Self-hosted IP-phone network

freddo@feddit.nu to Selfhosted@lemmy.world – 61 points –

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?

Interesting - why avoid asterisk?

I looked into fusion to play with but I’ve been using asterisk casually since like the 00s with no issues.

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.

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.

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
