Build your own Server on-prem or in the Cloud

You can also roll your own server on-prem or in the cloud. We support any modern RHEL or AlmaLinux distribution.

It's just 2 commands! 🚀

bash
# From a fresh install of AlmaLinux 9.4 (our recommended distribution)
# Configure the appliance
sudo curl https://get.calltelemetry.com | sudo sh -s -- build-appliance
# Reconnect your SSH from port 22 to port 2222.
# Install the Call Telemetry application
sudo curl https://get.calltelemetry.com | sudo sh -s -- update
# Access the Web Portal on HTTPS port 443 and create a login.

TIP

What's behind those installer commands? - Our CLI script for get.calltelemetry.com is open source.

Downloading and executing the prep script to build the appliance...
(lots of output)
IMPORTANT - After this next step you must access the appliance on port 2222 - NOT PORT 22.
The SSH management port must changed to 2222. Applying this change will disconnect your SSH session. Do you want to apply this change and restart the SSH service? (yes/no): yes
# Appliance disconnects to move SSH Port to 2222

Install the Application

After the reboot, the appliance is ready to install the Call Telemetry Docker Application. This will download the latest stable version and launch the containers.

bash
sudo curl https://get.calltelemetry.com | sudo sh -s -- update

Accessing the SSH Management Console

Port 22 is dedicated for SFTP only, no user can login to it.

To access the normal SSH Management of the box use port 2222.

Access the Web Portal

At this point, you can access teh Web Portal on port 443, and create a login. The appliance is ready to go.

Final setup

You may want to review the OVA Guide for more information on security and air gapped deployments. At this point, you can follow the Appliance Documentation now.
