Browser Phone

A fully featured browser based WebRTC SIP phone for Asterisk

Description

This web application is designed to work with Asterisk PBX. Once loaded application will connect to Asterisk PBX on its web socket, and register an extension. Calls are made between contacts, and a full call detail is saved. Audio Calls can be recorded. Video Calls can be recorded, and can be saved with 5 different recording layouts and 3 different quality settings. This application does not use any cloud systems or services, and is designed to be stand-alone. Additional libraries will be downloaded at run time (but can also be saved to the web server for a complete off-line solution).

Browser Phone v4.0

[!IMPORTANT] The Browser Phone project version 4.0 will be developed under Siperb (https://www.siperb.com/). Siperb is already hosted and offers a mobile version, and the necessary SIP proxy to connect to your PBX. Siperb offers much more, including: Hosting, Provisioning, Transcoding (from DTLS to regular RTP), and a complete history of calls and conversations. Try it out: https://www.siperb.com/phone/.

[!WARNING] Siperb Browser Phone is in beta phase, but we are moving fast to become the best WebRTC Browser Phone on the market.

[!NOTE] We are looking for Beta testers for Siperb. Please see here: https://www.siperb.com/kb/article/welcome-to-the-siperb-beta-program/

Docker

Browser Phone now offers a Dockerfile. It is by far "The easiest way to kick the tires on WebRTC". It comes fully configured with 3 users, and the SSL certificate needed to run your tests. It may take a while to build, but it's literally a 1, 2, 3 process.

Preparing the SD Card with Raspbian

Flash the you SD card using the Raspberry Pi Imager from https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/.

Write a blank text file named ssh (no extension) to the boot directory of the SD card. On Mac use:

sudo nano /Voumes/boot/ssh

and on Windows, you can just use Notepad and save it as: D:/ssh

Insert the SD Card into your Raspberry Pi, connect a Network Cable and boot up.

Connect to the raspberry pi over the network using Terminal (on Mac), or Putty (on Windows), as:

ssh pi@raspberrypi.local

The default password for raspberry pi is: raspberry

Initial Setup

You have to be root, so:

$ sudo su

Issue and update:

# apt-get update

Install a few essential applications:

# apt-get install samba ntp git

Configure Samba

Add pi username to samba

# smbpasswd -a pi

Edit the smb.conf file and add share:

# nano /etc/samba/smb.conf

Add the following at the bottom of the file

[InnovateAsterisk]
path = /
browseable = yes
writeable = yes
read only = no
create mask = 0755
directory mask = 0755
guest ok = no
security = user
write list = pi
force user = root

Restart samba service:

# service smbd restart

exit su:

# exit

Create a Certificate Authority

Note: The following steps will make both a CA certificate and a server certificate. The CA certificate will be self-signed, so you will need to copy that to your PC, and install (add) it to your Trust root CA certificate store.

Create some folders:

$ mkdir /home/pi/ca
$ mkdir /home/pi/certs
$ mkdir /home/pi/csr

Create a Root CA Key:

$ openssl genrsa -des3 -out /home/pi/ca/InnovateAsterisk-Root-CA.key 4096

(Remember the password you used) Create Root Certificate Authority Certificate:

$ openssl req -x509 -new -nodes -key /home/pi/ca/InnovateAsterisk-Root-CA.key -sha256 -days 3650 -out /home/pi/ca/InnovateAsterisk-Root-CA.crt

Something like this should be fine:

Country Name (2 letter code) [AU]: GB
State or Province Name (full name) [Some-State]: None
Locality Name (eg, city) []: None
Organization Name (eg, company) [Internet Widgits Pty Ltd]: Innovate Asterisk
Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []: www.innovateasterisk.com
Common Name (e.g. server FQDN or YOUR name) []: Innovate Asterisk Root CA
Email Address []: youremailgoes@here

Generate Certificate Signing Request & Private Key:

$ openssl req -new -sha256 -nodes -out /home/pi/csr/raspberrypi.csr -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout /home/pi/certs/raspberrypi.key

Generate SSL V3 file:

$ nano /home/pi/csr/openssl-v3.cnf

And populate with:

authorityKeyIdentifier=keyid,issuer
basicConstraints=CA:FALSE
keyUsage = digitalSignature, nonRepudiation, keyEncipherment, dataEncipherment
subjectAltName = @alt_names

[alt_names]
DNS.1 = raspberrypi.local

Generate Server Certificate:

$ openssl x509 -req -in /home/pi/csr/raspberrypi.csr -CA /home/pi/ca/InnovateAsterisk-Root-CA.crt -CAkey /home/pi/ca/InnovateAsterisk-Root-CA.key -CAcreateserial -out /home/pi/certs/raspberrypi.crt -days 365 -sha256 -extfile /home/pi/csr/openssl-v3.cnf

Generate PEM Combo Certificate:

