STUN and TURN Configuration

If your clients are behind firewalls you might need to setup a TURN Server so the connection can fallback to that (Connection is e2e encrypted in any case).

If you have your STUN/TURN Server, isert the urls into: /iceservers.json

Setup your own TURN Server with docker

This setup is using COTURN inside docker. The server is listening on Ports 443 and 4433 because on many firewalls only webtraffic is allowed. So you need to set this up on a second server.

If your server ip is 10.10.10.10 and your want to name it "myturnserver" run it like this:

Run docker run -d --net=host --restart=always rofl256/turnserver usernameAdmin passwordAdmin realm "10.10.10.10" "10.10.10.10" "10.10.10.10" authSecret

Don't forget to change the admin username, password and authSecret.

For more configurations of this take a look at repo of the container (https://github.com/cracker0dks/turn-server-docker-image) and the COTURN repo itself: https://github.com/coturn/coturn

If you have the turn server running, make a new entry into /iceservers.json

[
    {
        "url": "stun:10.10.10.10:443"
    },
    {
        "url": "turn:10.10.10.10:443",
        "turnServerCredential": "authSecret",
        "username": "webrtcuser"
    }
]

Change the ips and authSecret as defined on docker run. The username can be set to anything you want or leave it like this then restart the basicwebrtc server.
