Installation Steps

Allow ports in the firewall

To start the firewall on CentOS (if it isn't started already), execute the following commands:  

To allow the ports on CentOS firewall, you can execute the following commands. (Run on both machines in case of HA). 

Installation Steps

1. Please make sure that Solution Prerequisites are met for the desired deployment type. 

2. Download the deployment script deployment.sh and place it in the user home or any desired directory. This script will:

   1. delete the recording-solution directory if it exists.

   2. clone the required files for deployment

3. To execute the script, give it the execute permissions and execute it. 

   $ chmod 755 deployment.sh $ ./deployment.sh

   
   
   

4. Change to newly created directory with name recording-solution. This directory contains all the required files.

5. Navigate to /root/recording-solution/docker/ and update the core-recorder image tag to gitlab.expertflow.com:9242/voice-recording-solution/core-recorder:13.2.1 save and exit.

6. Run SQL script in MySQL to create database and tables.  (recording-solution/db_schema.sql).

7. Update environment variables  in the following files inside /root/recording-solution/docker/environment_variables folder.

   1. 
      
      

      
      
      

   
   
   

8. (HA Only) Having environment configurations done, copy the recording-solution directory on VM2 in/root directory using the following command.

   # scp -r /root/recording-solution root@<vm-ip>:/root/

   
   
   

9. Execute the following commands inside /root/recording-solution directory. 

   # chmod 755 install.sh # ./install.sh

   
   
   

   
   
   

10. Run the following command to ensure that all the components are up and running. 

    # docker ps

    This will show services status as shown below image 

11.  (HA Only) Now go to VM2, update LOCAL_MACHINE_IP  variable to VM2 IP in root/recording/solution/docker/environment variables/recorder-environment.env file  and run below command inside /root/recording-solution to start recorder and activemq services. The two activemq services on VM1 and VM2 will now act as master/slave to provide HA. The two recorder services on VM1 and VM2 will be configured in Cisco Call Manager (CUCM) to provide HA.  

    # chmod 755 install.sh # ./install.sh

    
    
    

12. (HA Only) The directory "/root/recording-solution/recordings/wav"  should also be mounted on network shared file system on both VMs or they should be synchronized with each other . In this way, all services on two VMs will have a shared directory for recording files reading or writing. Follow next step if network shared and synchronized folder is not provided

13. (HA Only) Recording folder synchronization, follow below steps;

    1. Install lyncd utility on one machine, run below commands. 

       root@host # yum -y install epel-release root@host # yum -y install lsyncd

       
       
       

    2. Generate SSH Keys on same. Run below command to generate a key. Use default by pressing enter every time it prompts 

       root@host # ssh-keygen -t rsa

       
       
       
       

    3. Transfer the SSH key to the other other machine by running below commands, enter other machine root password when prompted 

       ssh-copy-id root@other-machine-ip

       
       
       

    4. 
       
       

       vi ~/.ssh/config

       enter below text in config file, replace the Hostname with other machine IP

       Host dest_host Hostname 172.16.144.32 User root IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa

       
       
       

       
       
       

       
       
       

    5. 
       
       

       settings { logfile = "/var/log/lsyncd/lsyncd.log", statusFile = "/var/log/lsyncd/lsyncd-status.log", statusInterval = 1 } sync { default.rsync, source="/root/recording-solution/recordings", target="192.168.1.125:/root/recording-solution/recordings", delete = false, rsync={ compress = true, acls = true, verbose = true, owner = true, group = true, perms = true, rsh = "/usr/bin/ssh -p 22 -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no"} }

       
       
       

    6. Follow above steps for the other machine
       
       
       

14. (HA Only) Repeat the following steps on both machines.

    1. Download keepalived.sh script and place it in any directory.

    2. Give execute permission and execute the script. This will create a keep-alived directory.

       
       
       

    3. Configure keep.env file inside keep-alived directory

       
       
       

    4. Give the execute permission and execute the script:
