Self-hosted IP-phone network (feddit.nu)

submitted 7 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

24 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Just for fun, a few associations I'm part of want to set up our own IP-phone network, with our own phone numbers and such.

Is this possible?
How would one go about doing this?
Does it have to be it's own separate network or can it work via the internet without special setup beyond a public IP?

Owned by a for profit *aaS provider whose motivations are money.

Fusion PBX is a front end of freeswitch is not. Mark and the team at Fusion are top notch with their support.

Is fusionpbx completely open source? Do you have any further reasons why you would recommend it?

I was looking into asterisk the last couple of days for a new company PBX and need some alternatives to compare against. Asterisk looks also a bit complicated though not impossible

mostly open. Here is the git repo for FusionPBX so you can see. https://github.com/fusionpbx/fusionpbx

Super easy to get off the ground. Here is the install page https://www.fusionpbx.com/download.php

We used it as a multi tenant hosted pbx back when I was working for an ISP. works really well.

Ah yes that makes sense. I was taken aback by my latest install of freepbx. I feel it wasn’t as aggressive during the Digium days but it definitely left a bad taste in my mouth.

I heard good things about free switch, although it seems like a paradigm change. I’ll have to check it out.
