Fusionpbx API

It's a very early development stage for a FusionPBX API using Laravel.

Server installation

git clone https://github.com/gruz/fusionpbx-api.git /var/www/fusionpbx-api
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/fusionpbx-api
cd /var/www/fusionpbx-api
bin/init_server

Development environment setup (Virtual Box)

Clone project to locahost

Get project files and init submodules (fusionpbx code is neede for api development as well)

git clone git@github.com:gruz/fusionpbx-api.git
cd fusionpbx-api
bin/init_local

Install Virtual Box software and create a Debian virtual machine

• Install Virtual Box. Don't forget to add yourself to vboxusers group and reboot after install.
• Download a Debian iso file and mount in using virtual box. I used amd 64 https://www.debian.org/distrib/netinst#smallcd
• Create a new virtual machine using Debian. Select startup disk your mounted iso.
• Proceed with the install. I choose root password, user name and password as fusionpbx for development purposes. Select only needed software, no need to install DE. So disable Debian desktop environment, do not enable web-server (we don't need apache) and enable ssh server Don't forget to set boot device at the final installation step.
• Set network adapter to Bridged apdapter . You may need to reboot VM to apply new network connection. Thus the VM will be treated as a regular computer in your local network.
• Insert guest additions ISO using VB -> Devices menu
• Create a shared folder pointing to your localhost project folder with remote path /var/www/fusionpbx-api. Ignore possible "Not installed guest additions" message for now.

Run installation script

From your host computer being in project folder copy script file to VB like this

scp bin/init_vb fusionpbx@192.168.0.160:/tmp

Login into debian

In-VirtualBox terminal doesn't allow to use copy/paste. So it's preferable to ssh into the VM from the host machine to use convinient terminal. But first we need to know the VM IP.

There are two ways. Either just hover VM window icon to get the IP or login into debian inside VM and run hostname -I. In my case it's 192.168.0.160

Note! Debian doesn't allow by default to login via ssh as root so we must login as a regular user and the switch to root

Next open termianl at your host machine and ssh fusionpbx@192.168.0.160 where fusionpbx is my VM user and 192.168.0.160 is the IP of the VM. When logged in use su to switch to root user.

Install FusionPBX and API

Login like ssh fusionpbx@192.168.0.160

Switch to root using su command.

Run the init script. It will reboot the VM when done.

/tmp/init_vb

After reboot again login into VB and switch to root ssh fusionpbx@192.168.0.160, su

If everything is ok, then command ls -la /var/www/fusionpbx-api should laravel api project folder, cloned from git (where folders bin, fusionpbx, laravel-api, docs are)

cd /var/www/fusionpbx-api
bin/init_vb_software

When done you should be able to see fusionpbx site at https://192.168.0.160 and API message at https://192.168.0.160:444

Update mail settings

Update .env file with your mail settings

Docker setup (please help)

I didn't manage to create a docker for developemnt after many tries.

So if you wish to help, then offer a docker setup for the project.

Requirements I see:

• Both FusionPBD and this API code can be examined with xdebug
• SIP phone can register at the server
