Routr is an open-source SIP proxy, location, and presence server built to handle thousands of concurrent SIP calls. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Routr on FreeBSD Latest.
Before you begin, make sure your FreeBSD system is up to date with the latest patches and updates. You can update your system by running the following command:
sudo pkg update && sudo pkg upgrade
To clone the Routr repository from GitHub, you need to have Git installed on your system. If Git is not already installed on your FreeBSD system, run the following command to install it:
sudo pkg install git
Now that Git is installed, you can clone the Routr repository from GitHub by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/fonoster/routr.git
This will create a new directory named "routr" in your current working directory.
Routr is built with Node.js and requires it to run. To install Node.js on your FreeBSD system, run the following command:
sudo pkg install node
Before running Routr, you need to install its dependencies. Change your current working directory to the "routr" directory by running the following command:
cd routr
Then, run the following command to install the dependencies:
npm install
Routr comes with a default configuration file named "config.yaml" located in the "config" directory. You can modify this file to tweak the settings according to your needs. For example, you can change the SIP port or the IP address that Routr listens on.
To start Routr, run the following command:
npm start
This will start Routr and output logs to your terminal. You can press "Ctrl + C" to stop Routr.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Routr on FreeBSD Latest. You can now use Routr to handle SIP calls on your network. If you face any issues during the installation process, feel free to check the official Routr documentation or the GitHub repository.
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!
