Yeti-Switch is an open-source VoIP switch designed to handle modern internet telephony deployments. It offers a full-featured management interface and many tools and integrations that make it easy to configure and manage complex communication systems. If you're an OpenSUSE user looking to explore VoIP technology, installing Yeti-Switch is a great place to start. In this tutorial, we will demonstrate how to install Yeti-Switch on OpenSUSE Latest.
To install Yeti-Switch, we need to add the repositories that will allow the OS to download and install the required packages. Add the following repositories to your OpenSUSE server by running the following commands:
zypper ar -f https://packages.yeti-switch.org/opensuse/15.2/ Yeti-Switch
zypper ar -f https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/multimedia:/telephony/openSUSE_Leap_15.2/ multimedia-telephony
The first repository contains the Yeti-Switch packages, and the second repository includes the multimedia packages required to run Yeti-Switch.
After adding the required repositories, we need to install the required dependencies for Yeti-Switch. To do this, run the following command:
zypper in postgresql12 postgresql12-server libpq5 libpqxx-devel libpqxx5 libxml2 openssl libssl1_1 liblua5_3 zeromq
Now that we have the repositories and dependencies set up, we can install Yeti-Switch. Run the following command to install Yeti-Switch:
zypper in yeti-switch yeti-web yeti-pgsql-init
This installation command will install the Yeti-Switch packages along with the Yeti-Web application and the PostgreSQL schema.
Now that we have Yeti-Switch installed on our OpenSUSE server, we need to configure it. First, initialize the PostgreSQL database by running the following command:
systemctl start postgresql-init.service
After initializing the database, start the Yeti-Switch service by running the following command:
systemctl start yeti-switch
By default, Yeti-Switch listens on post 5060. Verify that Yeti-Switch is running by checking the service status:
systemctl status yeti-switch
If Yeti-Switch is running successfully, you should see the output below:
yeti-switch.service - Yeti Switch VoIP Switch
