About
Debian 8 "Jessie" is the reference platform for
FreeSWITCH™ as of version 1.6 and is STRONGLY recommended for all applications due to its stability and broad support for the system libraries needed by FreeSWITCH.
2016.02.14 — Please note this important change that went into Master today. As of today, we are no longer using system versions of libyuv and libvpx due to major conflicts with system versions of these libraries. These are now built static into the freeswitch core. Also note, mod_vpx no longer exists, it is automatically loaded as part of the core and you will no longer have mod_vpx.so nor have to load it manually. I'll have more details coming, but let me know if you have any questions.
Please note for anyone doing cross compiling, this probably means a bit more work for you, I'll be working on fixing that this week.

What's the different between freeswitch-meta-all and freeswitch-all package ?
Ken Rice
nothing really, -meta-all points is effectively an alias for -all
-all installs pretty much everything
livem Chan
thanks~

Above line is breaking my "apt-get update" functionality with below errors, as its using SHA1 algo, instead of SHA256.
Error -1:
W: GPG error: http://files.freeswitch.org/repo/ubuntu-1604/freeswitch-unstable xenial InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 018DDB2EF14D5181

Then i added the key into gpg with below command

So I installed verto with no errors, and it's running on my secure site. Can anyone please tell me how to get a secure web socket (wss) connection? Netstat shows my server is listening on wss port 8082 but connection is rfefused both firefox & chrome, and I did restart fs many times, nginx too.
The port is open in my firewall so i am stuck on what to try next.

Going to research on using SIP TLS and not use wss to see if I can connect

Looks like you are trying to connect Verto Communicator to mod_sofia's WSS.... you need to setup mod_verto....

I think these parts in the Master and Release source build sections are over the top!
You really shouldn't tell people to change their global config...
I'd put it like that

Hi Folks,
i have install free switch successfully and i'm trying to implement HA as well, but i want to know how to stop free-switch being automatically start.
Antonio
hi,
after install, the default wss.pem gives error, so to test verto communicator with a custom certificate (i think this info is around here) if testing in local without a public domain to use lets encrypt:
mkdir /root/ssl
cd /root/ssl
openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout key.pem -x509 -days 365 -out certificate.pem
#TIP: put in common name the ip address, so when testing you only have the warning for invalid
cat key.pem certificate.pem > /usr/local/freeswitch/certs/wss.pem
#enable or replace in nginx ssl options for /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
ssl_certificate /root/ssl/certificate.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /root/ssl/key.pem;
#vc into www,
cp -a /usr/src/freeswitch/html5/verto/verto_communicator/dist/* /var/www/html/
hope it helps others
