Flexisip is a SIP server used for enabling real-time communication services such as voice and video calls over the internet. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Flexisip on the Elementary OS latest operating system.
Before we begin, ensure that:
To install Flexisip on your operating system, ensure that you have the required dependencies installed. To do that, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install -y git make cmake build-essential pkg-config libssl-dev libglib2.0-dev libopus-dev libogg-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libunbound-dev libjansson-dev libzrtpcpp-dev libsofia-sip-ua-dev libxml2-dev libsqlite3-dev libpq-dev libbctoolbox-dev libzmq3-dev libmysqlclient-dev
Next, you need to clone the Flexisip repository. Move to the directory where you want to clone the repository and run the following command:
git clone https://gitlab.linphone.org/BC/public/flexisip.git
Once you have cloned the Flexisip repository, navigate to the flexisip directory and run the following commands to build and install it:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make && sudo make install
After installing Flexisip on Elementary OS, you need to configure it to work as per your requirements. You can find the configuration files under the /usr/local/etc/flexisip/ directory.
You can configure various aspects of Flexisip through the configuration files such as the SIP domain, registrar, and user database, and external interfaces using the REST API.
In this tutorial, we learned how to install Flexisip on the Elementary OS operating system. Flexisip is an open-source SIP server used for real-time communication services. Once Flexisip is installed, you can configure it by editing the relevant configuration files.
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!
