FreePBX is an open-source communication software that is used to manage phone calls and other communication services. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install FreePBX on Fedora Server Latest.
Before installing FreePBX, it is recommended to update and upgrade your Fedora Server. Use the following command to update the system:
sudo dnf update
FreePBX requires several dependencies to be installed before the actual installation. Use the following command to install all required dependencies:
sudo dnf install epel-release wget mariadb-server mariadb asterisk asterisk-odbc httpd php php-mysqlnd php-json php-xml php-mbstring php-gd php-process jansson iksemel-devel sqlite-devel expat-devel libxml2-devel libsrtp-devel gmime-devel pjproject-devel
It is recommended to disable SELinux on your Fedora Server to ensure the smoother installation of FreePBX. Use the following command to disable SELinux:
sudo setenforce 0
sudo sed -i 's/SELINUX=enforcing/SELINUX=disabled/g' /etc/selinux/config
Now, we can start installing FreePBX on your Fedora Server. Use the following commands to download and install FreePBX:
cd /usr/src
sudo wget http://mirror.freepbx.org/modules/packages/freepbx/freepbx-15.0-latest.tgz
sudo tar zxvf freepbx-15.0-latest.tgz
cd freepbx
sudo ./start_asterisk.sh
sudo ./install -n
During the installation process, you will be prompted to configure several options. Follow the instructions and configure as per your requirement.
By default, FreePBX runs on TCP port 80 and UDP port 5060. If you have any firewall on your Fedora Server, you need to configure it to allow traffic on these ports. Use the following commands to configure the firewall:
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=http
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=5060/udp
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
Once the installation is complete, you can access the FreePBX web interface by using the IP address or hostname of your Fedora Server. Open a web browser and type the following URL:
http://<IP_address_or_hostname>/admin/config.php
You will be prompted to log in with username admin and the password that you have set during the installation process.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install FreePBX on your Fedora Server. After installation, you can start configuring your communication services and manage your phone systems in a web-based interface. If you encounter any issues during the installation, you can refer to the FreePBX official documentation or seek help from the FreePBX community.
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!
