Re: [Astlinux-users] Using FreePBX conf files

[canuck15 <can...@ho...>]

 
Actually, I can install Trixbox, which includes CentOS/FreePBX/Asterisk on a
VMWARE image in about 20minutes with almost no interaction required.

I'd like to at least be able to use the sip.conf and extensions.conf files.
Parsing all the *_additional.conf files into them.

Unfortunately, FreePBX also has its way with astdb along with use a 
bunch of AGI's and therefore even more files. On the surface, it looks 
like it would work, but the rest of the iceberg is lurking below.

p.s. It's also harder than it looks to "simply" install FreePBX - there 
are a lot of dependencies, last I tried.

  It's even less time with trixbox!  Seriously though, it goes so
quickly because there are existing packages, docs, etc (not to mention
trixbox).

You're preaching to the choir Kris - we ship hundreds of the Rhino CEROS 
systems pre-loaded with Trixbox. We actually have our own CD with 
kickstarts etc that we ship as a restore CD which makes the entire 
process completely hands-off. Even with 3 reboots, the process is about 
10 minutes and we have rackfulls of systems continuously installing as 
part of the burn-in and testing process (I call it "How fast can you 
wear out a drive").

Like others have said canuck, we're just focusing on FreePBX in this 
discussion. You can, in fact, fit TB on a 2GB CF card, if you're feeling 
"lucky", but of course you lose everything that makes a nice, thin, 
custom distro such as Astlinux. Two minutes to boot TB vs 30s for 
Astlinux... I'll take Astlinux. (Not to mention Astlinux is still fully 
community-driven, which is a very nice thing).

Bryce,

  Trixbox certainly has it's time and place.  I don't think that I
have ever publicly addressed this but I might as well...

  Trixbox and AstLinux have very different design goals.  AstLinux is
not really designed to be a complete out of the box beginner's PBX
system.  It is meant to be a rock solid, bare bones toolkit for making
an appliance, PBX, etc.

  For instance - Matt Riddell has done a great job with the
VentureVoip appliance.  They took the functionality that AstLinux had,
added provisioning, hardware, and a web gui (among many other things
I'm sure) and ended up with a VERY nice finished product.  Well done
guys!

  Bryce - you mention "getting" trixbox to install to a 2GB CF card.
How well does that run on ordinary hardware?  Have you ever tested it
on something like a Soekris?  I'm not sure that it would even install,
but it would probably be pretty interesting to see how it would run.

In my old company my project manager want only trixbox solutions on epia
on 4GB Microdrive with many problem of performance, misnd channel,
backup and restore. But  the new asterisk@home have a intuitive GUI to
manage it.

Now I am free :0 (no project manager) and I can use astlinux :) and
other my derivations from buildroot toolchain like IPS, firewall,
openvpn server, access point ...


With astlinux all the txt config  stay in a usb disk and with

ssh root@myastlinuxpbx 'cat /dev/sda' > backup.img
cat backup.img > /dev/sda (whre sda is my usbdisk deposit in the vault)

is possibile make fantastic backup without problem :)

In this moment i use my build script to create SIP/IAX internals and i
edit my extension because i cant find other solutions.
The problem is for the noshellperson :( .

I can't find the web gui of VentureVoip appliance . Isnt it GPL ? Why?



Thank you very much Kristian Kielhofner.

With you fantastic ASTLINUX you have take me the way of buildroot :)