$ cat /home/pi/certs/raspberrypi.crt /home/pi/certs/raspberrypi.key > /home/pi/certs/raspberrypi.pem

Set Permission to Key:

$ chmod a+r /home/pi/certs/raspberrypi.key

Install Asterisk from Source Code

Change to root:

$ sudo su

Install Opus dev files:

# apt-get install xmlstarlet libopus-dev libopusfile-dev

Exit root:

# exit

Wget the Asterisk source:

Note: chan_sip works fine on Asterisk 13, but chan_pjsip is rather broken. If you are using chan_pjsip, rather use Asterisk 16+, the guide is exactly the same. If you are on an x86 server, you can enable opus in make menuselect, or download it from the github project, otherwise take the opus codec out of the allow= section of the endpoint.

$ wget http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/asterisk-13-current.tar.gz
or
$ wget http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/asterisk-16-current.tar.gz

Untar the download:

$ tar -xvf asterisk-[tab]

Change to Asterisk folder

$ cd aster[tab]

Going to install again, so go back to root:

$ sudo su

Install the prerequisites:

# contrib/scripts/install_prereq install

Configure Asterisk:

# ./configure --with-pjproject-bundled

Enter menuselect, and turn off CDR, CEL, and change MOH to WAV:

# make menuselect

Call make

# make

Install the built code:

# make install

Configure Asterisk to start automatically:

# make config

Exit root:

# exit

Configure Asterisk with Github files

Note: this section assumes you are following this guide and don't have any existing configurations in place. If you do, simply open the config files described below, and copy out the settings that you need.

Return to home folder:

$ cd ~

Clone the git project:

$ git clone https://github.com/InnovateAsterisk/Browser-Phone.git

Copy the config files:

$ sudo cp /home/pi/Browser-Phone/config/* /etc/asterisk/

Clear the existing files in static-http:

$ sudo rm /var/lib/asterisk/static-http/*

Copy the web pages:

Note: You can skip this step and simply use the hosted pages at: https://www.innovateasterisk.com/phone/ (contains a welcome screen). This page uses a Let's Encrypt Certificate, but you will still need to have a secure connection to your Asterisk box.

$ sudo cp -r /home/pi/Browser-Phone/Phone/* /var/lib/asterisk/static-http/

Set the file permissions:

$ sudo chmod 744 /var/lib/asterisk/static-http/*

Setup /etc/asterisk/http.conf with the following:

[general]
enabled=no ; HTTP
tlsenable=yes ; HTTPS
tlsbindaddr=0.0.0.0:443
tlscertfile=/home/pi/certs/raspberrypi.crt
tlsprivatekey=/home/pi/certs/raspberrypi.key
enablestatic=yes
sessionlimit=1000
redirect=/ /static/index.html

Note: If you are running asterisk as root (as this guide does), then you can specify port 443, if you are running as asterisk or something else, you will need to specify a port greater than 1024. You can test that this works by going to https://raspberrypi.local/httpstatus but in order to see this page, you have to download that Root CA certificate that you made earlier to your own PC. To install: On Mac, just double click it, then again double click the certificate, and select Trust Always. On windows you will need to Import it to the Certificate Manager. (If you are using Firefox Browser, you have to again install it to the Firefox Trusted Root certificates.)

Copy the Opus codec to modules:

$ sudo cp /home/pi/Browser-Phone/modules/ast-13/codec_opus_arm.so /usr/lib/asterisk/modules
or
$ sudo cp /home/pi/Browser-Phone/modules/ast-16/codec_opus_arm.so /usr/lib/asterisk/modules

Note: Asterisk 16 will check that the checksum of the .so files in modules folder matches the id gerenated at make menuselect, so you need to update the checksum in codec_opus_arm.so:

$ nano /home/pi/asterisk-16.*.0/include/asterisk/buildopts.h
Take note of the AST_BUILDOPT_SUM (copy the value)
$ sudo sed -i 's/1fb7f5c06d7a2052e38d021b3d8ca151/<value of AST_BUILDOPT_SUM>/g' /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/codec_opus_arm.so

Restart Asterisk and check the modules loaded:

$ sudo service asterisk restart
$ sudo asterisk -r
> [tab]
> exit

chan_sip or chan_pjsip?

The browser phone is compatible with both chan_sip and chan_pjsip. Follow the guide that suits your development. You will not be able to use both chan_sip and chan_pjsip in the same installation.

Note: As of writing, Asterisk 13 chan_pjsip always invites a call with m=video in the SDP (if the endpoint has any video codec) no matter what the SDP of the original inviting call has, this means that all calls appear as video calls and the "Answer with video" appears for both audio and video calls. I'm yet to find a solution.

chan_sip

Configure sip.conf

Open the original /etc/asterisk/sip.conf file and make the following changes:

websocket_enabled=yes
