Following steps were necessary to follow to install voipmonitor GUI and sniffer including mysql db into ubuntu 24.04 minimal server installation with 16GB of RAM.

Database

Install

apt-get update
apt-get install tshark mtr librsvg2-bin gsfonts mysql-server ethtool

Configure

Add the recommended settings from our Scaling section of a doc into mysql's config (keep in mind to set up to half of available RAM for use of the mysql read cache - innodb_buffer_pool_size) 

echo 'innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 2' >> /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf
echo 'innodb_buffer_pool_size = 8GB' >> /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf
echo 'skip-log-bin' >> /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf
echo 'skip-name-resolve' >> /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf
echo 'default_authentication_plugin=mysql_native_password' >> /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf

Apply

systemctl restart mysql

Create User

Create the new user in a db for voipmonitor's use with ALL privileges. (Please change YourPassword string to something strong and write it down - it will be necessary to fill password again when configuring the service in /etc/voipmonitor.conf - and when you will login for the first time to the GUI using web-browser. 

CREATE USER `voipmonitor`@`127.0.0.1` IDENTIFIED BY 'YourPassword';
GRANT ALL ON voipmonitor.* TO 'voipmonitor'@'127.0.0.1'; 
GRANT SUPER ON *.* TO 'voipmonitor'@'127.0.0.1';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

PHP + modules and ioncube:

Unfortunately there is no php 8.3 supported by the ioncube currently (28.5.2024), therefor You need to install php 8.2 from sury's repositories - this expects to use apache2 as a web server(no nginx) - If you want install nginx - this doc not covers it but it is possible as well (add ondrej/nginx instead of ondrej/apache2)

Add O.Sury's repos

add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/apache2
apt update

Install

apt install php8.2 php8.2-gd php8.2-mysql php8.2-cli php8.2-mbstring php8.2-xml php8.2-zip apache2 libapache2-mod-php8.2 cron lsof

(php-unzip chybi)

Enable php82

update-alternatives --set php /usr/bin/php8.2
a2dismod php8.3
a2enmod php8.2

Ioncube install

wget http://voipmonitor.org/ioncube/x86_64/ioncube_loader_lin_8.2.so -O /usr/lib/php/8.2/ioncube_loader_lin_8.2.so
echo "zend_extension = /usr/lib/php/8.2/ioncube_loader_lin_8.2.so" > /etc/php/8.2/apache2/conf.d/01-ioncube.ini
echo "zend_extension = /usr/lib/php/8.2/ioncube_loader_lin_8.2.so" > /etc/php/8.2/cli/conf.d/01-ioncube.ini
