freepbx-raspberrypi.zip648kB The included script (install) and archive (install.tar.gz) will build FreePBX 15, 16, or 17 plus Asterisk 18, 20, 21, 22, or 23 on a Raspberry Pi. iptables, dnsmasq, and exim4 are also installed. Installation takes approximately 15 minutes to complete on a Raspberry Pi 5. Download the latest Raspberry Pi OS Lite image (32-bit/64-bit Bullseye/Bookworm/Trixie). Write the image to an 8 GB or larger SD card. To accomplish this, I recommend Etcher or imageUSB: https://etcher.io/ or http://osforensics.com/downloads/imageusb.zip Create an empty file named ssh in the BOOT partition. Create a text file named userconf in the BOOT partition containing the following: pi:$6$c70VpvPsVNCG0YR5$l5vWWLsLko9Kj65gcQ8qvMkuOoRkEagI90qi3F/Y7rm8eNYZHW8CY6BOIKwMH7a3YYzZYL90zf304cAHLFaZE0 Connect the Raspberry Pi to your LAN using an Ethernet cable. Insert the SD card and power up the Raspberry Pi. Copy install and install.tar.gz to the /home/pi directory. To accomplish this, I recommend WinSCP: https://winscp.net/eng/download.php Using an SSH client, log in using pi:raspberry. To accomplish this, I recommend PuTTY: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html Make the install script executable: $ chmod +x install Run the install script: $ sudo ./install When prompted: Set pi user password Set root user password Select FreePBX version Select Asterisk version Answer Edge option Answer IPv6 option (‘No’ recommended) Review selections Set Hostname (Item 2 / N1 - Hostname: FreePBX) Set Localisation Options - Locale (Item 4 / I1) Set Localisation Options - Timezone (Item 4 / I2 - in US, use America, not US) Expand Filesystem (Item 7 / A1) Finish / Reboot Now: No The Raspberry Pi will reboot. Log in as root. If desired, enable PuTTY logging when prompted. The system will be updated and then reboot. Log in as root. If desired, enable PuTTY logging when prompted. Confirm install. Installation will proceed unattended and then reboot. Log in as root. Installation will complete. A number of utility scripts are included in /root. GVSIP To use Google Voice SIP trunks, Asterisk 18, 20, 21 or 22 MUST be used. Configure FreePBX settings as follows: Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Dialplan and Operational SIP Channel Driver = both Settings -> Asterisk SIP Settings -> General SIP Settings tab -> Media Transport Settings STUN Server Address = stun.l.google.com:19302 Settings -> Asterisk SIP Settings -> Chan PJSIP Settings tab -> tls tls - 0.0.0.0 - All = Yes Settings -> Asterisk SIP Settings -> Chan PJSIP Settings tab -> 0.0.0.0 (udp) Port to Listen On = 5060 Settings -> Asterisk SIP Settings -> Chan PJSIP Settings tab -> 0.0.0.0 (tls) Port to Listen On = 5061 Settings -> Asterisk SIP Settings -> Chan SIP Settings tab -> Advanced General Settings Bind Port = 5160 Settings -> Asterisk SIP Settings -> Chan SIP Settings tab -> Advanced General Settings TLS Bind Port = 5161 If any changes are necessary, reboot after all changes have been submitted/applied and recheck everything. Running: asterisk -rx “module show like pj” should display around 49 loaded modules with all but around 3 of them displaying a status of “Running”. Install Certificate Manager module (if not already installed). Run: mv /root/obihai.* /etc/asterisk/keys/ Run: chown asterisk:asterisk /etc/asterisk/keys/obihai* Click: Admin -> Certificate Management -> Import Locally Settings -> Asterisk SIP Settings -> Chan PJSIP Settings tab -> TLS/SSL/SRTP Settings Certificate Manager = obihai Settings -> Asterisk SIP Settings -> Chan PJSIP Settings tab -> TLS/SSL/SRTP Settings SSL Method = tlsv1_2 Configure gvsip.dat for your Google Voice account(s). If you have more than one Google Voice account, copy the five [gvsip1] sections to [gvsip2], [gvsip3], etc. Then edit each of the five [gvsipN] groups as follows: Change (3 places): NNNNNNNNNN to {10-digit Google Voice number} Update: refresh_token={Google Voice Refresh Token} oauth_clientid={Google Voice Client ID} oauth_secret={Google Voice Client Secret} contact_header_params=obn={Google Voice SIP Name} Upon completion, copy gvsip.dat to /etc/asterisk/pjsip_custom_post.conf: cp gvsip.dat /etc/asterisk/pjsip_custom_post.conf For each Google Voice account, create a Custom Trunk as follows: Connectivity -> Trunks -> Add Trunk -> Add Custom Trunk - General tab Outbound CallerID = <+{10-digit Google Voice number}+> Connectivity -> Trunks -> Add Trunk -> Add Custom Trunk - General tab CID Options = Force Trunk CID Connectivity -> Trunks -> Add Trunk -> Add Custom Trunk - custom Settings tab Custom Dial String = PJSIP/+$OUTNUM$@gvsipN (Replace ‘gvsipN’ with the [gvsipN] group number from gvsip.dat) Edit /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf and ensure the following section exists with the values shown: [system_default_sect] MinProtocol = TLSv1.2 CipherString = DEFAULT@SECLEVEL=1 Upon completion of GVSIP configuration, run: fwconsole restart HylaFAX fax server Execute install-fax: ./install-fax Execute add-fax-extension: ./add-fax-extension Multiple fax exntsions may be added to support simultaneous sending and/or receiving of faxes. SendFax SendFax is a program to send a fax file from Windows to a HylaFAX fax server. No installation is required and no changes are made to your system. Supported file tpyes are pdf, ps, tif, and tiff. A cover page can be generated and prepended to outgoing faxes. Leaving ‘File to Send’ empty will send only a cover page. To configure, click Edit -> Options: IP Address: (the IP address of your HylaFAX server) Port Number: (the port number of your HylaFax server, normally 4559) Username: (your username on your HylaFAX server, normally root) Password: (your password on your HylaFAX server, normally blank) Email Address: (the email address to deliver notifications to) Notifications: (notification types to be sent) Page Chop: (which pages to chop trailing whitespace from) Threshold: (minimum trailing whitespace (in.) before chopping is used) Modem: (which modem to use for outgoing faxes, normally blank) Cover Folder: (folder to save cover page information in)

