Talk Recording - 403 Forbidden error

[dustbro]

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to get Talk Recording working with the nextcloud/aio-talk and nextcloud/talk-recording containers and I’m running into a 403 Forbidden error from the recorder.

Setup Overview

• Nextcloud Server (Host B):
  Runs Nextcloud 31.0.6
  Spreed App is installed and working.
• HPB & Recorder (Host A - 192.168.1.189):
  Running Docker containers talk_hpb (signaling + TURN) and talk_recorder.

recording-config.json

{
  "storage": {
    "path": "/mnt/TalkRecorderMedia"
  },
  "signaling": {
    "internal_secret": "REDACTED",

Talk Admin Panel (Nextcloud)

In the Talk admin panel I’ve set the Recording Backend URL to:
http://192.168.1.189:8000
and the shared secret to match the internal_secret in the config.

Error

Whenever I try to start a recording, I get this in the Nextcloud log:

Client error: `POST http://192.168.1.189:8000/api/v1/room/ym7nu2gk` resulted in a `403 FORBIDDEN`

And:

Failed to send message to recording server

Any suggestions on debugging this ?
