SIP3 is an open-source VoIP and WebRTC monitoring and troubleshooting tool that helps network administrators to manage their networks. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing SIP3 on NixOS Latest.
Before installing SIP3 on NixOS, you need to make sure that:
The Nix package manager is a powerful package manager for Linux and other Unix-like systems. It allows you to install packages and their dependencies in a sandboxed environment, which means that it won't conflict with other installed packages.
To install the Nix package manager, run the following command:
$ sudo sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install) --daemon
The installation process will take some time to complete. Wait for it to finish.
Now that you have installed the Nix package manager, the next step is to clone the SIP3 repository from GitHub.
$ git clone https://github.com/sip3io/sip3-core.git
To install SIP3, you need to use the nix-build command. This command will build SIP3 and create a symlink to the resulting binary in the result directory.
$ nix-build https://github.com/sip3io/sip3-core/archive/master.tar.gz -A core
This command will take some time to complete. Once it is done, you should see a symlink to the SIP3 binary in the result/bin directory.
$ ls -l result/bin
To start SIP3, run the following command:
$ ./result/bin/sip3-core run
This command will start SIP3 and display the console output.
Once SIP3 is running, you can access it by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8081. You should see the SIP3 login page.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install SIP3 on NixOS Latest. Now you have access to a powerful VoIP and WebRTC monitoring and troubleshooting tool. Enjoy!
