Kamailio is an open-source SIP server which can be used for building large- scale VoIP platforms. In this tutorial, we will be discussing the steps to install Kamailio on Windows 10.
The latest version of Kamailio can be downloaded from the official website https://www.kamailio.org/w/. Once you have navigated to the website, scroll down to the latest stable version and click on the "Source package" link to download it.
Before installing Kamailio, we need to install some software required for this process:
OpenSSL: We will use OpenSSL to enable Kamailio to handle secure connections. Download the OpenSSL installer from here and install it.
MariaDB: Kamailio stores the data in the MariaDB database. Download the latest version of MariaDB from here and install it.
To install Kamailio, extract the Kamailio source code package that was downloaded in step 1 into a directory of your choice.
Open Windows Command Prompt as an administrator, navigate to the directory where you have extracted the source code, and run the following command:
make PREFIX=\kamailio install
This will install Kamailio in the c:\kamailio directory.
Configuration files for Kamailio are located in the c:\kamailio\etc\kamailio directory.
To configure Kamailio, we need to modify the kamailio.cfg file. Open the file in a text editor and make the necessary changes based on your requirements.
Once you have configured Kamailio, start the Kamailio server by running the following command in the Command Prompt:
c:\kamailio\sbin\kamailio
If there are no errors, Kamailio will start running in the foreground.
To verify Kamailio installation, open a new Command Prompt window and run the following command:
c:\kamailio\sbin\sip-cli
This should open the SIP CLI prompt. Enter the following command to verify that the server is running:
kamcmd sysinfo
This should display the Kamailio system information.
In this tutorial, we have covered the steps required to install Kamailio on Windows 10, configure it, and verify its installation. Kamailio can now be used to build large-scale VoIP platforms.
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!
