Kazoo is a powerful unified communication platform designed for building scalable and reliable voice, video, and messaging applications. It is developed by 2600hz organization and offers a range of advanced features such as advanced routing, call recording, IVR, and many more. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Kazoo on Alpine Linux latest.
Before we begin, please make sure you have the following:
To start with, it is recommended to update the server's package list and upgrade all installed packages to their latest versions. You can do this by running the following commands:
sudo apk update
sudo apk upgrade
Before installing Kazoo, we need to install some required packages. These packages include Erlang, Redis, and PostgreSQL.
Erlang is a programming language and runtime environment that is required for running Kazoo. You can install Erlang by running the following command:
sudo apk add erlang
Redis is a high-performance in-memory data store that is used in Kazoo for caching purposes. You can install Redis by running the following command:
sudo apk add redis
PostgreSQL is a powerful open-source relational database management system that is used in Kazoo for storing call logs and other data. You can install PostgreSQL by running the following command:
sudo apk add postgresql postgresql-client
Now that we have installed all the required packages, we can proceed to install Kazoo. Follow these steps to install Kazoo on Alpine Linux.
First, we need to download the latest version of Kazoo from the 2600hz repository. You can download the package using the following commands:
cd /tmp
wget https://github.com/2600hz/kazoo/archive/master.zip
Once the package is downloaded, we need to extract it. You can extract the package by running the following commands:
unzip master.zip
cd kazoo-master
Before installing Kazoo, we need to install its dependencies. You can install the dependencies by running the following command:
make deps
Now we are ready to install Kazoo. You can install Kazoo by running the following command:
make
Before we start Kazoo, we need to configure it. Follow these steps to configure Kazoo:
First, we need to create a new PostgreSQL user and database for Kazoo. You can create them using the following commands:
sudo -u postgres createuser --createdb --encrypted --pwprompt kazoo
sudo -u postgres createdb --owner=kazoo kazoo
Next, we need to setup Kazoo configuration files. To do this, run the following commands:
cp kazoo/config/kazoo.ini.default kazoo/config/kazoo.ini
cp whistle_apps.config.example whistle_apps.config
Finally, we need to configure Kazoo by editing its configuration files. To do this, run the following commands:
nano kazoo/config/kazoo.ini
nano whistle_apps.config
In kazoo/config/kazoo.ini file, configure the following:
[kazoo_apps]
amqp_uri = amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672
In whistle_apps.config file, configure the following:
{amqp_url, "amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672"},
{amqp_exchange, "kazoo"},
{db_host, "127.0.0.1"},
{db_port, 5432},
{db_username,<<"kazoo">>},
{db_password,<<"mypassword">>},
{db_database,<<"kazoo">>},
Now we are ready to start Kazoo. You can start Kazoo by running the following command:
sup kazoo start
That's it! You have successfully installed and configured Kazoo on Alpine Linux. You can now use Kazoo to build powerful communication applications.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
