*sigh* so looks like #CoTurn does not really want you to use it with #eJabberd ( see https://landchad.net/coturn/ ).

In addition, dynamic FTTH external IP addresses are apparently not simpatico with the required TURN/STUN setup - seems you need all kinds of haxery to detect external IP changes, modify the ejabberd config, and then RESTART the beast, cause apparently reload_config is not currently enough.

FWIW, as far as I could glean, CoTurn would also need some massaging when the external IP changes.

Disclaimer: I might be missing information still!

BUT damn this sucks.
The whole entire point of STUN/TURN afaik is to help a client figure out their external situation.
In my mind, that INCLUDES situations where external IP is fluid. Seems such an obvious thing.

But apparently no. These things seems to come from a time where it as assumed the server would have a static IP.

Dammit.
And it seems the current devs running ejabberd has the same mindset.

Coturn | LandChad.net

Coturn is a libre STUN and TURN server software that allows users of internet applications or protocols (Such as XMPP and Matrix) to perform WebRTC voice and video calls despite them being behind NATs. If you want to add video and voice calling natively to your XMPP or Matrix server (or a myriad of various other applications), you鈥檒l need to install Coturn and configure it appropriately. Note on ejabberd If you鈥檙e installing ejabberd, then you don鈥檛 need Coturn.
