In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Routr on Ubuntu Server. Routr is an open-source SIP Server and is widely used for VoIP and real-time communications. We will install Routr from its official website, routr.io.
Before we start with the installation, make sure that your server is up-to-date and has the latest packages installed.
To run Routr successfully, we need to install some dependencies. Open the terminal and run the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y curl gnupg2
To verify the integrity of Routr’s package, we need to add its official GPG key.
curl -L https://downloads.routr.io/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
Now, let's add Routr’s APT repository to our server.
Create or edit the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/routr.list file using the following command:
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/routr.list
Add the following line to the file:
deb https://downloads.routr.io/debian stable main
Save and close the file by pressing CTRL+X, then Y, and then ENTER.
It's time to install Routr. Run the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y routr
After the installation, you can verify the Routr's version by typing:
sudo routr --version
If you see a version number, then Routr has been successfully installed on your server.
Now, it's time to configure Routr.
The main configuration file for Routr is /etc/routr/routr.conf. You can edit this file according to your requirements.
To start Routr, run the following command:
sudo systemctl start routr
If you want Routr to start automatically on system boot, run the following command:
sudo systemctl enable routr
In this tutorial, we have installed Routr on Ubuntu Server. You can now use Routr for your VoIP and real-time communication needs.
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!
