This guide is based on CentOS 8 Distribution. {: .blue}
Install CentOS 8 from Vagrant box (optional)
Vagrant provides a simple way to create and deploy Virtual Machines from pre-built images using VirtualBox, libvirt, or VMWare as a hypervisor engine. This allows the user to quickly create a virtual machine without the hassle of installing the operating system by hand.
Install Vagrant
The instructions to install Vagrant are provided at vagrantup.com.
Create a CentOS 8 Virtual Machine using Vagrant
Use the supplied Vagrantfile
in the vagrant
directory to create the
virtual machine.
Note that this Vagrantfile is identical to the base CentOS 8 box, with the exception that the amount of virtual memory has been increased to 1GB:
cd vagrant/centos
vagrant up --provider virtualbox
Log into the newly created CentOS VM
Use SSH to log into the CentOS 8 VM:
vagrant ssh
Note that the Open5GS source is not copied into the VM. The instructions below provide the step by step instructions for setting up Open5GS for either a bare metal or virtual CentOS 8 system.
The rest of the commands below are performed inside the CentOS VM as the user 'vagrant', or on your bare metal CentOS 8 system as any normal user.
Install prerequisite packages to build and run Open5GS
Enable CentOS 8 PowerTools repository
$ sudo dnf install 'dnf-command(config-manager)'
$ sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled PowerTools
Enable the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux
Enable the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux repo by installing the
epel-release
package:
$ sudo dnf install epel-release
Enable ELRepo
Enable the ELRepo repo (with testing enabled):
$ sudo dnf install https://www.elrepo.org/elrepo-release-8.el8.elrepo.noarch.rpm
$ sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled elrepo-testing
Install MongoDB using the package manager:
Create a repository file to install the MongoDB packages:
$ sudo sh -c 'cat << EOF > /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb-org-3.4.repo
[mongodb-org-3.4]
name=MongoDB Repository
baseurl=https://repo.mongodb.org/yum/redhat/\$releasever/mongodb-org/3.4/x86_64/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
gpgkey=https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-3.4.asc
EOF'
Install MongoDB using the package manager:
$ sudo dnf -y install mongodb-org
Install the dependencies for building the source code.
Open5GS requires several packages which are not installed by default in a base CentOS 8 installation.
$ sudo dnf install python3 meson ninja-build gcc gcc-c++ flex bison git lksctp-tools-devel libidn-devel gnutls-devel libgcrypt-devel openssl-devel cyrus-sasl-devel libyaml-devel mongo-c-driver-devel libmicrohttpd-devel libcurl-devel libnghttp2-devel
Install the SCTP kernel module in kernel-modules-extra.
$ sudo dnf install kernel-modules-extra
Install iproute IP interface tools.
$ sudo dnf install iproute
Update all installed packages to the latest versions.
This will update all of the installed packages to the latest versions from all of the repos that we enabled above.
$ sudo dnf update
Note that this may update the kernel version so you may need to reboot after this step to ensure that you are running this new kernel version. This is important when you try to load the SCTP kernel module later.
[vm] $ sudo reboot
[host] $ # ssh back into the VM after it reboots...
[host] $ vagrant ssh
Build Open5GS from Source
Git clone the Open5GS source code.
Clone a copy of the open5GS source code from github:
$ cd ~
$ git clone https://github.com/{{ site.github_username }}/open5gs
Compile the Open5GS source.
Compile the source using meson
. Note that this sets the installation prefix
to ~/open5gs/install
:
$ cd ~/open5gs
$ meson build --prefix=`pwd`/install
$ ninja -C build
Run and Test Open5GS
Start MongoDB
After installing the MongoDB server, it will be started automatically
when the machine is rebooted. You can check the status using systemctl
:
$ sudo systemctl status mongod.service
● mongod.service - MongoDB Database Server
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/mongod.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
Active: active (running) since Fri 2020-11-20 09:46:40 UTC; 10h ago
Docs: https://docs.mongodb.org/manual
Process: 779 ExecStart=/usr/bin/mongod $OPTIONS (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
Process: 775 ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/chmod 0755 /var/run/mongodb (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
Process: 770 ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/chown mongod:mongod /var/run/mongodb (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
Process: 732 ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/mkdir -p /var/run/mongodb (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
Main PID: 781 (mongod)
Memory: 99.7M
CGroup: /system.slice/mongod.service
└─781 /usr/bin/mongod -f /etc/mongod.conf
If it has not started, then it can be started using systemctl
:
$ sudo systemctl enable mongod.service
$ sudo systemctl start mongod.service
The default database location is /var/log/mongodb/mongod.log
. This can
be adjusted in /etc/mongod.conf
.
