@AlyRagab said in Asterisk/Elastix setup in AWS:

Actually it is a POC level of environment. I am convinced already that Asterisk "As a legacy app" is so difficult to make it cloud native kind of application.
For me i am away from the VoIP field since more than 4 years now, so is there any other complete solution that can be scaled and hosted in AWS ?.

You are getting things backwards. You should be responding with "oh, AWS and cloud are the wrong approaches for VoIP". It feels like you are driving with a solution and trying to find a goal. Cart before the horse. A POC of a fundamentally bad idea is still a bad idea and a waste of resources.

Is the idea of scaling VoIP interesting? Sure. Can you produce a use case for it? Maybe. But it'll be a stretch.

Does anyone make a complete solution? I doubt it. There's no market for it. The only places that could make use of it are enormous players who would make their own solution (e.g. Twilio) in order to do something unique. If you are the kind of shop that needs this, you can't really use someone else's product. If you need to do someone else's product, we can safely assume it's the wrong product for you.

The problem is solved after the below changes on the Databases:

SET GLOBAL TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ COMMITTED; SET SESSION TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ COMMITTED;

To verify :

SELECT @@GLOBAL.tx_isolation, @@tx_isolation

@scottalanmiller said in Elastix SMS Module:

And maybe this is useful...

https://community.freepbx.org/t/configuring-freepbx-13-with-asterisk-11-for-sip-sms/35404

Sangoma supports SMS on their trunks at least. You always need SMS from your trunk provider.

It is only supported with a SipStation trunk (owned by Sangoma). It is not the cheapest trunk in the world for calling, but if you require SMS, it is the simplest method for setup within FreePBX.

I have not had a need to go looking for a solution for a client yet. BUt there used to be stuff out there in the PBXiaF ecosystem. I have no idea how much of their old Asterisk/FreePBX based stuff is still out there though since they sold out to 3CX also.

@jaredbusch said in Asterisk iax2 Trunks Unreachable:

@alyragab said in Asterisk iax2 Trunks Unreachable:

@jaredbusch it is the same as i have wrote in the trunk settings ,
however as a temp solution for this issue i have created a cron job to run

asterisk -rvx "core restart gracefully"

but the question now is : will repeating this command affect the system badly ?.

This does not hurt anything, but it is also not resolving the issue.

it is actually activating any "unreachable" trunk to return it to the normal status , i am still searching for a permanent solution.

Now, it is telling asterisk to restart itself when there are no calls currently processing.

Asterisk restarting causes all trunks to reregister / reconnect.

So it is not activating unreachable trunks specifically.

You need to dig out the /var/logs/asterisk/full log from a day that this was failing and then go through that to find out what Asterisk is seeing when the trunk is down.

@jaredbusch said in Zabbix + ELK In A Box:

@donaldlandru said in Zabbix + ELK In A Box:

From the page itself

We haven’t performed any major capacity planning exercises or performance validation exercises to validate the limits of what Zabbix + ELK In A Box can do at the recommended configuration i.e. 2 vCPU’s, 4 GB RAM. However, we would highly recommend that you use limit use of Zabbix + ELK In A Box to a small setup i.e. ~15-20 machines. For larger environments we would highly recommend designing and building your own scalable monitoring and log file analysis solution from scratch to meet your requirements.

Seems more like a quick way to get a PoC environment up before investing in learning how to deploy the applications.

That would be fine. But still a bad idea in general.

Also that page mentioned Ununtu 14. Just WTF

Agreed! Bad designed, and the article is over 2 years old.

@scottalanmiller said in Issabel PBX " Elastix Alternative ":

@alyragab said in Issabel PBX " Elastix Alternative ":

I think that the purpose of the Issabel is to continue creating the Add On Modules that was supported by Elastix , also it is based on CentOS 7 which will be more reliable than what Elastix 2.5 was.
anyway i think we need to wait till we find Issabel is stable distro and we can depend on it as we did with Elastix.

I assume that they are working form the nearly released Elastix 4 work. That was on CentOS 7 at the end.

And it did work with a lot of patience and knowledge of the underlying systems. But it was a hard fail for the layman.

True. I had it working, but it wasn't ready for prime time when they gave up on it all.

@AlyRagab said in CoreOS vs CentOS for Containers Deployments:

@scottalanmiller said in CoreOS vs CentOS for Containers Deployments:

I'd certainly not use CentOS. I'd use Fedora.

Why @scottalanmiller ?

http://www.smbitjournal.com/2017/04/rethinking-long-term-support-releases/

Especially for a component where constant development is taking place. Fedora is dramatically more modern and up to date on containers than CentOS.

Done

@AlyRagab said in Next Cloud Application:

@scottalanmiller it will be good , but this integration means that NextCloud can send mails from zimbra smtp connector ?

It can already do that. Currently Zimbra integrates into NextCloud. But in Zimbra 8.8 which releases soon, NextCloud integrates into Zimbra.

So we can integrate with the Zimbra LDAP with NextCloud
Right ?

Yes. Zimbra uses OpenLDAP I believe. Or they can both talk to Active Directory.

Nice , this will make the login to the NextCloud as " [email protected] " and the same password of his mail account

Correct, that should work fine. I've not tried it, but no reason it should not work.

I will try with OpenLDAP " Mainly FreeIPA " then try with Zimbra

@AlyRagab and from the storage side :

@stacksofplates said in Multiple Containers:

Ya there is no way Docker does as good of a job as SELinux at containing processes.

Exactly. More work, less benefit.

@AlyRagab

The web UI benefit is that it allowed me to understand why everytime I launch container it spawned a new one and made new generic name for it, and helped me understand more visually.

However You can do much more from it, than stop/start/restart/commit containers, and monitoring them. When it comes to doing edits its advised you do everything from command.

I actually never heard of supervisord until you mentioned it, thus I ran the default which I reckon is each process in a separate container and never had any issues yet.

For me the important thing I learned exploring docker is distinction between application containers and OS containers, and how to approach each.

Since you mentioned centos in docker, you might want to check Alpine Linux images, cause they fit the Just enough OS ideology of docker (or was that VMware Photon).

@AlyRagab said in Zimbra Security:

@scottalanmiller said in Zimbra Security:

Seems like the Zimbra security would be redundancy at that point.

so i can use the two ways at the same time?.

Yes, it's a standard interface between them so you can have as many as you like. Although I'm unsure what the benefit would be unless they are completely different systems.

Problem Solved , it was related to Dial Plan issue 🙂

Well, he could be trying to do a poor mans MPLS / transparent VPN thing..

You can do this if you really know your routing well.

ScreenConnect can definitely be used in house, but it is not open source or free. So probably not what you are looking for, but worth mentioning.

The only Ubuntu system I have is my UniFi controller

Thanks all , but if anyone gets it , may write his review or comment on this course so that i can improve it 🙂

Thanks
