Move and split documentation files (#1096)
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

# Build
## Using autoconfigure build
If you are sure that you system is ready for the build (see the section
"Extra libraries and Utilities" below) then you can build the system.
First, you have to run the configure script:
$ cd turnserver-*
$ ./configure
It will create a Makefile customized for your system.
By default, the generated Makefile will install everything to:
- /usr on Solaris.
- /usr/pkg on NetBSD.
- /usr/local everywhere else.
The binaries will be copied to the bin subdirectory of the installation
destination, config files copied to etc subdirectory. The default SQLite database
will be created in var/db/turndb. There will be
also documents, examples and some other files, in separate directories.
You can change the root configured destination directory by
setting PREFIX variable in the
configure command line. For example:
$ PREFIX=/opt ./configure
Or:
$ ./configure --prefix=/opt
You can change the auxiliary configured destination sub-directories by
setting BINDIR, CONFDIR, MANPREFIX, EXAMPLESDIR, DOCSDIR, LIBDIR, SCHEMADIR,
LOCALSTATEDIR, TURNDBDIR and TURNINCLUDEDIR variables in the
configure command line. For example:
$ PREFIX=/opt BINDIR=/opt/bin64 CONFDIR=/opt/conf ./configure
Or:
$ ./configure --prefix=/opt --bindir=/opt/bin64 --confdir=/opt/conf
You also can change the compilation and link options by
setting common build variables in the
configure command line. For example:
$ CC=clang CFLAGS=-D_CAURIB LDFLAGS=-lshanka ./configure --prefix=/opt/shy
See below a separate INSTALL section for more details.
The script "configure" is a proprietary script. It will create a Makefile
that you can use to build the project:
$ make
The make command without options will do the following:
- compile the code.
- create bin/ sub-directory and put the TURN server, TURN admin and
"utility" programs there.
- create lib/ sub-directory and put the client library there.
- create include/turn/ sub-directory and put include files there.
- create sqlite/turndb default empty database that will be copied to
var/db/ during the installation.
The TURN programs can be either called directly, or a shell scripts can be used.
The script examples are located in examples/scripts directory. These scripts
are just examples: you can run them successfully for the tests, but
you will have to change the script parameters for your real environment.
The command:
$ sudo make install
will install everything into the system file structure (see below).
(NOTE: On NetBSD, use "su root -c").
The command:
$ sudo make deinstall
will remove all installed TURN Server files from your system.
The command:
$ make clean
will clean all results of the build and configuration actions.
Do not run "make clean" before "make deinstall". The "clean" command will
remove the Makefile and you will not be able to "deinstall" then. If that
has happened, then run ./configure and make again, then deinstall and then
clean.
NOTE: On most modern systems, the build will produce dynamically linked
executables. If you want statically linked executables, you have to modify,
accordingly, the Makefile.in template file.
## Using cmake build
If you are sure that you system is ready for the build (see the section
"Extra libraries and Utilities" below) and cmake tools then you can build
the system.
First, create build directory. you have to run the follow script:
$ cd coturn
$ mkdir build
Then you have to run the configure script:
$ cmake ..
It will create a Makefile customized for your system.
By default, the generated Makefile will install everything to:
- /usr on Solaris.
- /usr/pkg on NetBSD.
- /usr/local everywhere else.
The binaries will be copied to the bin subdirectory of the installation
destination, config files copied to etc subdirectory. The default SQLite database
will be created in var/db/turndb. There will be
also documents, examples and some other files, in separate directories.
You can change the root configured destination directory by
setting CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX variable in the
configure command line. For example:
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt
Build the project:
$ cmake --build .
Install all files(runtime programmes and develop library):
$ cmake --build . --target install
Remove all installed:
$ cmake --build . --target uninstall
If you want to only install runtime programmes(programmes, configure files,
script files and database):
$ cmake --build . --target install-runtime
Remove all installed:
$ cmake --build . --target uninstall-runtime
# INSTALL
This step is optional. You can run the turnserver from the original build
directory, successfully, without installing the TURN server into your system.
You have to install the turnserver only if you want to integrate the
turnserver in your system.
Run the command:
$ make install
It will install turnserver in /usr/local/ directory (or to whatever directory
was set in the PREFIX variable). You will have to copy
/usr/local/etc/turnserver.conf.default to /usr/local/etc/turnserver.conf file
and adjust your runtime configuration.
This command will also:
- copy the content of examples subdirectory into
PREFIX/share/examples/turnserver/ directory;
- copy the generated default empty SQLite database from sqlite/turndb
to /usr/local/var/db or to /var/db/turndb;
- copy the content of include/turn subdirectory into
PREFIX/include/turn/ directory;
- copy the database schema file turndb/schema.sql into
PREFIX/share/turnserver/
directory;
- copy all docs into PREFIX/share/doc/turnserver/ directory.
