Wazo is an open source communications platform that provides various features such as PBX, voicemail, fax, and conference calling. If you want to install Wazo on your Clear Linux system, this tutorial will provide step-by-step instructions to help you get started.
Before you start installing Wazo on Clear Linux, please ensure your system meets the following requirements:
To start, ensure that all the installed packages on your Clear Linux system are up to date. You can do that with the following commands:
sudo swupd update
sudo swupd upgrade
Wazo requires a few dependencies to be pre-installed on your system. Use the following command to install the dependencies:
sudo swupd bundle-add python3-basic
sudo swupd bundle-add libssl-dev
sudo swupd bundle-add libjpeg-turbo-dev
sudo swupd bundle-add libxslt-dev
sudo swupd bundle-add libxml2-dev
sudo swupd bundle-add libpq-dev
sudo swupd bundle-add libldap-dev
sudo swupd bundle-add libsasl-dev
Now that your system is up-to-date and has the necessary dependencies, you can download Wazo using the following commands:
sudo dnf install -y epel-release rpm-build nginx dpkg-dev git sqlite-devel
sudo rpm --import https://repo.wazo.community/mirrorlistgpg/mirrorlistgpg.asc
sudo rpm -Uhv https://repo.wazo.community/public/centos/8/RPMS/noarch/wazo-conf-ng-3.0.0-1.noarch.rpm
sudo yum install -y wazo-all
Wazo requires a PostgreSQL database to store its data. You can install the latest version of PostgreSQL from the official website using the following commands:
sudo dnf install -y https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/EL-8-x86_64/pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf module enable -y postgresql:13
sudo dnf install -y postgresql13-server
sudo postgresql-13-setup initdb
sudo systemctl start postgresql-13
sudo systemctl enable postgresql-13
Wazo requires an Apache server to function. You can install Apache using the following command:
sudo dnf install -y httpd
After installing Apache, you need to edit the configuration file to serve Wazo. Use the following commands:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Add the following lines in the httpd.conf file:
LoadModule wsgi_module modules/mod_wsgi.so
WSGIScriptAlias / /opt/wazo/webapp/wazo_ui/wsgi.py
<Directory /opt/wazo/webapp/wazo_ui>
Require all granted
</Directory>
Once all the prerequisites are installed and configured, you can start Wazo using the following command:
sudo systemctl start wazo-amd
To ensure that Wazo starts automatically at boot time, use the following command:
sudo systemctl enable wazo-amd
You have successfully installed and configured Wazo on your Clear Linux system. You can now access the web interface of Wazo by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost. Login using the default username and password are admin and admin.
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!
