Nextcloud Talk not connecting calls

[joseph]

@dmikolaj is this spam?

Actually I also still experience this issue, I can't make proper video call even after configure built-in TURN server, is there any port that should be set in firewall ?

[dmikolaj]

@joseph no this is not spam.

I tried both on your demo server and on my own test VPS to get nextcloud talk to work. The calls only work when both callers are on the same network which tells me that the turn server is not working. I also have a hetzner storage share nextcloud instance in which talk works out of the box in the same test scenario.

The hetzner nextcloud talk settings show their turn/stun server configured to port 443 and it works great.

I was wondering if I was doing something wrong, and have been looking through forums to try and see if there is a fix. So far it sounds like the built in cloudron turn server is not on port 443 which means it doesn't work reliably across all networks.

It is correct, since Cloudron only has one server, where port 443 is occupied by the nginx reverse proxy, the turn server is not running on port 443. This can impact functionality depending on the local network setup. For this you can disable the usage of Cloudron's built-in turn server in nextcloud. See https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/#turn

Afterwards you can configure an alternative turn server, which works in your setup.

@nebulon I guess the question (which not really provided in docs) is suggested port numbers that should be kept away from firewall

[nebulon]

@firmansi do you mean something like https://docs.cloudron.io/security/#inbound-ports or referring to something else?

[firmansi]

@nebulon yes, thanks

I can heavily recommend running a dedicated turn server or even better the high performance backend for reliable NC Talk conversations. I have had only problems using the built in turn server.

@andreasdueren said in Nextcloud Talk not connecting calls:

the high performance backend

remind me, does that come with a turn server built in?

[andreasdueren]

@jdaviescoates I don't think necessarily, but you can use for example this repo which includes a turn server: https://github.com/sunweaver/nextcloud-high-performance-backend-setup

Hi everyone i experienced the same problem but with an exiting background:
On a Cloudron that was spinned up at Feb 2021 NextCloud talk Calls from outside the local network doesn't work: Not connecting calls.
We just spinned up another Cloudron for another Team with the same configuration and the Nextcloud Talk Calls ran out of the box!
I don't want to attach another Service/Backend and i also don't want to "customize" the Firewall settings, but i would love to have a running NextCloud talk System on the older Cloudron too.
Maybe the Cloudron installation script changed in the last years so that it works now but not before..!?
Does it make sense or does anyone have an idea how to apply the same settings to the old cloudron?
I could maybe provide some infos of both instances. Maybe comparing the iptables settings would make sense?! I'm not a server-expert so a little help here would be much appreciated! Thanks!
