bbb-install-2.6.sh now installs TURN server as default

[Fred Dixon]

Hi Everyone

Thanks to schrd for the pull request 

  https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bbb-install/pull/579

and BrentBaccala for helping to test, along with others in the community, the install of a TURN server is now default in the bbb-install-2.6.sh script.

This should make it easier for users behind a restricted firewall to connect to a BigBlueButton 2.6-beta server setup with this script.

If you have setup 2.6-alpha/beta and want to have a TURN server running with your BigBlueButton 2.6 server, simply re-run the bbb-install-2.6.sh script again with your original parameters.

Regards,... Fred

Hi ,

If the TURN server itself is behind a firewall (following) the default documentation does

makes it work. I had to specifically put the TURN in a linode server with a public ip assigned

right on the vps to make it work.

my 2cents of observation.

Hi,

For those who already have a separate coturn server, will there be an
option to NOT add haproxy in the chain, and use an external coturn
instance dedicated to TURN? Like we used to?

I understand fully the goal here, and it's nice to be able to spare an
IP address when using IPv4, but it's also kind of hackish, and adds
another layer where it's better not to have too many, due to the
complexity of having all those parts stacked up. And it has impacts on
the configuration of most of the components there.

So modifying that harshly the setup from the install script will be hard
on those following the docs, and make the install.sh script rather
unusable for those that do not wish to add a proxy over the proxy…

Or maybe we can slim down and get rid of nginx, but I'm not sure haproxy
does all what we use nginx for…

Regards,

Gilles

Agreed.  

We'll add an option to install HAProxy + Local TURN setup.

Hi Fred 

After upgrade from a working BigBlueButton 2.6.0-beta.7 on a VPS with public IP to  BigBlueButton 2.6.0-rc.1 using  bbb-install-2.6.sh I've a lot a error during the initial check:

Hi,

The problem mentioned in my previous post was caused by not enabling IPv6 on the VPS. Once activated everything started working normally.

It works wonderfully well on an EC2 instance.
We always had problems setting up a bypass server on AWS, but this new option in the turn script made installing the BigBlueButton server and Turn simple.
All we had to do was open port 3478 and everything works perfectly fine.

We validated using local firewall and external VPN. And it works!

Thank you very much and congratulations on the work.
