Quickstart

Note: Open5GS supports installation of packages in Debian/Ubuntu and openSUSE environments. CentOS, Fedora, FreeBSD, and Mac OSX require you to [build with source code]({{ site.url }}{{ site.baseurl }}/docs/guide/02-building-open5gs-from-sources) {: .notice--warning}

Install Open5GS with a Package Manager


The Open5GS package is available on the recent versions of Ubuntu.

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install software-properties-common
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:open5gs/latest
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install open5gs

The Open5GS package is also available on OBS. First, install the authentication key as shown below.

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install wget gnupg
$ wget https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/acetcom:/open5gs:/latest/Debian_10/Release.key
$ sudo apt-key add Release.key

In Debian 10(buster), you can install it as follows:

$ sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/acetcom:/open5gs:/latest/Debian_10/ ./' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/open5gs.list"
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install open5gs

Other Linux distributions can be installed by changing the path.

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/acetcom:/open5gs:/latest/Debian_Testing/
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/acetcom:/open5gs:/latest/Debian_Unstable/
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/acetcom:/open5gs:/latest/Raspbian_10/
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/acetcom:/open5gs:/latest/xUbuntu_18.04/

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/acetcom:/open5gs:/latest/xUbuntu_19.10/

Martin Hauke packaged Open5GS for openSUSE on OBS.

$ sudo zypper addrepo -f obs://home:mnhauke:nextepc home:mnhauke:nextepc
$ sudo zypper install nextepc
$ sudo zypper install mongodb-server mongodb-shell

Configure Open5GS


Modify [/etc/open5gs/mme.yaml](https://github.com/{{ site.github_username }}/open5gs/blob/master/configs/open5gs/mme.yaml.in) to set the S1AP/GTP-C IP address, PLMN ID, and TAC

Install WebUI of Open5GS


Node.js is required to install WebUI of Open5GS

  1. Debian and Ubuntu based Linux distributions can install Node.js as follows:

    $ sudo apt update
    $ sudo apt install curl
    $ curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | sudo -E bash -
    $ sudo apt install nodejs
    
  2. To install Node.js on openSUSE, run the following:

    $ sudo zypper install nodejs8
    

You can now install WebUI of Open5GS.

$ curl -sL {{ site.url }}{{ site.baseurl }}/assets/webui/install | sudo -E bash -

Register Subscriber Information


Connect to http://localhost:3000 and login with admin account.

Username : admin
Password : 1423

Tip: You can change the password in Account Menu. {: .notice--info}

To add subscriber information, you can do WebUI operations in the following order:

  1. Go to Subscriber Menu.
  2. Click + Button to add a new subscriber.
  3. Fill the IMSI, security context(K, OPc, AMF), and APN of the subscriber.
  4. Click SAVE Button

Tip: This addition immediately affects Open5GS without restaring any daemon. {: .notice--info}

Adding a route for UE to have Internet connectivity


If your phone can connect to internet, you must run the following command in Open5GS-PGW installed host.

### Check IP Tables
$ sudo iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

### Check NAT Tables
$ sudo iptables -L -t nat
Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

### Enable IPv4 Forwarding
$ sudo sh -c "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward"

### Add NAT Rule
$ sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 45.45.0.0/16 ! -o ogstun -j MASQUERADE

Note: For the first time, it is a good condition if you do not have any rules in the IP/NAT tables. If a program such as docker has already set up a rule, you will need to add a rule differently. {: .notice--danger}

Turn on your eNodeB and Phone


  • Connect your eNodeB to the IP of your server via the standard S1AP port of SCTP 36412 (for MME)
  • You can see actual traffic through wireshark -- srsenb.pcapng({{ site.url }}{{ site.baseurl }}/assets/pcapng/srsenb.pcapng).
  • You can view the log at /var/log/open5gs/*.log.

Troubleshooting


Problem with Open5GS can be filed as GitHub Issues. Please include the following to get help:

  • Attach *.pcapng file created by wireskark.
  • Attach configuration files at /etc/open5gs/*.yaml.
  • Attach log files at /var/log/open5gs/*.log.

You can modify the configuration file to record more logs.

Additional Troubleshooting

After successfully attaching the UE (e.g. 45.45.0.2) to the EPC if the UE device doesn't have access to internet, it is recommended to do the following checks:

  • Check if the interface connected to the internet is correctly NAT with the ogstun interface. Follow the documentation Here
    • Ensure that the packets in the INPUT chain to the ogstun interface are accepted
    $ sudo iptables -I INPUT -i ogstun -j ACCEPT
    
  • Check if the UE's IP can be pinged successfully by performing ping <IP of UE> e.g.ping 45.45.0.2
  • Configure the firewall correctly. Some operating systems (Ubuntu) by default enable firewall rules to block traffic
    • Explicitly disable it to see if it resolves the problem of granting data access to the UE by doing
    $ sudo ufw disable
    

Uninstall Open5GS and WebUI

How to remove Open5GS package:

  1. On Ubuntu:

    $ sudo apt purge open5gs
    $ sudo apt autoremove
    
  2. On openSUSE:

    $ sudo zypper rm open5gs
    

You may need to remove manually /var/log/open5gs unless it is empty.

$ sudo rm -Rf /var/log/open5gs

The WebUI of Open5GS can be removed as follows:

curl -sL {{ site.url }}{{ site.baseurl }}/assets/webui/uninstall | sudo -E bash -
