How to Install SIP3 on Ubuntu Server

SIP3 is an open-sourced platform for debugging, troubleshooting, and monitoring real-time communication protocols like SIP, RTP, and WebRTC. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install SIP3 on an Ubuntu Server.

Prerequisites

Before installing SIP3, you should have:

• Ubuntu Server installed.
• A non-root user with sudo privileges.
• Access to the terminal/command-line interface.

Step 1: Update the System

First, make sure that your system package lists are up to date by running the following commands:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

Step 2: Install Docker

SIP3 is deployed in a Docker container, so you need to install Docker before proceeding with the SIP3 installation.

Run the following command to install Docker:

sudo apt install docker.io

After installation is complete, start and enable the Docker service:

sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker

Step 3: Install Docker Compose

Docker Compose is used to deploy multiple Docker containers. You need to install Docker Compose to deploy SIP3.

Run the following command to install Docker Compose:

sudo apt install docker-compose

Step 4: Download SIP3 Image

To download the SIP3 image, use the following Docker command:

docker pull sipcapture/sip3-platform

Step 5: Create SIP3 Directories

To create SIP3 directories, use the following command:

sudo mkdir -p /etc/sip3
sudo mkdir -p /var/sipcapture/sip3

Step 6: Install SIP3

Create a file named docker-compose.yaml in the /etc/sip3/ directory by running the following command:

sudo nano /etc/sip3/docker-compose.yaml

Copy and paste the following contents into the file:

version: '3'

services:
  api:
    image: sipcapture/sip3-api
    container_name: sip3-api
    environment:
      SIP3_API_MONGO_URL: "mongodb://mongo:27017/sipcapture"
      SIP3_API_KAFKA_BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS: "kafka:9092"
    ports:
      - "9999:9999"
    depends_on:
      - mongo
      - kafka

  web:
    image: sipcapture/sip3-web
    container_name: sip3-web
    environment:
      SIP3_WEBSOCKET_ENDPOINT: "ws://127.0.0.1:9999"
    ports:
      - "80:80"

  mongo:
    image: mongo
    container_name: sip3-mongo
    volumes:
      - /var/sipcapture/sip3/mongo:/data/db
    ports:
      - "27017:27017"

  kafka:
    image: wurstmeister/kafka:2.11-2.0.0
    container_name: sip3-kafka
    environment:
      KAFKA_ADVERTISED_HOST_NAME: 127.0.0.1
      KAFKA_ZOOKEEPER_CONNECT: "zookeeper:2181"
      KAFKA_CREATE_TOPICS: "cdr:1:1"
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
    ports:
      - "9092:9092"

  zookeeper:
    image: wurstmeister/zookeeper
    container_name: sip3-zookeeper
    ports:
      - "2181:2181"

Save the file by typing Ctrl+X, then Y, followed by Enter.

Step 7: Start SIP3

To start SIP3, run the following command:

sudo docker-compose -f /etc/sip3/docker-compose.yaml up -d

This command creates and starts the SIP3 Docker containers.

Step 8: Verify SIP3installation

Visit http://<your ubuntu server's IP address> with your web browser. You should see the SIP3 login page.

Conclusion

You have successfully installed SIP3 on your Ubuntu Server. SIP3 is a powerful debugging tool for real-time communication protocols. You can now start monitoring and troubleshooting your communication protocols.

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!
