FusionPBX is an open-source graphical user interface that simplifies the management of FreeSWITCH, an open-source communication software platform. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install FusionPBX on POP! OS Latest.
Before we proceed with the tutorial, you need to ensure that you have the following:
The first step is to ensure that your system is up-to-date. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
The next step is to install the necessary dependencies. Run the following command to install them:
sudo apt-get install -y wget unzip apt-transport-https sofia-sip-bin sofia-sip-set debug symbols freeswitch-meta-all locales-all perl libncurses5-dev libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libjansson-dev libxml2-dev libsqlite3-dev libpq-dev libspeexdsp-dev libldns-dev libedit-dev libaudio-dev liblua5.3-dev libopus-dev libcodec2-dev libsndfile-dev libjack-dev libsndfile1-dev libgdbm-dev libmongodb-dev libidn11-dev libldap2-dev libmysqlclient-dev libcairo2-dev libpcre3-dev
Next, we need to install PostgreSQL. Run the following command to install it:
sudo apt-get install postgresql
Next, we need to create a PostgreSQL user and database for FusionPBX. Run the following command to create a user:
sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE USER fusionpbx WITH PASSWORD 'password';"
Run the following command to create a database:
sudo -u postgres createdb -O fusionpbx fusionpbx
Now that we have installed the necessary dependencies and database, we need to download and install FusionPBX. Run the following command to download it:
cd /usr/src
sudo wget -O fusionpbx.tar.gz https://github.com/fusionpbx/fusionpbx/archive/master.tar.gz
sudo tar xzf fusionpbx.tar.gz
sudo mv fusionpbx-master fusionpbx
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /usr/src/fusionpbx
sudo chmod 755 /usr/src/fusionpbx
Next, we need to install FusionPBX. Run the following command:
cd /usr/src/fusionpbx
sudo ./install.sh
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.
To ensure that the necessary services are accessible, we need to configure the firewall. Run the following commands to enable the necessary ports:
sudo ufw allow 22/tcp
sudo ufw allow 80/tcp
sudo ufw allow 443/tcp
sudo ufw allow 5060/tcp
sudo ufw allow 16384:32768/udp
sudo ufw enable
sudo ufw status
Now that we have installed and configured FusionPBX, we can access it by opening a web browser and navigating to http://<SERVER_IP>/fusionpbx. Enter the username and password that you set during the installation process to log in.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed FusionPBX on POP! OS Latest.
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!
