This is a very very good video from Part 1 to Part 4, I have been looking for this kind of stuff. Thank you very much, I have learned so much. Cheers to you Alastair !
I can't thank you enough for this information. Like the others have commented, I have been looking for a way to do this for a while. My first attempt at following your instructions I was able to get 2 phones plus 3 PC's "talking" to each other. My kids are going to love this addition in their treehouse. Thanks again! P.S. This was the missing piece to the escape room I'm building for my kids and their cousins. Your other "Smooth Operator" videos were crucial in setting up the final puzzle. Keep up the great work and awesome videos!
This is a great video, really just the basics of getting Asterisk running on a Raspberry pi. At the moment I’m at the stage where I have MicroSIP and four IP phones running using IP dialling (actually IP over mesh radio) but I wanted to take it to the next stage of setting up a local PBX and hopefully this video will get me there. Many thanks!
Hey Alastair, this is really cool stuff! Thanks for taking the time to learn how to do this and then tell others how to do the same. I found it really enlightening to learn about how to set up a VOIP network. I can understand now why my company went over to VOIP phones, even though sometimes they are a bit flaky! I am looking forward to watching the next episodes. And I am definitely going to have a go at making my own network. Cheers buddy!
Hi Sir can you please help setup email, voice mail part as well. Missed to say you are the best all the best. you are WoooW...Aww...Sommmee...Cheers for you... Nice video..
Does anyone know why I can’t hear any audio on any of my phones or soft phones? I can dial and the phones ring and the caller ids come through but no audio either way. It’s quite strange and I have tried googling and watching videos but nothing is working. Thanks in advance
Your videos are great. Lots of useful information. I've recently bought FRITZ!Box Fon 7050 for ~$5 and comparing to your Linksys at 15:15, Fritz doesn't seem to have so many options. I wonder if you had a chance working with them and if they are capable to work similar to your examples?
If anyone will be interested in Fritz box setup, this worked fine (although some differences, it's easy to setup) www.asteriskguru.com/tutorials/fritz_box.html
One note: I've tried to install Asterisk and FreePBX (yes, I saw the warning on their site that manual install is only for pr0) on Raspbian (Stretch) Lite to keep all my other stuff in place. It took ~12h and it failed miserably. Well, I failed miserably (yup, I'm definitely not a pr0). There were so many issues that it's hard to guess where to start. So I went back to the original procedure with image from their site. It's based on Stretch, so I expected no issue. Far from the truth. First, main user is root so some programs complains. But even after creating classic `pi` user, installation of Node-RED fails on installing Node.js. So looks like having both Asterisk/FreePBX and Node-RED is out of my reach? I have Raspberry Pi Model B (yeah, old one). Ideally I would go back to Stretch Lite and somehow add Asterisk/pbx there. It's not used widely so it's hard to find proper place to ask for advice.
You're right that there's not much information about there - when researching this series myself I had to do a lot of trial and error, as there's hardly any up-to-date documentation! Rather than doing a manual Asterisk/FreePBX install, is there any reason why you can't start with the RasPBX distribution and then add Node-RED to that?
Thanks for the answer. I've tried that way, I was unable to install Node.js on pbx image. I wrote detailed post on raspberry forum, but no one answered. So far now I can have either pbx or node, not both.
It's a shame that when ever you type in command and we pause it to make sure we are getting it right, you can not see what you have typed because the time line and text generated by youtube hide it. Most annoying and you need to be aware of this and leave room at the bottom and top

I been trying to get this to work for 2 years worth of tinkering with this, after all this time it was this simple! thanks for the video!

Filezilla over port 22 or whatever your ssh server port runs on will be fine instead of WinSCP.
