Set up FreePBX with DigitalOcean

The most widely used graphical administrative and end-user interface is FreePBX. FreePBX makes it easy to use the most common telephony toolkit, Asterisk. Follow the below steps after the FreePBX deployment to use FreePBX with DigitalOcean:

2. Create the administrative login in the first form, so do it as soon as the application is launched.

3. Now we’ve to fill in some setup prompts including language selection, and enabling the firewall. After that, we’ll be having the FreePBX dashboard.

4. Trunks, Extensions, and Inbound/Outbound Routes are configured to offer basic connectivity and call routing.

5. Then we can use the centos user to SSH to the droplet’s IPv4 or IPv6 address or root using the SSH key.

6. We can use the fwconsole command to control FreePBX.

7. After we become root, we can connect to the Asterisk CLI with asterisk -r.

8. Now to enable commercial module access and install the free System Administration module, go to Admin -> Module Admin. Then choose Commercial. Check Online. Finally, choose the System Admin module and select Download and Install.
