How to Install Flexisip on Fedora Server Latest

Flexisip is an open-source SIP server intended to provide SIP Proxy and Registrar services for federated VoIP networks. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install Flexisip on Fedora Server Latest.

Prerequisites

Before starting with the installation process, make sure your Fedora server has the following:

• Root privileges or a user with sudo privileges.
• A stable internet connection.
• Basic knowledge of Linux command-line.

Step 1 - Installing Necessary Packages

Open your terminal and update the packages using the following command:

sudo dnf update 

Once the packages are updated, install the required dependencies for Flexisip as follows:

sudo dnf install -y make cmake gcc-c++ libmicrohttpd-devel libcurl-devel openssl-devel libconfig-devel libdb-devel libyaml-devel jansson-devel libglib2.0-devel libboost-devel

Step 2 - Downloading and installing Flexisip

Run the following command to clone the latest Flexisip repository from Github:

git clone https://github.com/BelledonneCommunications/flexisip.git

Navigate to the cloned Flexisip directory and create a new build directory:

cd flexisip/
mkdir build && cd build

Next, run the following command to generate the makefiles for Flexisip:

cmake ..

Once the makefiles are generated successfully, run the following command to compile the source code:

make -j$(nproc)

You should see a successful build completion message, and it should take some time.

Finally, run the following command to install Flexisip:

sudo make install

Step 3 - Configuring Flexisip

In this step, we will configure Flexisip to start automatically on system boot, create required directories, and generate configuration files for Flexisip.

Create the directory for the configuration files:

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/flexisip

Enable Flexisip to start automatically on system boot:

sudo systemctl enable flexisip

Next, create the Flexisip configuration file:

sudo vim /usr/local/etc/flexisip/flexisip.conf

Add the following lines to the configuration file:

[Flexisip]
ListenAddress=0.0.0.0
ListenPort=5061
AdminListenAddress=0.0.0.0
AdminListenPort=8080
LogFile=/var/log/flexisip/flexisip.log
LogLevel=verbose
PidFile=/var/run/flexisip/flexisip.pid

[Registrar]
# ...

[OutboundProxy]
# ...

Make sure to set appropriate values according to your requirements.

Create the log directory for Flexisip:

sudo mkdir -p /var/log/flexisip
sudo chown $USER:$USER /var/log/flexisip

Create the PID directory for Flexisip:

sudo mkdir -p /var/run/flexisip
sudo chown $USER:$USER /var/run/flexisip

Step 4 - Start and Verify Flexisip

Start the Flexisip service using the following command:

sudo systemctl start flexisip

Next, verify the Flexisip status using the following command:

sudo systemctl status flexisip

If the service started successfully, you should see a "active (running)" message in the output.
