ASTPP is a powerful open-source billing solution for VoIP businesses. If you are looking to install ASTPP on NetBSD, this tutorial will guide you through the process.
Before proceeding to install ASTPP, make sure your NetBSD system is up-to-date.
pkgin update
ASTPP has several dependencies that need to be installed before the main installation. Use the following command to install dependencies.
pkgin install python37 py37-pip py37-virtualenv gcc curl libxml2 libxslt sqlite3
Next, you need to download the ASTPP source code from the official website.
curl -LJO https://github.com/iNextrix/ASTPP/archive/v4.0.tar.gz
Extract the downloaded file using the following command.
tar -zxvf v4.0.tar.gz
ASTPP needs to be installed in a virtual environment, which will isolate it from the rest of the system. Use the virtualenv tool to create a new virtual environment.
python3 -m venv astpp
After creating the virtual environment, activate it using the following command.
source astpp/bin/activate
Once the virtual environment is activated, you can install ASTPP using pip.
cd ASTPP-4.0
pip install -r requirements.txt
python setup.py install
The next step is to configure ASTPP. First, copy the sample configuration file to the main configuration file.
cd /usr/local/astpp
cp astpp.config.sample astpp.config
Then, edit the configuration file to add your VoIP provider details, database details, and other settings.
nano astpp.config
After configuring ASTPP, start the ASTPP service using the following command.
astpp_start
ASTPP is now installed on your NetBSD system. You can now manage your VoIP business using ASTPP. To update ASTPP, repeat the installation process with the latest version of the ASTPP source code.
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!
