Question

Actually i wants to use my own stun/Turn server instance and i want to use Amazon EC2 .If anybody has any idea regarding this please share with me the steps to create or any

Answer 1

do an ssh login to your ec2 instance, then run the below commands for installing and starting the turn server.

simple way:

sudo apt-get install coturn

If you say no, I want the latest cutting edge, you can download source code from their downloads page in install it yourself, example:

sudo -i     # ignore if you already in admin mode
apt-get update && apt-get install libssl-dev libevent-dev libhiredis-dev make -y    # install the dependencies
wget -O turn.tar.gz http://turnserver.open-sys.org/downloads/v4.5.0.3/turnserver-4.5.0.3.tar.gz     # Download the source tar
tar -zxvf turn.tar.gz     # unzip
cd turnserver-*
./configure
make && make install 

sample command for running TURN server:

turnserver -a -o -v -n -u user:root -p 3478 -L INT_IP -r someRealm -X EXT_IP/INT_IP  --no-dtls --no-tls

command description:

• -X - your amazon instance's external IP, internal IP: EXT_IP/INT_IP
• -p - port to be used, default 3478
• -a - Use long-term credentials mechanism
• -o - Run server process as daemon
• -v - 'Moderate' verbose mode.
• -n - no configuration file
• --no-dtls - Do not start DTLS listeners
• --no-tls - Do not start TLS listeners
• -u - user credentials to be used
• -r - default realm to be used, need for TURN REST API

in your WebRTC app, you can use trun server like:

{
    url: 'turn:user@EXT_IP:3478',
    credential: 'root'
}
