This is an Ansible playbook for automatic installation of Asterisk PBX on Ubuntu. I use Asterisk LTS (v18) and Ubuntu Server LTS (v22.04), but I'm pretty sure it's possible to install another version of Asterisk with little to no changes using this playbook.
To install Asterisk on your Ubuntu server using this playbook, you need to:
- install Ansible (
brew install ansibleon macOS,apt install ansibleon Ubuntu. Please check docs if you're using Windows — or just install Ansible into WSL) - update variables (Asterisk version, number of CPU cores, etc.) in
playbook.yamlif you need it - add the IP addresses of your servers to
inventory.yaml - install Ansible "community.general" collection:
ansible-galaxy collection install community.general - run playbook this way:
ansible-playbook playbook.yaml -i inventory.yaml
Once it's done, you'll have Asterisk PBX, Fail2Ban and FreePBX installed on your server.
If you don't need Fail2Ban or FreePBX, you can comment out the corresponding roles in playbook.yaml.
