Kamailio is an open-source SIP server that is used for building scalable and robust communication systems. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Kamailio on Void Linux.
Before starting, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
Before you install Kamailio, you need to install the required packages. To install these packages, run the following commands in the terminal:
xbps-install -S
xbps-install nano make gcc bison flex libxml2-devel openssl-devel ncurses-devel libcurl-devel pcre-devel db-devel
Next, you need to download the latest stable release of Kamailio from the official website. To do so, run the following command:
cd /usr/local/src
wget https://www.kamailio.org/pub/kamailio/5.5.4/src/kamailio-5.5.4_src.tar.gz
After downloading the Kamailio source code, you need to extract and compile it. To do so, follow these steps:
tar -xzvf kamailio-5.5.4_src.tar.gz
cd kamailio-5.5.4
make cfg
make all
make install
Now that you've installed Kamailio, you need to configure it before you can use it. To start, create a configuration file for Kamailio. You can use the following command to create a default configuration file:
cd /usr/local/etc/kamailio
cp kamailio.cfg kamailio.cfg.orig
nano kamailio.cfg
In the configuration file, you can adjust the settings according to your requirements.
After configuring Kamailio, you can start the service using the following command:
kamailio -f /usr/local/etc/kamailio/kamailio.cfg
In this tutorial, we've shown you how to install Kamailio on Void Linux. Now that you have Kamailio up and running, you can use it to build scalable and robust communication systems.
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!