The installation destination of "make install" can be changed by
using DESTDIR variable, for example:
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr
$ make
$ make DESTDIR=/opt install
In this example, the root installation directory will be /opt/usr.
The "configure" script by default generates a Makefile with "rpath" option
set for the dynamic libraries linking (if your system and your compiler
allow that option). If that is not desirable (like in some OS packaging
procedures), then run the "configure" script with --disable-rpath option.
If you are not using the rpath linking option, then after the installation,
you may have to adjust the system-wide shared library search path with
"ldconfig -n <libdirname>" (Linux), "ldconfig -m <libdirname>" (BSD) or
"crle -u -l <libdirname>" (Solaris). Your system must be able to find the
libevent2, openssl and (optionally) SQLite and/or PostgreSQL and/or MySQL
(MariaDB) and/or MongoDB and/or Redis shared libraries, either with the
help of the system-wide library search configuration or by using
LD_LIBRARY_PATH. "make install" will make a non-guaranteed effort to add
automatically PREFIX/lib and /usr/local/lib to the libraries search path,
but if you have some libraries in different non-default directories then
you will have to add them manually to the search path, or you will have
to adjust LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
# WHICH EXTRA LIBRARIES AND UTILITIES YOU NEED
In addition to common *NIX OS services and libraries, to compile this code,
OpenSSL (version 1.0.0a or better recommended) and libevent2 (version 2.0.5
or better) are required, SQLite C development library and header is optional,
the PostgreSQL C client development setup is optional,
the MySQL (MariaDB) C client development setup is optional,
the MongoDB C Driver and the Hiredis development files for Redis database
access are all optional. For development build, the development headers and
the libraries to link with, are to be installed. For the runtime, only the
runtime setup is required. If the build is modified for
static linking, then even runtime installation is not needed.
OpenSSL, SQLite, libevent2, PostgreSQL, MySQL (or MariaDB) and Hiredis
libraries can be downloaded from their web sites:
- http://www.openssl.org (required);
- http://www.libevent.org (required);
- http://www.sqlite.org (optional);
- http://www.postgresql.org (optional);
- http://www.mysql.org (or http://mariadb.org) (optional);
- https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-c-driver (optional);
- http://redis.io (optional).
The installations are pretty straightforward - the usual
"./configure" and "make install" commands. Install them into their default
locations - the configure script and the Makefile are assuming that they are
installed in their default locations. If not, then you will have to modify
those.
Most modern popular systems (FreeBSD, Linux Ubuntu/Debian/Mint, Amazon Linux, Fedora)
have a simpler way of the third party tools installation:
*) FreeBSD (the FRESH ports database is assumed to be installed, with
the turnserver port included):
$ cd /usr/ports/net/turnserver
$ sudo make install clear
That's it - that command will install the TURN server with all necessary
third-party tools.
If you system have no fresh ports repository:
$ cd /usr/ports/security/openssl/
$ sudo make install clean
$ cd /usr/ports/databases/sqlite3/
$ sudo make install clean
$ cd /usr/ports/devel/libevent2/
$ sudo make install clean
$ cd /usr/ports/databases/postgresql84-client/ (or any other version)
$ sudo make install clean
$ cd /usr/ports/databases/mysql51-client/ (or any other version)
$ sudo make install clean
$ cd /usr/ports/databases/hiredis/
$ sudo make install clean
**) Linux Ubuntu, Debian, Mint:
$ sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libsqlite3 (or sqlite3)
$ sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev (or sqlite3-dev)
$ sudo apt-get install libevent-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libpq-dev
$ sudo apt-get install mysql-client
$ sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libhiredis-dev
or you can use Synaptic or other software center.
***) Fedora:
$ sudo yum install openssl-devel
$ sudo yum install sqlite
$ sudo yum install sqlite-devel
$ sudo yum install libevent
$ sudo yum install libevent-devel
$ sudo yum install postgresql-devel
$ sudo yum install postgresql-server
$ sudo yum install mysql-devel
$ sudo yum install mysql-server
$ sudo yum install hiredis
$ sudo yum install hiredis-devel
****) Amazon Linux is similar to Fedora, but:
- you have to install gcc first:
$ sudo yum install gcc
- mongo-c-driver packages are not available "automatically".
MongoDB support will not be compiled, unless you install it "manually"
before the TURN server compilation. Refer to
https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-c-driver for installation instructions
of the driver.
- hiredis packages are not available, so do not issue the
hiredis installation commands. Redis support will not be
compiled, unless you install it "manually" before the TURN
server compilation. For Amazon EC2 AMIs, we install the
redis manually in the system. But the TURN server can be
perfectly installed without redis support - if you do not
need it.
*****) Older Debian family Linuxes are using some packages
with different names.
