Problems with the installation of coturn (STUN/TURN-SERVER)

[hartmut]

Hi there,

I am running TrueNAS-12.0-U3.1 with the nextcloud plugin
Version: 21.0.1, Plugin: nextcloud, Release: 12.1-RELEASE-p13
To get the App Talk running for several users I have to install coturn as TURN Server,
but there are problems with the installation of coturn.
Within the jails shell of nextcloud I run the following command:
# pkg install coturn
with the result "No packages available ..."
I downloaded coturn from https://freebsd.pkgs.org/12/freebsd-amd64/coturn-4.5.2_2.txz.html,
but there is no documentation within the archive *.txz like INSTALL, README or some
DOC folder.
So, how to go on and get the coturn server installed?
Thanks for your help!

You have an old post, but I found this reference for turnserver at FreeBSD.org's site: https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/net/turnserver. I'm also trying to get this installed.

Your jail runs an EOL FreeBSD release, that's why no packages exist in the official repositories, anymore. You need to upgrade your jail to FreeBSD 13.2 and a choice of two alternative packages will be available:

FreshPorts -- net/eturnal: Modern, straightforward STUN and TURN server

eturnal is a clean, scalable STUN and TURN server for Unix-like operating systems and Microsoft Windows. Clients can connect using UDP, TCP, or TLS over IPv4 or IPv6. For authentication, eturnal supports the mechanism described in the REST API for Access to TURN Services specification (in...

www.freshports.org

FreshPorts -- net/turnserver: STUN/TURN Server; IPv6, DTLS support; RFCs 5389, 5766, 6062, 6156

This a BSD-licensed version of the Coturn TURN Server implementation, with IPv6 and DTLS extensions.

Thanks so much Patrick for your response. I spent several hours yesterday looking for coTurn. I will check out what you listed. Have a great day!

I performed the following to success:
- Updated ports with 'sudo portsnap fetch update', then extracted it.
- Pkg update with 'sudo pkg update'

Unsuccessful:
I installed the port using the Makefile in /usr/ports/net/eturnal and received this blue screen (BSOD,lol?). I'm not sure this is normal. The shell was unresponsive afterwards.

I opened another shell within the jail and ran 'pkg install eturnal' and received the response: 'pkg: No packages available to install matching 'eturnal' have been found in the repositories.

Thanks again Patrick!

You must upgrade your jail to a supported FreeBSD release, first, before you can even consider using packages or ports.

The only supported release running on TN CORE today is 13.2. Upgrades of jails are performed with iocage upgrade on the NAS host system. You also must run TN CORE 13.0 to use 13.2 jails. TN CORE 12 is also EOL and has been for quite some time.

Upgrading an existing jail might well break already installed applications, so better take snapshots or deploy a completely new jail right away.

Thanks Patrick. I'm running TN Core 13.0-STABLE, jail version of my Nextcloud is 13.2-RELEASE. Based on what you've said, I should be able to install supported packages? If so, eturnal isn't showing up as available. Is there a package list summary somewhere I can reference?

Thank you again!

---------------------------------------

Ok, I'm guessing turnserver-4.6.2 might be what I'm looking for? BTW, Patrick, what ssh server do you recommend I install to my jails? I've looked and can't find open-ssh.

Thank you kind sir.

Edit: Sorry about the format. I need to learn how to respond to line-by-lines. It looks like my responses are all merged into yours.

SSH is builtin and it is OpenSSH.

Code:

sysrc sshd_enable=YES
service sshd start

I appreciate your helping novices like myself. It's work, I know, and I appreciate you. Have a great day.

what ssh server do you recommend I install to my jails?

Although you can, you don't need to run a ssh server in the jail; you can just ssh into the host and then iocage console into the jail. I've never seen a need to run a ssh server in any of my jails, but of course YMMV.

I on the other hand activate SSH plus ahavi in each jail. So I can ssh jailname.local right from my Mac and have a root shell in the jail.

Whatever suits you.
