A complete beginner-to-intermediate guide to FreeSWITCH — the high-performance open-source telephony platform. Learn installation, SIP endpoint configuration, XML dialplan, IVR menus, voicemail, recording, and integration patterns from scratch, with production-ready configurations throughout. Whether you are migrating from Asterisk or starting fresh, this tutorial gives you everything you need to deploy a fully functional FreeSWITCH system with SIP phones, trunks, call routing, conferencing, and external application control via the Event Socket Layer.
A complete beginner-to-intermediate guide to Kamailio — the high-performance open-source SIP proxy/router. Learn installation, SIP routing logic, user authentication, NAT traversal, TLS encryption, and load balancing from scratch, with production-ready configurations for use as a Session Border Controller (SBC) in front of Asterisk or FreeSWITCH. Whether you need to scale a single-server PBX to handle thousands of concurrent registrations, add a security layer in front of your media servers, or build a multi-tenant SIP platform, Kamailio is the tool that makes it possible.
Build a carrier-grade VoIP platform by combining Kamailio as a SIP proxy/load balancer with multiple FreeSWITCH media servers. This advanced tutorial covers dispatcher-based load balancing, RTPEngine for media relay, WebRTC gateway integration, database-driven routing, geographic failover, and full high availability with no single point of failure. This is the architecture used by every major VoIP provider handling millions of calls — and by the end of this tutorial, you will have a production-ready platform capable of 10,000+ concurrent calls with zero-downtime upgrades and geographic redundancy.
Transform an old laptop into a powerful self-hosted media server running Jellyfin, the *Arr suite, qBittorrent, AdGuard Home, Nextcloud, and 15+ services — all managed through Docker Compose with Intel QSV hardware transcoding, automated media management, and remote access via Tailscale.
