Asterisk from source

2008-10-16T22:43:17Z

Eongaro: added debian dependencies

==General==
Asterisk is free and open source code to create software PBX server. See http://www.asterisk.org/ for details. The package runs perfectly inside an OpenVZ [[container]]. Some users run up to 60 containers with Asterisk deployed for production per single [[hardware node]]. Although the easiest way to install Asterisk into a container is to use pre-build package from Linux distribution, occasionally one may need to have a possibility to build it from source tarball available on developer's site.

In order to do so the following remarks are worth reading.

== Building Asterisk in a [[CT]] ==
Asterisk PBX server itself is compiled out of the shelf in a [[container]] provided that development tools are installed. The functionality of the resulting executable is enough to support simple VoIP telephony.
=== Debian Dependencies ===
<pre>apt-get install build-essential libncurses-dev</pre>
=== Compiling ===
<pre>
wget http://downloads.digium.com/pub/asterisk/releases/asterisk-x.x.xx.tar.gz
tar xzf asterisk-x.x.xx.tar.gz
cd asterisk-x.x.xx
./configure
make
make install
make samples
</pre>

The last command is not needed in case you have your own configuration as it installs some sample configuration files.
To configure Asterisk itself see, for example, http://downloads.oreilly.com/books/9780596510480.pdf.

=== MeetMe problem ===
Unfortunately, one particular module called MeetMe (conferencing tool) will be switched off from compilation. This happens due to external dependency on 'zaptel' package. Zaptel provides support for some hardware cards for FXO/FXS analog telephony marketed by Digium (the company behind Asterisk), and on top of that supplies so called <code>ztdummy</code> kernel module. Ztdummy works like a simple metronome which is required to synchronize multiple sound streams in case of conference call.

If you do not plan to use analog telephone lines, hence don't like in install the hardware, nothing is lost provided you run your HN with 2.6.XX kernel. You just need to play a little trick with Asterisk make system: download zaptel tarball from the same location as Asterisk itself, and copy it's header zaptel.h to location /usr/include/zaptel/zaptel.h in CT where you plan to build Asterisk. This tweaks MeetMe for installation.

== HN configuration ==
Finally you need to make sure that on [[HN]] ztdummy kernel module is loaded and the access to <code>/dev/zap/pseudo</code> device file is granted to the container:
<pre>
modprobe ztdummy
vzctl set 240 --devnodes zap/pseudo:rw --save
</pre>

VPN via the TUN/TAP device

2008-04-10T17:50:43Z

Eongaro: Removed a link to vpnprivacy.com - they were advertising on this page.

This article describes how to use VPN via the TUN/TAP device inside a [[container]].

== Kernel TUN/TAP support ==
OpenVZ supports VPN inside a container via kernel TUN/TAP module and device.
To allow container #101 to use the TUN/TAP device the following should be done:

Make sure the '''tun''' module has been already loaded on the [[hardware node]]:
<pre>
# lsmod | grep tun
</pre>

If it is not there, use the following command to load '''tun''' module:
<pre>
# modprobe tun
</pre>

You can also add it into /etc/modules.conf to make sure it will be loaded on every reboot automatically.

== Granting container an access to TUN/TAP ==
Allow your container to use the tun/tap device:

vzctl set 101 --devices c:10:200:rw --save
vzctl set 101 --capability net_admin:on --save

And create the character device file inside the container:

vzctl exec 101 mkdir -p /dev/net
vzctl exec 101 mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200
vzctl exec 101 chmod 600 /dev/net/tun

== Configuring VPN inside container ==
After the configuration steps above are done it is possible to use VPN software working with TUN/TAP inside
container just like on a usual standalone linux box.

The following software can be used for VPN with TUN/TAP:
* Virtual TUNnel (http://vtun.sourceforge.net)
* OpenVPN (http://openvpn.sourceforge.net)
