This is not a long term documentation works - this is a temp proposal to modernize existing documentation - Create docs folder - Move existing documentation files into docs - Split one massive INSTALL files into smaller files (no text editing was done except small markdown header formatting) - Rename files to be markdowns for nicer rendering - Bad md rendering is expected in many places

# OPENSSL
|
|
|
|
If you are using the OpenSSL that is coming with your system, and you are
|
|
OK with it, then you do not have to read this chapter. If your system has
|
|
an outdated OpenSSL version, or if you need some very fresh OpenSSL features
|
|
that are not present in the current usual stable version, then you may have
|
|
to compile (and run) your TURN server with a different OpenSSL version.
|
|
|
|
For example, if you need ALPN feature, or DTLS1.2, and your system comes with
|
|
OpenSSL 1.0.1, you will not be able to use those features unless you install
|
|
OpenSSL 1.0.2 and compile and run the TURN server with the newer version.
|
|
|
|
The problem is, it is usually not safe to replace the system's OpenSSL with
|
|
a different version. Some systems are "bound" to its "native" OpenSSL
|
|
installations, and their behavior may become unpredictable with the newer
|
|
versions.
|
|
|
|
So you want to preserve your system's OpenSSL but you want to compile and to
|
|
run the TURN server with newer OpenSSL version. There are different ways to
|
|
do that. We are suggesting the following:
|
|
|
|
1) Download the OpenSSL version from openssl.org.
|
|
2) Let's assume that we want to install the "custom" OpenSSL into /opt.
|
|
Configure and build OpenSSL as:
|
|
$ ./config --prefix=/opt
|
|
$ make
|
|
$ make install
|
|
Those commands will install OpenSSL into /opt, with static libraries (no
|
|
dynamic libraries).
|
|
3) Build the TURN server:
|
|
$ ./configure --prefix=/opt
|
|
$ make
|
|
Those commands will build the TURN server binaries, statically linked
|
|
against the newer OpenSSL.
|
|
4) Then you can run the TURN server without setting the dynamic
|
|
libraries paths - because it has been linked statically against the newer
|
|
OpenSSL libraries.
|
|
|
|
One potential problem is that libevent2 is using the OpenSSL, too. So, ideally,
|
|
to be 100% safe of all potential discrepancies in the runtime, we'd suggesting
|
|
rebuilding libevent2 with the newer OpenSSL, too.
