Kazoo is a powerful platform for building and managing communications applications. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install Kazoo on OpenBSD.
The first step is to install Erlang and RabbitMQ. Kazoo requires these packages to work.
$ doas pkg_add erlang rabbitmq-server
Clone the Kazoo repository from GitHub. We will use this repository to build and install Kazoo.
$ git clone https://github.com/2600hz/kazoo.git
Now that we have downloaded the Kazoo repository, we can build and install it.
$ cd kazoo
$ make setup
$ make dev
This will install all the necessary dependencies and build the application. It might take a while to complete the process.
Kazoo uses configuration files to run. Copy the example configuration files to their respective directories and modify them according to your environment.
$ cp ~/kazoo/applications/kazoo/priv/default/* /etc/kazoo/
Start Kazoo using the sup utility.
$ ~/kazoo/utils/sup/sup
This will start all the necessary services required for Kazoo to work.
To verify that Kazoo is working, open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8000. You should see the Kazoo login page.
You have successfully installed Kazoo on OpenBSD. You can now start building and managing your communications applications using Kazoo.
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!
