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-)
Greger, Sounds s good idea. Definitely will help a lot of people. I remember when we started using ser, compiling/installing all the modules was a project. I can offer help with testing and installation. To be frank if you ask me how much help I can offer, I would say somewhere 5-10 hours a week for few (3-4) weeks. Regarding OS, how about FC*

Hi
iam already using SER 0.8.12 old version, but its quite nice and running
i can spend one server for testing , for your test CD and revert back
iam in
ram
Hello Greger,
My experience has been using VMware Server with a Centos 5.0 OS and SER. It has been absolutely rock solid and is part of a production system. I can thoroughly recommend it as a base.
VMWare server is always free and is available for Windows and Linux. There is a good user community.
Many O/S have a common problem of a too fast release cycle. They are (b)leeding edge and their stability and security is not guaranteed. On the other hand Centos 5.0 is enterprise grade and runs a slow release cycle that has thoroughly tested components.
Centos is also not so large as people make out. You can produce quite usable uncompressed systems in the range of 500 Meg - Even smaller if you get rid of atrocities like vi-enhanced at 30M, and emacs, and all the regional stuff, and all the manuals and the hundreds of utilities that would never be used on a production system. When you compress a 500M vmware system you can get download sizes of 100-200M. The system will run fine in 256M of RAM.

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.

I was thinking of packages by the way of debian packages on top of the oob package.

I think this is a great idea and would really help newbie installs.
A VMWare image is fine - but an ISO would be good too. Based on Centos would also make it standard with other builds such as the Trixbox builds of Asterisk.
An ISO could be very easily used to build it on a Xen machine too.
