How to Install Wazo on Arch Linux

In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Wazo, a platform for IP telephony, on Arch Linux.

Prerequisites

Before starting the installation process, ensure that your system is up to date and has all the necessary components installed. To do this, use the following command:

sudo pacman -Syyu

Install Postgresql

Wazo requires PostgreSQL to function properly. Install PostgreSQL by running:

sudo pacman -S postgresql

Then, start the PostgreSQL service:

sudo systemctl start postgresql

You can also configure PostgreSQL to start at boot:

sudo systemctl enable postgresql

Install Wazo

Now, we can start the installation of Wazo. Add the Wazo repository to your list of software sources by running:

echo -e "[wazo]
Server = https://mirror.wazo.community/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
SigLevel = Never" | sudo tee -a /etc/pacman.conf

Now, you can install Wazo:

sudo pacman -S wazo

Initialize the Database

After installing Wazo, we need to initialize the database. Run the following command:

sudo -u postgres /usr/share/wazo-provd/bin/wazo-provd-init-db

Start Wazo Services

To start Wazo services, run:

sudo systemctl start wazo-engine.service
sudo systemctl start wazo-websocketd.service
sudo systemctl start wazo-worker.service
sudo systemctl start wazo-certificate.service
sudo systemctl start wazo-scheduler.service
sudo systemctl start wazo-xivo-confgend.service

You can also configure these services to start at boot:

sudo systemctl enable wazo-engine.service
sudo systemctl enable wazo-websocketd.service
sudo systemctl enable wazo-worker.service
sudo systemctl enable wazo-certificate.service
sudo systemctl enable wazo-scheduler.service
sudo systemctl enable wazo-xivo-confgend.service

Access the Wazo Web Interface

After starting the Wazo services, you can access the web interface by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Wazo on Arch Linux.

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!
