[OpenSIPS-Users] OpenSIPs 3.1 New install ERROR in Logs rtpproxy

Dear Donat,

Yeah I see what you mean about suggestions or examples.

After looking closer I see syntax error in their documentation and have corrected them on my system.
Now RTPproxy can start with command line option related to user  "-u rtpproxy:rtpproxy"   It needed a ":" there instead of a space.  I should have caught that before.
A fresh look after stepping away helped a lot.

The logs are fine too.  

Thanks again for all your input and help!

Good day Rick,

please try to carefully read the manual in order to understand the meaning of options, which are given to the binary at the start time.
It's pretty clear, furthermore an example of the systemd service file is given as an example, I underline this - an example.

This means you use that as a template, but you adjust it to your setup using the provided user manual. I hope I'm clear enough.

Log level option has the following syntax: -d log_level[:log_facility]
So you need to pick out one of the following log levels: DBUG, INFO, WARN, ERR and CRIT
and an existing log facility at your system, so in other words this should be pre-defined, for e.g. (file /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf):
...
local5.*        /var/log/rtpproxy.log

What relates to the "-u rtpproxy rtpproxy" option, this means that you should have created a user and an appropriate group with a given name.
The option which is pointed out in the template, is only as an example, one can freely pick out any other user/group he or she wants to run.
One might as well skip this and run using default user/group which will be picked out in its turn by a supervisor of the OS.

Best regards.

Dear Donat,

I went through your links and setup RTPproxy to autostart at boot time.
Also changed the log from LOG-LOCAL5  =  rtpproxy.log

Note that it was hell getting it to work.  It kept failing to load a boot time.  
Seems like it would not work with this option on the command line  "-u rtpproxy rtproxy"   I had to remove it then all would autostart at boot time ok.

FROIM:
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/rtpproxy -p /var/run/rtpproxy/rtpproxy.pid -s unix:/var/run/rtpproxy/rtpproxy.sock \
 -u rtpproxy rtpproxy -n unix:/var/run/rtpproxy/rtpproxy_timeout.sock $OPTIONS

TO:
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/rtpproxy -p /var/run/rtpproxy/rtpproxy.pid -s unix:/var/run/rtpproxy/rtpproxy.sock \
 -n unix:/var/run/rtpproxy/rtpproxy_timeout.sock $OPTIONS

Just FYI.

Good day Rick,
you are right, RTPproxy does not start after a reboot of a machine, because there is essentially no entity responsible for that (to start RTPproxy).
As I have already mentioned, you need to configure systemd (if that is a supervisor on your Debian system, which should actually be).

Please read two following sections of the user manual:
- getting started with RTPproxy - https://www.rtpproxy.org/doc/master/user_manual.html#idm221
- configuration of systemd service for RTPproxy - https://www.rtpproxy.org/doc/master/user_manual.html#idm650

After you are done with steps mentioned in those sections, your RTPproxy will start independently after the following reboot.

What relates to listening sockets please read the mentioned chapters to find an answer.
Just a brief overview of the most commonly used options:
"-L" - sets the maximum number of open file descriptors per process
"-l" - binding a socket to a particular IP interface of the machine. You can essentially set just "0.0.0.0" if you desire to listen to all available IP interfaces
"-m" - the lowest port to be used for RTP/RTCP sessions allocation
"-M" - an opposite to the above
"-d" - debug level (which will be used to log events to either syslog or a separate log file, if you choose so)
"-p" - a link to the PID file, which will be created as soon as binary starts its work
"-u" - user and group to be used for handling the process(es)
"-n" - specifies permitted notification socket, this socket must be created by another application, preferably before starting rtpproxy itself
(for e.g. OpenSIPS crates a timeout socket by usage of this modparam: https://opensips.org/html/docs/modules/3.1.x/rtpproxy.html#param_rtpp_notify_socket)

Other than that, please read the user manual to find a ready template for running with the systemd supervisor.

I hope this answers your questions.

Dear Donat,

I REALLY REALLY appreciate your comments and help!!   It got the ball rolling for me.  
I was stuck a bit because I’m so unfamiliar with OpenSIPs and RTPproxy and the info out there is sparce or a little openended.  Not sure what to focus on or ignore.

I finally got it working!
Only a little bit left I need to do so that it all works automatically when I reboot.   Right now after a reboot it does not listen still on port 12221
For now I just did the startup command via the command line to see if it would work.

root at sip:/usr/src/rtpproxy# rtpproxy -l 10.1.1.57 -s udp:localhost:12221 -F

I probably need to add the Public IP and 127.0.0.1 or localhost also for -l  command line option.

root at sip:/usr/src/rtpproxy# rtpproxy -V
2.2.alpha.3a82dd9d

Good day Rick,
sure I'm always glad to help.

OpenSIPS is first of all a SIP proxy.
That's why you get OpenSIPS binary, accompanying shared libraries (.so libraries) and configuration files for it (opensips script, it's C-like).
And as another side of OpenSIPS, which is perfect and powerful, you can always add needed modules to it for any desires you have, e.g.:
media proxying (RTPproxy in your case), B2B logic, fraud detection/protection, load-balancing etc. etc. (this list is dramatically huge).

Here you can find a list of useful guidelines provided by OpenSIPS dev team:
https://www.opensips.org/Documentation/Manual-3-1

If you wonder how to start with RTPproxy, I would advise to compile 2.0 firstly.
It's here: https://github.com/sippy/rtpproxy/tree/rtpp_2_0
Looking in the experience back, this version showed itself as the best one.
Still, I want to underline that I might be mistaken about what relates to the most stable version, as things could have changed during the course of time.

As a guideline to RTPproxy, please try to look into that: https://www.rtpproxy.org/doc/master/user_manual.html

Then depending on which supervisor you use (if you have debian 10.7, that should be systemd),
you can form a configuration file for RTPproxy service and you can pick out which parameters to hand to the rtpproxy binary at the start time.
Options and syntax of their usage can be obtained at the user manual I mentioned above.

Best regards.

Dear Donat,

No I did not install or compile RTPproxy yet.
I'm very new to OpenSIPs but have knowledge in other areas of Telco.

I'm using the OpenSIPS quick start guides.   Surprised that RTPproxy is not even mentioned in them considering the need for it to get OpenSIPs to work.

Anyway thanks for your reply.  Just your questions got me pointed in the right direction.

Good day Rick.

It looks like your OpenSIPS instance is complaining due to the absence of RTPproxy daemon.
Or at least a socket, which OpenSIPS tries to use, is not reachable for some reason (udp:localhost:12221).

Have you compiled the RTPproxy already?
And also could you share your configuration of rtpproxy.so ?

Best regards

Dear OpenSIPs Community,

I have a fresh install of OpenSIPs 3.1 on Debian 10.7
I have done the basic install but it is yet to be configured with any
gateways and only has a few test users setup on it.
I'm new to OpenSIPs.

The ERROR issue I'm seeing in the log files seems related to rtpproxy.
I’m not familiar yet with OpenSIPs so if someone could at least point in the
right direction to start to solve this error it might save me a lot of time
Googling.
