AMP is a free tool to help with setting up/managing asterisk. An ebuild would be very nice. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
work in progress
Created attachment 68060 [details] This is a working and tested first version of AMP ebuild. This ebuild follows the AMP installation procedure. Lot of improvements are needed: This ebuild installs the web site under /var/www/localhost/htdocs This ebuild contains a NOT AUTOMATICALLY INSTALLED review of /etc/init.d/asterisk to set permission at run-time This ebuild expects the apache http server to be configured with User asterisk, Group asterisk and to support -D PHP4 This ebuild supposes mysql is used, deployed and admits user root without password This ebuild suppose asterisk use ALSA module and not OSS module This ebuild resulting configuration has to be merged in /etc/asterisk No use of apache.ebuild is done. I hope it could help somebody.
I'm going to test your ebuild tomorrow. (After finishing some short term items on my todo list)
Created attachment 68615 [details] This is a proposition for AMP 1.10.008 and 1.10.009 installation.
Created attachment 69363 [details] Improvement of ebuild 008 and 009
Improvements: - This ebuild use the new apache2 - This ebuild installs the web site under /var/www/amp.__dnsdomainname__/ accessible thru http://amp. ... or has default and only site on server IP address - This ebuild use the default asterisk init.d - This installation restrict amp ressources access to only apache and asterisk Assumptions: - AMP http server and asterisk server located on the same server - Alsa is available. Kernel or Module enabled - Apache2 has PHP4 enabled at startup - Apache2 Virtual Host are not disabled - Mysql is used, deployed and admits user root without password Last words: As usual, don t forget to etc-update your config file. Reload thru the AMP application your config. Use AMP to define : * incoming trunk to receive from external sites * outgoing trunk to transmit to external sites * internal extension to assign extension to your IP equipment Remainings improvements to be integrated to zaptel ebuild: - automatize Zaptel config with 2 ISDN cards and FXO/FXS equipment - autodetect equipment like in the other distributions - check if dubbel zaptel definition in rules 10 and 50 is safe - resolve UDEV issue not creating zaptel device right in time at boot time but creating it later if udevstart is invoked. Those ebuilds are my first one, be warned. External tests and QA reviews should be applied. Good Luck
This is great work. I started working on this months ago and got sidetracked. My first instinct was to suggest that you use the webapp-config stuff to track the web files and the DB files, and move the Db stuff into the post config phase. However, the setup for this app is just so darn complicated that I can see why you did what you did. There appears to be a small typo at one spot, line 181 of the 009 ebuild says: -e "s:/ \$AMPWEBROT/: ${D}:g" \ Also just eyeballing the ebuild you repeat a large chunk of the applyconf.sh stuff in the ebuild? Is there a reason for this? It looks like your regexp should have already sorted this? This looks really nice though. I hope you can get some more testing and feedback from people
I discover 3 issues on the ebuild. - First, manager service has to be enabled with the expected username/password defined inside /etc/amportal.conf, unless the installation abort without error code. - Secondly, I had authentification problem during voicemail login. Finnally, I tracked back to a tricky config. If you activate asterisk USE flag related to voicemail database usage, user/password are stored in file but authentification schema check against the DataBase. - Thirdly, I have corrected the typo you descibe and patch the upgrade procedure. I'm going to check if some part of the ebuild is not usefull anymore, to do as many tests as possible, and reinstall my 2 IP/PBX. I'm working on using catalyst to build a livecd Asterisk IP-PBX + AMP. Is anybody interested in ? Having specific requests or ideas ? I'm in the early stage of development. I now am able to build the minimal and generic livecd and to twice loop-mount the resulting image to brose th result. Thanks for your review
For your information, - manager config has to be enabled in /etc/asterisk/manager.conf. - in the next ebuild review, I duplicate voicemail info inside the mysql database.
Add in FOP please to your livecd if not already there.
I don't know if you already did, but I think it would be worth pushing for some changes upstream to make the installation easier. I just posted a tiny appeal to their mailing list. Can see what happens.. Possibly the latest beta is heading in the right direction. I'm not sure if Asterisk 1.20 will make things easier by allowing more config to be stored in the DB?
The new AMP version at least removes all the sound files.... Still has a rather nasty install script though. Did you have any time to look at tweaking your ebuild? Good luck Ed W
Just to be in CC I'm very interested by this ebuild and by livecd IPBX.
another vote of interest.. I agree that their install script is ugly! pity really..
the name of AMP has been changed to freePBX. http://coalescentsystems.ca/index.php?page=freePBX_AMP some comments on the ebuild 009: - thanks for starting this! - please rework the ebuild to install with the webapp eclass. then you will not have to do all the setup of /var/www/amp.`dnsdomainname`. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/webapps/webapp-eclass.xml - use 'dodir' instead of 'mkdir ${D}/foo'. use 'insinto' and 'doins' instead of 'cp' http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?part=2&chap=1 describes the helpers available in an ebuild. - the ebuild should not modify or overwrite existing files such as /etc/asterisk/modules.conf, /etc/asterisk/features.conf, any of the php.ini files, or 70_mod_php.conf. tell the user to do that and/or put those command into pkg_config. - do not overwrite /etc/init.d/asterisk. instead create /etc/init.d/freepbx