******) On some CentOS / RedHat 6.x systems you have to install
libevent2 "manually", and optionally you have to download and
install Hiredis, but everything else can be found in the software
repository. Also, if you would like to make an RPM for CentOS,
check the directory rpm/ with the instructions.
NOTE: If your tools are installed in non-standard locations, you will
have to adjust CFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables for TURN
server ./configure script. For example, to configure the TURN server
with Solaris 11 PostgreSQL 32-bits setup, you may use a command
like this:
$ CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -I/usr/postgres/9.2-pgdg/include/" LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS} -L/usr/postgres/9.2-pgdg/lib/" ./configure
Dynamic library paths:
You may also have to adjust the turn server start script, add all the dynamic runtime
library paths to LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Or you may find that it would be more convenient to adjust the
system-wide shared library search path by using commands:
on Linux:
$ ldconfig -n <libdirname>
or on BSD:
$ ldconfig -m <libdirname>
or on Solaris:
$ crle -u -l <libdirname>
On Mac OS X, you have three different choices for dynamic libraries handling:
1) Use DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable in runtime; OR
2) Before the compilation, check the dynamic libraries and adjust their identification names,
if necessary, to the absolute library path or to @rpath/<library-file-name>.
For example, the MySQL dynamic library may need that adjustment. You will have to use
"adjust_name_tool" with -id option for that; OR
3) After the compilation, you can use the same tool, "adjust_name_tool",
with option -change, to adjust the library paths values in the binary,
where necessary. All library paths must be absolute paths or @rpath/... .
See also the next section.
NOTE: See "SQLite setup" and "PostgreSQL setup" and "MySQL setup" and
"MongoDB setup" and "Redis setup" sections below for more database setup
information.
NOTE: If you do not install SQLite or PostgreSQL or MySQL or MongoDB or Redis,
then you will be limited to the command-line options for user database.
It will work great for development setup, but for real runtime systems you
will need SQLite or PostgreSQL or MySQL or MongoDB or Redis.
NOTE: To run PostgreSQL or MySQL or MongoDB or Redis server on the same system,
you will also have to install a corresponding PostgreSQL or MySQL or
MongoDB or Redis server package. The DB C development packages only provide
development libraries, and client libraries only provide client
access utilities and runtime libraries. The server packages may
include everything - client, C development and server runtime.
NOTE: OpenSSL to be installed before libevent2. When libevent2 is building,
it is checking whether OpenSSL has been already installed, and which version
of OpenSSL. If the OpenSSL is missed, or too old, then libevent_openssl
library is not being created during the build, and you will not be able to
compile the TURN Server with TLS support.
NOTE: An older libevent version, version 1.x.x, is often included in some *NIX
distributions. That version has its deficiencies and is inferior to the newer
libevent2, especially in the performance department. This is why we are
not providing backward compatibility with the older libevent 1.x version.
If you have a system with older libevent, then you have to install the new
libevent2 from their web site. It was tested with older *NIXes
(like FreeBSD 6.x) and it works just fine.
NOTE: SQLite must be of version 3.x.
NOTE: For extra security features (like DTLS)
support, OpenSSL version 1.0.0a or newer is recommended. Older versions do
not support DTLS, reliably, in some cases. For example, the Debian 'Squeeze'
Linux supplies 0.9.8 version of OpenSSL, that does not work correctly with
DTLS over IPv6. If your system already has an older version of OpenSSL
installed (usually in directory /usr) then you may want to install your
newer OpenSSL "over" the old one (because it will most probably will not allow
removal of the old one). When installing the newer OpenSSL, run the OpenSSL's
configure command like this:
$ ./config --prefix=/usr
that will set the installation prefix to /usr (without "--prefix=/usr"
by default it would be installed to /usr/local). This is necessary if you
want to overwrite your existing older OpenSSL installation.
IX. BUILDING WITH NON-DEFAULT PREFIX DIRECTORY
Say, you have an older system with old openssl and old libevent
library and you do not want to change that, but you still want
to build the turnserver.
Do the following steps:
1) Download new openssl from openssl.org.
2) Configure and build new openssl and install it into /opt:
$ ./config --prefix=/opt
$ make
$ make install
3) Download the latest libevent2 from libevent.org, configure and install
it into /opt:
$ ./configure --prefix=/opt
$ make
$ make install
4) Change directory to coturn and build it:
$ ./configure --prefix=/opt
$ make
After that, you can either use it locally, or install it into /opt.
But remember that to run it, you have to adjust your LD_LIBRARY_PATH,
like that:
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/lib ./bin/turnserver
An alternative would be adjusting the system-wide shared library search path
by using
$ ldconfig -n <libdirname> (Linux)
$ ldconfig -m <libdirname> (BSD)
$ crle -u -l <libdirname> (Solaris)
