What is Rocky Linux?

Rocky Linux is an open-source operating system and one of the strongest replacement candidates for CentOS 8. It is a 100% binary-compatible release using the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). Let us see how to migrate CentOS 8 Linux live server to Rocky Linux 8 using a shell script provided by the Rocky Linux project.

Step 1 – Backup CentOS 8

I started the migration process with backup. I do have nightly backups, but before upgrading, I made a snapshot to revert back when something goes wrong. In other words, keep verified backups.

Step 2 – Installing all updates on CentOS 8

Then I log in using the ssh command:
ssh user@cyburdial-php8-app1

Now, all we have to do is use the dnf command to apply all pending updates:
sudo dnf update

Finally, reboot the Linux box using the shutdown command or reboot command:
sudo reboot

Let us verify CentOS Linux 8 version using the cat command or more command/less command:
more /etc/centos-release

Step 3 – Installing git client on CentOS 8

We need git to install the migration script. Is git installed on the server? Let us find out. Execute the type command:
type -a git

Let us search for the git package, Execute:
dnf list git
dnf search git
dnf info git

Now, install git on your server with the help of the dnf utility, Execute:
sudo dnf install git
type -a git

Clone the repo to install migration tool called rocky-tool

Finally, we need to clone the rocky-tools repo with the help of the git command:
cd /tmp/
git clone https://github.com/rocky-linux/rocky-tools.git
Getting ready for Rocky Linux migration

Step 4 – Migrating from CentOS 8 to Rocky Linux

1. Change the directory using cd command where rocky-tools cloned:
   cd /tmp/rocky-tools/migrate2rocky
2. Set up executable permissions using the chmod command:
   chmod -v +x migrate2rocky.sh
3. Start the migration from CentOS 8 to Rocky Linux by typing the migrate2rocky.sh command:
   ./migrate2rocky.sh -r
   
4. Follow on-screen instructions and wait for some time to finish the migration job. At the end you should see:Done, please reboot your system.
   A log of this installation can be found at /var/log/migrate2rocky.log

How to – integrate vTiger 7.3 into Vicidial

This article will go over how to complete a vTiger integration into Vicidial, I have done it and its working on version 7.3. I would like to go a little deeper on this than the original coder wrote up but I will do that over time with pictures and such. I did NOT write this up, this was all done by mstopkey from the vicidial forums.

Credit for this goes to mstopkey from the Vicidial forum: http://www.vicidial.org/VICIDIALforum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=38869&p=145760&hilit=vtiger+integration#p136775

VTIGER INTEGRATION WITH VICIDIAL STEPS

Features Working:
1. Inbound dialer call screen pop existing Lead/Contact/Prospect/Organization in Vtiger. If “Entity” does not exist in Vtiger it will insert new Lead.
2. Inbound dialer call logging in Vtiger.
3. Outbound dialer call functions the same as feature # 1.
4. Outbound dialer call logging in Vtiger.
5. Agent login to Vicidial also launches Vtiger and logs in.
6. Vtiger mobile App sync.
7. Vtiger mobile App click to call from cell phone and logging call in Vtiger.

Features not working:
1. Sync Vicidial users to Vtiger. (Currently, manually setup same username/password in Vtiger and Vicidial. Set Vicidial phone extension in Vtiger user)
2. Click to dial from Vtiger through Vicidial.

Future features:
1. Ability for one instance Vicidial to integrate with mutliple Vtiger instances at dialer Inbound Group and Campaign
2. Call recordings from Vicidial available in Vtiger

Vtiger Integration & Configuration:

1. Install Vtiger Open Source 7.3. Follow the on-screen instructions. (If need click to dial from Vtiger, install on same web server as Vicidial web server) “Feature not working yet”
2. COPY file /vtigercrm/includes/http/Request.php to /vtigercrm/includes/http/Request.php.ORIGINAL, this way you have a backup file to restore incase of any problems editing Request.php
3. Edit file /vtigercrm/includes/http/Request.php . On line 213 comment out “throw new Exception(‘illegal request’);” by placing //in front of it. If you don’t, the login request from Vicidial will fail.
4. Create Vtiger users with same usernames and passwords as in Vicidial. Also enter Vicidial phone extension in user field “CRM Phone extension”.

