How To Install coturn on CentOS 8
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install coturn on CentOS 8.
What is coturn
The Coturn TURN Server is a VoIP media traffic NAT traversal server and gateway. It can be used as a general-purpose network traffic TURN server/gateway, too. This implementation also includes some extra features. Supported RFCs TURN specs - RFC 5766 - base TURN specs - RFC 6062 - TCP relaying TURN extension - RFC 6156 - IPv6 extension for TURN - Experimental DTLS support as client protocol. STUN specs - RFC 3489 - “classic” STUN - RFC 5389 - base “new” STUN specs - RFC 5769 - test vectors for STUN protocol testing - RFC 5780 - NAT behavior discovery support The implementation fully supports the following client-to-TURN-server protocols - UDP (per RFC 5766) - TCP (per RFC 5766 and RFC 6062) - TLS (per RFC 5766 and RFC 6062); TLS1.0/TLS1.1/TLS1.2 - DTLS (experimental non-standard feature) Supported relay protocols - UDP (per RFC 5766) - TCP (per RFC 6062) Supported user databases (for user repository, with passwords or keys, if authentication is required) - SQLite - MySQL - PostgreSQL - Redis Redis can also be used for status and statistics storage and notification. Supported TURN authentication mechanisms - long-term - TURN REST API (a modification of the long-term mechanism, for time-limited secret-based authentication, for WebRTC applications) The load balancing can be implemented with the following tools (either one or a combination of them) - network load-balancer server - DNS-based load balancing - built-in ALTERNATE-SERVER mechanism.
We can use yum or dnf to install coturn on CentOS 8. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install coturn.
Install coturn on CentOS 8 Using dnf
Update yum database with dnf using the following command.
sudo dnf makecache --refresh
The output should look something like this:
CentOS Linux 8 - AppStream 43 kB/s | 4.3 kB 00:00
CentOS Linux 8 - BaseOS 65 kB/s | 3.9 kB 00:00
CentOS Linux 8 - ContinuousRelease 43 kB/s | 3.0 kB 00:00
CentOS Linux 8 - Extras 23 kB/s | 1.5 kB 00:00
CentOS Linux 8 - FastTrack 40 kB/s | 3.0 kB 00:00
CentOS Linux 8 - HighAvailability 36 kB/s | 3.9 kB 00:00
CentOS Linux 8 - Plus 24 kB/s | 1.5 kB 00:00
CentOS Linux 8 - PowerTools 50 kB/s | 4.3 kB 00:00
Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux Modular 8 - x86_64 13 kB/s | 9.2 kB 00:00
Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 8 - x86_64 24 kB/s | 8.5 kB 00:00
Metadata cache created.
After updating yum database, We can install coturn using dnf by running the following command:
sudo dnf -y install coturn
Install coturn on CentOS 8 Using yum
Update yum database with yum using the following command.
sudo yum makecache --refresh
The output should look something like this:

CentOS Linux 8 - BaseOS 65 kB/s | 3.9 kB 00:00
CentOS Linux 8 - ContinuousRelease 43 kB/s | 3.0 kB 00:00
CentOS Linux 8 - Extras 23 kB/s | 1.5 kB 00:00
CentOS Linux 8 - FastTrack 40 kB/s | 3.0 kB 00:00
CentOS Linux 8 - HighAvailability 36 kB/s | 3.9 kB 00:00
CentOS Linux 8 - Plus 24 kB/s | 1.5 kB 00:00
CentOS Linux 8 - PowerTools 50 kB/s | 4.3 kB 00:00
Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux Modular 8 - x86_64 13 kB/s | 9.2 kB 00:00
Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 8 - x86_64 24 kB/s | 8.5 kB 00:00
Metadata cache created.
After updating yum database, We can install coturn using yum by running the following command:
sudo yum -y install coturn
How To Uninstall coturn on CentOS 8
To uninstall only the coturn package we can use the following command:
sudo dnf remove coturn
