Complete guide to infrastructure & devops for ViciDial and Asterisk. 29 in-depth tutorials covering everything from basics to advanced production setups.
Replicate three MariaDB masters into one read-only reporting replica with per-source database renaming, so heavy queries never touch production.
Build a web panel to power on, reboot, and schedule a fleet of cloud VMs: PHP frontend, REST API backend, SQLite storage, and role-based access.
Build a complete WhatsApp monitoring platform using Evolution API, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Claude AI, and Resend -- no official WhatsApp Business API required.
Speed up call-center VDI workstations with one PowerShell script that applies 37+ Windows optimizations and frees over 6 GB of disk per machine.
Build a Python system that scrapes 5 job boards daily, uses Claude AI to score each listing against your skills, and delivers a ranked HTML email digest -- completely hands-off.
Deploy preconfigured softphones to dozens of agent PCs at once with tSIP or MicroSIP, PowerShell, and a central config server.
Wrap Asterisk, ViciDial, and MySQL admin tasks into one shell CLI tool, so routine checks take one command instead of five terminals.
Connect a physical GSM gateway to your ViciDial call center for making and receiving calls over cellular networks — complete with NAT traversal, inbound/outbound routing, and production troubleshooting.
Run Asterisk 21 fully containerized: Docker Compose with PJSIP, MariaDB, Redis, Nginx, Let's Encrypt, ARI, and WebRTC that survives restarts.
A complete beginner-to-intermediate guide to FreeSWITCH: installation, SIP endpoints, XML dialplan, IVR menus, voicemail, and Event Socket integration. 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: installation, SIP routing, authentication, NAT traversal, TLS, and load balancing as an SBC. 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.