Vicidial Configuration:
1. Update/Upgrade to the Vicidial version and build listed above. BACK IT UP FIRST!
2. Make sure SVN trunk is up to date.
3. On your vicidial web server, COPY file /srv/www/htdocs/vicidial/vtiger_search.php to /srv/www/htdocs/vicidial/vtiger_search.php.ORIGINAL
4. Edit file /srv/www/htdocs/vicidial/vtiger_search.php (NOTE: Leads are no longer in Sales, they are in Marketing. And, Vtiger no longer uses ‘tabs’, it uses ‘app’ for Module lookups)
(a) Comment out line 339 with # in front of it. $account_URL = “$vtiger_url/index.php?module=Calendar&action=EditView&return_module=Accounts&return_action=DetailView&record=$activityid&activity_mode=Events&return_id=$vendor_id&parenttab=SALES”;

(g) Comment out lines 735 through 738 with # in front of them. (FIRST ACTION OF ELSE WILL NOT WORK. ONLY NEED THE ACTION AFTER ELSE. THIS WILL BE REFINED IN FUTURE)
(h) On line 740 change from $account_URL = “$vtiger_url/index.php?module=Leads&action=EditView&record=$leadid&parenttab=Sales”; TO $account_URL = “$vtiger_url/index.php?module=Leads&view=Detail&record=$leadid&app=MARKETING”; (YES, THIS IS CURRENTLY REDUNDANT LEADS LOOKUP AS LEADS ARE ONLY IN SALES MODULE. WILL FIX IN FUTURE. MAY CUT THIS ONE OUT)
(i) Comment out lines 843 through 846 with # in front of them. (FIRST ACTION OF ELSE WILL NOT WORK. ONLY NEED THE ACTION AFTER ELSE. THIS WILL BE REFINED IN FUTURE)
(j) On line 848 change from $account_URL = “$vtiger_url/index.php?module=Leads&action=DetailView&record=$leadid&parenttab=Sales”; TO $account_URL = “$vtiger_url/index.php?module=Leads&view=Detail&record=$leadid&app=MARKETING”;
5. Go to Vicidial Admin/System Settings

6. Go to detail view of your campaign.
(NOTE 1: These settings are how we are using it. Upon agent login to Vicidial, Vtiger opens in new window and agent is automatically logged in.)
(NOTE 2: Do NOT try to run the old vicidial-vtiger patch files.)
(NOTE 3: Do NOT try to synchronize Vicidial users with Vtiger. We are setting up same usernames and passwords in both systems.)
(a) In field Web Form: enter the URL of your Vicidial web server/vtiger_search.php. Example, http://192.168.1.1/vicidial/vtiger_search.php

How to – Create a call menu/IVR in ViciDial that you can dial an agents extension on

In this article, I will go over the steps you need to take to create an IVR(call menu) where people can call in and dial the agents extension number and reach them or get forwarded to their voicemail. This is going to assume you know how to create and upload the audio files needed for the recording for the Call menu / IVR and that you have a DID pointed to the Call Menu once its created.

Step 1 – Create the call menu

Click on Inbound and then add a new call menu

Step 2 – Fill out the call menu with the options you need

At the bare minimum you need the “Menu Prompt” where you select the audio file you want to be played to callers, the “Menu Timeout”, and the various options in the drop down menus.

Step 3 – Add the custom Dialplan

Here is the code you need to add to the custom dialplan box: (assuming the agent extensions are 4 digits, alter it accordingly)

exten => _XXXX,1,AGI(agi-AGENT_route.agi,default---AGENTDIRECT---ACTIVE)

Step 4 – Change AGENTDIRECT ingroup to work with sending to voicemail if there’s no agents logged in

This step will send calls to the agents voicemail if there is no one logged into the system. Change the No Agents No Queue options to match your needs or as I have it below but the most important thing to change is the Voicemail box settings to “AGENTVMAIL” for this Call Menu / IVR to go to the agents voicemail box that they press during the call menu.

