Building service binary from sources (voluntary)
Following describes how to build and install custom voipmonitor binary from sources (tested with sources from 25.2.1)
First install necesary develop packages
apt-get -y install git build-essential unixodbc-dev libvorbis-dev libpcap-dev libsnappy-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libicu-dev libjson-c-dev libssh-dev librrd-dev libglib2.0-dev libxml2-dev libfftw3-dev liblzma-dev liblzo2-dev libpng-dev libgcrypt-dev libgoogle-perftools-dev libmariadb-dev libmariadb-dev-compat
Then download voipmonitor sources and build
mkdir /usr/src/voipmonitor-git cd /usr/src/voipmonitor-git git clone https://github.com/voipmonitor/sniffer.git ./ cd sniffer ./configure make make install
