) networking on Windows/OSX
