Installing Routr on Fedora Server Latest

In this tutorial, we will install Routr on Fedora Server Latest. Routr is an open-source SIP server and Softswitch for VoIP communications.

Prerequisites

Before we begin with the installation process, make sure you have the following:

  • A VPS or a dedicated server running Fedora Server Latest
  • Root or sudo access to the server
  • Access to a secure shell (SSH) client, such as OpenSSH or PuTTY

Step 1: Update the system

The first step is to update the system package repositories using the following command:

sudo dnf update -y

This will update the system packages to the latest version.

Step 2: Install Docker

Next, install Docker on the server using the following command:

sudo dnf install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io -y

This will install the Docker packages on the system.

Step 3: Start and enable Docker

Start the Docker service and enable it to start at boot using the following commands:

sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker

This will start the Docker service and enable it to start automatically at boot.

Step 4: Install Routr

Routr provides a Docker image that contains all the necessary dependencies and software for the SIP server. We will use Docker to install Routr on the server.

Run the following command to download and install the Routr Docker image:

sudo docker run -d -p 4567:4567 jsbrunton/routr:latest

This will download and install Routr on the server.

Step 5: Verify Routr installation

To verify that Routr is installed and running, run the following command:

sudo docker ps

This will show you a list of running Docker containers on the server. You should see the Routr container listed with its container ID, image, and other details.

Step 6: Access the Routr web interface

Open a web browser on your local machine and navigate to http://<server-ip>:4567. Replace <server-ip> with the IP address of the Fedora Server. This will open the Routr web interface, where you can configure the SIP server and manage calls.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Routr on Fedora Server Latest. Routr is ready to use and can process VoIP communications using SIP.
