Wazo is a free and open-source web-based phone system that integrates with a range of communication tools such as video conferencing, instant messaging, and email. In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the steps of installing Wazo on Fedora Server Latest.
Before we proceed, make sure you have the following:
It's always best practice to update your system before installing any new packages. Run the following commands to update the system:
sudo dnf update
Wazo requires some dependencies that must be installed before we proceed. Run the following commands:
sudo dnf install epel-release
sudo dnf install unzip curl wget
sudo dnf install python3 python3-setuptools python3-pip mariadb mariadb-server mariadb-devel
sudo systemctl enable mariadb
sudo systemctl start mariadb
The next step is to add the Wazo repository to your system. Run the following command:
sudo dnf install https://mirror.wazo.community/fedora/wazo-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
Once the repository is installed, update your system once more:
sudo dnf update
Now that we have the Wazo repository installed, we can proceed to install Wazo itself:
sudo dnf install wazo-platform
The installation process can take a few minutes. Once the process is complete, run the following command to start Wazo services:
sudo systemctl start wazo
You can check the status of the service by running:
sudo systemctl status wazo -l
Before you can start using Wazo, there are a few configurations you need to make.
First, you need to create a database for Wazo. Run the following commands to create a new database:
sudo mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE wazo;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wazo.* TO 'wazo'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
Replace yourpassword with your preferred database password.
Wazo runs on port 8080, so you need to add a firewall rule to allow incoming traffic on that port. Run the following commands:
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=8080/tcp
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
Once you have completed the configurations, open your web browser and go to http://your_ip_address:8080. Replace your_ip_address with your server's IP address.
You should now have access to your Wazo web interface. Login with the following credentials:
Username: admin
Password: admin
Make sure to change the password for security reasons.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Wazo on Fedora Server Latest. With Wazo, you can integrate multiple communication tools such as video conferencing, instant messaging, and email into one platform. It's a great option for businesses or individuals who need a communication system that's flexible, reliable, and easy to use.
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!
