Prerequisites

1. A NetBSD machine with root access
2. A domain name for the server
3. A valid SSL certificate for the domain name

Step 1: Install Required Packages

MiroTalk SFU requires several dependencies to be installed. Run the following command to install the required packages:

pkgin install cmake ninja git pkg-config libsodium-dev openssl-dev libsrtp-dev libusrsctp-dev libmicrohttpd-dev libwebrtc-dev

cd mirotalk-sfu

Step 3: Build MiroTalk SFU

Now, we can build the MiroTalk SFU by running the following commands:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -GNinja ..
ninja

Step 4: Configure the Firewall

MiroTalk SFU uses UDP and TCP ports for communication. Open the following ports on your server by configuring the firewall:

• 3478-3479 (UDP)
• 5349 (TCP)
• 40000-49999 (UDP)

Step 5: Configure MiroTalk SFU

Create a new configuration file for MiroTalk SFU by copying the sample file:

cp config.toml.sample config.toml

Edit the config.toml file with the following values:

[http]
bind_addr = "127.0.0.1:8080" # localhost only

[https]
bind_addr = "0.0.0.0:8443" # all interfaces
cert = "/path/to/cert.pem"
key = "/path/to/privkey.pem"

[media]
public_ip = "your_public_ip"
min_port = 50000
max_port = 59999

[sfu]
stun_server = "stun:stun.l.google.com:19302"
turn_server = "turn:your_public_ip:5349"
turn_username = "your_username"
turn_password = "your_password"

Note: Replace the placeholders with the actual values of your server and SSL certificate.

Step 6: Start MiroTalk SFU

To start MiroTalk SFU, run the following command:

./mirotalk