I’m trying to use this guide as a framework for manually adding a GV trunk to and existing FreePBX install. I’ve extracted a refresh token for gvsip.dat using the provisioning tool in the arrynrob Obi200 firmware.

I am stuck on values for:

oauth_clientid={Google Voice Client ID}
oauth_secret={Google Voice Client Secret}
contact_header_params=obn={Google Voice SIP Name}

From the rest of the provisioning response, I can decode id_token to get an azp/aud, <blahblah>.apps.googleusercontent.com, would that be used for the oauth_clientid?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi
Just for testing, I have inserted always the same password for user and root, and defined the Hostname: FreePBX and local as Europe - London.
When I try to login as FreePBX, the password is not accepted; The same hapens with root.
I’ve done this twice, so it can’t be a question of wrong password.
Can someone give me some hint on what I’m doing wrong ?

The password you set for user ‘pi’ and user ‘root’ during the initial install are for Linux SSH logins.

There is no username ‘FreePBX’ to log in as. When you access FreePBX the first time from a browser after installation, you will set up a password for FreePBX user ‘admin’.

I’m sorry, but I have followed all the steps:
"Set pi user password
Set root user password
…
Finish / Reboot Now: No

The Raspberry Pi will reboot.

Log in as root."
I try to log in using Putty or with WinSCP, but this is where the password I’ve written above for the users root or pi is not recognized.

Have you tried a really simple password (like ‘password’) to see if it works?

In over 10 years, I’ve never had a password problem reported.

beirolas

The reason was that I was using numbers at the end of the password. Removed the numbers and no more password problems.
