Prerequisite Knowledge for Linux

To deploy Cloud CX on Linux, you need to have some knowledge and skills of the Linux operating system, and here are some Linux infrastructures and popular Linux distributions that will be used.

  • Debian Buster 10, Debian Bullseye 11

  • Ubuntu 20.04 (LTS) Focal, Ubuntu Impish 21.10, Ubuntu 22.04 (LTS) Jammy

  • Docker 20.10 or higher.

  • IPv4/IPv6

  • Systemd

  • IP tables

  • Firewalld

  • HTTP

It only supports 64-bit OS.

This document assumes that the Linux OS is already deployed and administrators of Cloud CX have been granted root permission to Linux.

Cloud and Virtualization Environment Supported

To build a high-availability communication solution to help clients reduce cost and improve communication performance, Cloud CX commits support to cloud services and has confirmed compatibility with the following cloud and virtualized environments:

  • VMware ESX 5.X and above.

  • Microsoft HyperV 2016 R2 and above

  • Amazon AWS

  • ALI Cloud

  • Google Could

  • Microsoft AZURE

  • Digital Ocean

System Performance Depends On the Following Key Factors

  • Maximum simultaneous chat needed for CX

  • Maximum online agents needed for CX

  • Conversations & Files record storage

  • Maximum Flows(Bot) on CX

  • Maximum Chat Queues on CX

Depending on the key features listed above, Cloud CX is able to run on PCs and servers with various CPUs ranging from Intel i5 CPUs to Xeon.

Other Requirements

  • Latest Firefox, Google Chrome, Edge browser

  • Knowledge of Linux and Linux Internet administration

  • Ensure server date time is synced correctly.

FQDN Support

Although Cloud CX is designed to be able to run on servers without FQDN specified, we recommend specifying FQDN with the following advantages:

  • Easier access to Web Portal for Cloud CX

  • Easier management of clients after IP address change for CX

  • Convenient access to HTTPS when accessing Web Portal

  • Avoid browser warnings when accessing the WebRTC Client

The FQDN you are using must be able to be resolved correctly into the server with Cloud CX installed in LAN. If Cloud CX is installed on the public network, FQDN must be resolved correctly into the public network address for the server with CX installed.

1. Prepare the TLS certificate

When there is a need for additional security of the conversation traffic for Web (HTTPS) sessions, the Transport Layer Security (TLS) is used to secure the client's conversation connections. In TLS protocol, the data is encrypted and protected. TLS communication requires a certificate to authenticate the recipient of the secured data.

...

Important: Please confirm the Certificate is a full-Chain certificate, otherwise some third-party platforms such as WhatsApp will reject the verification request. After the server is initialized, you can test the certificate integrity through the following test sites:

For example: https://www.sslchecker.com/sslchecker
