How to Install openSIPS on OpenBSD

In this tutorial, we will go through the step-by-step process of installing openSIPS, a high-performance SIP server, on OpenBSD.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

Installation Steps

Follow these steps to install openSIPS on your OpenBSD machine:

Step 1: Update the system

Before installing any new software, it is important to make sure your system is up-to-date. To update the system, log in as the root user and run the following command:

# sysupgrade

Step 2: Install required packages

openSIPS requires several packages to run properly. To install these packages, run the following command:

# pkg_add gmake bison flex openssl

Step 3: Download openSIPS

Download the latest version of openSIPS from the official website using the following command:

# cd /usr/local/src
# ftp -o opensips-src.tgz https://opensips.org/pub/opensips/latest/src/opensips-src-latest.tar.gz

Step 4: Extract openSIPS source files

Once the download is complete, extract the source files using the following command:

# tar zxvf opensips-src.tgz
# cd opensips-*

Step 5: Compile and Install openSIPS

Now it's time to compile and install openSIPS. Run the following command:

# make all

This will compile the openSIPS source code. Once the compilation is complete, run the following command to install openSIPS:

# make install

Step 6: Configure openSIPS

After installation, openSIPS needs to be configured before it can be used. Open the opensips.cfg configuration file located in /usr/local/etc/opensips/ using your favorite text editor:

# vi /usr/local/etc/opensips/opensips.cfg

Here, you can configure openSIPS to meet your specific needs. For example, you can set up users and routes, configure authentication, and enable debugging.

Step 7: Start openSIPS

Once configuration is complete, you can start openSIPS using the following command:

# /usr/local/sbin/opensipsctl start

This will start the openSIPS server.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install openSIPS on OpenBSD. By following these steps, you will have a fully functional openSIPS server that you can use for your SIP communications.