That’s it for this article, if you have any questions feel free to reach out to us in our group chat which has grown rather large from members of the ViciDial forum: https://join.skype.com/ujkQ7i5lV78O

I hope this helps

• cd /usr/src/astguiclient/trunk
• svn up
• perl install.pl (follow the prompts thru to the end)
• On DB server only run this command: mysql -p -f –database=asterisk < /usr/src/astguiclient/trunk/extras/upgrade_2.14.sql

To update your OS for Leap, use “zypper up” and for centos use “yum update”

Please take this seriously.

How to – Fix the firewall on Vicibox10

So there is a major problem with Vicibox10 where the VB-firewall when used, will totally lock you out the system and I finally figured out how to fix the problem. Its rather simple actually and I hope this helps all of you out there that have been wanting to try Asterisk 16 on Vicibox10.

Step 1 – Edit the VB-firewall file

We need to edit the VB-firewall file at /usr/bin/VB-firewall

• nano /usr/bin/VB-firewall
• scroll down until you see $IPBLACK=’blacknets’; # IPSet blacklist IP and change it to $IPBLACK=’dynamiclist’; # IPSet blacklist IP

Step 2 – Run the Vb-firewall with the whitelist and dynamic list

• /usr/bin/VB-firewall –dynamic –white

The first time you run this command you may get an error, make sure to run it again as you see below:

Step 3 – Change the crontab entry to dynamic list and whitelist

### ViciBox integrated firewall, by default just load the VoIP Black list and reload it every 4 hours
### You can lock everyone out of your server if you set this wrong, so understand what you are doing!!!
@reboot /usr/bin/VB-firewall --dynamic --whitelist=ViciWhite
* * * * * /usr/bin/VB-firewall --dynamic --whitelist-ViciWhite

That’s all there is to it. Fell free to join our live chat support on Skype if you have any questions or comments: https://join.skype.com/ujkQ7i5lV78O

Test dahdi

modprobe dahdi

root@vici02:~# /usr/sbin/dahdi_cfg -v

DAHDI Tools Version – 2.11.1-rc1

DAHDI Version: 2.11.1-rc1

Echo Canceller(s):

Configuration

======================

Channel map:

0 channels to configure.

Install Asterisk

cd /usr/src
wget http://download.vicidial.com/beta-apps/asterisk-16.17.0-vici.tar.gz
tar -xvf asterisk-16.17.0-vici.tar.gz
cd asterisk-16.17.0-vici/
./contrib/scripts/install_prereq install 
./bootstrap.sh

This could take time..

./configure –libdir=/usr/lib –with-gsm=internal –enable-opus –enable-srtp –with-ogg=/usr/lib64/ –with-ssl –enable-asteriskssl –with-pjproject-bundled

make && make menuconfig

select app_meetme in Applications(Vicidial Need this for conference)

make install && make samples && make basic-pbx

Step 4 – WebRTC Extra steps(IF YOU DONT NEED WEBRTC SKIP BELOW STEPS)

Note: Since WebRTC need SSL i am using my Public Domain to Generate SSL from Let’s Encrypt.
How to Generate SSL: Link here

sample http.conf

cat /etc/asterisk/http.conf
[general]
enabled=yes
bindaddr=0.0.0.0
bindport=8088
enablestatic=yes
tlsenable=yes
tlsbindaddr=YOURPUBLICIP:8089

(replace cyburdial.com with your domain)

tlscertfile=/etc/letsencrypt/live/cyburdial/fullchain.pem
tlsprivatekey=/etc/letsencrypt/live/cyburdial/privkey.pem

Install VICIDIAL from Source:
cd /usr/src
mkdir astguiclient/
cd astguiclient/
svn checkout svn://svn.eflo.net/agc_2-X/trunk
cd trunk/
MySQL setup for VICIDIAL:

