A 2026 installation guide for VICIdial, covering ViciBox 12.0.2 on modern Linux distros from start to first call.
•CentOS 7 reached EOL in June 2024, making most existing guides obsolete; AlmaLinux 9 and ViciBox 12.0.2 (OpenSuSE Leap 15.6) are the only recommended paths in 2026
•ViciBox 12.0.2 bundles Asterisk 18, MariaDB 10.11.9, and PHP 8.2; SVN trunk is at revision 3939+, version 2.14b0.5
•Single-server setup for up to 25 agents requires 6+ cores, 16 GB ECC RAM, and 500 GB RAID1 SSD (HDDs are no longer acceptable)
•Single-command install via vicibox-express handles a full stack; a critical MariaDB TIMESTAMP bug must be patched immediately after
•Multi-server clusters split into four roles: database, telephony/dialer, web, and archive servers
