Alright. I believe that means you need to fix your DNS.
"turn.domainexample.com" is pointing to a different server, and not the one running coturn.
Do you use Cloudflare as a DNS provider? I mean I don't know how that works, since I've never used it... But judging by the following documentation: https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/manage-dns-records/reference/proxied-dns-records/
I believe you need a dedicated record for the turn subdomain that's not "Proxied", but "DNS only".
But(!) there seems to be a caveat. There is a note on that page, saying: "If you have multiple A/AAAA records on the same name and at least one of them is proxied, Cloudflare will treat all A/AAAA records on this name as being proxied." I believe that means you can't point one of the subdomains directly at your VPS. At least not with Cloudflare DNS.
Edit: I'm not sure though, why putting in the IP address doesn't work... I think that should work. I'm not sure what Dendrite does in the background. Have you added the correct secret or username/password and set the correct transport type (TCP/UDP)? Maybe you could add the port number if it's non-standard...
Progress has been made!
So I got it working with the domain name. The turn testing tools now respond with relay and pin point the vps server! Nice!
However when I put the info into the matrix dendrite.yaml it still crashes. The logs say
"Invalid config file: yaml: line 210: did not find expected key"
"Invalid config file: yaml: line 206: did not find expected " - " indicator"
Line 210 and 206 refer to the turn section which is formatted:
turn: turn_user_lifetime: "5m" turn_uris: - turn:turn.exampledomain.com?transport=udp - turn:turn.exampledomain.com?transport=tcp
EDIT: line 206 seems to be
And line 210 is uncommented description so I don't know what that is about
Check your indentation. I'm not sure if Lemmy is messing with that, but there seems to be an additional erraneous space before turn_username and password in your config. And the dash should (I guess) be indented two spaces further than the previous line and then one space after the dash. I'm not sure if it's that.
Holy. Fuck. You just did it. You absolute madlad. It works no issues!!!
Thank you!!
You're welcome! Glad I could help, happy self-hosting ☺️ Hope it also forwards everything correctly and the chat client/app works, too.
