coturn VS mirotalk

You're welcome! If this is for mission-critical or commercial use, you will want to invest in a good TURN server to ensure a reliable connection between peers. You can either self-host your own Coturn server or pay for a service like Twilio. But if this is just a hobby project, you can just use the free Open Relay Project.

NetBird and Netmaker are similar in their capabilities and mesh offering, the same goes for Tailscale, but if we compare technical implementations, Netbird relies on the ICE and STUN protocols to discover the best path for p2p connectivity between peers. These are open WebRTC protocols with battle-tested software around them. Similarly, we use TURN for securely relaying traffic, when a p2p connection isn't possible (hard NAT). This protocol also comes from the WebRTC world and has stable and popular implementations like Coturn.

There are several options available both self-hosted and cloud provided services. A self-hosted option is to use the open source COTURN project and running it for example on an EC2 instance on AWS. The quickest way to get this up and running is to spin up an EC2 instance (ubuntu) running a Docker engine. To install Docker engine:

What does this do better than coturn (https://github.com/coturn/coturn)?

Audio/video calls is a matter of setting up a TURN server (either coturn or eturnal are typically used) and then putting the info in the Prosody config so it can inform clients. There is a short guide on setting up coturn for Prosody and eturnal shouldn't be too different.

Wiretrustee uses TURN to relay traffic in case a direct peer-to-peer connection isn't possible (happens with carrier-grade NATs).

Basically yes. The difference would be that we are trying to use more open source technologies and libraries instead of implementing our own. For example pion/ice from the WebRTC project and coturn for STUN and TURN. Both ice and coturn are used to go around NAT. We lack a peer management system that will allow to add peers dynamically. Tailscale and Zero tier have it but not open sourced. We plan to implement such a system and open source it.

Coturn as TURN relay server

Hello teleden, Every time I post something, there's always someone asking the same question as you :) You can try the all my live demo versions and see the diffs: MiroTalk P2P GitHub: https://github.com/miroslavpejic85/mirotalk Demo: https://p2p.mirotalk.com/ MiroTalk SFU GitHub: https://github.com/miroslavpejic85/mirotalksfu Demo: https://sfu.mirotalk.com/ MiroTalk C2C GitHub: https://github.com/miroslavpejic85/mirotalkc2c Demo: https://c2c.mirotalk.com/ I think it's just a matter of personal tastes...! Thank you!

I started the MiroTalk P2P & MiroTalk SFU projects during the pandemic period (about 1+ year ago), not knowing anything about the WebRTC. Making often the video conferences with my colleagues and not wanting to depend on Zoom, Teams, Google Meet... I decided to do some research about how it works and from there MiroTalk was born :) I Giving to everyone the chance to have its own instance of MiroTalk, which can be customized as you like and run in any cloud, vps, server. If you're just starting out, I suggest you take a look at the MiroTalk C2C (New) code, which can be a good starting point to understand how the architecture WebRTC Mesh (P2P) works. Later you can also study how the WebRTC SFU (Selective Forwarding Units - I recommend mediasoup which I personally love) or MCU (Multipoint Control Unit) architecture works. I wish you all the best!

Hello Realistic-Planet3957, It's my pleasure to share it. Check out this doc of P2P version of MiroTalk, the steps are the same if you want ot self host it: https://github.com/miroslavpejic85/mirotalk/blob/master/docs/self-hosting.md

Do you want to try something other than 𝐙𝐨𝐨𝐦, 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐬, 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐠𝐥𝐞-𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭 ...?

If the answer is 𝐘𝐞𝐬, why not, then what are you waiting for to try 𝐌𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐤!
