Hello!  
For now, as I can see, OpenVidu uses Coturn credential mechanism with turnadmin even in docker environment. Is there a problem to generate coturn keys for generated coturn users and to manage them in redis directly?  
I’m using openvidu-server v.2.12.0 and because of turnadmin I have had to create solid container with kurento, openvidu and coturn

We use turnadmin because is the easiest way to generate coturn credentials in a redis.

Why don’t you want to use turnadmin? Why you prefer using Java code to do that? Just asking.

In any case, I suppose is perfectly possible as soon as you create users with the format needed by coturn.

Yes, I have found your implementation, and to install an additional coturn in openvidu container to use its turnadmin – that was awesome 🙂  
Thanks!
