Hi guys,
I have been playing with the following idea:
Create a ready-to-run OS image with everything that is needed for
iptel.org apps pre-installed + a complete installation of:
* SER 2.0 (release)
* rtpproxy
* SEMS
* SERweb
* maybe sipsak, some monitoring tools, etc
The idea is to create a small script 'config_iptelorg' for configuring
the installation to your needs. You should then be able to download
the ready image, boot it, go through the script and have an up and
running iptel.org proxy and app server just like the iptel.org free
SIP service in maybe 10-15 minutes. This way you could host a SIP
service for your own domain with close to no setup at all.
Some questions to you:
* Is there any interest for this at all?
* I was thinking about using Ubuntu 7.10 server as the OS. Any
thoughts/preferences?
* Should the image be an Amazon EC3 image (you could use
http://www.rightscale.com and get it running in no time with 10
run-hours free) or should it be a VMware appliance to be run with free
VMware Player?
* Other suggestions/comments?
I could need some help with this, anyone interested in lending me a
hand? (could be anything, documentation, testing, installation, etc)
g-)
I think that's an absolutely wonderful idea, Greger. The BIGGEST
complaint we always hear about SER is that it's a very steep learning
curve to install and get up and running even in just a basic hello world
state. A ready-to-go install would do wonders for attracting more
developers/people to the community.
As for OS, I'd have to second CentOS/RHEL (same thing), since they're
probably the most prominent distributions for server OS. Since FC is,
for all practical purposes, a testbed for RHEL (which becomes CentOS),
most things that run on CentOS/RHEL should also run on FC with ease
(allowing for easy migration if one desires).
I've got a copy of VMware here I'd be happy to test with, as well as a
machine or two I could install upon.
