How to install Wazo on OpenBSD?

Wazo is an open-source Unified Communication platform that allows users to communicate easily and efficiently. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Wazo on OpenBSD.

Step 1: Update the system

Before starting the installation process, it is always recommended to update the system to the latest packages. To do this, use the following command:

sudo pkg_add -u

Step 2: Install PostgreSQL

Wazo requires a database to be installed on the system. We will use PostgreSQL for this purpose. To install PostgreSQL, use the following command:

sudo pkg_add postgresql-server postgresql-client

Step 3: Initialize the PostgreSQL database

After installing PostgreSQL, we need to initialize the database. To do this, use the following commands:

sudo mkdir -p /var/postgresql/data
sudo chown _postgresql /var/postgresql/data
sudo -u _postgresql initdb -D /var/postgresql/data

Step 4: Start PostgreSQL and set it to run at boot

To start PostgreSQL, use the following command:

sudo rcctl start postgresql

To set PostgreSQL to run at boot, use the following command:

sudo rcctl enable postgresql

Step 5: Install Wazo

To install Wazo, we will use the "wazo-release" package, which contains the Wazo repository configuration. Use the following command to install it:

sudo pkg_add https://github.com/wazo-platform/wazo-release/releases/download/latest/wazo-release-15.17_1_all.tbz

After installing the package, update the package index:

sudo pkg_add -u

Finally, install Wazo using the following command:

sudo pkg_add wazo-full

Step 6: Start Wazo services and set them to run at boot

To start the Wazo services, use the following command:

sudo wazo-service start all

To set the Wazo services to run at boot, use the following command:

sudo wazo-service enable all

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Wazo on your OpenBSD system. You can now start using the Wazo platform to communicate with your team members.

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!
