OpenSIPS is an open-source SIP server that operates on a variety of Linux and BSD distributions. It is designed to provide a scalable and robust SIP server solution for various applications like VoIP, instant messaging, and other real-time communication services. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps required to install OpenSIPS on a Void Linux system.
Before getting started, you must have sudo or root access on your Void Linux system. Additionally, you should ensure that your system has the following packages installed:
gccmakebisonflexlibxml2libxml2-develBefore installing any new packages, it is good practice to update the system to ensure that it has the latest software packages and security updates. Run the following command to update the system:

The first step to installing OpenSIPS is to download it from the OpenSIPS website. Visit the OpenSIPS downloads page at https://opensips.org/downloads/ and select the latest version that matches your system's architecture. In this tutorial, we will download and install version 3.2.0 of OpenSIPS.
Use the following command to download OpenSIPS:
$ wget -c https://opensips.org/pub/opensips/3.2.0/opensips-3.2.0.tar.gz
After downloading OpenSIPS, navigate to the directory where it was downloaded and extract it using the following command:
$ tar xzf opensips-3.2.0.tar.gz
Before compiling and installing OpenSIPS, you must configure it. Navigate to the extracted OpenSIPS directory and run the following command:
$ cd opensips-3.2.0
$ ./configure
This command will configure OpenSIPS with the default settings for your system.
Once OpenSIPS is configured, you can build and install it using the following commands:

$ sudo make install
After installing OpenSIPS, verify that it was installed correctly by running the following command:
$ opensipsctl start
If you do not see any error messages, OpenSIPS is installed and running.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install OpenSIPS on a Void Linux system. By following these steps, you can set up your own scalable and robust SIP server to handle real-time communication services like VoIP and instant messaging.
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!
