Flexisip is a SIP server developed by Linphone that enables voice and video communication through an IP network. If you are looking to set up a self-hosted SIP infrastructure, Flexisip is a good way to achieve it. In this tutorial, we will guide you on installing Flexisip on MXLinux Latest.
First, let's update the server to get the latest packages and security patches. Open the terminal and enter the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
Flexisip requires a few dependencies to function properly. We need to install them using the following command:
sudo apt install build-essential automake autoconf libtool libssl-dev libglib2.0-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev git -y
Now, let's download and install Flexisip using the following commands:
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/Linphone/flexisip.git
cd flexisip
./autogen.sh && ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/flexisip && make && sudo make install
Before we can start using Flexisip, we need to configure it. Edit the configuration file using the following command:
sudo nano /usr/local/flexisip/etc/flexisip/flexisip.conf
You can customize the configuration based on your requirements. Be sure to set your domain name, IP address, SSL certificate, and other settings.
Finally, let's start the Flexisip service using the following command:
sudo systemctl start flexisip
You can check the status of the service using the following command:
sudo systemctl status flexisip
You have successfully installed Flexisip on MXLinux Latest. You can now configure your SIP clients to use your self-hosted SIP server. If you run into any issues during the installation, refer to the official documentation or seek help from the Linphone 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!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
