FusionPBX is a web-based user interface that allows easy management of VoIP servers. It is an open-source project and can be installed on various Linux distributions.
In this tutorial, we will discuss how to install FusionPBX on MXLinux Latest.
Before starting, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
First, update the system packages by running the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
Now, install the required packages for FusionPBX by running the following command:
sudo apt install -y mariadb-server mariadb-client nginx git php-fpm uuid-runtime libgsm1-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libpcre3-dev libspeexdsp-dev libssl-dev libmariadbclient-dev liblua5.2-dev libopus-dev libsndfile1-dev libsqlite3-dev libspandsp-dev libspeexdsp-dev libtiff-dev sox
This command will install MariaDB server and client, Nginx, Git, PHP, and several other supporting packages.
FusionPBX requires a MariaDB database to store its data. Use the following commands to create a new database, user and grant the necessary privileges.
sudo mysql -u root
In the MariaDB console, create a new database and user by using the following commands.
CREATE DATABASE fusionpbx;
CREATE USER fusionpbx@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON fusionpbx.* TO fusionpbx@localhost;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit
Replace 'password' with a strong password of your choice.
Clone the FusionPBX repository from GitHub by running the following command.
sudo git clone https://github.com/fusionpbx/fusionpbx.git /usr/local/www/fusionpbx
Change the ownership of the FusionPBX directory to the Nginx user.
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /usr/local/www/fusionpbx
Change the directory to the FusionPBX directory.
cd /usr/local/www/fusionpbx
Install the FusionPBX by running the following command.
sudo ./install.sh
To configure Nginx, create a new file in the '/etc/nginx/sites-available/' directory with the following content.
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/fusionpbx
server {
listen 80;
server_name fusionpbx.example.com;
root /usr/local/www/fusionpbx;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
client_max_body_size 100M;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.1-fpm.sock;
}
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
}
Save and close the file.
Create a symlink to the '/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/' directory to enable the site.
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/fusionpbx /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
Restart the Nginx service.
sudo systemctl restart nginx
Open your web browser and enter your server's IP address or domain name with 'http://' prefix in the address bar.
You will be asked to enter a few pieces of information, such as the database username, password and other information required for the installation process.
Once the installation is complete, you can log in to the FusionPBX web interface by using the following URL.
http://your-server-ip-or-domain-name
Congratulations! You have successfully installed FusionPBX on MXLinux Latest. You can now start using it to manage your VoIP server.
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!
