Install Spreed.ME on Nextcloud

This installation guide is tested with Nextcloud 13 on Ubuntu 16.04 and Spreed.ME 0.3.11.

Be sure that you have installed WebRTC and Coturn.

Configure Apache

# Spreed WebRTC config (must be in same vhost as NC)
# https section of Apache vhost config
<Location /webrtc>
    ProxyPass http://127.0.0.1:8080/webrtc
    ProxyPassReverse /webrtc
</Location>
<Location /webrtc/ws>
    ProxyPass ws://127.0.0.1:8080/webrtc/ws
</Location>
ProxyVia On
ProxyPreserveHost On
RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto 'https' env=HTTPS
a2enmod proxy proxy_http proxy_wstunnel headers
service apache2 restart
systemctl restart spreed-webrtc

Install the app

of the Nextcloud app store apps.nextcloud.com/apps/spreedme

Configure Spreed.ME

Navigate to Admin settings | Spreed.ME

Note that 2 config files were not found.

Missing config files

  • config/config.php was not found
  • extra/static/config/OwnCloudConfig.js was not found

They are not missing, it’s just the extension .in added to the file name. So go to the root directory of the app

cd /var/www/nextcloud/apps/spreedme
ls -al config
ls -al extra/static/config

Create OwnCloudConfig.js

Copy OwnCloudConfig.js.in to OwnCloudConfig.js and don’t forget to adjust the ownership of user/group

cd extra/static/config/
cp OwnCloudConfig.js.in OwnCloudConfig.js
chown www-data:www-data OwnCloudConfig.js

Reload admin settings page

and click on

Generate Spreed WebRTC config

Note that config/config.php is still not found at this time.

server.conf is on Ubuntu 16.04 webrtc.conf.

vi /etc/spreed/webrtc.conf

Delete everything here and paste the generated WebRTC config.

Adjust the root path

to webrtc-server in the http section (remove the semicolon at the beginning of the line)

[http]
listen = 127.0.0.1:8080
basePath = /webrtc/
root = /usr/share/spreed-webrtc-server/www

Add turn server and turn secret

to the [app] section of webrtc.conf

grep static-auth-secret /etc/turnserver.conf
583bAAAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBCCCCCCCCCCDDDDDDDDDDEEEEEEEEEEFFFFFFFFFF
turnURIs = turn:turn.domain.xx:3478?transport=udp turn:turn.domain.xx:3478?transport=tcp
turnSecret = 583bAAAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBCCCCCCCCCCDDDDDDDDDDEEEEEEEEEEFFFFFFFFFF

The complete webrtc.conf file should look like that

; Minimal Spreed WebRTC configuration for Nextcloud

[http]

listen = 127.0.0.1:8080 basePath = /webrtc/ root = /usr/share/spreed-webrtc-server/www

[app]

[users]

enabled = true mode = sharedsecret sharedsecret_secret = 0f9aAAAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBCCCCCCCCCCDDDDDDDDDDEEEEEEEEEEFFFFFFFFFF

Restart Spreed WebRTC

service spreed-webrtc restart

Create config/config.php

Go to the root directory of the Spreed.ME app

cd /var/www/nextcloud/apps/spreedme

and copy config/config.php.in to config/config.php. Also adjust user/group ownership.

cd config/
cp config.php.in config.php
chown www-data:www-data config.php

Adjust shared secret

The shared secret has to be the same sharedsecret_secret you already set in the [users] section of the webrtc.conf file from Spreed WebRTC server.

vi config.php
const SPREED_WEBRTC_SHAREDSECRET = '0f9aAAAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBCCCCCCCCCCDDDDDDDDDDEEEEEEEEEEFFFFFFFFFF';

The complete config.php should look like that

  const SPREED_WEBRTC_UPLOAD_FILE_TRANSFERS = false;

  // This value is only taken into account when 'SPREED_WEBRTC_UPLOAD_FILE_TRANSFERS' is set to true
  const SPREED_WEBRTC_ALLOW_ANONYMOUS_FILE_TRANSFERS = false;

  // Set to true if you want to allow access to this app + spreed-webrtc for non-registered users who received a temporary password by an Nextcloud admin.
  // You can generate such a temporary password at: /index.php/apps/spreedme/admin/tp (Nextcloud admin user account required)

  private function __construct() {

}

Congratulations!
