In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Flexisip on Debian Latest. Flexisip is a SIP server, developed by Linphone that can handle voice/video calls, instant messaging, and presence features.
Before we start the installation process, it is essential to ensure all the system packages are up-to-date.
To update the package list, run the following command:
sudo apt-get update
The next step is to install the dependencies that are required for the successful installation of Flexisip. Here is the command to install dependencies:
sudo apt-get install -y git build-essential autoconf automake libtool-bin libjpeg-dev libxml2-dev libsqlite3-dev libssl-dev
Now, we have all the required dependencies to build Flexisip. In this step, we will download the Flexisip source code and build it.
To download the source code, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/Linphone/flexisip.git
Now, change the directory to the flexisip folder and run the bootstrap.sh script:
cd flexisip
./bootstrap.sh
Now, we can run the configure script, which is responsible for the configuration of the build environment:
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --with-openssl --enable-ipv6
Next, we will run the make command to build Flexisip:
make
And finally, we can install Flexisip using the make install command:
sudo make install
After installation, we need to configure Flexisip. We need to create the necessary configuration files and add the required information.
To create the flexisip.conf file, run the following command:
sudo cp /usr/etc/flexisip/flexisip.conf.sample /etc/flexisip.conf
Next, to create the flexisip.db file, run the following command:
sudo cp /usr/share/doc/flexisip/flexisip.db.example /var/lib/flexisip/flexisip.db
Now, we need to edit the flexisip.conf file and add the required information:
sudo nano /etc/flexisip.conf
In the [listeners] section, add the following line:
transport=tls
port=5061
cert=/etc/flexisip/tls/linphone.org.bundle.crt
key=/etc/flexisip/tls/linphone.org.key
In the [users] section, add the following lines:
user1@domain.com = mypassword
user2@domain.com = mypassword
Save and close the file.
Finally, we can start Flexisip using the following command:
flexisipctl start
To check the status of Flexisip, run the following command:
flexisipctl status
In this tutorial, we have learned how to install Flexisip on Debian Latest. Now you can use Flexisip to handle voice/video calls, instant messaging, and presence features.
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!