Step 5 – Create Database

mysql
SET GLOBAL connect_timeout=60;
CREATE DATABASE `asterisk` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci;
CREATE USER 'cron'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '1234';
GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE,LOCK TABLES on asterisk.* TO cron@'%' IDENTIFIED BY '1234';
CREATE USER 'custom'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'custom1234';
GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE,LOCK TABLES on asterisk.* TO custom@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'custom1234';
GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE,LOCK TABLES on asterisk.* TO cron@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '1234';
GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE,LOCK TABLES on asterisk.* TO custom@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'custom1234';
GRANT RELOAD ON *.* TO cron@'%';
GRANT RELOAD ON *.* TO cron@localhost;
GRANT RELOAD ON *.* TO custom@'%';
GRANT RELOAD ON *.* TO custom@localhost;
flush privileges;
use asterisk;
\. /usr/src/astguiclient/trunk/extras/MySQL_AST_CREATE_tables.sql
\. /usr/src/astguiclient/trunk/extras/first_server_install.sql
ALTER TABLE phones ALTER template_id SET DEFAULT '';
quit

Load the initial database

cd /usr/src/astguiclient/trunk/extras
mysql -uroot -p asterisk < MySQL_AST_CREATE_tables.sql

Load First instalation setup database

mysql -uroot -p asterisk < first_server_install.sql

Load sample sip and iax phones(this contain default user pass, carefull when you installing in vpc)

mysql -uroot -p asterisk < sip-iax_phones.sql

Do back to root Directory of vicidial

cd ..
perl install.pl

Follow the setup with appropriate value.

Configiguration example

Populate ISO country codes

cd /usr/src/astguiclient/trunk/bin
perl ADMIN_area_code_populate.pl

update the Server IP with latest IP address.(VICIDIAL DEFAULT IP IS 10.10.10.15)

perl /usr/src/astguiclient/trunk/bin/ADMIN_update_server_ip.pl –old-server_ip=10.10.10.15

How to – install a webphone/viciphone on your Vicidial server

UPDATED: Oct. 10th 2023

I’ve been having a bunch of people ask me to write up an article for installing the Viciphone which I never did before because Viciphone.com has some really great instructions already. But I will create this post with picture and alternative Viciphones for you guys to use. There is also an easier method by using my auto installer on my GitHub at this link: https://github.com/carpenox/vicidial-install-scripts. This will complete all the steps below for CentOS, Alma, Rocky or Ubuntu based systems. Leap or ViciBox users will still have to follow the commands below:

Step 1 – Create the SSL certificate to use for your server and viciphone

This is a pretty easy process using certbot which uses letsencrypt. the first thing you have to do is setup your FQDN(Fully qualified domain name) to point to your server. For this demonstration I will show you with namecheap.com registrar services. You want to add an A record as shown below:

This you need to run the following command for certbot:

• certbot certonly –webroot

You’re output should look as it does below:

Step 2 – Install the SSL certificate in Apache

• cd /etc/apache
• nano ssl-global.conf
• scroll down until you see these two lines and change them to point to your certificate and uncomment the SSLCertificateFIle and SSLCertificateKeyFile as show below:

• cd vhosts.d/
• nano 1111-default-ssl.conf
• Edit this file if you have installed using the Vicibox iso, if this is a scratch install you can skip this step.

Step 3 – Install the SSL certificate in Asterisk

• cd /etc/asterisk/
• nano http.conf
• enter the following information as shown below:

[general]
enabled=yes
bindaddr=0.0.0.0
bindport=8088
enablestatic=yes
tlsenable=yes
tlsbindaddr=0.0.0.0:8089
tlscertfile=/etc/letsencrypt/live/cyburdial.com/cert.pem
tlsprivatekey=/etc/letsencrypt/live/cyburdial.com/privkey.pem

• service apache restart
• service asterisk restart
• run this command to make sure the ports are now open and running: ss -ltnu

Go into Aterisk with “asterisk -r” to verify it and type the command: http show status

Step 4 – Install Viciphone 3 or you can try my version of the Viciphone which I call CyburPhone

I will provide two githubs of which you can choose which version you want to use. The first one is by Mike from Viciphone.com of whom I have the utmost respect for his work on the Viciphone to improve it and update to sip.js-0.20. His link is:

https://github.com/vicimikec/ViciPhone

To use this you need to go into your root web directory and then git cloning by running the following commands:

• cd /srv/www/htdocs for Leap or cd /var/www/html for CentOS, Alma or Rocky
• git clone https://github.com/ccabrerar/ViciPhone.git

Or if you prefer to use my version which looks like this:

You can go to my github at:

https://github.com/carpenox/CyburPhone

You should already be in the web directory at this point but to use my webrtc phone clone it with this command:

