As a FreeSWITCH consultant, one of the things I do regularly is set up new environments for working with clients. Yesterday I decided it would be nice to automate the process of basic management for these installations, and the freeswitch-env script was born.
Here’s the basics:
Usage: freeswitch-env <install|uninstall|list> <env-name>
env-name: The name of the envelope to create. Will be appended to
'freeswitch-' to create the final envelope name
Install goes through the standard configure/make/install steps, plus handles installing the default sounds, music on hold, and config files. If configured, it will also set up an init script for starting/stopping the install (I’ve only tested this on Redhat, but others would probably work with minor tweaking).
The script is fairly configurable, allowing you to specify a custom source code location, base install path for environments, user to run FreeSWITCH as, etc.
It’s released as part of my new freeswitch-utils package, where I’ll be adding other handy scripts, etc. that I find useful when working with FreeSWITCH.
