Kamailio is an open source SIP server that can handle thousands of calls per second. Kamailio is available for various operating systems, including OpenBSD. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Kamailio on OpenBSD.
Before starting with the installation process, make sure that you have the following:
Follow the steps below to install Kamailio on OpenBSD:
Open the terminal on your OpenBSD instance.
Run the following command to install the necessary packages for Kamailio:
sudo pkg_add kamailio
This will download and install Kamailio and all its dependencies.
Once the installation is complete, navigate to the Kamailio configuration directory:
cd /usr/local/etc/kamailio/
Copy the default Kamailio configuration file and create a new configuration file:
cp kamailio.cfg kamailio.cfg.original
cp kamailio.cfg.example kamailio.cfg
The first command will create a backup of the original configuration file, while the second command will create a new configuration file.
Edit the configuration file:
vi kamailio.cfg
You can use any text editor of your choice to open the configuration file.
Update the configuration file with your SIP settings, such as IP addresses, ports, and routing rules.
Start Kamailio with the following command:
sudo service kamailio start
This will start the Kamailio SIP server.
Verify that Kamailio is running by checking the status:
sudo service kamailio status
You should see the message "kamailio is running as pid XXXX" indicating that Kamailio is running.
You have successfully installed Kamailio on OpenBSD. Now you can start testing and configuring Kamailio to handle your SIP traffic.
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!
