How to Install FusionPBX on Void Linux

FusionPBX is a powerful and flexible open source software for managing voice over IP (VoIP) telecommunications systems. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install FusionPBX on a Void Linux system.

Prerequisites

Before starting the installation process, you will need the following:

• A Void Linux server or virtual machine with root access
• A working internet connection
• Basic knowledge of the command-line interface (CLI)

Step 1: Update the System

The first step is to update the Void Linux system to the latest version. To do this, run the following commands:

sudo xbps-install -Syu
sudo xbps-install -y wget curl gnupg

The first command will update the system, while the second command will install the necessary tools to proceed with the next steps.

Step 2: Install PostgreSQL

FusionPBX requires a PostgreSQL database to store its data. To install PostgreSQL, run the following command:

sudo xbps-install -y postgresql

Once installed, start the PostgreSQL service and enable it to start automatically at boot time:

sudo ln -s /etc/sv/postgresql /var/service/

Step 3: Install Apache and PHP

FusionPBX also requires Apache web server and PHP. To install both, run the following command:

sudo xbps-install -y apache php

Once installed, start the Apache web server and enable it to start automatically at boot time:

sudo ln -s /etc/sv/apache /var/service/

Step 4: Install FusionPBX

Now that you have all the necessary components installed, it's time to install FusionPBX. Follow these steps:

1. Download the installation script from the FusionPBX website:

   wget -O - https://fusionpbx.googlecode.com/svn/install/4.4/install.sh | sh
   

2. When prompted, enter the following information:

   • PostgreSQL database name: fusionpbx
   • PostgreSQL username: fusionpbx
   • PostgreSQL password: (choose a secure password)
   • FusionPBX domain name: (enter your domain name)
   • FusionPBX administrator username: admin
   • FusionPBX administrator password: (choose a secure password)

3. Wait for the installation process to complete. It may take a few minutes.

Step 5: Access the FusionPBX Web Interface

Once the installation process is complete, access the FusionPBX web interface by opening a web browser and navigating to http://your-server-ip-address/fusionpbx.

Log in with the administrator username and password you entered during the installation process.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed FusionPBX on your Void Linux system. You can now use it to manage your VoIP telecommunications system.

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!
