Debian 9 Stretch (Obsolete)
About
FreeSWITCH project has been moved to GitHub: https://github.com/signalwire/freeswitch
Please open new issues in: https://github.com/signalwire/freeswitch/issues
Debian 10 “Buster" is now officially supported by FreeSWITCH™ .
Dependencies are available from FreeSWITCH repository via the "apt-get build-dep freeswitch" command.
Debian 10 "Buster" is the reference platform for FreeSWITCH™ as of version 1.10 and is STRONGLY recommended for all applications due to its stability and broad support for the system libraries needed by FreeSWITCH.
Breaking change in FreeSWITCH 1.10
From FreeSWITCH 1.10, pgsql is not in core (mod_commands ?), but in mod_pgsql.
You MUST NOT load mod_pgsql in modules.conf.xml , but in pre_load_modules.conf.xml , an additional XML file also in conf/autoload_configs/ directory.
pre_load_modules.conf.xml
<configuration name="pre_load_modules.conf" description="Modules">
<modules>
<!-- Databases -->
<!-- <load module="mod_mariadb"/> -->
<load module="mod_pgsql"/>
</modules>
</configuration>

Easy Way
Installing From Debian Packages
Latest Release Branch:
Release package
apt-get update && apt-get install -y gnupg2 wget
wget -O - https://files.freeswitch.org/repo/deb/debian-release/fsstretch-archive-keyring.asc | apt-key add -
echo "deb http://files.freeswitch.org/repo/deb/debian-release/ stretch main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/freeswitch.list
echo "deb-src http://files.freeswitch.org/repo/deb/debian-release/ stretch main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/freeswitch.list
# you may want to populate /etc/freeswitch at this point.
# if /etc/freeswitch does not exist, the standard vanilla configuration is deployed
apt-get update && apt-get install -y freeswitch-meta-all
FreeSWITCH™ is now installed and can be accessed with
FreeSwitch CLI
fs_cli -rRS
Master Branch ("git"):
WARNING not suitable for production
Master Test Package
wget -O - https://files.freeswitch.org/repo/deb/debian-unstable/freeswitch_archive_g0.pub | apt-key add -
echo "deb http://files.freeswitch.org/repo/deb/debian-unstable/ stretch main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/freeswitch.list
echo "deb-src http://files.freeswitch.org/repo/deb/debian-unstable/ stretch main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/freeswitch.list
# you may want to populate /etc/freeswitch at this point.
# if /etc/freeswitch does not exist, the standard vanilla configuration is deployed
apt-get update && apt-get install -y freeswitch-meta-all
Building Debian Packages From Master Branch
WARNING not suitable for production
The master branch depends on different libraries which are not available as packages in Debian distribution, but are available from FreeSWITCH repository. Thus, you will need internet access to the FreeSWITCH DEB repository.
Build your own .deb Master package
wget -O - https://files.freeswitch.org/repo/deb/debian-unstable/freeswitch_archive_g0.pub | apt-key add -
echo "deb http://files.freeswitch.org/repo/deb/debian-unstable/ stretch main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/freeswitch.list
echo "deb-src http://files.freeswitch.org/repo/deb/debian-unstable/ stretch main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/freeswitch.list
apt-get update && apt-get install -y xz-utils devscripts cowbuilder git screen
# nonstandard packages from freeswitch repo are not trusted by pbuilder !!
echo "ALLOWUNTRUSTED=yes" >> /etc/pbuilderrc
# get the latest master. Use the -b flag to get a specific branch
mkdir /usr/src/freeswitch-debs
git clone https://github.com/signalwire/freeswitch.git /usr/src/freeswitch-debs/freeswitch
cd /usr/src/freeswitch-debs
# here it's good to run screen with logging, so that you can detach from the shell prompt
screen -L
cd freeswitch
./debian/util.sh build-all -aamd64 -cstretch
# here you can detach by Ctrl-a Ctrl-d and see the log files in /usr/src/freeswitch-debs/log/ folder.
# The build may last about an hour, depending on your CPU speed.
# If the build is successful, you will have a bunch of .deb files in /usr/src/freeswitch-debs

Building From Source
Compiling Release Branch (production)
Release source build

cd /usr/src/
git clone https://github.com/signalwire/freeswitch.git -bv1.10 freeswitch
cd freeswitch
# Because we're in a branch that will go through many rebases, it's

Before Starting FreeSWITCH
If you built FreeSWITCH™ from source code you should set file permissions and ownership before starting FreeSWITCH. Follow the post-installation instructions.

| https://freeswitch.org/jira/browse/FS-10863For now, you can compile from source code or build your own packages locally. You will have to determine the dependencies yourself until they develop them for release. Posted by boteman at Feb 01, 2018 01:48 |
| After updating the target file to the current release of "libssl1.0.0_1.0.1t-1+deb8u7_amd64.deb" on a fresh Debian 9 system, apt complainsThe following packages have unmet dependencies: libssl1.0.0:amd64 : Depends: libc6:amd64 (>= 2.14) but it is not installableE: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.I figured it wouldn't work, but gave it a try to work around this for now.

| I have a question which is related to g729.Do I need to pay for using mod_g729 in FS?Because I see G.729 have expired , please ref to: https://www.mgraves.org/2017/03/its-official-the-patents-on-g-729-have-expired/ Posted by hpsony94 at Sep 27, 2018 02:05 |
| no, mod_g729 does not require payment... however it's only a passthrough codec... you can only pass G729 calls through your FreeSWITCH, you cannot transcode, or other use G729 as a codec on your endpoints... if you need or want G729 enabled as a codec for your endpoints, you need to purchase the commercial module "mod_com_g729" to do that... you can purchase it here.... https://freeswitch.com/index.php/modules-more/ Posted by joshebosh at Oct 12, 2018 11:58 |
| I'm having core dumps in my call handling scenarios since i moved to debian 9 + FS Version 1.8.2 -3-a98a958ac3 64bit.I need to put the debug symbols on so that the coredump can be interpreted.However :Installing the stable release with debian package procedure doesn't put the debug symbols on.Installing the stable release with sources + compilation procedure (witch i beleive from the Debugger guidelines should put the debug symbols on) ends up in FS Version 1.8.2 git a98a958 being installed.Is there a simple way to have latest stable release installed with the debug symbols on ?
