![]() ![]() The VM instance is set to use DHCP by default. Once the login screen is shown, log in with user root and password sipwise.IMPORTANT: Keep the mode to Bridged Adapter to avoid any NAT on the server side! Use the proper interface suitable for you, wlan0 will most likely not work for you! To change it, click Settings on the top and change it in the Network section, like this: In this case, it shows eth1, where I really want to use wlan0 because this is the interface into my LAN network I use for testing. Once the import is finished, double-check if the network interface is the correct one providing access to the Internet: You will be prompted to import the new VM, which will look similar to this: $ virtualbox sip_provider_CE_2.6_virtualbox.ova Download the Virtualbox VM image of the SPCE from here.If you don’t have Virtualbox 4.x installed yet, download it from here and install it, or upgrade your older version.In our setup, we will use Virtualbox to boot the Virtualbox VM image of the SPCE. This usually works fine with just voice/video communication, but with advanced features like presence, diversity leads to interoperability issues, so the SPCE server is optimized for Jitsi, a Java based multi-platform client providing all the features we require for this tutorial. The good thing about a SIP based system is that you can hook up pretty much every SIP client (IP phone, ISDN adapter, Desktop client, Mobile client) to the SPCE. Like with Skype, your users will need a Client software to leverage the full potential of the server. Note that the SPCE is a 64bit system, so in order to run the VM images, you need to turn on 64bit CPU virtualization in your BIOS if VMware or Virtualbox warns you about it. If you’re new to VoIP and SIP, do NOT try to install it on an Amazon EC2 instance, as they’re using destination NAT, which is a big pain for SIP and needs some experience with the SPCE to tweak it properly for that scenario. If you get more serious, you want to install the system from scratch on a dedicated server with a public static IP. The easiest way to get started with it is to download the VMware or Virtualbox image and fire it up on a suitable machine. The ServerĪs a communication server, we will use sip:provider CE v2.6. The Ingredientsįor our system to work, we need a communication server and a proper client for our end users. The whole process will take around 30 minutes up to an hour for an initial setup, so grab a coffee and clear your head. Once you’re done with that, adding skype-in/skype-out features to receive and place calls from/to the traditional telephony/mobile network is fairly easy, but will be covered in a separate post. In this post, we attempt to build a free, secure, SIP based communication system to provide encrypted voice and video communication, buddy lists, instant messaging, presence and remote desktop sharing/control on a self-hosted system. Since version 2.6 of our sip:provider platform, we got everything in our hands to build a secure and self-hosted Skype-like communication service solely based on open source software. In Part 3 you will learn how to protect existing VoIP deployments with the sip:provider acting as a Session Border Controller (SBC). This is Part 2, describing the process of setting up a Skype-like service using the sip:provider CE. In Part 1 of our series “Build your own VoIP System” we learned about the very basics of how VoIP and SIP in particular works. Build your own VoIP System – Part 2: An open Skype Replacement 05. ![]()
