Compatibility between Enswitch components and Linux distributions

The contents on this page have an informative purpose and are not exhaustive. Updates may be applied as more observations are gathered about compatible and incompatible combinations of Enswitch versions, their components and operating systems.

Enswitch 4.2

Enswitch 4.2 main components

Distribution	Enswitch core	Asterisk	Kamailio	Database server
Ubuntu 24.04	Yes	• Version 13.x: Yes • Version 16.x: Yes • Version 18.x: Yes	Version 5.8.x: Yes	MySQL 8.0.x: Yes
Ubuntu 22.04	Yes	• Version 13.x: Yes • Version 16.x: Yes • Version 18.x: Yes	Version 5.4.x: Yes	MySQL 8.0.x: Yes
Ubuntu 20.04	Yes	• Version 13.x: Yes • Version 16.x: Yes • Version 18.x: Yes	Version 5.4.x: Yes, but Ubuntu 20.04 should be avoided because it ships with a version of Perl that has a known problem with Kamailio	MySQL 8.0.x: Yes
Ubuntu 18.04	Yes	• Version 13.x: Yes • Version 16.x: Yes • Version 18.x: Yes	Version 5.4.x: Yes	MySQL 5.7.x: Yes
Ubuntu 16.04	Yes, but the HTMLDOC version it uses does not compile. As an alternative, an older HTMLDOC version may be installed.	• Version 13.x: Yes • Version 16.x: No (it requires libjansson >= 2.11, which is not packaged with Ubuntu before 18.04. Alternatively, it may be installed by passing the --with-jansson-bundled flag to the ./configure command inside the Enswitch installer, which will need to be changed) • Version 18.x: No (it requires libjansson >= 2.11, which is not packaged with Ubuntu before 18.04. Alternatively, it may be installed by passing the --with-jansson-bundled flag to the ./configure command inside the Enswitch installer, which will need to be changed)	Version 5.4.x: Yes	MySQL 5.7.x: Yes
Debian 7	Maybe. Debian 7 comes with MySQL 5.5, but Enswitch 4.0 and newer require MySQL version >= 5.7 or MariaDB >= 10.2. There are errors when trying to use MySQL 5.5.x, at least in the configuration files.	• Version 13.x: Yes • Version 16.x: No (astdb requires SQLite library version >= 3.7.15, but Debian 7 comes with 3.7.13. Also, it requires libjansson >= 2.11, but Debian 7 comes with 2.3; it may be installed by passing the --with-jansson-bundled flag to the ./configure command inside the Enswitch installer, which will need to be changed) • Version 18.x: No (it does not exhibit the SQLite error observed with Asterisk 16.x, however it still requires libjansson >= 2.11, but Debian 7 comes with 2.3; it may be installed by passing the --with-jansson-bundled flag to the ./configure command inside the Enswitch installer, which will need to be changed)	Version 5.4.x: Yes	MySQL 5.5.x: No (documented configuration file gives syntax errors and it is unknown if they may be fixed and if Enswitch would work fine after that). Updating MySQL to version >= 5.7 or MariaDB to version >= 10.2 may be an option.
