How to Install coturn 4.6.2 with TLSv1.3 support on Debian 12

 TLSv1.3 support is added in coturn >4.6.2  . Debian 12 bookworm comes with coturn 4.6.1 which does support TLSv1.3. Docker version of coturn may be used to get the last version of coturn then, or a compilation from source is needed.  

In case of compiling from source, openssl 1.1.1 is needed to support TLSv1.3.

To compile the last version of coturn on Debian, follow these instructions:

apt-get install pkg-config build-essential libssl-dev libevent-dev libsystemd-dev -y

cd /usr/src

wget https://github.com/coturn/coturn/archive/refs/tags/4.6.2.tar.gz

tar -zxvf 4.6.2.tar.gz

cd coturn-4.6.2

./configure --prefix=/usr --confdir=/etc

make

make install

cp ./examples/etc/coturn.service /etc/systemd/system/

mv /etc/turnserver.conf.default /etc/turnserver.conf

systemctl daemon-reload

chown turnserver:turnserver /var/run/turnserver.pid

useradd turnserver -s /bin/false

systemctl enable coturn --now

service coturn status

Now, in the log file you should see:

INFO: TLS 1.3 supported

Jitsi provides a sample turnserver.conf file to use for media streaming and TURNS. The syntax file can be found here

The following configuration can be added to the /etc/turnserver.conf file to disable older versions of SSL/TLS incuding tlsv1.2 to enfore tlsv1.3 connections:

no-sslv3

no-tlsv1

no-tlsv1_1

no-tlsv1_2

A static user and password for turn can be defined using the following config:

lt-cred-mech

user=TURNUSER:TURNPASSWORD