• git clone https://github.com/carpenox/CyburPhone.git

Now that you’ve downloaded the webrtc phone you’ve decided to use, you need to set the proper permissions for it, for this article I will demonstrate on my version

• chmod -R 777 CyburPhone/
• chown -R wwwrun:www CyburPhone/ – Leap
• chown -R apache:apache CyburPhone – CentOS, Alma and Rocky

You would do the same thing for the Viciphone by just replacing CyburPhone with ViciPhone

Thats it for the phone installation, now to set what you need in the Vicidial GUI

Step 4 – Setting the webphone in Vicidial

Go into Admin > system settings and scroll down near the bottom:

Step 5 – Setting the Web Socket URL on the server

Go to admin > servers > your server

Step 6 – Creating the webrtc template

Go to admin > templates and create a new template

Enter the folllwing into the template and change the domain to yours:

type=friend
host=dynamic
encryption=yes
avpf=yes
icesupport=yes
directmedia=no
transport=wss
force_avp=yes
dtlsenable=yes
dtlsverify=no
dtlscertfile=/etc/letsencrypt/live/cyburdial.com/cert.pem
dtlsprivatekey=/etc/letsencrypt/live/cyburdial.com/privkey.pem
dtlssetup=actpass
rtcp_mux=yes

Thats all there is to it, now you are all set to use webrtc technology and do away with annoying softphone configurations and reps always complaining about their phone not registering, lol. I hope this article has helped and if you have any problems, feel free to stop by our live support channel on skype or post a comment here: https://join.skype.com/ujkQ7i5lV78O

I hope this helps

How to – Scratch install the dynportal on CentOs, Rocky, or Alma Linux

This article will go over the steps to Scratch install the dynportal on a scratch CentOs, Rocky or Alma Linux Vicidial box that normally comes with the ISO. I have created the files you need and host them on one of my sites for download.

Step 1 – Download the necessary files

You will need 4 files to get this working on your server that you can download below

yum install -y firewalld
cd /home
wget https://dialer.one/dynportal.zip
wget https://dialer.one/firewall.zip
wget https://dialer.one/aggregate
wget https://dialer.one/VB-firewall

Step 2 – Move and unzip the files

You can copy and paste the following

• mkdir -p /var/www/vhosts/dynportal
• mv /home/dynportal.zip /var/www/vhosts/dynportal/
• mv /home/firewall.zip /etc/firewalld/
• cd /var/www/vhosts/dynportal/
• unzip dynportal.zip
• cd etc/httpd/conf.d/
• mv viciportal-ssl.conf viciportal.conf /etc/httpd/conf.d/
• cd /etc/firewalld/
• unzip -o firewall.zip
• mv /home/aggregate /usr/bin/
• chmod +x /usr/bin/aggregate
• mv /home/VB-firewall /usr/bin/
• chmod +x /usr/bin/VB-firewall

Step 3 – Add your SSL cert to dynportal-ssl.conf and location for redirect is defaults.inc.php

You need to edit your dynportal-ssl.conf file in /etc/httpd/conf.d/

nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/viciportal-ssl.conf

change the location to your SSL cert files

nano /var/www/vhosts/dynportal/inc/defaults.inc.php

Step 4 – add entry to crontab

Add the following lines to the bottom of your crontab by typing: crontab -e

### ViciBox integrated firewall, by default just load the VoIP Black list and reload it every 4 hours
### You can lock everyone out of your server if you set this wrong, so understand what you are doing!!!
@reboot /usr/bin/VB-firewall --whitelist=ViciWhite --dynamic --quiet
* * * * * /usr/bin/VB-firewall --whitelist=ViciWhite --dynamic --quiet --flush

Step 5 – Add ports to firewall and apache

Now use firewall-cmd and open port 446 on the firewall for public zone like such:

firewall-offline-cmd --add-port=446/tcp --zone=public --permanent

And edit the apache conf file to add the port to it:

• nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
• Add this line: Listen 446

Step 6 – Restart services

• service firewalld restart
• service httpd restart
• systemctl enable firewalld

That’s it, now go to http://yourdomain.com:446/valid8.php and you should see the following:
