Flexisip is an open source SIP server that is compatible with various SIP clients such as Linphone or Zoiper. It is easy to install on different platforms, including Clear Linux Latest. In this tutorial, we will guide you step-by-step through the installation process of Flexisip on Clear Linux Latest.
Before you begin the installation process, ensure that your system meets the following requirements:
Install Flexisip dependencies:
sudo swupd bundle-add devpkg-libxml2 devpkg-openssl devpkg-libevent
Download the Flexisip archive file from Linphone's website. The latest version of the software is available here: https://www.linphone.org/releases/flexisip/flexisip-latest.tar.gz
wget https://www.linphone.org/releases/flexisip/flexisip-latest.tar.gz
Extract the archive file:
tar -zxvf flexisip-latest.tar.gz
Enter the Flexisip directory:
cd flexisip-latest
Configure and install Flexisip:
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make -j$(nproc)
sudo make install
(Optional) If you plan to use MariaDB or MySQL with Flexisip, install the corresponding package:
sudo swupd bundle-add devpkg-mariadb-connector-c devpkg-mysql-connector-c
You can also install both packages if needed.
(Optional) If you installed MariaDB or MySQL in the previous step, you need to create a database and a user for Flexisip. Here is an example script:
sudo mysql
CREATE DATABASE flexisip;
CREATE USER 'flexisip'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON flexisip.* TO 'flexisip'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;
Replace 'password' with a strong password of your choice. Note that you should use more secure credentials in a production environment.
(Optional) If you plan to use HTTPS with Flexisip, you need to configure a TLS certificate. You can either obtain a trusted certificate from a certificate authority or create a self-signed certificate. Here is an example of how to create a self-signed certificate:
sudo openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout /etc/ssl/private/flexisip.key -out /etc/ssl/certs/flexisip.crt -days 365 -nodes
Follow the instructions and fill in the required fields. Note that you need to replace the file paths with actual paths on your system.
(Optional) If you created a self-signed certificate in the previous step, you need to add it to Flexisip's configuration file. Edit your /usr/local/etc/flexisip-server/flexisip.conf file and add the following lines:
[ssl]
certfile = /etc/ssl/certs/flexisip.crt
keyfile = /etc/ssl/private/flexisip.key
Save the file and exit.
Start Flexisip:
sudo systemctl start flexisip
You can also enable the service to start automatically at boot:
sudo systemctl enable flexisip
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Flexisip on Clear Linux Latest. You can now configure and use the server according to your needs.
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!