Having problems deciding what to do with file permissions as I couldn't get suPHP or suexec working to run it as the asterisk user. Considering using extended ACLs to allow the apache user to write to /etc/amportal/*
Created attachment 83788 [details] Webapp version of amportal ebuild for 1.10.010 This is a webapp version of AMP/amportal/freePBX. Things to note: - ebuild is 'www-apps/amportal' not 'www-apps/AMP' as amportal is more consistently used throughout the webapp - /etc/amportal.conf has moved to /etc/conf.d/amportal - upgrade from the 1.10.008 or 1.10.009 ebuilds _should_ be possible, but is untested - postinstall instructions - read them! Since we need to write to files in /etc/asterisk/* we cannot install this as a pure webapp. This is a hybrid webapp, therefore the postinstall_hook script disables the sandbox. If you try to install more than one vhost you will overwrite the old configs with the new one. Much effort (weeks) has gone into making sure "it just works" in "the Gentoo Way", however I have not done extensive testing of actually running the app. Changing the names to freePBX should be fairly trivial. I will try and get an ebuild out for v2.0.1 soon too.

Created attachment 87305 [details] FreePBX 2.0.1 webapp ebuild Fairly major changes in the way this works. Both ebuild and application are not well tested. The ebuild should install okay but not sure it covers everything necessary. Includes a modified upgrade script so upgrading from any version should be possible. I'm particularly interested in finding out how well upgrade works and any weird things you have to do manually (like touch a file somewhere).

Very encouraging patch in FreePBX (added to enable FreeBSD ports system) http://www.freepbx.org/ticket/761 Hopefully this will make it possible to get a FreePBX 2.2 into a decent shape for an ebuild!

BUMP for status check. Any chance this can be merged into the voip overlay for greater testing/exposure?

If someone is interested in helping to get this in I can set him up with access to the voip overlay. I can also mentor in order to gain gentoo tree cvs access and maintain it there. Just email me or talk to me in irc to move this :) Just saying "+1" wont change anything - doing the work will.

Neither will going into hiding for months on end. As you can see, there is demand for this package. Thanks for finally letting us know the situation so we can assist. IMHO Gentoo needs an official dev. blog server so users can be kept up to date on things like this.

Eh I was not hiding, I was always available in the usual irc channels and by email - just no one with repo access had interest in this bug and no one without it wanted to gain repo access to commit it. > As you can see, there is > demand for this package. Yeah that is why I put such a request for help on it. > Thanks for finally letting us know the situation so > we can assist. pleasure :) > IMHO Gentoo needs an official dev. blog server so users can be > kept up to date on things like this. We have an official dev blog: planet.gentoo.org
Free PBX 2.3.0 Released and he wrote: "Contribute Your Favorite Distribution's Package Format Are you a packaging master? We'd like to start adding RPMs, DEBs, and ports to this page for various distributions. email info @ freepbx.org to help!" sorry - i'm non dev, but can be tester...
FYI if someone picks this back up: http://blog.chrisbaran.net/2009/03/04/freepbx-on-gentoo/ I've laid out all the Gentoo changes required for FreePBX.
They are still people who want this package ? If someone want to maintain it, I can proxy.
I for one would love to ditch my elastix distro and get back to gentoo on my PBX box. Freepbx just seems to be build without any regards to being easy to package... I think the solution has to be to push many of the required changes upstream - in particular the desire to have Apache run as the same user as Asterisk is just bad... I have no capacity to work on this right now, but hope that it won't completely die...
Busy looking at asterisk updates ... This is not one I'm overly interested in ... can we please let this one die? Last comments on this has been a decade ago. If not, can a possible maintainer please step forward?
No one indicated interest after my last response. Resolving as WONTFIX.
I'm trying to install FreePBX on gentoo with systemd. Later I'll provide a result of my experiments. The goal - obtain working copy with non-commercial modules of FreePBX-16 with asterisk-20.
Update. I installed latest FreePBX-16 on gentoo with a few simple patches to install script. The FreePBX installed "empty". So I have to install needed modules manually. It seems to me that it is impossible to include such option to ebuild. in a few days I'll test new installation...
I can't install Freepbx repo official CD with custom instillation. It seems to thaere is no way to use rather than mysql to install. so in e week or so i'll provide updated ebuil for freepbx on systemd/gentoo linux with minimal modules insytall. up to f few days - I can't obtain commercial modules working (as a sample -systemdamin modyle rquires ioncube 10.4.5 which is not compatible with 'non freepbx ative install". i can't up to now understad such a behavior of on installation. maybe later ...