Set up a TUN interface
Create a TUN/TAP interface. The interface name will be ogstun
.
$ sudo ip tuntap add name ogstun mode tun
$ ip link show
To support IPv6-enabled UEs, you must configure the ogstun
interface
to support IPv6. This is done by setting the diable_ipv6
option for
ogstun
to 0 (false):
$ sysctl -n net.ipv6.conf.ogstun.disable_ipv6
1
$ sudo -w net.ipv6.conf.ogstun.disable_ipv6=0
$ sysctl -n net.ipv6.conf.ogstun.disable_ipv6
0
Note: If your TUN interface already supports IPv6, you can skip this steps above. {: .notice--info}
Set the IP address on the ogstun
TUN interface.
$ sudo ip addr add 10.45.0.1/16 dev ogstun
$ sudo ip addr add 2001:230:cafe::1/48 dev ogstun
Make sure it is set up properly.
$ sudo ip link set ogstun up
$ ip link show
Notice: This configuration is not persistent after rebooting. The
script provided in [$GIT_REPO/misc/netconf.sh](https://github.com/{{
site.github_username }}/open5gs/blob/main/misc/netconf.sh) makes it easy
to configure the TUN device as follows:
$ sudo ./misc/netconf.sh
{: .notice--info}
Install the SCTP kernel module
Open5GS requires the Linux SCTP kernel module to be loaded in the kernel. In the CentOS 8 Vagrant box SCTP is not loaded into the kernel automatically so must be installed as follows:
$ sudo modprobe sctp
$ # Check that SCTP was loaded successfully:
$ sudo dmesg | grep sctp
[ 639.971360] sctp: Hash tables configured (bind 256/256)
Testing Open5GS
Run Individual Open5GS tests.
Open5GS test applications are created in the ~/open5gs/build/tests
directory.
$ cd ~/open5gs
$ ./build/tests/attach/attach ## EPC Only
s1setup-test : SUCCESS
guti-test : SUCCESS
auth-test : SUCCESS
idle-test : SUCCESS
emm-status-test : SUCCESS
ue-context-test : SUCCESS
reset-test : SUCCESS
All tests passed.
$ ./build/tests/registration/registration ## 5G Core Only
guti-test : SUCCESS
auth-test : SUCCESS
idle-test : SUCCESS
dereg-test : SUCCESS
identity-test : SUCCESS
gmm-status-test : SUCCESS
ue-context-test : SUCCESS
All tests passed.
Run all Open5GS tests.
Run all Open5GS test programs:
$ cd ~/open5gs
$ cd build
$ meson test -v
Tip: You can also check the result of meson test -v
with a tool that captures packets. If you are running wireshark
, select the loopback
interface and set FILTER to s1ap || gtpv2 || pfcp || diameter || gtp || ngap || http
. You can see the virtually created packets. [testattach.pcapng]({{ site.url }}{{ site.baseurl }}/assets/pcapng/testattach.pcapng)/[testregistration.pcapng]({{ site.url }}{{ site.baseurl }}/assets/pcapng/testregistration.pcapng)
{: .notice--info}
Installing Open5GS.
Open5GS can be installed using meson as well. This will install the
product to $(HOME)/open5gs/install
if the prefix
was set as shown above.
$ cd ~/open5gs
$ cd build
$ ninja install
$ cd ../
$ ls install/bin
open5gs-amfd open5gs-hssd open5gs-nrfd open5gs-sgwcd open5gs-smfd open5gs-udrd

Building WebUI of Open5GS
Node.js is required to build WebUI of Open5GS
Install Node.js:
$ sudo dnf install nodejs
Install the dependencies to run WebUI
$ cd ~/open5gs
$ cd webui
$ npm ci --no-optional
The WebUI runs as an npm script.
$ npm run dev
