Kevin Veen-Birkenbach dbbb3510f3 Refactor TURN/STUN config:
- Removed ?transport=udp from Nextcloud Talk TURN server definitions
- Dropped --no-tcp-relay to allow TCP fallback
- Removed invalid UDP mapping on TLS port
- Introduced switch between REST secret auth and lt-cred-mech via COTURN_USER_AUTH_ENABLED
- Added user_auth_enabled flag in coturn config for flexibility

Coturn

This folder contains the role to deploy and manage a Coturn service.

Description

Coturn is a free and open-source TURN (Traversal Using Relays around NAT) and STUN (Session Traversal Utilities for NAT) server.
It enables real-time communication (RTC) applications such as WebRTC to work reliably across NATs and firewalls.

Without TURN/STUN, video calls, conferencing, and peer-to-peer connections often fail due to NAT traversal issues.
Coturn solves this by acting as a relay server and/or discovery service for public IP addresses.

Overview

This role deploys Coturn via Docker Compose using the sys-stk-semi-stateless stack.
It automatically configures:

  • TURN and STUN listening ports
  • Relay port ranges
  • TLS certificates (via Lets Encrypt integration)
  • Long-term credentials and/or REST API secrets

Typical use cases:

  • Nextcloud Talk
  • Jitsi
  • BigBlueButton
  • Any WebRTC-based application

Features

  • Stateless container deployment (no database or persistent volume required)
  • Automatic TLS handling via sys-stk-front-base
  • TURN and STUN support over TCP and UDP
  • Configurable relay port ranges for scaling
  • Integration into Infinito.Nexus inventory/variable system
