ASTPP (A Smart TelePhony Platform) is an open-source VoIP billing solution that enables telecom companies to manage their business effectively. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install ASTPP on Elementary OS, the latest version of this Linux-based operating system.
Before you start with the installation, make sure you have the following:
The first step is to install the required dependencies for the ASTPP installation. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3 python3-setuptools python3-dev python3-pip python3-psycopg2 python3-mysqldb python3-cffi libffi-dev libssl-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libjpeg-dev libtiff-dev libyaml-dev libldap2-dev libsasl2-dev libldap2-dev libssl-dev swig memcached nginx fail2ban rabbitmq-server supervisor
Now, we need to download the ASTPP billing software from the official download link provided on the ASTPP website. Open the terminal and run the following commands to download and install ASTPP:
cd /tmp
wget https://github.com/iNextrix/ASTPP/archive/refs/tags/4.0.1.tar.gz
tar zxvf 4.0.1.tar.gz
cd ASTPP-4.0.1
sudo python3 setup.py install
After the installation is complete, we need to configure ASTPP to work with our server. The first thing we need to configure is the database. Open the terminal and run the following commands:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Enter your MySQL root password and create a database and user for ASTPP:
create database astppdb;
create user astppuser@localhost identified by 'your-password';
grant all privileges on astppdb.* to astppuser@localhost identified by 'your-password';
flush privileges;
exit;
Next, we need to configure the ASTPP settings. Run the following commands to create a configuration file:
cp /etc/astpp/astpp.cfg-sample /etc/astpp/astpp.cfg
sudo nano /etc/astpp/astpp.cfg
Edit the following settings in the configuration file:
[database]
db_name = astppdb
db_user = astppuser
db_pass = your-password
websocket_pass = your-password
After completing the configuration, we need to start the ASTPP service and related services. Run the following commands in the terminal:
sudo systemctl start astpp
sudo systemctl start astpp-nginx
sudo systemctl start astpp-fail2ban
sudo systemctl start astpp-supervisord
sudo systemctl start astpp-rabbitmq
sudo systemctl enable astpp
sudo systemctl enable astpp-nginx
sudo systemctl enable astpp-fail2ban
sudo systemctl enable astpp-supervisord
sudo systemctl enable astpp-rabbitmq
After starting the services, we need to verify the installation. Open your web browser and enter the server IP address or hostname followed by /astpp. For example, http://192.0.2.1/astpp.
You should see the ASTPP login page in your web browser. Enter the username and password you used during the installation process, and you should be able to access the ASTPP dashboard.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed ASTPP on Elementary OS Latest. You can now configure it to meet your requirements and start managing your VoIP billing.
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!
