openSIPS is a fast and flexible open-source SIP server that can handle high traffic loads. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install openSIPS on Debian latest using apt-get.
Before starting the installation, you need to have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to ensure that the system is up-to-date and upgraded to the latest packages. Run the following command in the terminal to update the system:
sudo apt-get update
After the update is complete, upgrade the system by running the following command:
sudo apt-get upgrade
openSIPS requires some dependencies to be installed on the system for it to work properly. Install the necessary dependencies by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install build-essential openssl libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libxml2-dev libpcre3-dev mysql-server mysql-client mysql-common libmysqlclient-dev git
Next, you need to clone the openSIPS repository to your local system using git. Run the following command in the terminal:
git clone https://github.com/OpenSIPS/opensips.git
This command will clone the openSIPS repository to your system.
After cloning the repository, move to the directory where the repository is cloned by running the following command:
cd opensips
Next, run the following commands to build and install openSIPS:
make all
sudo make install
After installing openSIPS, you need to configure it for your use case. Before you start configuring, make a backup of the default configuration file:
cd /usr/local/etc/opensips
sudo cp opensips.cfg opensips.cfg.bak
Now, you can edit the configuration file and set it up according to your requirements:
sudo nano opensips.cfg
The configuration file is well documented, and you can refer to the official documentation for more information: https://opensips.org/docs/.
After configuring openSIPS, you can start the service by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start opensips
To verify that openSIPS is running, check its status by running the following command:
sudo systemctl status opensips
If everything is configured correctly, openSIPS should be up and running as expected.
In this tutorial, we have covered the steps to install openSIPS on Debian latest using apt-get. Now, you can use openSIPS to handle SIP traffic and handle high volume loads on your system.
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!
