FreePBX
This document will be a quick c/p guide to setup asterisk with FreepPBX on Alpine Linux. What we will setup is the following:
- Lighttpd with PHP using FastCGI
- MySQL server
- Freepbx 2.7.0
Install Lighttpd and PHP
Basic Installation
For installing the additional packages first activate community packages and update the package index
Install the required packages:
# apk add lighttpd php82 fcgi php82-cgi
Configure Lighttpd
Edit lighttpd.conf (/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf) and uncomment the line:
Contents of /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
Edit mod_fastcgi.conf (/etc/lighttpd/mod_fastcgi.conf), find and change /usr/bin/php-cgi to /usr/bin/php-cgi82.
Contents of /etc/lighttpd/mod_fastcgi.conf
Start lighttpd service and add it to default runlevel
# rc-service lighttpd start # rc-update add lighttpd default
Install pear DB
apk add php7-pear; pear install DB
MySQL
Follow MariaDB installation and configuration guide to prevent errors during installation. Below is an example of necessary steps, but it won't work before you do following article.
apk add mysql mysql-client
Initiate databases
/usr/bin/mysql_install_db --user=mysql
Start MySQL and add to system start
/etc/init.d/mariadb start && rc-update add mariadb default
Set MySQL root password
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
Asterisk
Install asterisk (replace vserver with your kernel version).
apk add asterisk asterisk-sample-config asterisk-dahdi asterisk-cdr-mysql
Start asterisk (do not add to system start)
/etc/init.d/asterisk start
FreePBX
Download Freepbx
wget http://mirror.freepbx.org/freepbx-2.7.0.tar.gz <-- link not available
Unpack source
tar zxvf freepbx-2.7.0.tar.gz && cd freepbx-2.7.0
Add freepbx databases to MySQL
mysqladmin create asterisk -p mysqladmin create asteriskcdrdb -p
Import SQL data into MySQL
mysql -D asterisk -u root -p < SQL/newinstall.sql mysql -D asteriskcdrdb -u root -p < SQL/cdr_mysql_table.sql
Open connection to MySQL
mysql -u root -p
Create MySQL users
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON asterisk.* TO asteriskuser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'amp109'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON asteriskcdrdb.* TO asteriskuser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'amp109';
Close connection
exit
Freepbx installer does not like busybox sed so we add normal sed, we need to patch 2 files later on so we need patch (you can remove them afterwards)
apk add sed patch
Flash operator panel needs Perl
apk add perl
Start the installer (you can accept the defaults)
./install_amp
Finishing up
Change user/group of lighttpd to asterisk
vim +50 /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
Change permissions of lighttpd/freepbx files
/etc/init.d/lighttpd stop chown -R asterisk:asterisk /var/log/lighttpd chown -R asterisk:asterisk /var/run/lighttpd* chown -R asterisk:asterisk /var/www/localhost/htdocs/freepbx /etc/init.d/lighttpd start
Stop asterisk
/etc/init.d/asterisk stop
Patch FreePBX to support Alpine Linux File:Freepbx engine.patch.txt
cd /var/lib/asterisk/bin patch -p0 < freepbx_engine.patch
This file gets overwritten when using freepbx so we need to patch the original File:Freepbx engine.patch.txt
cd /var/www/localhost/htdocs/freepbx/admin/modules/framework/bin/ patch -p0 freepbx_engine.patch
Start Asterisk with FreePBX
amportal start
Load needed dahdi modules
modprobe dahdi modprobe dahdi_dummy
Make them load on boot
echo dahdi >> /etc/modules echo dahdi_dummy >> /etc/modules
